What a bloody treat this was. This came onto Game Pass due to wanting to build hype for the sequel which is now out. Raz is just such a likeable protagonist and you can empathise with his journey into becoming a Psychonaut.


This game can get really twisted yet fun to get into. Each mind has hidden traumas for you to find out or fix. Gameplay is also very varied at times who knows what mind will have inside? This seemed to bomb when it came out due to little care done with marketing and the publisher being broke. But I can easily understand why it's a fan favourite.

This game is one of the most baffling things to have ever came out of Danganronpa. Anyway. To say some nice things...I really like the Toko and Komaru dynamic. Play the game just for that actually...well if you have a PS4 or Vita because Spike Chunsoft are cleaning their hands from this. No mobile port. No Switch. And as far as I can tell no Xbox. Also that last chapter as a safisfactory way to end the game.

Gameplay is fine but can get pretty repetitive. And those puzzle sections can be annoying due to some being impossible to beat. Thus making you lose a bonus in that chapter.

Story is where this game really shocks people. In a bad way. Chapter 3 legit hits you like a freight train and...you probably know by now makes the game less good for everyone. I still want to know what the original version with parkour would've looked like but ah well.

Just a hollywood action movie drawn out to 20 hours.

Alright. I did not expect much going in really. Seriously? A fantasy game with boring convoluted lore and a isekai storyline? This had the recipe to be boring tripe. Yet. It kinda blew me away.

This game had one fixed route which means more can be focused on the lengthy story which is like 20 hours long! But surprisingly it doesn't really drag out. Sure you have some anime stereotypes after all and some random cameos in for the memes but. I could really get sucked into the world and characters. Leanna (voiced by Amalee) is honestly a really good companion which you'd probably not want to hurt their feelings (you can but it's hard physically to do)
Also there's scenes that are utterly heartbreaking. One left me with a lot of empathy for my protag. Gameplay is rather simple. It's either simon says or matching symbols. You have to not screw up at these.
Only problem us that you can get interrupted with lore dumps at times. And I had to restart my game completely cause I didn't reach the true ending without looking it up.

But
Overall if you stay with it. You can find a lot of enjoyment out of it!
