Another zero pointer for me done! I have bought and finished Danganronpa V3!
The trilogy is officially over (I hope the spin-offs come to Xbox too though). I’ve got to say, after wanting to play these games for so long, I’m glad that chance was finally given on my preferred console. I’ve still got plenty of side content to get to (and this 100% specifically looks like it might be pain), but the story is done.
Now, what are my thoughts on V3’s story? Well, it feels very Danganronpa for better or for worse (I’m sure most of us know what I mean by this). Each game has their own twists and turns, characters you love and hate, and a homicidal robotic bear that keeps the story moving.
V3 itself has a solid story, some great twists that I both did and didn’t see coming, and some memorable characters that belong among the other fan favorites. With that said, without spoiling anything, the different way the team went about this game definitely has a lot of mixed emotions among the fanbase. My take on it? It feels very Danganronpa. I know that sounds like a very cheap answer, but that’s probably the easiest way to summarize it.
One thing I did love about this game is the new minigames within the trials. Psyche Taxi specifically is probably my favorite one. Hangman’s Gambit got a makeover in the best way possible. The new Argument Armament plays similarly to 2 (iirc), but I had a harder time keeping up with the rhythm at times. Mine Mind is an okay minigame, nothing to really write home about.
The soundtrack continues to kick ass, whether its rearranging classic tracks or new songs entirely. This one will definitely be seeing some Spotify listening time.
All in all, if you like the first two games I highly recommend checking out V3. If you didn’t, well I don’t think this one will change your mind.
Hopefully we see Super Summer Camp and Ultra Despair Girls make their way over to Xbox, although I have doubts about the latter.
So Long! Bear-Well!
