The base gameplay elements are all quite fun, I just cannot stand the majority of the story. SO MUCH OF THE PLOT IS FILLER. There are SO MANY required filler quests that are you just running as an errand boy. I am in CHAPTER 16 OUT OF 20 and being told to go do some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ errand quests. THE WORLD IS LITERALLY ENDING AND I HAVE TO GO DELIVER A BLANKET TO A RANDOM DIGIMON. You can't progress the story without doing …

The game shines when it focuses on the capturing, raising, and evolving of its monsters. Unfortunately, these moments are interrupted by a story that is numbingly slow, further exacerbated by long dialogue sequences and cutscenes. This would be a minor issue, however the developers made these scenes unskippable and unable to be fast-forwarded through, even in New Game+. Both games packaged in this edition, "Hacker's …

To the people who are planning to buy this game and play it on their Steam Deck, this game can run well on it even though it says it's Unsupported. However, the first time you play the game, it will be stuck on black screen. To fix this, you need to go to Desktop Mode and open the game, next go to Settings and then Graphics Options. Then go to Screen Mode and then choose Fullscreen and after that, you can now play …

Don't let my playtime mislead you. This game was originally bought and beaten on the Playstation Vita. Amazing game. Obviously not quite as good as the newer entry, Time Stranger, but a great representation of what JRPG Monster Collectors, and especially Digimon games, *should* be. The writing is mature but nothing special, but it's come a long way from "kids go into a digital world and have wacky adventures", and …

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is really nice, even if repetitive in some istances it's overall a satisfying experience, but being a port of a console game means it presents some compatibility issues, expecially with newer PCs and most of all with Nvidia settings. On older computers didn't give as many issues, but newer nvidia setups makes running it properly a bit of a challenge.

Dialogue heavy which can be good or bad based on your preference, cast is charming and the world is fun to explore, though dungeons can seem a little linear. Overall a fine game and a fun experience.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those games where you don't take played time into account. The game has a system where it encourages you to leave it running afk, so that the digimon you're training in your farms receive experience you don't need to do that later on, but when you're just starting, it helps quite a bit; the downside is that you see inflated numbers like mine. Right. On to my review: The good: + Nice variety for digimon; + Nice cinematics (anime art style); + Two games in one (IMPORTANT…

positive · AI labelView post →It might sound hyperbolic but Digimon Cyber Sleuth changed my perspective on monster taming games. And I don't say that as someone who went from either polar end of the spectrum to the other. Rather I have loved monster taming games from the start of my gaming journey. In kindergarten I was making my way through the Johto region before I could read the words in the game (leading to some less than great choices in the early game, and tens of gameplay hours spent stuck before gym 2). So where…
