STEINS;GATE

I know it's not a popular method for every reader, but I ended up torturing myself reading this and S;G0 in the "chronological" order for my first experience. It was an amazing way to read it all for the first time. Played this game all the way to almost the very end, up to a certain point in the story. Closed the game. PLAYED THE ENTIRETY OF STEINS;GATE 0 .... then came back and finally, after being emotionally drained for an extra 30 hours, finished the true ending of this one. I knew nothing about STEINS;GATE going in, read about this method of experiencing it, and man. I do not regret doing it this way at all. To anyone who has the patience to stop at the climax of the first game's story [which I know not everyone would enjoy], I highly recommend reading S;G and S;G0 this way. Changed my brain chemistry. The pay-off of finally finishing the true ending of S;G after going through all of S;G0 is something I can't put into words. Idk how I'll ever replicate the feelings this gave me, I wish I could go in blind again and do it all over for the first time.

I have no words to describe this absolute masterpiece. Even after watching the anime a whole four times before playing the original game, it blew me away completely, and the anime was already one of my absolute favorites as you could probably tell by the fact that I watched it four entire times. It is so incredibly detailed, every single character plays their role perfectly, every single scene is one to remember forever. The endings are absolute peak cinema, there are literally no words to describe them. 12/10

I'm not much into visual novels, but this one is simply amazing with it's incredible story full of twists and foreshadowing. Felt like reading an amazing book with great soundtrack and visuals. But even if you're not into VNs, buy it just for the "tutturu~!"

There is no end though there is a start in space. — Infinite. It has its own power, it ruins, and it goes though there is a start also in the star. — Finite. Only the person who (has) wisdom can read the most foolish one from the history. The fish that lives in the sea doesn't know the world in the land. It also ruins and goes if they have wisdom. It is funnier that man exceeds the speed of light than fish start living in the land. It can be said that this is a final ultimatum from the god to the people who can fight.

TL;DR It's been seven years and I still can't decide whether the game deserves my forgiveness. If you're a normie like me, better watch the anime. It changes the characters so that they are at least [spoiler]worth saving[/spoiler]. I like the plot very much. I found it very compelling, and once the game got around to telling its story, I couldn't stop reading. Action-packed, well-paced, soulful. When it's good. When it's not good, though, it's ranges from inoffensively to offensively bad. I had to suffer though the first half of the game joined by incredible charachers such as: [list] [*] Boobs-loli with the mental capacity of a 5 year old or a dog (sign me up!!! /s) [*] Irredeemably perverted best friend, a true hero of self-oblivious loli-loving neckbeards [*] Love interest with a backstory so [spoiler]ridiculously tragic[/spoiler] that I only forgot to laugh because I was paying attention to the plot [*] One I found at least somewhat grounded [*] Others [/list] Everything here is over the top. Nuance is close to nonexistent. All the characters are 10-year-olds whose brains have been transplanted into adult(ish) bodies. They all require a babysitter, but you will not be able to help them, as you will be piloting the protagonist: Captiain Cringe. As him, you will visit the most unapologetically weebful places, talk the way you would only with a gun to your head, and be generally offputting to anybody who desires to keep their brain cells. Steins;Gate perfectly utilised the visual medium in order to administer pain directly to my cringe receptors. This adventure will make you ask deep questions, such as: [olist] [*] How the hell did it get to this? [*] Why do I keep pressing Spacebar? [*] [spoiler]Do you have the right to sacrifice other people's happiness?[/spoiler] [/olist] I love the story. I viscerally hate the setting. It starts very slow, but I'm not sure if the story would work without that. Make of that what you will.

I watched anime years ago and even then I always thought that Stein's Gate is one of the best anime ever, and now after playing the VN I am even more impressed, it adds so much more to the already peak anime. Make sure to play this game at all cost you will do yourself a big favor. El Psy Kongroo

Absolutely enthralling and phenomenal VN and one that I will cherish for many reasons. As someone who has heard of Steins;Gate through word of mouth or from popular anime websites and discourse, I decided to take a long shot and read the visual novel instead of watching the anime, and I do not regret it one bit. I will keep this review spoiler free, so all I can really say is that this is absolutely worth your time. The way the story builds upon itself not only with each chapter but through all of the alternate endings allows you to explore most of the cast, their feelings, thoughts, and philosophies. This really made the true ending of this VN hit even harder. The character development and emotional build-up are done so well that you truly become invested in every choice and outcome, which makes finally reaching the true ending feel incredibly satisfying. Again I won't say too much on specific events or plot points, but I would say if you ever want to get into this medium and want to give a VN a shot that is a little longer than the casual ones, you cannot go wrong with Steins;Gate. It’s a perfect starting point that shows what makes visual novels such a special and unique form of storytelling. Overall 9/10

剧情实在是太优秀了。前五章过于漫长的铺垫以及忍受中二病男主的各种风言风语相比后面精彩的展开真的不值一提。[spoiler] 而且678章选择回收dmail的场景都好刀啊刀死我了，第9章真由理的墓前独白真的让我哭死。虽然还是有些小细节没有很好的解答如一些时穿后莫名奇妙的短信（好像就单纯的是展现一种你穿了以后这个线之前的部分记忆没了）以及为什么威胁信里有个红色果冻的配图之类的 [/spoiler] 真结局更是精彩的离谱，看完只想说一切都是命运石之门的选择，钢轮太牛逼了

