Well I loved the first entry and I can say the second surpasses what I liked about one and improves on most. The story takes place on the bad ending of Steins Gate and you are stuck in a timeline that you didn't save a friend. Now I will say endings aren't triggered by text anymore but a differen't way by choosing to talk to a certain character or not and pathways open in this style rather than just texted. Speaking of text, The phone and story text look better and don't just run off like the pervious title which is a great thing. Artwork is sharper and the voice acting is great though I wish the cast who did the anime could have done it as well but hey.
The story does take quite a bit to get started but never felt the shock like I did in the first but the story is still just as strong and yes Mayrui still goes tutturu quite a bit. Okabe though is a great character and really changes in the title from the last. He feels broken and giving up on everything compared to how he proclaimed to be an evil scientist and getting to see Mayuri's friends instead of seeing their names just mentioned was a great touch. I want to say more but it would spoil the last game and you NEED to play the first to even know what the story is about. New characters like Maho is great even though the hairstyle looks like it was from Dragonball Z but she is a great character.
The music is just as good and yes the words n blue return when a new word is said and it still as the humor but this is a darker tale than the first but a must play/read. Steins Gate has been held a "one of the visual novels to play" and 0 still makes it hold onto that. One of my 2016 titles that I waited on and well worth the wait.
Score 10 Out Of 10
+ Improved visuals and Phone use
Still has a strong story
New characters are great and don't feel just put in
- The doctor looks like a mannquinn doll from a clothes store.
