Dropping this review because seeing a mastahpiece like Steins Gate without a 5-star rating was disgusting to behold.
Seriously, this game is a fuckin' mastahpiece, and it's because every aspect of this game is either brilliantly executed, or just flat-out solid.
The plot is extremely interesting because it takes a concept like time travel, which I feel has never been properly executed in anime, and does it justice, It touches on the physics and the consequences that being able to travel through time would entail.
The characters are unforgettable, and the music, while not necessarily bangers, sets the mood very well. When it comes to being a good visual novel, this game has those bases covered.
What I love the most about this game is how educational it was and how it explored the idea that being able to go back in time can corrupt an individual.
Solid-ass game and I highly recommend playing it, despite the lack of sexual content and all that. If you can't be bothered to play the VN, try giving the anime a go; its got a sub and a dub!
