What critics said
Praise
- STEINS;GATE's place in the medium hardly needs explaining. It has long since established itself as one of the most successful visual novels ever made. With STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT completely remaking the original using modern technology, there was little reason to expect much in the way of new content. All it really needed to do was preserve as much of the original experience as possible. Fortunately, STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT does a pretty good job of that, at least more so than STEINS;GATE ELITE.
- STEINS;GATE REBOOT brings sharp new art and presentation to an already classic sci-fi story. While some wrinkles in the presentation might upset longtime fans, this is an incredible way to experience one of the best time travel stories in gaming.
- Playing through STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT as someone who has never really read or played the original or the ELITE re-release was a great experience from beginning to end. While there are some frustrations with a lack of subtitles on images and the text crunch, I feel like I now understand just why people hold this game in such high regard. Once those issues I've mentioned have been ironed out, I can safely say this could be perfect for those looking to learn more about Rintaro and his journey.
Criticism
- Steins;Gate Re:Boot is its own unique spin on the original game, and it doesn’t do anything directly wrong to change the previous attempts, making this remake stuck in a sort of limbo. It isn’t by any means a bad game — you still get a memorable experience, and it’s even got some new bells and whistles in the form of new routes. However, it isn’t anything particularly exciting, at least in my eyes.
