The verdict
A polished, mechanically strong Danganronpa with a memorable cast and great trials, but its divisive meta ending and PC input problems sour many players. Skip it if you hate twists that recontextualize earlier games.

Danganronpa fans who like fresh trial minigames, big casts and bold meta storytelling

The meta ending may feel like it invalidates the whole series and the time you invested
