(1min read)

Danganronpa 2 Goodbye Despair is a sequel to Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc both of which are weird and very dark visual novel / adventure games featuring talented school children who are forced into killing each other. The sequel is a very similar game with new intrigue, new characters and some additions/improvements to the existing gameplay mechanics.

Pros

  • Very similar to the first Danganronpa game.
  • Fun new character designs that will most likely grow on you.
  • Murders are as outlandish and intriguing if not more so than the first game.
  • Visuals and soundtrack are off the charts.
  • Story goes through many twists and turns keeping you excited almost constantly.

Cons

  • Very similar to the first Danganronpa game.
  • Drags on at times (took me 40h to get through).
  • There’s no option for adjusting auto text scroll speed (this is a basic feature for any VNs).
If you really enjoyed the original Danganronpa then you will probably enjoy the sequel to a certain degree. However I recommend taking a break in between your playthroughs of both games because they are very similar and playing 80h of Danganronpa in a row isn’t a good way to die.
