Good Game But Not for Everyone
Two Japanese visual novel games with interesting concepts, overly exaggerated characters, lots of cringy moments, unnecessarily long dialogues/monologues, too many unanswered questions, moments when things just don't make sense at all, and a lot of moments when you just want to smash your controller onto the screen. But that doesn't mean that they are bad games. In fact, most of what I said applies to pretty much all Japanese games.
The games involve seemingly innocent high-schoolers who are put in grave situations to see how they would react -- a very interesting idea. The story is full of mysteries, surprises, and twists, and the characters, although highly unusual, are easy to relate to and root for. The gameplay is what you'd expect from a visual novel -- talking to other characters along with some minigames in order to solve the mysteries of the game.
The only thing that bugged me was that the characters just talk too damn much. And its gets more annoying as the games approach their ends as the games consist mostly of dialogues. For example, it takes half an hour to get someone to admit they had committed a crime even though it is 100% decided …

Altogether, if you enjoy Japanese visual novel games, I think you'd enjoy playing these games. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend playing them.
Just finished watching Danganronpa anime series. There are two anime series based on these games. Danganronpa: The Animation is a reiteration of the first game. It was fun to see the old faces once again. I really missed some of them. Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak is itself divided into two story arcs, concluded with one final episode. The Future Arc is a sequel to the second game and the Despair Arc is a prequel to the whole series. The finale is called the Hope Arc and it wraps up the story. Danganronpa 1 & 2 were not masterpieces, but I really loved the characters and missed them. So, watching the anime series was really fun for me. If you miss Danganronpa's characters, you'll definitely enjoy the series. But I think it was a decent series regardless of the games. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Finished the 1st title. A very interesting idea, putting seemingly innocent high-schoolers in a very grave situation and seeing how they react. It got me so hooked I literally couldn't put the controller down. However, the theme of the game suddenly changed towards the end and the game turned into some kind of preaching for a certain viewpoint. Yet it didn't lessen how much I enjoyed playing it. If you like playing Japanese visual novels, especially those with heavy doses of mystery, you'll definitely enjoy these.
