danganronpa with better minigames and somehow even more gay people

danganronpa with gameplay

this game slaps

pretty good. definitely worth the money

i think this ending synthesises the goofiness of the club with the wider thriller elements quite well, though i do think akasaka's whole deal can be a bit much. despite that, higurashi as a whole is a 10/10 for me. i did a pretty good job at figuring some of the reveals of the last few chapters out but wow. it all really threw me for a lot of loops. i played the rest of the arcs on my phone using the unofficial android port, but will be buying the physical edition soon. i need this on my shelf.

s tier game

first open world survival RPG with crafting to be good

update: nvm it was kinda just a skill issue this game slaps

okay on further playing of this game on higher stakes i've come to realise that it's a great concept that's mostly executed well but falls flat at the high stakes. this is why:

- boss blinds can kill a run thats scoring 1mil on like ante 3 just by debuffing every card you have. often, especially on higher stakes where you need to commit to a build sooner, if you havent found the reroll voucher or the luchador or whatever you will just instantly lose on an unlucky boss blind roll.

- as far as I can tell, many seeds are completely unwinnable. this is bad. the degree to which the player can affect the result of the game seems to *decrease* the more you play, as you realise that without getting lucky and getting a crazy build by ante 3 on the higher stakes you might as well hold R.

this game is very fun normally. the mechanics are fun to explore and watch interact with each other. i greatly enjoyed playing it until i unlocked the higher difficulties, which i feel rely too much on cheap artificial difficulty. i still recommend it though

better puzzles and more focused on an intricate storyline and worldbuilding than the first game, but misses out on some of the horror from the first game while retaining a similarly oppressive atmosphere. honestly I couldn't tell you which is "better", both are unique experiences that are worth playing through and appreciating on their own terms. 10/10

it has extensive singleplayer content, it works online, and it's fun. hopefully its competitors take this into account when they try to emulate its success

the monetisation is outright extortionate though as it is in all new fighting games. i'll probably buy future season and battle passes but it's pretty egregious lol

also the soundtrack is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mid except for a handful of songs. like jesus christ my main (juri)'s theme sounds like an ad for a razer gaming headset
