Now, this is a proper series climax! And I climax too! Publix Instagram pool which one of us had the best climax? Nah it's me so let's get into this game. It goes from a pale copy to a parody of the series within the first 30 minutes. Now, there are officially more teddy bears than I have fingers. We don't need motives Monokuma, I have a decent one for every spawn of yours. Speaking off, deaths have become grittier, haven't they? I know it's like that gif of Spongebob and Patrick riding a rollercoaster, but still. Kodaka can't stray too far from the recipe if he wants the meal to be recognizable.

Thank the heavens Shuichi is likeable, else we would have a really big problem here! Luckily, he fulfills his role well in spite of the naysayers. He has more personality than he let on at the start, kinda like Chiaki? Regardless my two scrunklies are Himiko and Kaito. I cannot live without them, but can they live with me? Nop, they're fictional wink wink. Massive crush on Angie and Tsumugi, also I guess Keebo, but I wasn't interested in girls before V3, huh in Danganronpa universe atleast. That's a lie I'm not forgetting Mahiru, she's still here in fact... as Tenko (ignore this foolish statement lest you crave lack of media literacy).

These minigames be a little nutty. Scrum Debate and Psyche Taxi are iconic enough to vouch for the rest. Imagine like, pulling up to the function to argue with a mf like Kokichi Oma lmao I'd drive bitches in my head too. Look, Kokichi is a figment of our imagination that's why I won't say anything more concerning this sorry ass individual. I loved when he said "I am not in danger Skyler, I am the danger!!" though. Kokichi is what we all would be if our major milestone into the adult life was graduating elementary school and not highschool.

That's a great way to end the trilogy ngl. Dangan always has fire endings. Kodaka hasn't brought this heat outside of Akudama Drive lately. V3's UI is fantastic, so are sprites, but the CGs look sabotaged ahah, different artist, you did good work, but it's just not very Dangan with its offputting (compliment) and wacky visual identity. Look, I know these games like Dangan and OMORI choose to be edgy and that's a popular word for kids aged 12 to 17, but these two series deserve more. A romance between a toxic male and a strong independant woman being as poignant and deep as it is speaks volumes. Kaede, Shuichi, Kaito... ungodly amount of rizz.

Our favourite schizophrenic loser game hit the big time. Budget is high and everything looks and sounds awesome. Trials one, four, and five are genuine highlights of the series. The reveals in this one had me geeking and jumping out of the seat and shit but that's also because I'm a clown. Love some of the characters, and the roster that lives past like case three is actually pretty stacked. Unfortunately the ending is half good and half obnoxious. The big twist comes of as a writer that hates their product, and is opting to just shoot it in the head rather than talk about it. The social commentary is pretty neat though and added "real fiction" to my vocabulary. I like Kokichi but he does not compare to my boy Nagito (or Shuichi). Other characters like Kaito, Maki, Rantaro, Kaede, Himiko, Kii-bo, and Gonta are all pretty great and I think the writers really pulled together a bunch of really good character arcs and dynamics that are exciting and satisfying to watch.

Best cast, presentation, overall soundtrack. I think the end was a little funny, a tad confusing. Some mixed signals.
I think this is the best DR game.

This game is longer than it needed to be. None of the minigames are fun. Cases will bring up obvious reveals but through the lens of a slow taxi game, making plot points drag. Other times they will talk in circles in an effort to make class trials last longer.
The extra modes you unlock after beating the game are horrid. Just awful. I think the character interactions are cute and the idea doesn't seem too bad- IT'S BAD. If you fail to roll high enough to complete laps before time runs out, all of that progress is lost...? Who's idea was this?? Horrible. So much grinding you have to do, across multiple runs. Hard pass.
Also, every Danganronpa game has HORRIBLE audio mixing. It's impressive.

Danganronpa 'V3' is a courageous-enough effort from its creators to engage in (productive) discussion.

To discuss the morality of what goes on in our little brains that we enjoy a game about killing.

To discuss the value found in the stories told between that.

And finally, to discuss the fact that it's all made up.

By writing its entire narrative on the thematic of ''truths and lies'', Danganronpa's creator and writer Kazutaka Kodaka manages to spread a philosophy so blatantly obvious it's almost hard to understand; stories are make-believe tales we tell ourselves as a method of coping.
They help us navigate a world which at times feels hard to believe is real. And in that context, even the most absurd, out-of-this-world, made-up BULLSHIT narrative— has inherent meaning.

Danganronpa finishes wishing for its audience to understand the importance of some of these lies, and the immense difference a few of them can make on to the real world.
Although... somewhat ironically, I fear this sort of loaded conversation has unfortunately flown over more than a couple heads.

Читая обзоры на эту игру перед прохождением думал что это будет полная дрисня, но игра приятно удивила, в ней есть то, чего нет в прошлых двух частях, развитие персонажей и мини сюжетные линии которые идут паралельно с основной игрой. Абсурдные загадки которые не имеют никакого смысла, идиотская абсолютно концовка которая вызывает ощущение что автор просто заебался придумывать и не смог по человечески закончить трилогию и решил использовать самый ленивый трюк. Но как и с второй частью, интересные дела, интересный путь до концовки. Единственная часть где есть настолько противные и раздражающие персонажи что неиронично хотелось забросить игру, но ближе к концу они развиваются и уже не так сильно бесят. Больше эмоций вызвала чем прошлые две части, но не скажу что исключительно положительные эмоции. Все равно хорошая игра.
