Awesome game. Jack, Tateno and Kano are sigmas, Minoru and Kenji were kino, and the rest of the cast is extremely enjoyable. The way everything in the game is used and comes together, from sol to plot, is so amazingly well done and there's almost nothing to nitpick about the game. Absolutely recommend this as a must read vn.
Awful gameplay though so use these walkthroughs for the love of god https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/206712-428-shibuya-scramble/faqs/78896/introduction https://knoef.info/trophy-guides/ps4-guides/428-shibuya-scramble-trophy-guide/ and the speed patch as well https://pastebin.com/uiScdsNy. Though note the speed patch crashes in the Canaan scenario so swap it back out with the original exe during that part.

I'm not usually a fan of this type of vn - the short kinetic down to earth nakiges, but this wasn't the case here. The comfortable yet dreary atmosphere, the charming cast, the theme of memories and how they make us who we are, of living with your emotions, and finally the plot under the surface; this came together to make a great ride in the span of only a few hours that left me misty multiple times.
Unfortunately what makes me dock points is that the vn is too short to completely capitalize on everything it introduces. I feel like if there was even more time to flesh out the characters and their dynamics, I would be even more attached to them. What especially irks me is that there's such fascinating worldbuilding there that feels almost wasted. I can imagine this being an absolutely amazing magical realism and charage if it was longer and produced better.

20 hours of drudgery for 2 hours of entertainment, featuring the most vile and despicable fictional cast I've had the pleasure of reading about.
I would never recommend this because of how wholly unenjoyable not only the story is, but the way to go through it. Most of the routes are 90% the same with a slight difference at the end. If you do decide to play it, go for a yandere end aka what you came for in the first place, and get out.

I really believe DDLC is overhated by VN fans. It's not peak fiction, but it's a good story all the same and replaying it with this version reminded me of that.
I'd shill it for how much I liked the side stories, but you have to grind and get 100% completion of all the girls' routes to get all of them which is a massive pain. But side stories with the girls just having more sol content of bonding together instead of just crazy plot shit is what DDLC needed, and it even hit close to home emotionally because of how heartfelt it was. Monika is cool now when my first opinion of her years ago was despising her.
It's obvious that Dan is still teasing "Libitina" so I wonder what he's gonna do with that.

For a supposed romance spinoff the routes weren't very romantic at all

This is peak chuuni and your enjoyment of DI relies on how much you jive with its brand of chuuni. The fights are either raw kino swag or overly drawn out shounen bs. Ren is either my mc or total ass. The cast is either amazingly well nuanced or too underdeveloped. The plot is either super fun or overly edgy nonsense. The narration is either beautifully verbose or too pretentious.

The sol was really enjoyable to me despite me not liking it in Extra since it didn't feel like a chore to get through.
Saucegate was a joke and Confessions had people acting out of character to create mid drama. Atonement though, had me crying like a little bitch.

Didn't end up liking this as much as the first game which is a hot take. Probably because I really enjoyed the atmosphere around Suoh and her partners while Chidori bored me in comparison as a heroine.
