Absolutely magnificent. This game doesn’t just excel in one area; it delivers on every single level. The story is beautifully written and deeply engaging. The soundtrack is breathtaking. The art direction is sublime, constantly immersing you in a world that masterfully blends dreams and nightmares. A true gaming must-play.

Exactly the same as the last game in terms of the main story, but brings about enough optional stories and features that expand nicely on the world. if you want my opinion on the world, read my review on the og

Yep, it's an awesome VN. The twists and surprises might not be totally groundbreaking if you've played a lot of games in the genre, but it uses such a smart way to present the story. The execution is really clever and makes it completely worth playing.

This game is bested by the superior visual novel [em dash] ; Team Fortress 2 dating sim.

The game is cool, it’s good for people who haven’t seen many great plot twists. In my opinion, it’s better to play the game that inspired that feature, called Undertale.

Doki Doki is a game that has captured the hearts of millions and many consider it one of the benchmarks of the visual novel genre. Personally, the game left a mixed impression on me. I will definitely note the striking visuals and an excellent soundtrack, as well as the atmosphere at first. Of course, you don’t notice how relaxing it is, which subsequently intensifies the feeling of horror. But there are nuances that, for me personally, make the game no more than average: not particularly strong immersion compared to Tonto. The game doesn’t have time to create a full impression of reality and immersion, and the lack of even minimal variability after choosing between Natsuki and Yuri is also frustrating. It’s obvious that the authors were inspired by Tonto and were able to create something remotely similar. I also want to note the interesting gameplay in the form of writing poetry. A rather captivating process. Overall, for me personally, the game is quite average, but I don’t regret the time and money spent, but I’m not particularly delighted either.

I’m normally not the biggest fan of many visual novels, but the ones that do it right like DDLC tell incredible story’s. The game does have the case of a slow beginning, but it does it well and gets you familiar and comfortable with the characters before the game starts getting into the real meat of the story. Also Sayori is best girl and I’ll protect her with my life.

Unique. Starts out cute and fun, quickly turns into feeling like something is not right. I played through it a few times to get the ending I was hoping for. Play through it once, THEN look up a guide on how to get the perfect ending.

I recently platinium it because it was free on ps plus and i remembered it from videos from like 6 years i think and i love it even tough i knew the story. The mini stories were cool and cute i would say. If you don't know this game and don't necessarely hates horror games than you should try it (and the story is not very long abt 6 hours)

I was forced to play this game because my girlfriend demanded it and I must say that I expected worse. While the game has an overall mediocre and boring second half, the build to a certain point is actually pretty good. If you want to try something unique, give this game a try. But do not set your expectations too high.

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! is exceptional. It is an additional version of the original game which generally splendid. As a Psychological Horror, it truly digs in human nature to scare them. The characters are also presentative and well-written. The incredible amounts of details are account for it blown up in the community. Highly Recommended

Game worth playing just for that one particular moment/events,even though the beginning is boring and slow(it felt different if you slowly read it all until that one*moment*rather than skip the conversation),the developer try to do that *moment*again in the next chapter but it only work once,and only once ever thats why theres no sequel,a must play but only if you dont spoil yourself already and going in blind without knowing anything at all

After 100%ing this horror game disguised as a visual novel, I can comfortably say that it's a great and unique experience compared to every other horror game currently on the market. While you need to play on PC to really feel immersed, the story is split between two different narratives. The first is the player, or MC, joining a literature club and choosing a girl you want to "fall in love" with, while slowly realising that something unusual is happening. The second is Monika, who realises that she is the only person that knows she lives inside a game, and that MC is the only person that understands her and is real, leading to the events of the game. The artwork of the backgrounds and the characters are good, with issues with the setting of the game being addressed in series with humorous intent. The additional content mostly explains the lore of the game, both in-universe and the creation that led to Monika and the other characters. These also come with new beautiful soundtracks and artwork, adding a reward to taking a deeper look at the game. Overall, a great experience that is full of surprises and an enjoyable experience all around, would recommend.

Doki Doki LiteratureClub Plus! es una novela visual con una historia muy original y dferente, con algunos giros muy buenos. Sin embargo, a pesar de ser uno de mis géneros favoritos, para lo corto que es se me ha hecho pesado. Esto sinceramente creo que se debe a las altas expectativas que llevaba, y siendo más específicos, no he llegado a terminar de conectar con ningún personaje ni con la trama en sí misma, por lo que siendo el género que es, es un problema. Insisto que esto es una valoración personal, y que tiene nuchas virtudes, pero en mi caso al no haber conectado, me ha decepcionado. Si te gustan las novelas visuales, es muy recomendable vivir la experiencia única que ofrece, pero dejad de lado las expectaticas, ya que a pesar de sus virtudes, siendo justos, creo quela fama de este juego es excesiva.

