Groundbreaking and unforgettable, Danganronpa V3 is set to become one of the most relevant titles of the generation for many people. Supported by an intelligent and hilarious script, this visual novel presents the most delightfully complicated mysteries, and shocking plot twists that put in question philosophical concepts like the truth and reality.
I’ve been excited for and anticipating Danganronpa V3 for a long time, and after playing it, I can say it was absolutely worth it. Danganronpa V3 is an impressive culmination of nearly 8 years of twists, turns, heart-breaks, and murders, and is an amazing entry in a consistently well-written and addictive franchise.

Surpasses all its previous titles somehow with an amazing cast, mysteries and vastly improved visuals. Its lower rating is a shame because there is a lot of beauty to be found in this game, as well as its ending.

A captivating sequel to the murderous anime thriller with new elements, more weird situations and an interesting plot.
The most entertaining entry in the series to date. Aside from a few drops in its pacing, this is one of the most satisfying whodunnits on PS4 and Vita. [Dec 2017, p.86]
If you delight in the sense of drama and anticipation that arises from impossible situations, if you are engaged by a twisting mystery that is never quite what you expect, then the Danganronpa series is for you.
The Danganronpa formula feels like it’s starting to get a little stale, but it still manages to pose interesting moral quandaries with a large dose of black humour and anime style weirdness.
Danganronpa is lunacy personified where games are concerned but does do a very good job in keeping the series going and make it accessible to newcomers, too. A crazy RPG experience.
I really love the franchise and specially this game. Beautiful and exciting music, amazing story and turns, the only little bit of a let down for me was the ending, but in the end something comoletely original that had never seen or thought about, despite of that fact the game is still perfect and since case 1 you get completely driven in the story and want immediatly more.

Los casos me parecen increíbles. Las relaciones de Akamatsu/Saihara, Harukawa/Momota y demás son geniales (hágase a entender que me refiero a las relaciones como personajes y no tienen relación con los "shippings"). Sin embargo, ¿por qué ése plot twist?

On the surface, the cast of Danganronpa V3 feels just like any other. The characters range from loveable to obnoxious and the trials themselves function in much the same way as previous games, where the goal is to uncover the killer by collecting and presenting evidence at trial.
The problem with V3 stems from the story itself. In previous iterations, the game slowly immersed you into the killing school life as though you were living it side-by-side with the characters, but Spike Chunsoft decided to double down on despair this time by attempting to blend fiction with reality and the end result left me feeling detached from everything I thought I knew and loved about this franchise. I understand what they were going for, and if Danganronpa was a movie perhaps it’s plot wouldn’t be so maligned, but when the objective of advancing a trial involves physically putting the controller down for story progression, that is a line no game should cross. At times it felt, for lack of a better expression, like a massive troll job.
Don’t get me wrong, V3 is still a good game worth picking up for any Danganronpa fan. Ultimately, though, I’m not sure it’s worth the emotional investment of the previous games. To each his own.

Firstly I must warn you about the final twist / reveal. While being interesting it ruined the game for me and harmed even Danganronpa 1 and 2. It is a deconstruction or like it is called today “Subverting expectations”. I looked it up and I am not alone with this. Fans of the franchise fall in between “Clever deconstruction” or “Destroying the established franchise”. Before that the game has the strengths of the franchise while being weaker that its predecessors. Those are interesting characters, well written cases and a story line that keeps you engaged. It is a visual novel videogame which is a mixture of detective game aka murder mystery investigation and daily school life. Some describe this as mixture of “Ace Attorney” and “Zero Escape”. To give you warnings. It is a new story line as the Hope Peak arc from the previous games ended not in a videogame but in the Anime “Danganronpa 3 The End of Hopes Peak High School”. The story starts again with 16 people with ultimate talents trapped in a killing game lead by a robotic and sadistic bear named Monokuma. The only way to escape is killing a fellow student. But this is not battle royal as you have to get away with the murder undetected and there are rules that are enforced. After a dead body is found all students investigate the crime scene and after some time passes there is a class trial where the evidence is analysed and the culprit is decided by mayor vote. If they get the right person the culprit is executed. If the majority is wrong everyone except the culprit is executed. This is the setting of the game. To be fair while it entertained me it is not as refreshing as before and some ideas feel recycled. Also it has the cast I liked the least from the 3 main games. The cases are mostly interesting but also are a bit weaker than in the prequels. To be fair the first one was a an intense highlight and the fifth one is a valid choice for the best in the franchise as even Monkuma got pushed into a corner. In between those I got a bit bored to be fair again. The gameplay is like I said a visual novel and less a true videogame. Spending time with fellow students and investigate murder cases when those happen. For the cases you collect evidence called truth bullets you use in class trials to fire at arguments (Visual system for discussions), present them and have some mini games. Those trials are intense and a highlight as the truth comes slowly out. Again or better said per franchise standard the graphics are dividing. I find them nice but they are a bit 2,5 dimensional and look like the scenery books for children that unfold by opening it. It could be a prime example for the phrase “It is not for everyone”. The soundtrack and voice actors are fine for me. Overall I was a bit disappointed before the final reveal that ruined the experience. I was thinking about a 7/10 rating before but the reveal draggs it to a 4/10 and I can see me giving a 1/10 to be fair for a third time. I would skip the game if you liked the first to to not ruin those with this games implications.
