Easy recommendation
I know it's not a popular method for every reader, but I ended up torturing myself reading this and S;G0 in the "chronological" order for my first experience. It was an amazing way to read it all for the first time. Played this game all the way to almost the very end, up to a certain point in the story. Closed the game. PLAYED THE ENTIRETY OF STEINS;GATE 0 .... then came back and finally, after being emotionally drained for an extra 30 hours, finished the true ending of this one. I knew nothing about STEINS;GATE going in, read about this method of experiencing it, and man. I do not regret doing it this way at all. To anyone who has the patience to stop at the climax of the first game's story [which I know not everyone would enjoy], I highly recommend reading S;G and S;G0 this way. Changed my brain chemistry. The pay-off of finally finishing the true ending of S;G after going through all of S;G0 is something I can't put into words. Idk how I'll ever replicate the feelings this gave me, I wish I could go in blind again and do it all over for the first time.

Still thinking about it
After watching the Steins;Gate anime, and becoming a little bit obsessed with it, I thought that I would purchase the original game. I am glad I did! It adds a lot of depth to the story and the characters, and helps to explain several parts of the anime that I thought were a little odd and inexplicable. If you have seen the extremely popular anime, I would not say this purchase is essential by any means. But for those like me who want to experience the story again with a little more depth and expansion, I highly recommend it! For those who have not seen the Steins;Gate anime, watch it! It is currently streaming on Funimation (in the US) and can be watched for free is you sign up for the 14-day free trial. It is really fantastic! For those interested in the story but wary of reading a visual novel, it is a good option. Although, be forewarned, the first half of the anime is kind of slow. Anyway, for those who are not aware of Steins;Gate at all, I would purchase this game if you enjoy a cast of quircky characters, well-researched science fiction, and an awesome, complicated plot that somehow manages to avoid the plot holes that plague most time travel stories. Higly recommended. Update (6/28/17): My computer locked up a few days ago and I had to reset it to factory settings. After a day of updating Windows and all of my drivers, I tried to play Steins;Gate today. And... it gave me an error message in Japanese and did not start. So, just FYI, the game is not packaged with all of the software dependencies required to play it. If it fails to start, try installing another recent game or two and then try again.
