Truly one of the most fucked-up games I've ever played! The early murders made me sick to my stomach despite the playful Persona 4 art style. But then I had to see the mystery through to the end - the story and twists kept me going. Ending was both extremely cheesy and extremely dark. Don't think I'll continue the series but glad I finished this one.
All around a very solid experience. The whole story was really well crafted and there was always so much intrigue going on that made me curious and try to piece bits of the plot together. But none of that would have been possible if it weren't for a handful of incredibly well-written, endearing, and entertaining characters. I'm talking about Makoto, Kyoko, Byakuya, Sakura, Celeste, Alter Ego, and the one and only Mastermind. They all made the story something I could truly care about, because I cared for them. Makoto's development throughout the game was really awesome to see unfold. As the main character I thought he was a great representation of the player going through all of this at the same time, and an incredible embodiment for the theme of Hope. Learning about Kyoko's story and getting answers about her was a contributor to a lot of my intrigue in the story. And overall her personality very nicely fits into the category of characters I typically love. Byakuya is an asshole, moving on. I thought Sakura and Celeste's motives and endings were super well-written and compelling. For Sakura in particular I didn't think much of her at all until chapter 4 where I really started to like her. Alter Ego is a character I was not expecting to find so endearing. It made Chihiro's character and circumstances during the story a lot more sad and overall it was just really hard to not like Alter Ego. And finally the Mastermind who I won't name. Despite not BEING there during almost the whole game, their presence was still around during the whole story. And the reveal and subsequent display of how insane and off the walls they were was an unexpected twist.
On the otherhand, there were some characters who were really annoying or straight up uninteresting such as Toko, Hiro, and Hifumi. The rest of the cast was either fine or didn't have enough content for me to form a real opinion. I won't go into why I dislike or don't feel anything towards those characters, all I have to say is that some are just gimmicky and nothing else, and some are just boring and forgettable. I think those specific characters who I wasn't super fond of ended up bringing the game down quite a bit for me, but not in a way that they ruined the experience.

Мне нравится эта часть и мне нравятся персонажи этой частью, большую часть игры для меня сделала Тока. Единственная часть Данганронпы которая не заканчивается абсолютно уебанским твистом который не имеет смысла, простая игра с простым концом. Как сказал мой друг который ее недавно прошел "Миллионы девочек были правы, это действительно классная игра".
i would not think in a million years that i'd have the capacity to love this game, yet here we are. had an absolute blast playing this over the past months. i went into this with low expectations but i came out genuinely enjoying the characters and mysteries. as cheesy as it is, the writing even got me by the balls too. prob won't play the other games for a hot minute but had some great fun with this one
I had a classmate telling me this was toxic for my brain, instead I found it quite pleasing.
I get the appeal of Danganronpa, as it is fun to run around while investigating for the lives of your friends.
The soundtrack is also really nice because not only is it good, but it also covers the voices of some annoying characters which I have found irritating
I will probably continue playing this series

great game! got into the franchise when i was 11-12, i do think theres lots of parts/characters that could've been portrayed much better. sakura & aoi mean so much to me, one of my fav casts. leon & sayaka mean a lot to me and i wish they lived longer as well as chihiro, taka and mondo. i love them
Good murder mystery game. Old and kinda camp, but it's age shows in a good way. The characters are fun, the cases are mostly good, and the ending is pretty satisfying. It's completely into itself, and it needs that to fully function, as the world is so intense and complicated. The dialogue sometimes lasts a bit too long, but I guess it's necessary for "character building". Overall, good first entry to a good trilogy, at least in my opinion :3
