[@EriesAston]

Not many people are talking about this, it's basically a hidden gem right now

[@mcoupe69]

Glad I randomly decided to pick up the collectors edition it’s so great :) I didn’t even really play dangonronpa too much but I’m still a fan

[@z1ppys]

even now its still very much a hidden game :(

[@SwedePotato314]

This game did NOT get the hype it deserved.

[@leasting]

I've had my eye on this game since it was announced because it looked so weird and cool. Great to know it actually lives up to that! I could never get into Danganronpa personally (hard for me to get into games were most of the cast gets killed off...) and this seems way more my speed! Thanks for the excellent review!

[@Dwight1295]

It’s certainly on my wanted list. the art looks very stunning and the story seems very interesting compared to danganronpa

[@krhshurdler10]

Just waiting for my CE to come in tomorrow. Loved Danganronpa and actually finished the first in two days, which says a lot as I have a kid. Rare that I can fully enjoy a game in one or two sittings.

[@NachtKaiser666]

I think the bigger reason why this game isn't talked about more is that it wasn't advertised that much and is a Switch exclusive for the time being. I've had an eye on it once it was announced, but I can't play it at the moment, so I'm really hoping it gets ported down the line. I own the entire Danganronpa series on my PS4 (including the castle underrated Ultra Despair Girls) so this isn't just a diss on this new title, I really want to play this spiritual (hah!) successor!

[@SecPlate]

This may be my sleeper game of the year. I’m waiting for my copy from Play Asia - so I unfortunately haven’t played it. But I love the art palette and character designs. As always, great review! Glad I discovered your channel in the past year. Keep it up!

[@TimoNaaro]

like really small thing but I really enjoy how those portraits near dialogue box are actually shots from the game. Or atleast at some point usually at end of sentence the character actually displays that goofy face. In many anime visual novels those portraists are totally different than what happens in the game with the characters. So I like it that there is actually some effort put into this and they dont make weird faces just for the hell of it. Really grounds me to the game somehow.

[@Granblue1408]

Didn’t even realise this was out yet?! Thanks for the tip and, as usual, great review. Just picked up my copy! 😊

[@DaakkuuYRS]

Beat this game a few hours ago. I didn't know about the game before seeing at the stores, so I picked it up with knowing nothing. ..This game is masterpiece. I don't how they did it, but somehow a game I knew nothing about and bought it blindly became 10/10 game. The story, characters, puzzles, and gameplay are perfect.

[@MissBubbles]

I finally bought the game because of your review. Been hesitant about it for a month before release haha.

[@n3r0n3]

Playing it right now. I am a big Spike Chunsoft fan, Ultra Despair Girls being, in terms of story and writing, probably my fav game on ps4/Vita. Danganronpa, especially the tropical 2nd chapter, Zenki Zero.. AI the omnium files.. I mean everything they do is so remarkable, adult and thought provoking! After all they are the ones that invented visual novels back in the day.

[@spiritdancer36]

Great review! I was planning on getting it at some point but your review definitely solidified that choice.

[@lindseydurden3082]

Wahoo it made the cut! Thanks for doing the review!

[@SwedePotato314]

I love this game!! I haven’t finished quite yet but it’s super underrated! I bought it on release but kept putting it off for some reason and I totally regret it now. It’s been a lot of fun. It’s funny, it’s self aware and it’s entertaining as hell. It’s just a great gaming experience.

[@BacklogBattle]

I'm glad you're enjoying this one! It's a bit slow in certain parts, but I think it's actually really well done despite those sections!

[@femtrooper]

Great review, Alex! I think I'm going to have to pick this up. I'm a huge fan of Danganronpa and I was going to get this day one...but then I got hesitant because I SUCK at puzzle games so I ended up delaying buying it... I think I'm going to get it now. The internet can always get me out of any sticky situation!

[@phil_zupra_b5880]

I just finished Danganronpa 1 (which i had on my backlog for over a year) and im downloading 2 right now. So im definitely going to pick up Raincoat tomorrow ^^

[@alterego5550]

Helleva job covering this first off. Second I'm not a big fan of detective games but this looks unique for sure an I might grab it thanks to this review 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@Olphas]

I'm really looking forward to this. I should be able to start it sometime in the coming days.

[@BacklogBattle]

It’s pretty goooood!

[@RwnEsper]

I was going to buy this for the art alone; it being an actually GOOD game is enough to push it to the front of the line.

