The final batch of downloadable content for Drakengard 3 is set to release today, allowing players to 'complete their inventories' with a variety of premium items up for purchase. While its spin-off series, Nier has found much love in the west with the release of 2017's Nier Automata opening up the rest of the series to the public eye, Drakengard's success was mostly domestic while remaining in cult classic obscurity internationally. Yet this year's replay felt different, somehow more engaging probably due to my knowledge of how far the series has gone since then. My relationship with the Drakengard (or Drag-on Dragoon as it's known in Asian territories) series is a long one and I'm no stranger to replaying these games in general. And what better way to start than one of my personal favorites of all time, Cavia's 2003 cult classic Drakengard. In a year where most publishers released remasters and remakes, it only felt appropriate to look back on some of the series that defined my taste. From crowd pleasers like Pokémon Platinum to more niche entries like Mistwalker's The Last Story, I've replayed a lot in an eager attempt to fill in the gaps in my nonexistent backlog.

2020 has been a rough year but it's also been a year that's been mostly marked with replays of some of my most beloved games.
