At first I wasn't sure if i would like this because of the fact your partners have finite lives. I thought it would set you back so far if your Digimon die. Fear not, for the next generation starts a bit stronger than it's previous generation of In Training Digimon, and as you progress, you can increase it more and more. It's actually a really fun mechanic. Makes you treasure the time with that partner too. I really enjoy this game. As someone who missed Digimon when they were a kid due to the prevalence of Pokemon and YuGiOh, I hate that I waited so long to experience it. Absolute fan of the franchise now. Also the entire ExE sequence is one of the coolest things in a game. The music, the sequence... and when it randomly happens if you lose a battle... I'm only on Chapter 3 so far because I wander off and love just spending time with my Digimon and building up the city! It's a great night-time relaxation game filled with some cozy creatures (and not so cozy) and very nice music to round it out.

TL;DR / Quick Summary • If you have or had any interest in the original PS1 Digimon World, then you should really consider buying this game. If the game is on sale, then just go for it. • You will need a controller. Preferably one with Xbox button layout. There is a mod for Playstation button layout. • Select "Easy" for less grinding. • Start by following the story at the beginning. You can wander around, but can't do very much without story progressing a little bit first. How this game compares to the original If you have ever played the original Playstation Digimon World on PS1 and liked it even a little, then chances are high that you'll also like this one. This game is more casual, with an actual story, and has more endgame content than the original. If you don't know about the original Digimon World, then you should watch some gameplay to understand how this game works. This review is mostly for those who are already familiar with the mechanics. At the beginning, it's a little annoying that you can't really freely choose the path you want to take, since recruiting Digimon usually requires certain progress in the story. If you see recruitable Digimon "too soon", then they just say something like "go away", and you can't fight them. Later you can more freely choose where you want to go and who you want to recruit, so this annoyance lasts only during the early game. Here are some differences compared to the original game: • The new version is more casual and explains most of the things quite well. This was the biggest question in my mind: does this game require the same kind of reading guides and trying to figure out what to do? You should be able to finish the main game without guides. Endgame probably requires tips about how to make your Digimon more powerful. • Two Digimon make the game more exciting, and you can either level them up at the same speed or have their lives desynced. Then you can benefit from higher training stats and fighting rewards since those are determined by the more powerful Digimon. Keeping care of your two Digimon is easier than the one in the original. • There are many quality-of-life improvements, and at the later stage of the game, you have quite a big collection of evolution items, ways to modify Digimon stats, hints about evolution requirements, and the possibility to block evolution into Digimons you have already had, and so on. You will eventually also get access to reliable ways to make your Digimon live longer or die sooner. • You will get tamer points that can be used to permanently unlock various new skills and boosts. In the original game tamer points only affected how much stats new Digimon inherits after reborn. • After recruiting certain Digimon, you can upgrade your city/buildings using materials. • There are a lot more recruitable Digimon than in the original. • There are also new endgame bosses and dungeons that offer more challenge for those who want it. Controls You basically need a controller for this game. Battling with two Digimon is actually quite well thought out, and I don't have any complaints about controls with the controller. If you don't have a controller, then you will have a tough time. Grinding • If you dislike grinding then select "Easy" because "Normal" just overall requires more grinding. Naming should be: Easy = Normal, Normal = Hard. Comparing to this game the originals only setting was Hard/Very Hard. • If you want to get all achievements then you need grind a ton regardless which difficulty setting you choose. • Tip: this is not mentioned anywhere in the game but fighting freezes in-game time so fighting wild Digimon will eventually give you better stats compared to using gym which uses one in-game hour per session. Mods There are some minor annoyances, but there are also some great quality-of-life mods at Nexus that made this game more enjoyable: • Always Running : You run a ton during the game, so faster running speed is very nice to have. I had it doubled. You will probably save some real-world hours just running back and forth. Faster running speed technically gives a better chance to avoid wild Digimon, but there are very few Digimon that you can't dodge with default speed, and when those few faster Digimon appear, it shouldn't really matter anyway. • Camera Distance : Having larger camera view is godsend with larger Digimons that otherwise block the whole screen. It's also generally nicer to be able to see more surroundings. Try to disable depth of field in case of lag. • Instant Care Menu : You open this menu million times, and it is just a lot nicer when the menu open in an instant without delay. • One Hit Resources : Grinding resources shouldn't need more un-needed clicking. Click resources once and get them. Hope this was the default behaviour. • Static Minimap : This should be built-in option, but at least we can stop spinning map with mod. • Battle Stats Multiplier : With default settings, this will provide actual Easy mode, offering more stats when grinding. Endgame requires you to grind a ton, even with Easy, so instead of repeating the same basic actions for several hours, you can optionally save time and grind for an hour or less for the same results. It doesn't make stats free but makes grinding more rewarding. • (Playstation button prompts) : By default the game uses Xbox style button prompts. You can change them into Playstation ones if you happen to play using a Playstation controller. ...and some more. Check the mods, and spend something like 30 minutes, and you’ll have a better time during the dozens of hours you probably spent with this game :)

If you want a Pokemon clone you should go for Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, it's not exactly that, but a lot closer than this. So what is this game? Do you remember Tamagotchi? That's what this is. You get 2 Digimon, you feed them, they poop, you train them and fight and after around 20 days they die, repeat. This game is less about training your Digimon and more about training your character to get useful perks that help you max out your Digimon faster. You also manage a town and help it grow by doing quests for wild Digimon so they join. This will unlock new stores that offer better equipment and also max out your Digimon faster. Overall it's not a bad game, it's just very tedious, especially having a soft reset for your Digimon so many times. I would have prefered the system from Cyber Sleuth, that lets you evolve the Digimon back and forward to get what you want. That probably would have made the game a lot shorter. [The game runs and looks perfectly fine on Steam Deck. The verification is well deserved.] Time to finish: ~50 hours

Digimon World: Next Order - Because One Screaming Digital Child Wasn't Enough Ever wanted a game that perfectly captures the experience of parenthood, but with more pixels, digital monsters and impending Doom? Digimon World: Next Order is here to fulfill that oddly specific dream that all of us old school fans of the series have dreamt of since Digimon World 1. This isn't just a game. it's a glorified Dad Simulator. Picture this: You’re managing not one digimon now but TWO Digimon partners, each with their own needs, quirks, and vendetta against your sanity. One moment, you’re fighting for survival, unleashing devastating ultimate attacks; the next, you’re desperately sprinting across an ever so populated sand region to find the nearest outhouse because again, not one but TWO of your Digimon is doing the Bathroom tango of terror. This game has it all. Strategy? Check. Virtual pet mechanics? Yep. The occasional existential crisis because your favorite Digimon just got reincarnated into a literal poop emoji? Yeah, that's in here too. What other game has it where you treat your children to a 5 star meal in a restaurant just to have them yell at you for not giving them a snack and then digivolving into a booger? If this isn't epic fantasy, i don't know what is. So, if you’re ready to embrace the chaos, raise some digimon, and debate for about an hour on google on what digivolutions you want. Congratulations: Digimon World: Next Order might be for you.
