Захватывает целиком, великолепная история

At first this game didn't really catch me; A Chunnibyou Scientist accidently makes a time machine and makes all his friends wishes come true. Then Chapter 5 hits and everything gets fucked. Then this turned into a perfect tragedy as this scientist becomes actually mentally unstable as he has to systematically undo each of his friend's dreams to save his childhood friend. And then the Coup de Grace: you have to sacrifice the woman you love to save your childhood friend. I especially love that they stuck with a bittersweet kind of ending where even in the true ending where you can save both of them from dying, the girl you love still doesn't remember how you fell in love; its a perfect Bittersweet ending.

Feels as heavy as reading Fate/Stay Night, but I love the aestethics and presentation regardless.

the vn is great and you should watch the anime, wait 8 years, and then play it. adds to the experience

I love the visual novel also, but I think this is one of the few cases where an adaptation of the source material is better. The anime in this case. A romantic relationship buildup is very important for the last chunk of the game to be impactful. The visual novel made it so if you miss one flag for it, you stop being eligible to get any of the later ones. The ending has little impact in regards to internal conflicts without it. Which you'd need to follow a guide for to get them all.

Even so, the anime presented it much better. Other than that, this game has a lot more filler. At least compared to Chaos;Head Noah and Steins;Gate 0 from the same company. Early in the game, the game takes 2 hours to explain all the time travel theories at the time of the game's release, for an example.

What you lose, the non-canon endings not present in the anime don't affect the experience much. They all feel harem-y where it's just focused on the main character getting buddy buddy with the other women. They have nice ideas, but they all boil down to that.

Ideally, if you liked either, I think it's great to watch the anime or play the game also. But I think watching the anime and seeing the Mayuri ending for the visual novel also is enough.

It's overly long but the narrative structure and the way that its formed to the visual novel format is really clean. It also has a really nice cast. Try to avoid binging it, and don't be too afraid to skip filler, with caution.

a charming and emotional story of time travel and ethics. the main advantage over the anime is the extended alternate routes, which considering the circumstances of canon, is very important. plus where else are you going to get 2000's era 4chan references played completely straight?

work of art tbh i love kurisu and god the art is . so nice .

masterpeça, umas das melhores visual novel que tive o prazer de jogar

holy shit how can this be so boring????

that said, I do like faris a bit, and chapter 11 was exciting as hell, so it left a good taste

Steins;Gate is an amazing time travel story from start to finish. Okabe is probably my favorite of all time. One thing I have to say though is that Suzuha ending hit HARD.

this is literally the only vn you need to read

Very good game, pretty enjoyable too.

One of the best visual novels and straight up one of the best stories of all time, it’s just an absolute masterpiece with some of the best writing i’ve ever seen. The time travel they use and the way they use it is so insanely good and well executed.

Even if you’ve already watched the anime it’s still worth reading

if u think this story isn't for u i promise just wait it out until ch5

Good time travel story, Okabe is the best.


Shit from a butt.

It's been 3 months since I last played this and at this point I've realized I just really can't be fucking bothered to force myself to finish it. I've completed 7 out of 10 chapters, if it was ever going to get good it already would've 10 times by now. I kept forcing myself to push forward through the torture this "novel" subjected me to, and for what? To "legitimize" my opinion by actually completing the whole thing? Maybe it was because I felt like I was going crazy whenever I looked at this shit's ratings and saw everyone praising it as the greatest work of art ever made. And so I kept looking for whatever the hell everyone else saw in it.

But nah, this shit's fucking terrible.

Maybe anime was a mistake after all.

As overrated as the anime. The protagonist is unlikeable and all of the supporting characters are annoying, one-note anime tropes. It's tonally inconsistent and has poor pacing. The humor is unfunny and a lot of it is just sexual harassment. The strong point is the sci-fi storytelling, but even that feels pretty underbaked.

They should add support for resolutions higher than 1080p and integrate the third-party fixes if they're going to charge this much. Spike Chunsoft's pricing is absurd.
