Forums - Gaming Discussion - Steins;Gate, the visual novel is on sale.

I want to buy it someday, I've heard good things about it. Maybe I'll get it on the Switch, it would be great to get more visual novels on the system, the console seems very fitting to that genre.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Looks interesting, where do I buy 20 hours to play it though...

Cut back on the VR.



Nah. Go buy Higurashi instead!

I remember originally planning on buying this on the PS3, I never did end up doing that, though. I'll have to get to the series one day.

Maybe I'll buy it just because it is localized. I have xbox360 limited edition which is Japanese only.

...I assume this will get localized, of course. Also, who knows if it will come to PC.

Honestly, I wouldn't.

The original Steins;Gate, from 2009, is a beautiful game that starts slow but once it gets going never lets up.

The sequel Steins;Gate 0, from 2015, has some good ideas but feels bloated and stuffed with filler which makes the whole experience more boring.

I honestly don't relaly see what they can add to Steins;Gate that will make it objectively better, other than filler stuff like they filled 0 with.

If anyone's interested, I wrote a review of the original here:
