Don't worry, they're not required, but they're also great stories that, if you finish them, you'll have a whole different view on some of Umineko's important characters.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dude, not only that, but honestly: Umineko has THE BEST SOUNDTRACK OF THE WHOLE VIDEOGAME INDUSTRY in my opinion.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
His expressions and character design/execution are great here, I really recommend playing with the original sprites (but I'm also not really a "you have to play with the ps2 mods for when they cry" kind of person to begin with...).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When it comes to the battles/gameplay, Umineko has a unique way of telling them, which can really only be done in visual novels, or books willing to tell it's story with more than just black ink.
