    I'm shocked at how generally positive the reception to the animation is. I loved both the show and the original game but I found them to be a horrible and jarring mix here. It is great that this release gives a playable version of Steins;Gate on Switch and other modern consoles but I would absolutely not call this the definitive experience. if you're able, play the original game on Steam instead!

    Steins;Gate Elite lays down the welcome mat for newcomers whilst providing a much-needed excuse for eager fans to lose themselves in this stirring tale once more. Long-winded, technical dialogue segments are remedied with engaging animated scenes that keep you more thoroughly ensnared in it’s compelling story.

    Regardless of whether you played the original game or not, this version is worth playing just only because you can witness that array of fantastic cinematic scenes. High level caring and respectful production values for an unforgettable story.

    If you've played the visual novel, this might be worth a pass, but the animation might be enough to make this a new experience for you. If you've never experienced Steins;Gate before, or you're new to visual novels, the vibrant characters, compelling story, and beautiful animation make this a perfect entry point.
