The story of "World End Economica Episode 3" serves as a complex and ambitious conclusion to the trilogy, intertwining personal character arcs with the intricacies of the 2008 financial crisis. While some reviewers found the pacing rushed and certain character developments lacking, many praised the narrative for its depth, emotional resonance, and ability to educate on economic concepts. Overall, it is seen as a fitting end that ties up loose ends from previous episodes, though it may leave some players wanting more character exploration and closure.
- “The story is at its highest point ever and you'll be in for a thrilling story that'll also teach you a surprising amount about how economies work too.”
- “A tad bit rushed, albeit still a superb conclusion to an even more magnificent story which managed to transfer the dry analyses of the 2008 financial crisis into a beautifully humanistic, fictional tale.”
- “This story has taught me that bringing about the end of the economic world (and the world itself) is a perfectly acceptable coping mechanism if your crush ends up getting together with someone else.”
- “Firstly, it seemed like the climax the second game was building to basically happened off-camera, so this one starts four years later with all of the previous story in the rearview mirror, which was definitely a lurch.”
- “The last 1/4 of the visual novel is done well, but it's too little too late, especially since the major plot is so easily resolved.”
- “I was not satisfied with one of its major dramatic turning points of the story, nor the weak ending for that matter.”
