Really slow paced. Even when you’re making progress, it doesn’t feel like the story is advancing. Not a fan of the characters so far, particularly Nokia. Digivolving is cool, but it’s confusing for someone coming from Pokémon. The digivolution isn’t as linear, but it also offers freedom when advancing your digimon. Optional content is boring and un memorable. There are …

Really slow paced. Even when you’re making progress, it doesn’t feel like the story is advancing. Not a fan of the characters so far, particularly Nokia. Digivolving is cool, but it’s confusing for someone coming from Pokémon. The digivolution isn’t as linear, but it also offers freedom when advancing your digimon. Optional content is boring and un memorable. There are several cases that feel the exact same, but they’re actually not. Playing as a female is weird because you can tell they didn’t change the dialogue from the male scenario.

This game is entirely delisted from PSN, and only purchasable in a bundle with the following game on the Switch…? So weird. The fact that you can buy it on Switch at all means it can’t be a licensing issue or anything, so it feels like they just really want people to buy the next game instead. Guess I shouldn’t …

The fact that you can buy it on Switch at all means it can’t be a licensing issue or anything, so it feels like they just really want people to buy the next game instead. Guess I shouldn’t have waited this long lol

I've just completed this amazing game! I absolutely loved the stroy and the unique characters. It was definitely an entertaining JRPG and I'll write a proper review soon.

Despite being a couple of months, since I last played Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, I've been able to jump straight back into the story.

this outstayed it's welcome, i think i would have enjoyed it far more were it half the length and not so full of busy-body nothing missions, it felt like it took a very, very long time to really get started - i would have certainly welcomed it leaning harder into the persona influences with respect to the characters you interact …

this outstayed it's welcome, i think i would have enjoyed it far more were it half the length and not so full of busy-body nothing missions, it felt like it took a very, very long time to really get started - i would have certainly welcomed it leaning harder into the persona influences with respect to the characters you interact with, i think there was scope for some interesting character study to be had here that wasn't really taken advantage of.

that said, collecting digimon is fun! zig-zagging back and forth on the digivolution trees is fun! my lizard brain will always have a weakness for that kind of thing and digimon does it well.

that localisation though, whew.

Plays very similarly to the Digimon Adventure game on the PSP, mixed with the play styles of Digimon World 3 and any of the Pokemon games. I really like it so far and, just like always, unlocking new digivolutions of your favorite monsters is really satisfying.
