Overall enjoyment is pretty important for a game, so that's the criteria I'd go to first. All of actual "gameplay" just amounts to quick changes of pace to highlight turning points in visual novel debates, so I'm not sure what criteria would get you so incensed about it beyond that.

If you want to talk about failure of cohesion or something along those lines I get way more upset about stuff like Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Arise where the math the core mechanics of the games are based on just completely stops checking out at higher difficulties because they apparently just didn't care about making a well-tuned combat system. Danganronpa's brief interruptions of gameplay can't possibly compare to a failure of that scale in my eyes.
