    As with the main Danganronpa games, there’s a number of serious subtexts to Ultra Despair Girls, and actually digging into these themes makes it clear that the game’s a lot smarter than it might appear at first.

    Danganronpa Another Episode Ultra Despair Girls is still a profound story with improved mechanics on PS4, but its standing in the series’ narrative has shifted for the worst since it originally launched.

    Not everything Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls attempts to do is a success, but it’s definitely worth playing for anyone already invested in the series. The gunplay might not rival Titanfall 2, but the different bullet-types make combat feel more akin to a solving a puzzle. Much like the story it tells, it’s far from perfect, but there are enough good ideas to make it a worthwhile endeavor.

    Ultra Despair Girls may not be as great as the first two Danganronpa titles, but it's still a worthwhile experience for fans of the multimedia franchise. There is plenty to look forward to in this entry, especially since Another Episode takes a wider look at the world than its predecessors. Getting through some of the shooting bits may be a little rough, but overall Another Episode is a game worth playing through.

    Danganronpa: Another Episode is a good entry in the series and a fun game to play for those who love the series. Unfortunately this porting fails to offer anything new from the Playstation Vita version, and even the old problems are still here.

    An undoubtedly captivating chapter.

    The shift to third-person shooter is a novel idea, but soon becomes unbearable.

    A decent 3rd Person Shooter. It‘s the darkest Danganronpa game. The story is really good and Nagito is there!

    Adult, irreverent, creative and over the top this game is the epitome of a hidden gem. Technically it may not surprise you (it's a Vita port)Adult, irreverent, creative and over the top this game is the epitome of a hidden gem. Technically it may not surprise you (it's a Vita port) and the gameplay may not be perfect but this game is ultimately about its narrative and flamboyant aesthetics and when it comes to these it is truly memorable. It will make you stop and think which is something not every game can do. Special mention for the pop art version of Venice!… Expand