Doki Doki es sorprendente, quizá demasiado corto y te obliga a rejugar varias veces los mismos episodios para poder ver otro final, el cual a mi para todo lo que supone me ha decepcionado un poco. No obstante es una buena novela visual con tintes dramáticos y recomendada.

Now, i know what you may be thinking. "Why buy this game when i can have it for free?" I asked the same question when i bought the game originally... and now i have over 180 hours just by messing around in the menus xd. For the new stuff that was added, i like the way they went, especially with the Side Stories. Makes one understand all the characters' unique personality quirks, and the friendship between all of them is just beautiful to see (in my own, humble, f***ed up opinion). Although i understand the people who wouldn't buy it, i would seriously recommend supporting Team Salvato for the story and game they have provided us, and i'm so happy that this is the VN that was my gateway to other VNs, cuz to be honest, there is no better one to start with (again, imo).

This game does a lot right, I love the regular dating sim game play to start off with then it slowly delves into insanity with its characters. All character writing and foreshadowing was done really well and other than the dramatic exaggeration they're all realistic. The writers including the fact that this is a video game and using it to their advantage really enhances the experience into an unforgettable game.

Honestly, I think it's a game that needs to be contextualized. I played it for the first time on NIntendo Switch, many years after it was first released on PC. Doki Doki is a game that is meant to be played on PC, since its greatest strength and, what makes it so special for so many people, ONLY makes sense if you're playing it on PC (Obviously I'm not going to spoiler). For me it was a bit disappointing, since the big plot-twist that takes place in the story comes to be something I've already seen many other times in other games and it' s not a surprise. Although I understand that in the past it was very surprising and original for many people. That's why I think it has to be contextualized.

This game is essentially the original game, with bonus content. Despite that, I just like the original more. I think you need to play it on the computer to get the feel that was intended.

I made the mistake buying this game after it was so hyped on the internet. I usually don't play visual novels, and thought i should give this a chance anyway. This is NOT a video game, because most of the time you click through a badly written story, with annoying music in the background. After a 30 minutes i was completly bored by it, and just didnt care anymore. I can't believ this 'game' got such high ratings. I say avoid this game

For what is a technically simple game, this is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. It made me experience feelings I never thought possible from a video game. If you like this type of genre, or are looking for a one of a kind gaming experience, this is a must. Unfortunately I can't talk about the best part of the game because it's one of those where the less you know the better.

First developing quite a notorious reputation as a free title, DDLC has finally made its disturbing way to Switch… and with a few extra bits of content to boot, though they’re just niceties and don’t really move the needle much. To be clear, the warnings shown before you play aren’t to be taken lightly, and this game should be avoided by people who aren’t quite mature or those with depression or mental health problems as this is a title that will very likely trigger you in a serious way. All of that said, while in terms of pacing it isn’t a perfect game it’s also quite unsettling and will leave you with quite a bit to reflect on. That would include personal relationships, the mental health issues that can be around you beneath the surface, and certainly traditional romance games that DDLC starts out in the vein of but then takes an extremely hard and disturbing turn… or two, or three from. As someone who is steadily critical of semi-interactive visual novels you’d have to take this statement with a grain of salt, but by a fair margin this is the most compelling game associated with this genre I’ve ever seen, and its themes, imagery, and characters have a tendency to stick with you, pretty well no matter what specific paths you may choose. You’ll need to be sure to be patient, as signs of trouble don’t appear until maybe an hour in and it’ll take being over 90 minutes in before the rails fall off… but there’ll be no mistaking the point of no return and when it all goes to hell. It is absolutely not an experience appropriate for everyone but, for anyone who shouldn’t be avoiding it for various reasons stated above, I absolutely recommend it if you want a shock to your system and likely something to think about. ****/2021/07/mini-reviews-july-2nd-edition-nintendo.html

Este juego es increíble, conmovedor, y todos deberían jugarlo alguna vez. Claro, es difícil que se experimente la sorpresa y plot twist, teniendo ya unos años desde su primera aparición. Sin embargo, apenas supe que tendría versión de paga, lo compré para apoyar al creador. Es un juegazo, y sin embargo, no considero que sea perfecto en las versiones de consola. A l o que me refiero es que, obviando spoilers, el juego fue HECHO para jugarse en computador. Y la misma sensación no se transmite si en consola hay una pseudo máquina virtual al iniciar el juego. Claro, se agradece el contenido extra, realmente es hermoso ver las historias previas a lo ya establecido en el juego. Sin embargo, el que haya nula interacción del jugador (sea por narrativa o no) se me hace algo aburrido, y decepcionante. Aún no estoy seguro si el juego en consola cuenta con contenido posterior a la historia principal, pero siendo honesto, ESO es lo que desearía de Doki Doki. Saber qué pasa después, qué ocurre con los personajes. Eso es lo que todos los fans se han preguntado por 3 años, y hasta han hecho mods en computador para satisfacer ese deseo.

