This review contains spoilers

The compromise in favor of the idea that audiences need to shoot something in order to have a good time and the compromise that in order to talk about the idea of despair you have to have an explicit Despair Loving Terrorist Cell to justify it narratively (in the sense that Junko's fascination with despair doesn't need to be justified as a narrative choice and can just be because that's a fun theme to explore) instead of just doing No Exit on its own merits drag this one down, especially the 6th case. Hilarious character writing, charming and intellectually compelling dynamics, and solidly constructed murder mysteries are still good enough to get me through. Probably won't be continuing myself, a let's play is more likely.