[@JamesBantz]

I’m so excited to come home from vacation this should be waiting for me at GameStop. I can play this and FF16 :)

[@deathnotelover11]

Same, I just finished FF16. Now I can play this one, great year for RPGs :)

[@bio2189]

Definitely getting this at some point, really enjoyed the Danganronpa games when I played them all in 2019. Too many games to play now including a big backlog but once this goes on sale and I have time, excited to check it out

[@markh5572]

Love danganronpa and somnium files. Looking forward to this one

[@danwoods8195]

future cult classic had to buy collectors edition. Thanks BB.

[@joeypeat]

I've preordered the collector's edition and have yet to receive my copy from Amazon. I'm not really into this type of genre, but every new game I've tried in the past year (Persona, The Legend of Heroes) I absolutely loved! I had a gut feeling when I first saw the trailer to this, I might actually like it. The previews/reviews I've been seeing also helps! Can't wait to get started... whenever it arrives. :/

[@xDatKid16x]

Look up inescApable, and Decapolice if you haven't already.

[@evrys3221]

I loved this game! I hope they make more.

[@nateralus]

Hope it gets a PlayStation release!

[@RanposPowderedDonuts]

I think imma buy it soon. The style rinds me a lot of ultra despair girls and the story also seems interesting.

[@thaiboypsp3000]

Just got CE from Amazon and I’m excited to open and play it…once I’m done with other games 😂

[@Sheamu5]

But can I play as a drunk, superstar, hobocop of the apocalypse?

[@Road_to_Dawn]

I finished Rain Code about a week ago and absolutely loved it. I’ve been a fan of Danganronpa since the first game got localized on the Vita, so it’s no small thing when I say that I think Rain Code may actually be better than Danganronpa, and when it gets a sequel, that’s probably going to bring it up even higher in my eyes. Each of the cases are more disconnected than the chapters of the Danganronpa games - closer to Ace Attorney in that way, but also like Ace Attorney, there’s a connecting through line that leads to a massive and satisfying payoff in the final chapter. And what a final chapter it is, that ending was incredible! Like I said, completely loved Rain Code, and I’m incredibly hyped to see a likely sequel at some point.

[@ddkixk]

I’m looking forward to playing rain code but they delayed limited edition by 2 weeks. I think mines is coming tomorrow but we’ll see, great video by the way as always.

[@DeTintasyPixeles]

This game Is incredible

[@320gb]

I was already sold on this game after I beat Zelda, but I think this review just sold me even harder wtf

[@eliotwildermann]

Welp this seems interesting and ur selling me on it

[@stylo600]

picking it up tomorrow for sure

[@martenhc]

Hey! excuse my ignorance, but when you put that animation of the portraits at the end.. are those your current top games?

[@BacklogBattle]

It only happens when I review a game that’s worth adding to it! The pinned video on my channel explains how it all works!

[@martenhc]

@@BacklogBattle Ah cool, will check that one out. Thanks! :)

[@raitoiro]

It looks cool and I love Danganronpa, but I really wish it was on more than the switch. I would rather play it on the Deck, and I really don't trust Nintendo to keep maintaining the switch eshop for too long.

[@Bowflex2480]

i only got to play a little bit of raincode thanks to a certain beast of a game. But i enjoyed what i played and cant wait to go back!

[@PatKerleyVA]

Well another game to be added to the backlog!

[@lexnoil]

It's on my list. Just have to get it next payday.

[@MrValgard]

just finished it, it's masterpiece writing on so many levels

[@SamM_Scot]

Fantastic game and I want a sequel badly now :-)

[@BacklogBattle]

It was so good!

[@SamM_Scot]

@@BacklogBattle Without any real spoilers, the touching poignant ending really shook me in best possible way :-)

[@BacklogBattle]

@@SamM_Scot definitely proof that the writing’s really improved! Such a great finale!

[@idannyhtv]

RainCode x Bungo Stray Dogs

[@captainthunderbolt7541]

I didn't play Danganronpa because death game plotlines are really repetitive and played out.

[@BacklogBattle]

Maybe it’s just not the right time for you

[@MrSupersmash93]

Oh yeah I got a shot out. Also sorry

[@BacklogBattle]

All in good fun 😁! Thank you for your comment!

[@ThatGuyWhoComments1]

I'm just sad it's switch exclusive. Oh wells.

[@filipborch-solem1354]

Don't like the 3d models. Anime game devs just suck at animating for some reason. Reminds me of early 3d graphics on the ps1/2.

[@karlo9572]

Just finished it today meh. Horrible ending
