    Near four years since its original release and Doki Doki Literature Club has still stood the test of time thanks to this ‘Plus!’ edition. Where there are some shortcomings in the fact that it takes a little while to get the ball rolling and will be even harder to enter unspoiled, it’s worth it when you consider what’s on offer. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is a delight. It’s horrific. It’s heartbreaking. But most of all, it’s a wonderful model of how to take the visual novel formula and absolutely turn it on its head. Just be aware, there’s some sadness behind those anime characters’ eyes.

    Doki Doki Literature Club Plus offers a few new scenarios with these characters to warrant the price tag for fans wanting to spend more time with these characters. However, it was much easier to overlook the flaws in the writing and short runtime when the game was free. Although the twists and relationships are notable, I couldn’t help notice by the lack of direction of this updated content that added little to the experience.

    An overall great expansion for an already lovely game. The virtual machine thing kind of ruins the experience a bit in my opinion, but it isAn overall great expansion for an already lovely game. The virtual machine thing kind of ruins the experience a bit in my opinion, but it is justified due to the addition of some elements like the music player. The side stories are pretty good and the art style is still as good as ever. It can easily be 100%'ed in a weekend. Congrats to Team Salvato for improving an already excellent visual novel. Can't wait to see what the studio brings us in the future.… Full Review »
