This is something that caught my eye because the art looked cool and science and time travel sounded cool. I’m glad I went all the way through with every ending because honestly it’s a pretty great visual novel imo. I think what makes me appreciate the story is that these are just a bunch of nerds and normal ass people (for the most part) who like science stuff and happen to make something that would fuck them up many times. Seein Okabe leap again and again trying to save mayuri was honestly kinda hitting to me and then the undoing of all the D-Mail essentially getting rid of his friends happinesses and questioning his right to play a “God” figure with this machine he was curious about at first, now despising it. Idk if I wanna write anything about all the endings but they each had their own hint of sadness to it for me (lukako ending especially) and I didn’t even plan to do them initially but went ahead and man would I have missed a lot of good story parts. I will admit it got slow sometimes but it used its slow ass time to sorta build the world around okabe a bit and a minor character development but nothing crazy we learn about most except for like Mayuri and Kurisu.

The soundtrack kinda can get repetitive but it doesn’t help I do like the gates of Steiner melody quite a lot despite the hundreds of iterations it uses. Even the others tho were nice to hear. So nothing too ground breaking maybe kinda mid but the OST did it’s thing

Will say about the true ending experience, the peak of it after seemingly thinking it’s just the Kurisu ending but then the break in the credits kinda got me in surprise. What happened in that final chapter was honestly so good with Okabe seeing Suzuha again and with conviction to save Kurisu, but failing at first seeing him all but totally giving up and doesn’t want to take it in anymore killing his loved one. But with friend and co he gets back up (even himself being a hype man from the future in that video email) and does it again even fucking tanking a knife stab to save shawty I was like “Damn okay okabe rintaro”. The epilogue after when he gets out the hospital and hands each member of the future gadget lab their pins he made was honestly heart warming. When we finally got to the cross encounter with Kurisu and that whole “possibilities are infinite” shit had me a lil tear and him saying everyone remembers those 3 weeks worth of memories and him seeing it wasn’t all for nothing and to cherish that time was just peak to me. Ending it with “This is the choice of Steins;Gate” I was like LORDY we ate good.

Overall, group of the greatest chunni’s ever that are normal ass people make something big that causes many pain to them and finally undoing all that was a good visual novel and honestly I recommend the experience of it.

I’m not a very analytical person or smart to write some essay for backlogged that got me on pretentious type shit sorry. This next month my money boutta go up we get those collectors editions for S:G within due time.
