Steins;Gate 0 - PlayStation 4

THERE WAS NO SUCH UPDATE/PATCH THAT ERASED SAVES AND/OR CORRUPTED YOUR SYSTEM DATA.Now that that lie in the other review is out of the way--I don't write many reviews on Amazon, but this game has been tainted by a very unfair and untrue 1 star rating.Going into this game you need to know that this will be much more like the second half of S;G than the first half. The slice of life stuff is there, but there's definitely an underlying feeling of urgency, pressure, and depression throughout. This is a much darker story than the first visual novel and that's definitely a main point one should know before delving into this whole thing. Ive been through almost all the routes so far and they all have their incredibly emotional moments--as did the first--but this one even more so.The music is LOVELY. Takeshi Abo doing a great job yet again, especially with his piano renditions--which has become quite the staple thing for the composer of Infinity Series fame. The composer composed the songs after reading through the story--fitting the emotions he received from his experience in the music and you can definitely feel that.As for route choices and progression, yes the game is based on Answering or Ignoring calls. It plays a big part of the story with the thing you're answering or ignoring. It's a major plot point and it doesn't take very long to understand the correct times to do so or what it would lead to if you DO do so. It's a much smoother experience in my opinion than randomly guessing in the first game which response to pick in the text messages. You DO have RINE messages in this one--but they're solely for responding to the characters in the way you want and don't change the path you're on.This is an experience for a heavy Steins;Gate fan and it's an incredible followup to the first game. Highly highly recommended.

Once I finished the anime of Steins;Gate and heard that the sequal, Steins;Gate 0 was also getting an anime adaption, I had to pick this game up!This is a really well done visual novel with great art, voice actors, etc. I haven't played many visual novel games but this is definitely the most well done one I have played.The story is a great continuation of the original where Okarin essentially stays in the original world line and develops an anxiety disorder. He really grows and develops as a character, and the new characters are also really cool.All I can really say is if you liked the original Steins:Gate anime or visual novel, you'll love this just as much or more. And knowing that this is being adapted into an anime soon makes the experience that much better! I've never gotten this into a visual novel before!

When this was first announced I liked the concept but didn't know how they could top the original Steins;Gate. Well they absolutely did, if you loved the original Steins;Gate then you will love 0. It is a darker and much more emotional adventure. Poor Okabe ;(

This is a sequel to the original Steins Gate game but instead of continuing the story following the true ending, it branches off of a story from one of the alternate endings of that game. Steins Gate 0 doesn't quite hold to the original's sense of wonder and pitch perfect storytelling, which were both flawless, but it's still a joy to play. There are multiple endings again so make sure you get them all. Recursive Mother Goose is by far my favorite of all the endings this time around.

The original steins gate is probably the best science fiction story involving time travel ever written. If you like visual novels or just reading science fiction then I couldn't recommend this and its predecessor more highly. This takes place during the events for the first game close to the events of the true ending and describes the motivations for reaching steins gate and moving toward the new world line, is the best way I can describe it, but I javemt finished this yet.

Before you play this game, play the original Stiens;Gate for PS3, VITA or PC. If you can't get ahold of a copy, at least watch the anime adaption.This is a VISUAL NOVEL. If you don't like to read for hours with very little to no gameplay, this is not a game for you.Now that we got the unenlightened out of the way...This game is absolutely enthralling. It will keep you glued to you screen for hours with twist after twist, revelation after revelation. This is a darker turn from the original, and rightly so. This is a new timeline in which Okabe failed his mission.The art is amazing, even better than the original. The whole interface is more refined and just has a better feel than the original.The sound design is great and the Japanese voice acting is top notch. The music is also great, with some standouts like "Gate of Steiner".The story is a rollercoaster of emotions and I cannot recommended enough. It is based off a three part light novel with some new additions to the story. If you enjoyed the original, just buy it. You will not be disappointed.

This was a great, emotional story, however, it was incomplete. There were a lot of things that were not explained in the Visual Novel and require reading of additional material to find answers. Much of that material is not translated, so the best you will get is a synopsis on the internet. Plot causation in the original Steins;Gate was much easier to understand. It is inadvisable to read this Visual Novel without having read the first, or at least having watched the original anime.

But the cover art makes everyone look like strung out junkies.

This is a visual novel, this does not offer much game-play, the only time where you are in control are few but the difference of each action is immense.This is a continuation of the Steins;Gate VN, so if you don't know the story from that then I highly suggest you to play that and/or watch the anime first.In the beginning Okabe Rintaro failed to save Makise Kurisu's life and he gave up. He spent the next few months as a bee-itch, it's your job to bring Houoin Kyouma back!I'm fairly new in VNs but getting all the endings and the Platinum trophy are fairly easy, it took me over 30 hours to complete it. It might take you less if you know what you're doing.------------------------------------------------------------It's me, absolutely do not lose to the organization, well then, I wish you luck!El. Psy. Congroo.

Excellent game. Not as good as the original, but excellent nonetheless. The translation is generally very good, with only a few minor mistakes.The beginning of this game is the end of the original game, so you should play that first. The original had a 24 episode anime adaptation that covered one of the six endings from the VN. The "true" (best) ending is the one that was covered, so you should just watch it if you just want to find out what happened in the canon story line and don't mind missing the other 5 endings.

Maravillado con esta siguinte entrega de steins;gate.Posiblemente se piensa que ya no podria ser tan emocianante como el primero ya que ya se manejo todo lo de la maquina del tiempo, pero no es así las historia esta increible y muy bien pensada.Son cinco finales (incluyendo el final verdadero y el final malo) y todos muy emocionantes.Si eres fan de steins;gate no dudes en comprar este juego vale la pena cada centavo (aunque ya el dolar este mas caro :'v )

One of those games that should be played after completing its prequel.Compared to the original, Steins;Gate Zero offers a darker and more emotional story, which also ties in very nicely to the original game. Highly recommended if you enjoyed reading Steins;Gate.This Visual Novel can only be played with Japanese voiceovers with English texts/subtitles.

Got it faster than it was supposed. Everything is there and the game's great.