A force de jouer, A force d'être programmer, A rejouer sans cesse les mêmes jeux copiés A un moment, on fini par être cerné, comme emprisonné On se reconnait, l'expérience utilisateur proposé reste familière, rassurante et promet de nous bercer MAIS. RIEN. NE. DURE. JAMAIS Doki Doki Literature Club tente de vous amadouer il vous prend la main, chaleureuse et pleine de bonté il vous séduit, avec charisme, et un charme familier il vous désarme, vous promet une aventure passionnée il vous murmure à l'oreille, des mélodies sereines, belles, qui amène un rideau noir sur l'écran de la tv. et vous y croyez, jusqu'à qu'il vous arrache le coeur, le balance au porc, ramasse leur merdes et comme un arnaqueur, vous place ça à l'endroit où vous sentiez votre chaleur. Continuellement, continuellement, continuellement, continuellement, continuellement, continuellement. Un Visual Novel "classique", avec des personnages typiques voir clichés mais qui ne sont pas utilisé pour dénoncer. De beaux visuels, et de jolies musiques qui font de ce jeu une de mes meilleures expériences vidéoludiques. *SPOIL ICI* En visual novel classique, dont on détourne trop souvent le terme pour parler de dating sim, le gameplay est limité, voir inexistant. C'est la partie qui blesse le plus car moins intéressante, et pourtant on simule un programme, on peut supprimer des fichiers, on sélectionne des mots pour faire de poèmes, on nous fait croire à un système de route d'héroïnes, mais ceci est une illusion, tout comme l'espoir de ken Sayori alors que le jeu est clairement classé Mature. Alors forcément la note non parfaite. L'énigme où on doit accélerer le temps reste un des meilleurs pires moments du jeu. Les illusions sont le point fort du jeu, est c'est grâce à toute la partie déraillante, glitchy, programme défectueux qu'il reste effrayant, car imprédictible. Ma première réaction face au suicide de Sayori ce fut d'aller voir à quoi je ressemble dans la glace, voir mes émotions. Tout cela marche très bien, et ne s'épuise pas vu que le jeu est très court. C'est un service continuel qui peut fatiguer certains joueurs, qui ne sont pas affecté par le brisage du 4ème mur. J'ai était surpris par son efficacité, et pourtant je suis difficile sur ce qui me fait peur. Le jeu parle de sujets taboo, qui sont trop peu traités dans le jeu vidéo (suicide, scarification, problèmes mentaux, abus de confiance, obsession dangereuse...), mais ces sujets sont survolés et je trouve ca vraiment dommage de ne pas avoir essayer, c'est un filon d'or laissé à l'abandon. Il y a bien des moments d'ouverture où Sayori nous parle de sa déprime, mais c'est trop rare dans le jeu. J'aurais aimé pouvoir choisir mon héroïne après la route commune, et voir ce que cache chacune d'elle. Le jeu est vraiment court, et malgré les défauts que j'ai cité, c'est quand même une folie à vivre, comme un bad trip conscient et quasi sans danger, il faut pouvoir apprécier le mal dans certains moments. Le masochisme c'est comme le sucre. Chaque joueur devrait laisser sa chance à ce monstre, recommandez ce jeu au plus de monde possible dans la limite de la légalité.

The first words that will run through your mind after the story is finished will be "What the hell" and that in the most positive way. Nothing will prepare what will happen in this visual novel. Do yourself a favor and read nothing about it when you want to buy it.

I went into this game knowing that something might go wrong since it's labelled as a "horror game". But nothing could have prepared me for what I faced in the game's final Acts. Highly recommended, even if you aren't a fan of visual novel style games (like myself)

Doki Doki Literatue Club Plus This game is weird yall Doki Doki Literature club is a 4 hour long narrative based gamewhere you play as yourself.. these 4 girls ar obsessed with you, youre the only boy in their literature club and you have to juggle their jealosy.. Wiriting poems by picking 20 words from a list that you think a certain girl will like to make them like you even more… and then things get weird.. no spoilers, but think portal, things will just randomly be like oh, what game am I laying, and this second half is the better part of the game.. but in general I just didn’t find the story or characters to be that compelling, im glad I went through this ride to see what all the fuss was a about, it really is a game worth playing, but I didn’t care enough about the characters for the twists to really hit me as much as t should have.. which I feel is due to the repetitive nature of the story, with no real choices to make me feel like I was pushing the story towards any sort of direction, I was just reading and reading and reading, I like cute stuff, I like deep stuff, It’s the same story different day, bpick 20 new words, and I just couldntcare… which kinda left the 6 side stories in the plus version vs the main version to not really be wort hit for me in particular, for that reason id suggest just playing the main game for free, and if the world , the story, and charcters connect with you, go back and play through plus for that bonus content.. I however am not one of those people. Overall Doki Doki Literature Club isa good game, with crazy wtf moments.. But lower your expectations before going in.. its not as great as everyone pretends it is. I give Doki Doki Literatue Club Plus a 7/10
