I started playing Danganronpa V3 and at least from a presentation standpoint it completely blows DR1 and DR2 out of the water. The production values are extraordinarily higher.
And so far it seems like the right choice to double-down on Monokuma with the Monokubs. I didn't like the dynamic between Monokuma and Monomi in DR2 (I even had to look up Monomi - that's how memorable she was) but the Monokubs at least *seem* interesting in the inro-intro to DRV3.
