I gave all 3 Danganronpa games 4 stars because they all are fantastic with their own unique problems. The first game suffers from a painfully easy beginning but has maybe the single best case in the whole franchise with Mukuro Ikusaba. The second game had some answers in trials that I had absolutely no idea what was happening and has some super hatable characters, but the murder motives were incredible and Komaeda is a fantastic plot device.

This game suffers from just an excessive amount of dirty jokes and weirdly forced relationships, but the characters themselves were deeper than any game before and had the best soundtrack of the whole series AND killed off the main character which was insane. The ending kinda sucks, but not in a "it's all a dream sucks!" kinda way, but in the fact that it took so goddamn long. They definitely could have gotten to the same conclusion with an hour less of ending. However, the ending made me not want another mainline game because this felt like excellent closure with the direction the characters took to get themselves and future people out of this Hunger Games style event. Keebo and Shuichi took completely logical conclusions and were understandable in their decisions and what they actually wanted. A quick look online tells me that this ending was divisive, but if this is truly the last game, then it's a goddamn brilliant one
