As far as the new powers, animations, etc. go, super cool! Though I do have to say they start to feel a bit old by the final worlds. (Not counting the final final one, that one I loved). Also, kinda wish they got a bit more creative with the bosses.
Now, it's a very good game for its era, with incredible atmosphere and music. The platforming is sorta wonky every so often, but overall pretty fun, and the ambience of the setting is pretty cool, in a dark but not excessively so way.
With that out of the way, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT set the difficulty to hard, because it's like HARD hard. I had to CONSTANTLY quicksave else some enemy would drop a bomb from the sky and instakill me or the like. Speaking of which, the combat is pretty clunky, specially at the beginning, not so much once you get the nuke emitter thingy.
Even with that, you kinda can't help but fall in love with the game. Alice's insanity and some twink cat's smooth voice telling riddles could not have been more appealing.

I must admit, I went it without expecting much. I didn't really like Danganronpa V3 compared to the earlier ones, so I supposed it was gonna go in the direction. But nope!
Excluding chapter 3, which was kind of normal-ish, the game's story is super interesting. While it's a bit silly in typical Kodaka fashion, it explores pretty interesting themes, and the plot twists leading up to it are amazing. Chapters 4&5 in particular are spectacular, imo the best ending a Kodaka game's ever had.
The characters are overall pretty good. Fubuki, Vivia, Yuma and Shinigami I love, Halara and Furio I feel could have gotten some more development, and Desuhiko is the typical pervert guy that we can't seem to get rid of, so yeah. The villains being different each case was sort of dull because you can't feel sorry for them, so I was glad Makoto (whom I also appreciate) got in the picture. Also wish I got to see more of Pucci, but alas...
Overall, while it has some faults, I think it's a pretty good detective game, and I also find a bit unfair to compare it to Danganronpa. Sure, same creator and same mystery theme, but they're just different sagas.
