De momento hay muy poquitos análisis pero ya se dejan ver las primeras valoraciones de la última entrega de la trilogía Zero Escape, que en general y a pesar de la grotesquidad de las animaciones, son bastante positivas. Se habla de una duración situada entre 20 y 25 horas.

We Got This Covered - Shaan Joshi - 5 / 5 stars
Zero Time Dilemma wraps up the long-running Zero Escape series in style. Presentation issues aside, it's the masterpiece we've been waiting for, and the one that the fans deserve.
PlayStation Insider - Daniel Thompson - 10 / 10
In conclusion, Zero Time Dilemma is perfect. From it’s presentation to it’s onerous gameplay, this game flawlessly ends this seven year saga. So please take my advice, buy Zero Time Dilemma, 999, and Virtues Last Reward for about $60.00 altogether (you can get Zero Time Dilemma for 32 dollars via Amazon Prime). Encounter the creepy, rewarding, and provocative story, one that’s been the most flawlessly executed to ever grace video games.
Destructoid - CJ Andriessen - 9.5 / 10.0
Blood brilliant. Zero Time Dilemma is nothing short of a flawed masterpiece.
Eventually, the poor direction of the story segments stopped bothering me. Not because it got any better (because it didn't), but because the story is so goddamn good. Hands down, Zero Time Dilemma has the best story in the series. It made me laugh, shocked me, sickened me, surprised me, brought a tear to my eye, and taught me to look at Back to the Future in an entirely different light.
Nerd Much - Emily Auten - No score
Zero Time Dilemma is the best game in the Zero Escape series, featuring the most intense story, cutscenes, decisions, and fun (and sometimes frustrating) mind bending puzzles which makes this game so amazing and definitely deserving of a spot in your library.
Other notes about the game:
- The music was thrilling and I enjoyed the puzzle music.
- Some animations were awkward or the lip syncing did not match the dubbing quite right. However, it did not hinder gameplay experience.
- There are some spoilers for the other games in the in-game dialogue, but this doesn’t deter newcomers or giveaway too much.
- There’s so much replayability with multiple endings, especially since you can skip puzzle segments (or replay them if that’s your thing!)
Non-Spoiler Tips:
- If you get frustrated with a puzzle, you can save in the middle of it and come back to it later. Sometimes it’s better to cool your mind.
- Take notes, digitally or on paper. There is a touch section where you can take notes. One method I did was take a screenshot of a chart or draw it out so I can look at it when trying to solve the puzzle.
- Prepare for the emotional rollercoaster. And don’t think anyone is safe from death. Don’t be afraid to jump to a decision to see what the other action results in.
Gaming Trend - Eric Van Allen - 90 / 100
Zero Time Dilemma takes some bold strides to tell the series’ final chapters, but even when it falters, it’s never slow to catch back up and deliver. Through well-designed escape rooms, brilliant writing and narrative decisions, and a more relatable cast than ever, Zero Time Dilemma puts the most deserving and exceptional final touches on this excellent trilogy.
Pros
- Great character writing
- Use of animations is an overall boon
- Great escape room design
- Memorable soundtrack
- Fitting conclusion
Cons
- Frustrating timeline interface
- Technical hitches and subpar 3DS port
- Sometimes robotic animations
Famitsu - 32/40 (8 / 8 / 8 / 8)
Primer crítico (8/10): While this is the 3rd game in the ZE series, ZTD also is very enjoyable for people starting off with this game. I thought the the gimmick where every 90 minutes your memory get’s erased by the bangle, the three different viewpoints of the teams and the scenario of unearthing the truth behind what’s going on in those fragments were all fantastic. I also liked the emphasis that is put on interpersonal human drama. The difficulty of the puzzles is rather high. I also noticed that the Japanese voice acting isn’t perfectly lip-synced, which might be because of the focus on selling the game overseas.
Segundo crítico (8/10): I found the setup very interesting where you go through the story of the three teams in non-chronological order, slowly getting a better sense of the bigger picture and ultimately reaching different conclusions. Being able to skip past scenes after having seen them once is also a great choice. The ‘Quest Part’ where you go about solving puzzles is quite challenging and you can have fun with it, but I would have hoped for there to be a hint function for people who play the game primarily for the story.
Tercer crítico (8/10): The mysterious story is very intriguing and the setting doesn’t give you that artificial feeling that’s so common in the Room Escape genre. The structure of the game, where you looking at the Flow Chart, put the Fragments together piece by piece and have different experiences depending on who of the 9 people on the three teams you control ist very elaborate. I also would have liked a help function for when you’re stuck at a puzzle, but I’m thankful for being able to switch to another teams in the middle of it. Also, there are instances where the way you use items becomes difficult and it’s not very user-friendly.
Cuarto crítico (8/10): The evolution of the game where you experience it from the point of view of three teams in fragments and the feeling of me wanting to quickly find out the truth behind the story got me really excited and had me asking myself “what will happen if I do it like that?”. The difficulty of the puzzles during the Quest Part ist rather high and it’s really necessary to make free use of the memo function and put up an honest effort when tackling the challenges. The light banter of your partners during that part serves as a kind of motivation. On both systems (3DS/Vita), the game makes good use of the touch screen for a good user experience.
Dengeki PlayStation - 85/85/80/85
Even if it’s the last part of the ZE series, I think you can start off with this game because there’s a summary of what happened with the characters in the prologue to the story of ZTD. The puzzles are more varied than ever before.
