    Aun sin ser fan del anime, estamos ante una novela visual de una calidad altísima, que por desgracia no puede mirar a las mas grandes debido sobre todo a la falta de interactividad por parte del jugador (le hubiera beneficiado mas minijuegos o partes jugables, como conducción por poner un ejemplo).

    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.    … Expand

    Psycho pass on the PS VITA or PS4 is a delightful Visual Novel that has to be experienced by every owner of especially VITA whether a fan of the anime series or not.
    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    Psycho pass on the PS VITA or PS4 is a delightful Visual Novel that has to be experienced by every owner of especially VITA whether a fan of the anime series or not.
    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-

    As a fan of the show and Gen Urobuchi, I expected something great, something thoughtful, something... unique. This game offers nothing as such. 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!    … Expand

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

    Ultimately, I liked Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness and that is not something I expected from the outset.

    Established fans of Psycho-Pass can revel in spending another few hours with their favorite characters and might even be considered a mandatory assignment for those interested in the CID.
