It's been so long since a game had me on the verge of my tears. Steins;Gate is an anime that means so much to me, one that I truly love and adore. I was recommended this visual novel back in high school from a childhood friend of mine, but I never got to it. Years and years later, I saw this game on discount and remembered about this visual novel. And I was not prepared for the long impactful journey this game had. It does follow the story pretty well with its alternate endings that are pretty cool to see. But the one thing I will only touch on in this review is the voice acting. I haven't felt so emotional in so long when playing a game. The last time was Silent Hill 2's ending and it's been like 2 - 3 years since. But hearing the voice acting for Lukako actually made me speechless. It felt like pure agony and I cannot imagine how the VA pulled it off. I never remembered how emotional some parts get. Like with the scene with Kurisu and Okabe during the true ending at some point was so painful to me that I couldn't read and had to take a breather and wash away some tears. I couldn't believe how this game broke me. I usually don't get emotional for games, but this was truly something special.
tuturuuuuuuuu!!!!! Very awesome game that I played after watching a very slightly-less-awesome anime I recommend installing the Committee of Zero fan patch for some Quality of Life improvements
如果说接受不了人狼村的gal指数那么这个游戏真的不适合你。人狼村那种虽然冷不丁会被恶心一下,但是剧情弥补了这一点。这部我玩到现在5个小时了都还在轻松日常,节奏是不是有点慢..?前面这点还能忍受,最受不了的是文本以及角色完全恶俗加媚宅,简直没眼看。玩完感觉自己下体长出一根小而无力的迪奥。不推荐给任何女生乃至雌性生物
Hell yeah... It's Great game, I recommend for everyone who's chosen by Steins Gate! El Psy Kongroo.....

This is the choice of the Steins Gate. I watched the anime adaptation back in 2022 or so, and it's stuck with me since. I had barely watched any anime and my friend wanted me to watch Steins;Gate. I had never heard of it ever and I watched it and wow. I actually never knew there was a visual novel for Steins;Gate until around 2023, and I always wanted to play it just to see how different it was from the anime adaptation. And now that it's 2026 now I was finally able to buy the game and play it. The visual novel is just as great as the anime adaptation if not, better of course because its the original source material. The anime does it justice but the anime adaptation cuts a lot to keep the pacing running well as a 24 episode anime it does the job great. While the original source material of course has all the content and no cut scenes. I'm glad I was able to experience Steins;Gate again and get emotional just as i did with the anime adaptation 4 years ago. This is a masterpiece of a story, watching it for the first time and reading it finally now, Steins;Gate is one of a kind. A slow-burn story that escalates very quickly and becomes intense. If you love science, Sc-fi theme, and love time travel this visual novel is amazing. Read the visual novel and decide if you want to experience it again by watching the anime adaptation. Kurisu is best girl El. Psy. Kongroo.
