    What is special about this game is the breaking of the 4th wall in a similar manner as in Undertale/Pony Island/Inscryption. But that's pretty much it. The writing was bad, the characters bland, and the story uninteresting. I had to force myself through this game and I was only disappointed in the end. The only case I can imagine when someone leaves a positive review on this game is if itWhat is special about this game is the breaking of the 4th wall in a similar manner as in Undertale/Pony Island/Inscryption.

The only case I can imagine when someone leaves a positive review on this game is if it was their first experience in this game's shock methods (breaking of the 4th wall) or maybe they didn't finish high school yet and somehow are impressed with forced edginess.… Expand

    More than just Monika – this tuned-up 8 console release makes DDLC worth any visual novel fan’s time. The story’s darker than the graphics suggest. [Issue#4, p.91]

    Doki Doki Literature Club works best if you go into it knowing nothing about it. It’s still a visual novel dating sim, and the Plus! version really doubles down on the visual novel aspect, but it breaks the status quo and does the unexpected, making a deeply disturbing psychological horror game out of something that looks cute and adorable on the surface. The console version diminishes some of what made the PC version’s twist work so well, a necessary sacrifice to get the game to a wider audience. And if you are just looking to return to this world and these characters, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! feels like the version that was made for the fans.

    Don’t judge a book by its cover, especially when you’re part of a literature club. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! brings the cult classic back with improved visuals and six enduring side stories that explore the characters’ backdrops. What first may appear as a lighthearted dating simulator will quickly spiral into a psychological horror experience that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who plays it.
