It's a Science Adventure game so I'll always recommend it but... This is really average. Not only the game itself is barely inspired and is uninteresting routes for the most part, the localization and the publishing has issues. Don't mind the fact that a character present in this very game has been cut from STEINS;GATE ELITE which is quite problematic. This same character is in STEINS;GATE: My Darling's Embrace, true, but at least this other fandisk is more inspired, cohesive, has a good localization and is not bundled with STEINS;GATE ELITE.
Much like I said in my STEINS;GATE ELITE review, "I recommend to get it on sale, because it is frankly hardly worth the full price, even with STEINS;GATE ELITE bundled with it." I personally liked the first and the last route, had some surprises here and there for the others but that's it.

If STEINS;GATE ELITE and this was your entry point in "The STEINS;GATE Series", or, more accurately, the Science Adventure Series, I recommend you to wishlist ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE, which is the entry taking place after STEINS;GATE in the read-order. You can also buy CHAOS;CHILD and STEINS;GATE 0 right now to continue the journey after ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE (in that order yes, because overarching themes are transitional, and chronologically following a series isn't always the way to go). Please consider wishlisting ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH too, as, after reading this game I've been reviewing, you'll know what "DaSH" stands for. Also before those other entries that might seem obscure to you, be sure to read the CHAOS;HEAD fan translation, as it A) makes STEINS;GATE even woker in my opinion, B) is literally required to understand all the subsequent entries
