It would be amazing if it weren't for the setting and frankly numerous plot-holes. Gundham Tanaka is literally my favorite character in fiction.

Playing this for the first time at the end of 2024. Really good story, music is great, gameplay is improved from the first. I don't really like all the weird suggestive anime poses they put one girl in, but maybe that comes together later on in the game. Having a lot of fun w/ it.

Probably the best entry in the series, greatly improving upon the foundation set by Trigger Happy Havoc. I found myself liking most of the characters more than in the first game and V3, where I only connected with a few. The story expands nicely on the events of the original while still feeling fresh, despite sharing some plot similarities. Most of the trials are solid, however, like in basically every mainline Danganronpa game, the third trial is pretty weak and quiteeasy to figure out who the killer is. Despite that, this is likely my favorite of the three games. As for the extra content, the game includes two additional modes and a novel that follows an alternate timeline to the original. While it's a short read at about 700 pages ( which you could probably finish in an hour ), it was still enjoyable. The Island Mode and Magical Girl Miracle ★ Monomi game modes are also fun additions. However, Magical Girl Miracle ★ Monomi can become quite repetitive if you're aiming to 100% the game and unlock all achievements. Overall, it's pretty worth it to give it a try.

Basically better than the first game in every way. The story only gets better the longer you play. The game will always foreshadow significant plot twists beforehand. Just like the first game pay attention to dialogue and don't forget what it shows you.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair was so good now that I finished each and every part of it, I am left with the feeling of loss and emptiness. I really wish I could replay this game again ugh. The characters and story were just so unique and the mystery surrounding this island made this game so fun. This is peak danganronpa and I inhaled this game so fast and just couldn't stop. Every mystery was so well thought of, the minigames were so pleasant and didn't feel like a chore, magical monomi was..okay, every part of this game was just so well done! I really recommend this game to any visual novel or mystery enthusiast and can't wait for my next danganronpa game. The things I would do just to reborn to play Danganronpa 2 again...
