unlabelledView post →Steins;Gate Re:Boot announced by MAGES. Ostensibly appears to be a remake of the original visual novel with new art and story additions. Set for 2025 release.
unlabelledView post →Unfortunately, refunding the game. Excited as I was for it, it's just not quite different enough in the improved visuals or new content, to warrant the insanely high price tag. Worse still is that it seems to use Steins;Gate Elite (which I do give a pass to that one given what it is) as the base, so it's also missing content from the original. If the game were a fraction of the price, I'd potentially consider picking it back up, but right now it's just... far too expensive for what it actually…

unlabelledView post →At this time, just a few hours after release, it is very difficult to recommend this game over the original. I will gladly change this review to a positive one once the more impactful issues are addressed via patches. I love the series and I am so excited to revisit one of my favorite stories ever with some refreshed visuals and audio. That being said, the technical state of this game, its high price tag, as well as its cuts to the original script make it basically impossible to recommend at…

CONS; - Lack of 1440p support for this game, no 1440p support for a remake coming out…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love steins gate, Okarin is my favorite protagonist across all forms of media ever, but I am buying this and refunding it just to have access to Octet of Shifting Space when it releases. I actually really like the art, but they ruined it with live2d which I personally despise. When I purchased reboot, I bought it for 55$ at the same time the original was on sale for 5$. Reboot is based on Elite which was a simplification for people who only watched the anime so it dumbed down and removed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completing the game confirmed what I had thought ever since it was announced two years ago: the only reason this remake exists is to capitalize on nostalgia and the series' popularity, given MAGES' financial situation. I didn't expect significant plot changes and, all things considered, I'm glad there weren't any; I believe the story is perfect as it is, and I feared they might somehow ruin it. Since this series is really important to me personally, I decided to buy the game at full price to…

unlabelledView post →I debated whether to leave this review positive or negative, but as of 20/09/2026, I have to go with negative. STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT isn't a bad game, but I struggle to find a reason to recommend it over the versions that already exist. Unlike STEINS;GATE ELITE, RE:BOOT does not use anime scenes and stays much closer to the original visual novel. The problem is that if I want that experience, I'd rather just play the original STEINS;GATE. RE:BOOT adds updated visuals, animated character…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The voice quality sounds really bad and compressed. I've been excited to try this out I'll admit, albeit a little skeptical due to the Elite script. I played for a little under two hours, just so I'm in the refund window since I might end up doing that. But the voices man, it sounds so low quality, and it seems highly compressed, in a visual novel I do not see why you would do such a thing just to save a gigabyte or two, an extra gigabyte wouldn't have killed the game storage wise, but for…

unlabelledView post →If you are on linux system or similar, DO NOT buy this game. The developers do not care about you. Get the original. The developers very clearly did not even spend 5 minutes playing their own game on linux since none of the voice lines work at all. Many people are saying to switch to GE-Proton11-5 or similar, however this simply does not work. Similarly you could inject xaudio2_9.dll into the game files, however this also does not work. There are a miillion launch flags and parameters you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Toned down and sanitized version of original. Art, animations and new backgrounds are really good, but Elite's script, compressed voice and mediocre UI (with bad font) ruins everything. Better play original.

unlabelledView post →I decided to buy the game simply because I'm a huge Steins;Gate fan To get the most obvious thing out of the way, the game surely IS overpriced considering that this is mostly not an original story and moreover it's an Elite-ver. truncated story. But I was aware of that before buying so I guess it didn't really leave a huge impact on my general opinion about it. On the contrary, I think I ought to analyze the game more thoroughly given how much I’ve invested in it. Unlike Elite, I think the…

unlabelledView post →played a little snip of it and its just depressing to see this franchise get milked again. the new content isnt even available out of the gate like i've beaten the original and know the entire story the only thing new is the art style which pales in comparison to the original. Yes moving sprites are cool but its just awful seeing the art style death. it doesn't help that the font is awful and squished in some scenes. Shameless CashGrab please don't buy this. I was so hyped for this too.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought because im a huge adv fan and played all the games (O;N included), if you're similar then I recommend. But in earnest I cant recommend for the price. The art is nice and all (yet 1080p cap for some reason lmao), but I dont think that and the new ending, which i'm yet to see, is enough to justify that. Just get the original. It's longer, has an iconic artstyle, and very cheap on sale. Also, the "artbook" is a joke. A pdf of just CGs, which I can rip from the game, seriously?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a preface, I've only watched the anime and played the original DVD version more than a decade ago. So concerns about cut/missing content, its been a long while since I've touched the OG... I'd have to take everyone else's word for what else is missing. Also from reading around, REBOOT uses ELITE for the base of its script. The HUGE asking price for just the base game ($90 AUD) is a big turn off I won't deny that, especially since the original releases go on sale for quite cheap often. If…

However, I do think it is an upgrade (not that big considering that I don't think Steins;Gate needed a remake anyway) if you disregard the price. It really pains me to give a negative review considering how pretty the new art is, how cool the new…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steins;Gate Reboot asks the evergreen question of "Should we really remake a game that has been remade before?" and runs with it, except it is actually a solid entry. Please keep in mind that I have never played Elite, so I can only put Reboot next to the original - and it's done a splendid job. The artwork is lovely, and as much as I love the wonkiness of the original art, Reboot's artstyle grows on you quickly. I won't deny that some CGs had wilder (and better) compositions, meanwhile…

For me, the original Steins;Gate is my absolute favorite piece of storytelling of all time and it will always be there, and of course, I had incredibly high expectations from this RE:BOOT. Let's start with the positive things - There's a significant change in terms of pacing. Things really moved faster and more concise than I remembered. Honestly, I just believe this change is one of the main reasons of this RE:BOOT. - Art style, although my first impression was quite…
