Best Story of 2016 – Steins;Gate 0
Following the success of the original, Steins;Gate 0 takes the series in an interesting direction. Instead of using the time machine to save everyone and prevent the third world war, the story looks at the toll this adventure takes on Rintarou Okabe. This alone would make for an interesting story, but Steins;Gate 0 does so much more.
While the story heads in several different directions, based off which path you choose, the overall adventure is simply riveting. Almost every ending adds a piece to the puzzle and offers a twist that not only expands on the previous content, but has a nice shock value. There is also a healthy amount of misdirection, making it hard to predict how all the events will play out. Sure a couple plot points come out of nowhere and a few of the twists are underwhelming, the overall experience is one that anyone looking for a good story is sure to enjoy.
