### 2/5 — いまいち

*2025-12-31*

この手のゲームで素晴らしいのがあって、このゲームもやってみたけどあまり心にささるものがなかった。

### 3/5 — ゲーム自体は素晴らしいものです。

*2023-09-04*

iPhone8から13に機種変してから久々に起動してみたらフルスクリーンで表示されず、スマホの設定で画面表示に異変はないか色々探りましたがこちらに特に原因は見当たりませんでした。

単純にアプリがiPhone13に対応アップデートが出来てないということに気づき、PSYCHO-PASS幸福なき選択の公式サイトをチェックしてみたら、なんとアプリに対するサポートを終了したとのこと。

つまりもうアップデートはされないということで、iPhone13の私の場合ゲームは一回り小さい画面のアナログテレビのような感覚でプレイすることしか出来ないということが発覚しました。。

ストーリー/演出/キャラクターボイス全てが良いだけにあまりにも残念で、それが故に楽しさも3割減でした。

これからアプリを購入してプレイしたいという方はiPhoneの機種次第ではフルスクリーンでプレイできないという点にご注意下さい。

画面の両脇が黒くプレイ画面が縮小されているだけでなく、スマホ画面上の時刻やバッテリー、Wi-Fiの表示も全て映ります。正直気が散ってゲームに集中できないのが本音です。

しかしゲームのストーリーや構成はアニメと遜色なく素晴らしいものですので、上記を踏まえた上で自分は気にならないと思えるのであればぜひプレイすることをおすすめします！

PSYCHO-PASS最高！

### 1/5 — 💢

*2020-10-21*

真っ黒い画面のまま‼️返金か出来るようにするか早急に

### 1/5 — 画面が真っ黒

*2020-10-07*

起動してしばらく待ってみても画面が真っ黒でプレイできません。

### 5/5 — たのしすぎ

*2020-05-05*

自粛期間にサイコパスにどハマりして購入しました。ストーリーもののアプリをするのは初めてで、選択肢もドキドキしながらできてよかったし、ゲームでポイント貯めてキャラたちのボイス聞けるのはほんとにやばいです。最高です。お金払う価値ありました

### 1/5 — It won’t work

*2020-03-12, version 1.0.0*

Paid 3 to 4 dollars for something that won’t work... Unless I completely turn off my phone, it won’t start up.

### 1/5 — タイトルまで開きません

*2020-03-11*

起動させると画面が黒いまま次に進みません。
対応お願いします。

### 1/5 — いや出来ませんが

*2020-03-07*

セールだから買いましたが、起動しませんけど！

### 5/5 — ストーリーはホントに良く出来てる

*2019-10-27*

PSYCHO-PASSファンには至高の作品内容となっていると思います。
シナリオ監修にはあの虚淵先生も関わっていらっしゃるので、本当に完成度が高いです。
ただ1つ気がかりな点があるとすれば、パッケージ版にはあったOPが何故か無くなっている点ですね…
そこだけどうにかして欲しいな…とは思います。(まぁそれが無くても買う価値は十二分にありますが…)

### 5/5 — ファンには堪らない仕様です！

*2017-09-30*

アニメが好きだったので興味本位で始めましたが楽しいです。独特な世界観の中に入ってキャラ達と一緒に捜査出来るなんて！ちょっとした気分転換になりますよ。
