Daganronpa anime?

Hey all. Without spoiling anything I'm probably about 60% done with the first Daganronpa game. This is one of the best games I have ever played and the story is amazing! The problem is that recently I had a friend spoil the ending for me thinking I already finished the game. As such I have lost almost all desire to go finish the game, because putting the puzzle together was part of the fun and don't want to spend countless hours figuring out something I now know the answer to. My question is this, has anybody watched the anime? I have heard that it isn't near as good as playing the game to get the story, but I want to see how everything played out without spending hours to get to the end of the game. At this point I'm ready to jump into the second game in the series.

So for those that have watched the anime, is it worth checking it out for what I imagine would be the last few episodes?

Thanks.
