Above is an article from Dengeki ASCII titled "Why is Root Double a Masterpiece?"

A brief summary for those who don't read Japanese.
1) "These days, working people have no time to spend on games. Therefore, time is valuable, and you wouldn't want to play a game for an hour and feel like you've wasted your time because the game was boring. But Root Double was constantly interesting, from the beginning to the end, which is the ideal situation for an AVG that is very hard to achieve. After the introduction/prologue, incidents start happening one after the other, creating a sense of urgency that continues until the end."

tl;dr - "The pacing is very good."

2) A system that fuse with the story completely. The new system allows the player to further empathize with the protagonist. The result is causing the player to feel a sense of urgency during a crisis situation, or feeling emotional during a touching scene.

tl:dr - "The new system is very fresh and different from normal AVG, and still ends up being pleasant."
