    A game full of ideas, but devoid of life. You're much better off sticking with the anime show. [Nov 2016, p.67]

    I give this game a perfect score mainly because the game does a great job sticking closely to the theme of the Anime with extremely likeable cast of characters who feel very familiar to the fans of the series. I definitely recommend you guys to at least watch the first 8 episodes of season 1 before diving into the game. It's not mandatory but this would surely make you love the awesome characters even more.
    The main hook for playing this game is definitely not the gameplay aspects as there is hardly any interaction apart from making some tough psychological choices that's sure to test your humanity all the while questioning what HAPPINESS actually means. Hope to see a sequel for this in the future.
    If you guys love either of these games mentioned below, you will surely have a great time playing PSYCHO PASS mandatory happiness-

Story is beyond lame; redundant monologues, useless scenes and cheap voiceless characters make progress devious and boring.
    The antagonist is the same-boring, uninteresting and most of all: not evil.
    To add insult to the injury, Nisamerica butchered the game even further by removing the OP from the game. Why? I don't know. Tried to reach out to them but obviously got ignored.

    The only reason I gave this a 2 is the awesome voice acting. But other than that, the whole game is a painful read. Hell, even the trophies are bugged, completed the game and still have nothing.

    If you like Psycho-Pass, trust me, and avoid this cr*p like the plage!    … Full Review »

    Si sois fans del anime, lanzaos de cabeza a por el, ya que esta muy bien realizado y la historia que cuenta complementa la del anime. Sino, si os gustan las Visual Novel aquí tenéis una con una historia muy original y profunda que os dejara con ganas de mas. Recomendado.    … Full Review »
