(Notes in bold & italics were added to the original review after completing Hacker's Memory) I could probably write a novel on my conflicted feelings about these two games, but no one would read it, so instead here's a bunch of bullet points. TL;DR - Cyber Sleuth is a 6/10 turn-based RPG that somehow took over my life for a month and I can't really pinpoint why - Hacker's Memory is a 7.5/10 turn-based RPG that took over my life for 2 months and I'm still a little baffled, though less so Digimon vs Pokémon - Not actually a reasonable comparison from worldbuilding & presentation standpoints; Digimon originated as a competitor to Tamagotchi and it explains why evolution is a web of countless and completely unrelated options rather than a set path like Pokémon - Fully reasonable comparison from a gameplay standpoint: Digimon comes out on top, unsurprisingly, as Pokémon is meant to be baby's first turn-based RPG while Digimon is far more like your typical JRPG with spellcasting & in-depth 3v3 party-centric battle mechanics Gameplay - Explore digital dungeons (basically just simple mazes that all look the same with random encounters throughout), with a few more involved dungeons sprinkled in specific story locations - The dungeons are inoffensive but samey - There's a lot of customization if you want to fine-tune your team - Getting the perfect Digimon with the exact stats and skillset you want requires no RNG, just commitment, which is a plus - Focus is more on the story than the gameplay, the battling simply supplements it - Can freely swap between normal & hard difficulty, but both completely miss the mark in Cyber Sleuth while being more along what you'd expect in Hacker's Memory - Normal in both games is a cakewalk and requires zero grinding whatsoever, basically a 'story' difficulty - Hard in Cyber Sleuth quickly becomes a cakewalk in the random encounters but absolutely curbstomps you at boss fights unless you have spent the time fine-tuning a powerful team (or sometimes requires a very specific skill/party setup to win at all) - Hard in Hacker's Memory is just generally tougher as one would expect from a 'hard' difficulty. But I expected it to be like Cyber Sleuth, so I spent a while grinding up the perfect team only to completely steamroll everything until the last 2 chapters - Don't start the game on Hard mode in Cyber Sleuth, worst mistake of my life--Hagurumon never forgave me Story (Cyber Sleuth) - Better than Pokémon, but that's not a high bar to clear - Will give you whiplash from the breakneck transitions between comedy, harsh truths about a world filled with monsters, and genuinely disturbing moments that everyone plays off or brushes past--typical JRPG shenanigans - VERY long story if you're doing all the optional content and training your party up to full strength; currently 50 hours in and not done yet Story (Hacker's Memory) - Pretty good. Nothing amazing, but good - New main cast is better than Cyber Sleuth's, however CS characters appear too and you interact with them as well - I can't imagine playing HM before CS because they kind of expect you to already know the CS characters and don't really explain them if you have no clue who they are - There are moments where the characters just go "something happened that we weren't involved with" or "we felt our role in this was over" or "some of our friends are off to go save the entire world, but we're not going" lmao because the CS protagonist resolves them instead. If you've played CS then this isn't a big deal, but if you haven't then you'll be thinking 'wtf, why am I not part of that' - This is a problem because HM is just better than CS in basically all regards, especially regarding quality-of-life improvements, but you can only fully appreciate the story if you've played the inferior game first Closing points - You will want a second monitor with a wiki open if you want to build a well-rounded team; Grindosaur worked well for me - Digimon designs are generally awesome, though some are pretty over-the-top - Digimon are basically people: they speak in human language, eat human food, and do human things like apply for jobs & fall in love --for better and for worse - I feel bad for long-time Digimon fans because it seems like these games are the best in the franchise, which are simply alright and good quality, but not for everyone - Unfortunately I am now a Digimon fan - I'm not holding my breath on any great new Digimon RPGs coming out any time soon because these two games are like 6+ years old and Digimon's track record for games is not very promising

It took me a while to convince myself to sit down and play through both titles, as a die-hard Digimon fan. I committed myself to the task of obtaining and completing every game in the franchise starting this year, and finally checked this off my list despite owning it for some time now. I really do recommend this game, IF you enjoy or can at least appreciate text-heavy games. I would not personally call this game a VN, however it can be very dialogue heavy at times and gave me that "vibe" for lack of a better wording. The cut scenes have a mix of in-game renders and animation; although I personally wished it had more animated scenes. Story was satisfactory, although I prefer Hacker's Memory to the original in terms of gameplay. Gameplay itself is fun and has most of the common digimon tropes, with some familiar items along the way, albeit a bit repetitive or confusing at times. Hacker's Memory made some convenience improvements (walk speed in dungeons being a big one) that were greatly appreciated. I cannot recommend enough to level three PlatinumNumemon, even if they're an eyesore! I'm terrible at reviews but my take is, even with flaws the games are fun and a great part of the Digimon franchise lineup.

There's an easy way to tell if you should play this game or not: Do you like Digimon or want to get into Digimon? If the answer is yes to either question then you might enjoy this title. Otherwise, you'll probably be better off with a different JRPG. This edition comes with 2 games: The original Cyber Sleuth with retroactive improvements from its standalone expansion Hacker's Memory and the latter title. Each campaign is quite long around 40 hours but this is including some serious padding. This was by far my biggest issue with this game, the story probably has the worst pacing I've ever seen. Every major story moment is undercut by a series of obligatory sidequests and/or lengthy, unskipable dialogue sequences. Not to mention grinding, so much grinding. Getting 3 PlatinumNumemon asap is practically obligatory if you want to make any significant progress. I would have been happy with a significantly shorter game length. Who cares about the ghost hunting club or the coffee shop when the world is ending? Anime was a mistake. Regardless, the combat is alright, in fact I wish there was more of it. It's like budget SMT and there is some depth to team building. Environments are lacking in terms of variety, especially in Cyber Sleuth. This game is technically a successor to the Story series of Digimon games so I expected more exotic locations. Finally, the music is serviceable and I was happy with the creature lineup. Even the story can be decent when it's not interrupted by sidequests and the characters shut up about asinine crap. In summary, get this if you like Digimon. I sure do.

If you've played Pokemon and you're looking to get into Digimon this would be the one to start with, it's a lot simpler than some of their other titles. It's quite enjoyable and grind friendly for those that enjoy the monotony.

Had this recommended to me from a number of sources and the gameplay itself is rather solid. Feels like a classic rpg. The downside is that it's wrapped up in a visual novel, which makes for virtually no exploration, no skippable dialog, or movies. And since the game is designed, not only in new game+, but with two extremely similar storylines, to be played over and over... this gets painfully tedious. Thankfully the digimon evolution dynamics, and the expansive possibilities make the whole game very engaging. Hopefully they'll come out with a mod soon to skip the tedious stuff so you can get back to the action and focus on the various, if rather few choices in Cyber Sleuth.
