Steins;Gate 0

After finishing Steins;Gate 0, I can't think of it as a sequel. With how well it fits into the original story, complimenting it - Steins;Gate 0 feels like the missing half to the original that I didn't even know I wanted, let alone needed. Now that I've read it though, I can't think of Steins;Gate without it.

Steins;Gate 0 will not disappoint those close to the franchise. However, that being said, this will require a certain understanding of the previous game and the various endings that the game had. One would truly be lost jumping into this game without at least watching the anime series.  Other than a few localization errors that I saw, Steins;Gate 0 holds up as a great sequel and a required play th...

Overall

Steins;Gate 0 is as depressing as ever on PC; we take a look at Steins;Gate's sequel (interquel?), and hash out whether it's worth reading for fans of the original.

Steins;Gate 0 takes players back into a story full of world lines, imminent threats, lost love, and deep character growths. Following Rintaro Okabe through his mental tortures, the Beta world line needs some changes and with only knowing past failures, how far will you go change the story? Or is it even changeable to begin with?

Although the darker themes may throw fans, Steins;Gate 0 tells a grand tale that fans of the series will still enjoy immensely due to how well the characters and story as a whole are written.

There are few stories in gaming that have left upon me such a lasting impression as the original Steins;Gate, one that I waited nearly five years to be properly localized into English. The tale of a bunch of Japanese teens that stumble across the creation of a form of time travel (by way of sending text messages to the past) was one that left a lingering impression, unlike most titles in the visua...

Imagine if we managed to create a working time machine? How long before the future, past, and present were altered irrevocably – and would it be fun and games or trauma and death? Steins;Gate was a massively acclaimed visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus back in 2009 telling of humanity's first time-travelling misadventures.

The original Steins;Gate released to quite the critical and consumer acclaim and was considered ground-breaking by many in regards to the visual novel genre. The sci-fi/time-travelling story was extremely captivating, and the multiple endings only made it more endearing. Steins;Gate 0 tries to leap off of the success of its predecessor, by sort of being a sequel to the first game. I say sort of, b...

The game actually starts really slow but the more you play it, the more you get involved with the lives of the characters. Once you are done with your first playthrough, it keeps you wanting more to stop you from wondering what really happened or what did you do wrong. It is an enjoyable game from start to finish and you’d want to unlock all the possible endings just so you can get the whole story...
