About Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
The follow up to Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. The main character, Hajime Hinata, a new 'Ultimate' student at Hope's Peak Academy. On their first day, Hajime and all of his classmates are taken on a field trip to the mysterious Jabberwock island by their anthropomorphic rabbit teacher, Usami. Usami explains that on this island the students are to have fun together and become friends to gather Hope Fragments. Usami's field trip does not go as planned when Monokuma appears and begins a new Killing Game. Anyone that wants to leave the island must commit a murder and get away with it. If the murderer is successful, he/she is allowed to leave the island, while everyone else is killed. When a murder occurs, the player investigates. After the investigations, a trial commences to determine who the culprit is.

I picked it up right after finishing the first one, expecting more of the same, and somehow got attached to this cast even harder than the last one. Ended up staying up way too late more than once just to see what the next trial would throw at me.

I keep going back and forth on where I'd put this one honestly, because on one hand the writing takes real risks the first game never really attempted, but on the other hand some of the pacing choices in the middle stretch just don't land the same way for me anymore

Pareil pour moi, la comparaison avec Ace Attorney me revient tout le temps, l'écriture ose plus mais perd un peu en efficacité par rapport aux procès.

Played it on and off during a long vacation, mostly at night when everyone else was asleep.

The pacing issues in the middle really do stick out more the second time through, at least for me.

Ah, parce qu'on va encore me dire que c'est le meilleur de la saga, c'est ça ? Je l'ai fait d'une traite un été où je n'avais rien de mieux à faire, et j'avoue que l'île m'a bien plus marqué que je ne l'aurais cru au départ, va savoir pourquoi.

¿A ti también te pasó que el tramo final se te hizo cuesta arriba, o solo me pasó a mí?

Otro duelo más y seguimos votando igual desde hace meses.

¿No es raro que sigamos votando exactamente igual duelo tras duelo? A mí me da la sensación de que el puesto está bien puesto.
