1* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: An unusual case. The [[LoadingScreen Loading Screens]] give advice everytime you transition from floor to floor in a dungeon, and playing again on a NewGamePlus has this effect.
2* EsotericHappyEnding:
3** [[spoiler: In Homura's true ending, even if all the girls survive and have a stockpile of grief seeds, the odds are still against them living very long as Puella Magi. And in the "Homura dies alone" ending, Kyubey comments on how he'll just wait until something comes along that does require Madoka to contract.]]
4** The best ending has Madoka successfully avoid a contract while the other four girls defeat Walpurgisnacht. The story then ends with the girls having a ShipTease-laden tea party, happily smiling and joking at each other. However, since Madoka didn't make a contract, millions of girls are still dying of despair, humankind is still plagued by witches, and the main characters are probably going to all die in a few years after their Soul Gems start to run dry.
5* FridgeBrilliance: Candeloro is kind of puny for a Witch. Of course, [[spoiler: she's the embodiment of Mami's HeroicSelfDeprecation and SurvivorsGuilt...]]
6* FridgeLogic: In one of Homura's routes [[spoiler: the aforementioned "Homura dies alone" ending. Homura defeats Walpurgis and dies after sharing her last moments with Madoka. This would mean her Soul Gem wasn't destroyed or fully tainted, as she doesn't become a witch. So she died from her injuries, something that shouldn't be possible according to Kyubey.]]
7* FridgeHorror: What if StatusQuoIsGod still applies in the Bonus Route? Would Kamijou and Sayaka's relationship still last?
8* IronicEcho: The music for the fight with [[spoiler: Candeloro, Mami's witch form,]] is the same music used when [[spoiler: Mami fought Gertrud in Madoka's Route]]. [[spoiler: Same with Kyoko and Gisela]].
9* LesYay: Are you really surprised? Heck, even Hitomi "Girls can't love girls" Shizuki gets into it if you play your cards right[[note]]if you're wondering, she's into [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Homura]][[/note]].
10* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: While few people outside of Japan have gotten to play it (fan-made translation patches do exist for those who know how to install them), it has received near-universal praise from those who ''have'' due to its genuinely fun {{Roguelike}} gameplay, interesting new approaches to time-tested mechanics like NewGamePlus, expansion upon the series’ lore (a good amount of which was later confirmed to be canon), good storytelling, and of course, the [[VideoGameCaringPotential the ability to shoot for]] a true GoldenEnding to a series that was otherwise ''infamous'' for its soul-crushingly depressing nature.
11* PlayerPunch: If you unintentionally end up turning any of the girls into a witch.
12* StockFootageFailure: To cut corners, some shots from the anime were used. It's very noticable when [[spoiler:Kyoko asks Madoka to try and speak to Oktavia]] and the background is when the barrier resembled a classical music theatre, when the current barrier is a laser light show concert hall. Also it's very easy to tell when characters have been replaced (e.g. Madoka [[spoiler:cradling Mami's dead body is identical to her cradling Homura]].)
