    Danganronpa V3 is a very good game. For me better than the first one but worst than the second one. I need decimals to score this game with an 8.5. The gameplay is absolutely gorgeous, but the characters are not as good as in the second game. And the final of the game is an example of why smoking drugs is bad :)

    Hasta el capítulo 6, Danganronpa V3 es el mejor juego de toda la saga. El final es super original pero si sos fan de la saga te deja con un mal gusto en la boca, no me interesa los plot twist y eso, siento que las 200 horas que gaste en la saga se fueron al tacho.

    the story and the characters are like always GREAT, danganronpa v3 has an amazing story and amazing characters, i must say that the characters in V3 are by far my favorite from any other danganronpa game, without spoling too much i can say that the dialogue and conversetion this character has is so enjoyable and geting all the special events has such an amazing reward since just seeing them talk its just great.

    the game has some extra minigames like "salmon" which is basically the chance for you to talk and have fun with all the characters, if you like to have a game in 100% completion this is not gonna be boring in fact you are probably gonna enjoy getting it. there are other games who are hard to understand but at the begginig but you get the hang of it, there is a board game in which you pick a character that u want and make him grow stronger this also has some funny interaction on pixel forma and some talk interaction between characters from different games, this is extra and even so the interactions are so great u can tell the developers put allot of hearth into the game

    BUT why am i puting an 8 then? well the game has some flaws
    first when it comes to details like music and colors the game comes a bit short in comparison to the other games, now this wouldnt be a problem if it didnt happen in some of the most important part of the games, i just dont feel the same pressure and exitment i felt on the other games... for example on danganronpa 2 when someone argue against you, the characters pop off, it has a red background, the music was loud and the characters were screaming at you too... IT FELT LIKE A REAL DEBATE! but in v3... its too quiet... the music is a paino who tries to be loud and epic just fails and the background change from red to yellow, i know it was used so it shine in comparison of the other colors but it still suck.

    now this is just one little detail, the rest of the music like the taxi drive is regular and the scrum debate is actually really good.

    another problem is the trials...
    now dont get me wrong, the majority of the trials are great but 2 in particular are just... too obvious? by that i dont meant that u know exactly what, how and why something happened but u at least know 2 of this questions, i dont want to spoil too much so im gonna say it really vague but if you dont wanna risk it dont read it.

    one case its so pinfully obvious what happen if you are part of a certain demographic which majority of people who play this game are and in other case its just... lets just say they could have make the greates plot twist even and they throw it away

    i cant be too detailed since i dont want to be spoilerish but in conclsuion i give this game an 8
    good story, good gamplay, good characters, not very good trials, and not very good in setting the mood.

    SPOILER!!!! of what cases i am talking about

    i am talkin about case 4 of the virtual world.. the game talks about terms like teleportation, and invicibles wall like they are new to us... we play videogames we know what they are, and since you know this it doesnt take too long on how someone move from one place to another, also the fake map was already a thing in danganronpa 2 the funhouse

    the other case is the 3th, they created a new rule, a rule that protects the blackened... DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL?! imagine having a killer, someone that hurt your friend in the group, thats even worse than komaeda but NOOOOOOOO they have to repeat the same stuff and kill him, what a waste of an opportunity...    … Expand

    This game stands up to the best of the Danganronpa series, and it's a pity that it's the last we'll ever get.

    Team Danganronpa has created another thrilling game of death and deception. The visuals and music are of top quality and the characters are more well developed compared to earlier titles.

    The ending of this game is kinda controversial among fans but you cant deny it has the best cast, scrum debate, banger ost, and a badass art style

    I think that this game is really good! It has really good characters and has a pretty good ending to the series (although I know people who disagree with me). The music is my favorite in the series and there are even more modes than the last game. I really liked this game.

    Some achievements are hell to get though.

    I Just finished the game.
    And now I'm afraid I may never play a game like this.
    I also played two previous games.
    but somehow I love this one the most
    if you tired of long story in the middle, just keep up, you will be surprised

    Best overall cast with one of the best twists in all of fiction, not just video games. Anyone who appreciates pushing boundaries in fiction will appreciate the controversial aspect of the game.
    The minigames in trials are also the best yet and the game got even more stylish than its predecessors with an even better OST.

    Sadly the trials got worse as they're a lot more convoluted and/or predictable than in DR2, but still better than in the first game.

    Overall I slightly prefer DR2 over DRV3, but it's still a borderline masterpiece worth experiencing.    … Expand

    OK, so I ended this game and what I can say... Buy it!!!! It's worth even this 40 Euro but I recommended you to buy it on sales. I think Danganronpa V3 isn't the best game from franchise but It's still very good game. I recommended anyone but more for fans Danganronpa series. Good Luck Have Fun : D (review from February 2021)

    Great and exciting story game, probably one of it's kind. Still, the story ended up rather weak compared to its prequels.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I beat this for the first time a few months ago, I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. Normally when an ending is basically a franchise nuke, it doesnt end well, but here it works well enough. I'd probably put this game at the bottom of the trilogy mostly becuase it's riddled with techncal issues.… Expand

Les procès sont aussi bien mais le chapitre 2 et 3 sont malheureusement bien trop prévisible. On retrouve dans ce jeu les meilleurs exécutions de la série cependant j'ai trouvé les monokumers inutiles et chiants du début à la fin, une pure version ratée de Monomi. Evidemment les critiques émises sont seulement là quand on compare le jeu aux précédents épisodes mais il reste bien au dessus du panier par rapport à la plus part des jeux.… Expand

    A duty for all lovers of detective mysteries and other puzzle games. Unfortunately, you need quick reflexes and the ability to survive before something interesting happens. [Issue#288]

    Newcomers need not apply, but fans of the Danganronpa series are in for a treat, as the story and characters are among the best we’ve seen, while the gameplay introduces just enough tweaks to keep things interesting.

    Danganronpa V3 is not without its flaws. Class trials don’t always pan out and pacing gets in the way at times, but this is still the same Danganronpa fans have grown to love over the years. The wonderful cast of characters and immersive plot coupled with a plethora of endgame options makes this a must-play game for fans and newcomers alike.
