Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls Review
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls admirably steps out of the series' comfort zone in order to spread an entirely new kind of despair, but the result is a game that isn't quite as cohesive as its forebears. A massive amount of dialogue often saps the pace of an otherwise eerily tense third-person adventure, but other than that, this is a welcome addition to the franchise that's well worth experiencing if you're a fan of the maniacal Monokuma and all that he stands for.

Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls offers an exciting and decidedly chilling story for fans who have followed the series since its inception, with callbacks to the original game and important revelations those in touch with the games won’t want to miss. Unfortunately for newcomers or those who aren’t as in tune with Danganronpa, there’s not much here to convert anyone. With camera issues and repetitive gameplay, you’d be better served going back to basics. If you’re interested in Toko’s exploits or the Naegi siblings it’s best to go back and start with Danganronpa 1.2 Reload or play through the games in their release order with their original iterations. This one’s for fans only.

Danganronpa Another Episode Ultra Despair Girls is still a profound story with improved mechanics on PS4, but its standing in the series’ narrative has shifted for the worst since it originally launched.
