What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
STEINS;GATE 0 tells an additional story for those who have played STEINS;GATE (or STEINS;GATE ELITE (my review)), telling what happened on the particular world line that was shown in the true ending.
Everything from the games excellent writing, impeccable pacing, and impactful character development to its striking artstyle and beautiful soundtrack set it apart from its contemporaries.
To be honest, there isn't much to be said about visual novel gameplay: you mostly will read through a wall of texts.
Theme by theme

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
