Before the Plot Twist - 6/10

Fairly basic "dork gets stranded on planet X, but his party is awesome sauce to balance out the cliche, then he goes galavanting against the big bads in the rest of the planet hopping." Not terrible, but good enough for what it needs to do.

After the plot twist - 1/10

But then...you HAD TO FUCKING RUIN IT! It's like Tales of Arise, but with the added benefit of "Hey, let's chuck two other games into a bin of no return because we saw .hack once."

I cannot fucking believe they had the gall to not only pull off the Plot Twist of Doom, but without Danganronpa's self awareness it was a satire on arrival. The big bads are just computer programmers, and the characters are data he created for people to watcho on TV or a video game. What the blue fuck? The 4D world is just some podunk town, and non threatening at all. People give DRV3 shit for screwing over its lore, but even as a single game (haden't played the series up to this point, you chcked all stakes away, made all your characters and their actions meaningless, and made the final boss some schlub computer programmer nutball. It's like saying your final boss is Mark Zuckerberg or something. On it's own, it's fucking sad. Knowing this is a franchise doing this, with a 2nd game that was was welll liked....ew..
