    Despite its title, Danganronpa Trilogy is nothing but a shiny new PlayStation 4 disc case including both Danganronpa 1 & 2 Reload and Danganronpa V3 : Killing Harmony. So there is nothing more to expect from it than three very good twisted visual novels reunited at last. SO much for the bonuses though.

    It is a bit like the Mass Effect trilogy. The ending of the third game harms the enjoyment of the whole trilogy. I am a fan of the franchiseIt is a bit like the Mass Effect trilogy. The ending of the third game harms the enjoyment of the whole trilogy. I am a fan of the franchise but would start with a warning of the final twist of Danganronpa 3. Fans of the franchise fall in between “Clever deconstruction” or “Destroying the established franchise”. All 3 games are visual novel videogames which are in detail a mixture of detective game aka murder mystery investigation and daily school life. Its strength are the well written story and characters atop the interesting cases that are intense. Some describe this as mixture of “Ace Attorney” and “Zero Escape”. The main formula of the games is that a group of students are trapped in a real nightmare. The headmaster in form of a seemingly robotic bear Monokuma explains to them that they are trapped and the only way to escape is killing a fellow student. But this is not battle royal as you have to get away with the murder undetected and there are rules that are enforced. After a dead body is found all students investigate the crime scene and after some time passes there is a class trial where the evidence is analysed and the culprit is decided by mayor vote. If they get the right person the culprit is executed. If the majority is wrong everyone except the culprit is executed. This is the setting of the games. Everyone is caught between hope and despair while you do not know who you can trust. The story has great twists and uses the characters excellent. Everyone is unique has their own motivations and values. I could understand everyone and they avoided the traps of making anyone one dimensional. Also the voice actors are great and near perfectly chosen. The gameplay is like I said a visual novel and less a true videogame. You have murder investigations and daily life parts. For the cases you collect evidence called truth bullets you use in class trials to fire at arguments (Visual system for discussions), present them and have some mini games. Those trials are intense and a highlight as the truth comes out slowly. Also Monokuma is a sadist that enjoys making your life more miserable. The second game improves the gameplay and the third is a bit mixed. Some is better other things are worse. Graphically you see that the first 2 games were for the Vita but are still fine. In the soundtrack and voice actor department all 3 games shine. Overall I am conflicted with my rating. I gave the first 2 games a 10/10 and the third a 4/10. But because the third game made such a horrible final twist I have to subtract points instead of averaging the numbers. Go with a 6/10 and a warning to avoid the third game or at least its final.… Full Review »

    Best way to play the amazing trilogy! It just really sucks that the games aren't upscaled. It's only 720-1080p, which is really unfortunate.
