    This game was set up to be fantastic. The mechanics and setting are a bit worn by now, and the secrets unlocked throughout the story weren't as 'blood-pumping' as the first two games, but it was still fun! I really liked a few of the characters and I couldn't wait to see how the story would resolve itself in the final chapter, and how it would tie in with the first two games + the anime.This game was set up to be fantastic.

    That was the problem. The final chapter. The final chapter ruined all the time I had spent with the game and I felt no closure in completing it. Some may claim it was 'clever', but to me, who invested in this game to see a continuation of the story built in the first two games, the game was just one giant middle finger to me. I now understand why so many people were saying they were glad they just watched playthroughs of it online instead of spending dough on it. This backwards 'cleverness' is not the type of developement I want to financially encourage.    … Expand

    Danganronpa V3 ( if you will pretend that ultra despair girls doesnt exist ) is the Worst game in the series. The game Has the few of the most clever murder cases in danganronpa history and a cast of intresting characters. I had a lot of fun playing that game and enjoyed the story.. until the ending came. I wont spoiler the ending for you but it's one of the biggest disappointments relatedDanganronpa V3 ( if you will pretend that ultra despair girls doesnt exist ) is the Worst game in the series.

    Just about the only new thing this time around is the ending, which arguably recontextualizes the entire series in a way that’s sure to leave some people infuriated. Personally, though? I don’t think that a controversial, divisive ending changes the fact that everything that comes before it is basically just 35+ hours of more of the same. If you’re a PS4 owner, of course, all of this will seem new and kind of scandalous, so I can see why it may appeal to some people, but for Vita owners hoping that the previous Danganronpa game marked a new direction for the series, Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony will represent a bit of a step back to the safe and familiar (to the extent, obviously, that Danganronpa could ever be described as safe).

    While I can’t discuss story details, Danganronpa V3 shines by highlighting the memorable cast while twisting the story around in surprising ways. The structure doesn’t change much from the prior two entries and it doesn’t need the minigame padding, but that doesn’t stop this from being a fantastic experience. Fans of the series owe it to themselves to play V3, as it was clearly created with them in mind and holds up perfectly alongside Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair.

    Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is the ultimate murder mystery experience with many new ways to get through the class trials, a large world that expands the more you play, and an interesting story behind it all. If you're intrigued and can put up with the vulgar sophomoric content then this is a must-buy game.
