Unlike the first two games, it's only available for Windows, and is a bit of a pain to run on Linux. No big deal, I decided to boot into Windows for this occasion, the demo is only 1-2 hours long, after all. *But even playing on Windows, the PC port sucks!*
a bit of a pain to run on Linux
The first thing I noticed is that the starting cutscene is really laggy - when the audio is done playing, the video is stuck 20 seconds behind. I'm not the only one having this issue and it's not just because of bad hardware. The rest of the game is weirdly laggy, too. Visually, there's a lot more going on compared to Danganronpa 1 & 2, but not enough to decrease performance this badly, I'd imagine.
I'm not the only one having this issue
I played with a mouse and keyboard but the game thinks I'm using a gamepad, and gives all of its tutorials using gamepad controls. On top of that, the keyboard controls are different from Danganronpa 2, so I was very confused. By the end of the demo I still couldn't figure out how to fast-forward the trial.
Sometimes the mouse button got stuck and the game skipped dialogue before I could read it.
The "plot" in the demo is boring and ends very abruptly. What's worse is that I don't even care how the stupid trial ends, I'm just disappointed that they didn't make a proper ending.
Maybe this is just a tech demo to showcase the new graphics? If so, that's cool, but I hope they optimized the game for the full release. *I'll reiterate that all of this is happening on Windows* and is not Linux's fault.
The characters and graphics are cool and the demo is a little bit intriguing, but ultimately very frustrating, *5/10. Please tell me that the full version is better than this!* It's more expensive compared to 1 & 2, so I will wait for a sale, and then probably play it on Linux.
