Exploring your prison, Jabberwock Island, is a little more tedious than Hope’s Peak Academy, too. Once again you’ll be fraternising with peers and drying your tears as they drop like flies thanks to the Killing Game. Thankfully - and unfortunately, given (SPOILERS!) you’re going to watch most of them die - the new cast of students are as charismatic, interesting, hilarious and downright entertaining as the first game’s, and all brand new besides just one returning character in a different, portlier guise.

What was supposed to be a Hope’s Peak school trip for new protagonist Hajime Hinata has turned into a nightmare as Monokuma resurfaces and begins a second Killing Game. And it’s very good carnage, but sometimes it all feels like it’s just a little bit much. Goodbye Despair essentially takes a look at how Trigger Happy Havoc went up to 11, starts from that intensity and never really falters. There’s also less of a curve here - not so much in the difficulty, but in the way it eases you into its story. As good as Danganronpa 2 is, it can’t really help but hit similar beats to its illustrious forebear. It’s all that a fan could ever want, really - so why do we not like it quite as much as the first game? Well, it’s a question of familiarity, to some extent. The murders are more brutal, the solutions more convoluted and the cast of characters even more vulgar and over-the-top.