I think steins gate lives up to the hype mostly. It's a very well regarded vn for a reason. The characters are all likable and well written specifically okabe himself seeing into his mind throughout it all was an absolute treat. Now it does start slow however even the slower bits are building world and character. They are also in no way boring. However when it does hit get going so to speak it really gets going the first 5 chapters are mostly build up but then the rest are absolutely peak as they say. From the end of 5 throughout the rest of the story I was either depressed or on edge as pieces fell into place and we learnt more about the mechanics behind everything. The way this game handles futility and the desire to fight against it,solitude,the loss of humanity,the idea of playing God and sacrifice is stellar to say the least. It made me feel things quite often I shed a few small tears which is uncommon for me unless media really resonates so I knew I loved it as soon as that happened. The biggest problem i can see in the game is the start for some people it may take a bit too long to ramp up i mean i don't much mind but i can see how others may especially if you are a slow reader like me. It took me about 30 hours to get to the end of chapter 5 which is as I said when the game really starts to hit so if you are dyslexic and lacking in speed like me that may just be too much. However I think overall the game is amazing as I said its handing of and its themes in general are very very well done. Not to mention the art the visual part of vn is absolutely lovely i found myself taking pictures of standout cgs very often. The music too is an absolute bop most of the time and serious when it needs to be. Overall would recommend as long as you can deal with the slow start. I hope 0 is as good. Tutturu.

I really enjoyed Steins;Gate it's one a great anime and the VN was even better so yeah buy it

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!! [h1]By far my worst visual novel experience. [/h1] I know that Steins gate had a great impact on the internet culture and sci-fi visual novels, but I can't bring myself to actually enjoy playing this game. I think there's a lot of things you can do when you have a story about time travel, and I think S;G explores this in an interesting way (as far as I've played), but the pace is so so slow I have literally 14 hours in the game and I only managed to get to the start of chapter 4, and mind you, I consider myself to be quite a fast reader, but there's just so much useless dialogue that does not add anything to the characters or the plot itself that makes you want to stop playing or just skip everything. Talking about the characters, I couldn't feel much sympathy for them except for Makise, Luka and Mayumi (will go more into it later). Okarin (protagonist) is legit the most ??? person ever, he does the same joke of calling Makise Christina and his assistant 100 times and his comments about the female characters????? Also, the main reason I stopped playing was because of the way he treats Luka, it's just so bad. It's clear to me that she is a woman, yet they constantly make a mockery out of her because she wants to be a girl. YES I know this game is old, but it's still something offensive for a lot of people. Furthermore, this game has so much uncomfortable comments about the female leads, especially the ones from Itaru about Mayumi. Overall the way the game treats its female characters genuinely saddens me. Anyway, here's a list of pros and cons: Pros: - Unique art style - Cool soundtrack - Decent voice acting - Interesting plot Cons: - Very very slow pace - Too much going on with its UI - Bad writing in general when it comes to dialogue between characters - Unpleasant male characters - Does not know how to treat gnc characters (Luka) - Bad writing of female characters - Repetitive dialogue and jokes - Incel humor - Dubious way of drawing female characters (iykyk)

If you don't buy this for $3 you should be a ward of the state with a government handler assigned to manage your finances.

I literally had to take a break from finishing this because of how emotional it made me.

The anime has been in my top 3 of all time since the day I watched it. When I found out it was adapted from a visual novel, I had to try it. And WOW. This is a phenomenal experience. I don’t usually play VNs, but this one pulled me in completely. I felt more emotions playing this than I have with almost any other game. Like I literally cried multiple times playing this and other times I have been so hyped for the characters. If you’ve seen the anime, this expands the story in all the best ways. You get deeper character moments, more worldbuilding, and multiple endings that let you explore all the painful, beautiful "what-ifs" of the STEINS;GATE universe. Play this. STEINS;GATE is a masterpiece. El. Psy. Kongroo.

No es la mejor visual novel que existe por nada, me la terminé en 1 semana, gran historia, grandes personajes, si te gusta la física y el universo, la vas a amar.

I used about 31hrs to reach every worldlines and revealed the truth of steins gate, overall, the game extremely deserves to play, i promise. If you have never tried the type of the game, you should definitely consider to take it a shot. In the beginning of the game, you may think it is so boring and awkward, but pls wait, after you enter chapter 3, you are gonna know why he acts as that, and the shadows behind the time machine, so pls DONT QUIT THE GAME!!!!! YOU WILL LIKE IT! EI PSY CONGUROO!!!

Amazing game cause has best character Faris nyannyan from stein gate

my first visual novel and had a really enjoyable experience. didn't think that it would take me long to finish yet It did take me multiple days to finish. Loved the story and the fact that it has multiple endings

Incredible... One of the most moving works I've ever experienced..

One of the greatest & most meaningful stories ever. God a bad ending on my first run which was annoying, but otherwise peak.

Amazing story, and very fun VN to play through. My only gripe is the clunkyness involved with reaching one of the endings, but it isn't enough to detract from an otherwise great game. Download the CoZ patch for the best experience.

Saw funny DDLC mod video that mimicked this story, thought to myself that I'd watch the anime because the concept was cool. Procrastinated doing so, and saw the Visual Novel on sale so went, why not. 10/10 would 100% recommend. While the anime adaptation is phenomenal, I personally love this visual novel so much more. I never guessed I'd spend over 100 hours across both this, Steins;Gate 0, and the Anime adaptations. But alas.

I watched the anime and it was absolute peak. It was so peak that I decided to buy the game and somehow it was even more peak. Pure cinema. We are all mad scientists now. El Psy Kongroo.
