The first Danganronpa game is probably the least enjoyable, and coming back to it after playing the rest of the series it definitely shows its age, but even that aside this is a good visual novel. The murders are decently fun and satisfying to chip through, and the character interactions and plentiful and enjoyable.

I also love the atmosphere this one manages to pull off. The only Danganronpa game to entirely take place in buildings, it pulls off this feeling of isolation and dread well. This combined with the (relatively) plainer character designs and the general mystery of the death game concept creates what is probably the most down-to-earth game in the series, whatever that means for something like Danganronpa.
