  It’s a visual novel, yes. You’re going to spend a lot of time reading. However, just about everything you read will entertain you in some way as you watch these incredibly strong personalities play off each other. If you have any hangups about playing a visual novel, let them go. Pick up the Danganronpa games on whatever platform you prefer and enjoy some of the sharpest character writing I’ve seen in years.

  Danganronpa 1-2 Reload is a fantastic collection, but it might not be for everyone. Those not particularly fond of visual novels may be turned off by the abundance of text you have to sift through. Likewise, it’s easy to imagine the occasionally plodding pacing of both titles getting under the skin of more impatient players. And if you already own the games on the PSP or Vita, you likely won’t find much of a reason to play through them all over again on the PS4. Still, if none of these caveats apply to you, you’ll find an awful lot of bloody good fun tucked into this package: especially if you already have a soft spot for Zero Escape or Ace Attorney games. Danganronpa 1-2 Reload unloads two full clips of murder mystery mayhem into the PS4 that no fan of the genre will want to miss.

  To the uninitiated to the wild world of Danganronpa, at the bargain price point only $39.99, there is really no excuse for any PS4 owner that isn’t severely adverse to the idea of reading to not pick this up. This collection features some of the most exciting and mind-bending adventures I’ve had the pleasure of reading, and it remains just as it was three years ago, highly recommended.

  Though they start off a little slow, the pace at which they begin to move is exceptionally thrilling, and you’ll find yourself drawn in until the very end, especially if it’s your first time through. My hope is that you’ll give in to the despair that is Danganronpa.

  Danganronpa manages to eke out a place at the top of the pack. Players new to the series have no reason to pass up this collection. Both games are extremely well written and hard to put down. Returning players who already know the solutions to all of the conundrums but don’t mind re-experiencing the story will find a better looking version of the original two titles here. Since this is releasing at a lower price, that’s enough of a reason to go through again in preparation for Danganronpa V3.

  So, all in all, the Danganronpa 1.2 Reload package may have a couple of problems here and there, but it isn’t enough to stop me from recommending this set. With fluid gameplay, well-presented design, and intriguing characterization, Danganronpa is a title that’s hard to refute.
