    While none of the problems are significant enough to truly prevent someone from enjoying this game, the fact that such fundamental problems from a previous version have not been addressed makes it difficult to justify this version over any others. I think it’s worth seeking out and trying Danganronpa for yourself, but I can’t recommend doing so by playing a port of the mobile version running poorly on Switch.

Incredibly annoying cringe characters that would usually make me switch off. Some hit box issues in the trials and some time wasting things to investigate. However if you can look past its ridiculousness then you will find a completely thrilling murder mystery.

    Don't misinterpret 7 as a mediocre score. It just wouldn't make sense to rank this up with games I rate 8, 9, or 10.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this game and if it was more polished, I would have scored it 8. It's cleverly done and just one major plot hole near the end but it didn't affect my enjoyment and there's so much goes on it would be near impossible to not accidentally leave a plot hole.

    It really is a crazy story with plenty to think about and I really binged it.

The story feels engaging with each obstacle becoming more shocking at each reveal, all characters were entertaining and a blast to interact with. the mysteries of each murder were as fun as they were emotional. While still loving this game I believe its the weakest in the trilogy however it will still hold a special place in my heart Full Review »

    Dangonronpa is essentially a visual novel, one which initially drew me in with it’s dark plot and interesting cast of characters. As with many games in this genre however it soon becomes apparent that your actions have no influence on how events play out, and so you’re essentially left to just click through conversations for the majority of the games running time. The mini-games that make up the ‘trials’ do break this up a little, but about half-way through I felt that I may as well watch the anime that’ll tell the same story in a fraction of this games twenty-five hour run time.
