Not the strongest game in the trilogy, arguably the worst. A couple plot lines just left out entirely, but the vast majority of the major plot points have been covered and is overall an enjoyable and satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Except for Eric. All my homies hate Eric.

This is the third installment of the Zero Escape series, known for its intense suspense and unique escape room puzzles. While it may have a few rough edges compared to its predecessors, it still provides a thrilling and satisfying finale to the series.

I played this game for hours in my pirated 3DS back in 2016. Kotaro Uchikoshi it's one hell of storyteller, and this game deserves to be played on a big screen. I am totally loving the English dub and will stick to it forever, bought the game to beat it again and leave a positive review. Imagine watching a 12H movie with so many twists and turns, brutal. Thanks to this game I finally understand that ZERO'S MOTIVES ARE VERY COMPLEX.

Honestly quite enjoyed the game, it had me frustrated at times trying to figure out codes and putting things together but finishing each quest was relieving and made me more interested in trying to understand what was going on alongside the characters. This game brings to light ideas and theories that are likely unknown to different communities by turning it into something fun, I've never enjoyed learning about all the different philosophies and concepts present in this game and I'll enjoy looking more into it now that I know about them. I would recommend this game to anyone who has some time to play for a few hours here and there because if you're a bit on the clueless side like me then it may take a while but I feel that the outcome is worth it and really makes you question your decisions and beliefs you had throughout playing.

This game is somehow both the worst and the best of the trilogy The low budget 3d animations and the bad english voice direction contrast with the absolutely insane story that reaches so far in plot contrivances it is completely impossible to explain to anyone what the game is about. The puzzle rooms are not that interesting compared to the previous games and they start appearing fairly late but they're still enjoyable enough. Despite how chaotic this game is overall i would 100% recommend it to people who played the first two entries. ZTD is my son, he has every disease, and i love him
