In many ways this is the best Danganronpa. It's new and shiny and opulent in its spectacle. Characters interact more, everything looks better and there's more heart in this more than the other games. I feel the same way about this game as I feel about Dark Souls 3, I'm glad it exists because it looks and plays better, despite the flaws. The trials and mystery are complex and I enjoyed them, but things kinda get weird. You sometimes need the input of Monokuma or the cubs to advance the trial and the mistakes killers make seem very stupid considering their plans. I have more criticism for this game more than the other 2. I don't know if I hold this game at a higher standard or it's the game that hints and fails at something more complex. It's clear to me they wanted to end Danganronpa with a bang, especially with trial 1 and 5. Trial 6 is the contentious one and, although I hated it at first, I think it's really good. It's one of the few twists in this series that change how you see the events before it, and not in some metaphorical sense. The number of case files in your lab, some fanservice scenes, your experience with the other games, they all start mattering and you start making theories, exploring and engaging with the material. DRV3 is a good game, I'm glad it exists and I'm quite fond of it. Goodbye Danganronpa.

I can't wrap my head around this game, honestly. Starting off with things I am sure about:
The gameplay is okay, it's rather simple and doesn't pretend to be more than what it is. It feels a bit of a chore most of the time and it's a bit all samey.
I really like the setting and the premise, I could feel the sadness and heartache between the dream and irl sections, it was well crafted.
The ending is... somewhat peculiar? There's a twist that changes the story completely and I'm not too much of a fan of it. It's not a bad ending per se, it might just be something I have to mull over. It definitely didn't go with the easiest and straightforward way and, although it's less satisfying to me, it tells a darker and more unique story that makes this game special, which is something that I can't argue with.
