It's just OK. Like maybe a 6/10. It really makes me wish there was a neutral review option. I mean, there is some good stuff here like full voice acting in both Japanese and English from the original cast. Even some beautiful art of the characters in a visual novel format that includes an occasional playable chibi section. But I've got quite a few grievances in my opinion that don't make it anyway near worth full price. For starters, I want to talk about how insulting it is that they censor and show any amount of gore off screen. Re:Zero's target audience is not children and it never will be, so what purpose did that decision serve? There's then the chibi sections; for what they are, they are kind of cute and add more variety to gameplay. But they were just kind of boring (mainly having you talking to characters by walking back and forth between them) and too few of them to even really matter. Then there's the entire premise of the game, a retelling of the 3rd arc from the show. It just felt really lazy that they didn't create a new story line, consequently making it easy to figure out who the impostor is. I'd only really get this if it's on sale and you're a huge Re:Zero fan starving for more content like myself. Which is kind of disappointing to say because I feel like there's a lot of potential with Re:Zero games and the game here in general.

Here are my thoughts on this VN as a massive Re;Zero fan. Pros: + The strongest aspect for this VN is definitely it's cast of well established characters. The interaction they have is very enjoyable and fun. The characters's dialogue felt very faithful and natural most of the times. It was especially fun to see more screentime and moments for the side characters namely Al, Blue Haired anime girl, Ram, Priscilla and Reinhard. + Emilia Best Girl + I played on JP audio with EN Subs, the voice acting is as good as the anime and the EN Subs is decent. Some parts of the Sub would irritate me like how Subaru calls Emilia-tan, Mili and some other parts otherwise it doesn't hurt the experience. + The main plot is decent. Some parts for me felt a bit draggy and just had too much dialogue instead of visual storytelling. The mystery was here and there, it was fairly obvious at some point of the story and the delivery for it was alright. The new characters for me were half and half, I enjoyed some of them (Tiga, Melty) and wouldn't mind seeing them in the future in the anime but Sakura and Wolf, they certainly lack the witches/villain aura that the anime has. Cons: - The VN's soundtracks is just bad. There's honestly nothing to say about them. They're so boring and uninspiring compare to the anime. They should have just taken the anime's OSTs and it'd be so much better. It doesn't help the fact there's a limited amount of soundtracks as well, so you're just gonna hear the same soundtrack loop over & over. - The visuals & CGs aspect for this VN is incredibly lackluster and boring. I haven't played that much VN so I can't judge that much but IMO, the visuals, CGs and scenes aren't very good and are lacking a lot. The deaths and the fight scenes heavily relies on the dialogue to show off what's happening and the visuals leaves a lot to be desired. - The 3D aspect of the VN and it's 3D "gameplay" is weird. It isn't exactly well animated, it's slow, not fun and it would've been better if they just stayed 2D. There were times in the VN where the 3D chibi-like characters for me would ruin the battle scenes and moments because of how goofy they were animated and look. The VN is definitely fun and worth playing for Re:Zero fans but only at heavily discounted price.

Really good, i cant really say if it would be a good game without having watched the anime, but as a anime fan it was a really great experience, really good presentation as well, gameplay was simple as it should in such games and fun enough. Story wise it could very well have been part of the Novels, truly felt like OVA material.

This was honestly a surprise to find on Steam. I love Re:ZERO and I would call it my favorite anime, so how does this stack up. For a Re:ZERO fan, it's amazing, but for a light novel fan, it's a bit of a disappointment. The thing is that this game has so many cool things and has a neat concept, but on the other hand, is pretty padded in some areas. The new characters are all great and even though it was predictable, it was still really fun. The voice acting is also really impressive! Walking around the Royal Capital, and learning about the royal candidates was great! My biggest issue is honestly that there could have been more variance in the art and I felt some deaths were more "PG-13" when it would have been great to read something really horrible. Rem also seems a bit... different, almost like she was flanderized completely! The game also had 3 really long endings, and then a really short one. I wish this game was about 3 hours shorter. That being said, the concept of loops and how some things were done were really interesting. It would be great to see a Re:ZERO game with thousands of branching paths using a system like this, and more player choices! I would give this an 8.40/10!
