Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition - Nintendo Switch

Its a very good value when its onsale definitely get this version has all the dlc missing from console versions and its two long games packed in one cartridge a good start for digimon or a beginner rpg ethusiest

So far I've gotten through most of Cyber Sleuth and haven't even made it to Hacker's Story yet and there is so much content in this game that I've loved and enjoyed bringing back my early childhood memories of watching Digimon. One thing I'd like to say about the story is that it is a lot better than the more recent Pokemon game with small side stories you can explore and get a better sense of the mentality that Digimon have, which isn't found within Pokemon so much as they can't express their emotions. Plenty of Digimon to catch and the fact that there is a de-evolution mechanic making it so you need to devolve your Digimon to get more stats so you can get the strongest one is unique and inventive. My description of this game may not be the best but it is well worth the money for the game and is a great game to play when on the go.

I originally bought Cybersleuth for the PS4 when it came out a few years ago. I put well over 100hrs into it and didn’t get bored. My only issue with the game was I wished it could be played on a handheld. I think you could play it on the Vita, but I had a 3ds so that didn’t help. Anyways, I was sure to pick up this game when I got the Switch. I didn’t start playing until I finished Pokémon Sword and boy is it a breath of fresh air in comparison! The Digimon are so much more varied and unique compared to the Pokémon and it’s way more fun to digivolve and de-digivolve to get more different types. It’s way less of a grind to get the different types of Digimon and their animations are way better. I feel like they have improved the translations a bit from the PS4 version as well. It’s a great game, but the beginning has a lot of dialogue to get through so that can be boring, but all in all, I love it!

The media could not be loaded. Love the game, the graphics are beautiful and plenty of digimon and digivolutions. I love how the new digifarm looks also, this game is pretty much like digimon dusk and dawn expect with modern design and better graphics. My only 2 criticisms are: 1. There is a looot of talking between characters, so you might find yourself tapping A to speed it up instead of reading everything because they talk too much. 2. I wish they would’ve put the digimon voices in English, because the digimon voices are in Japanese. But you can still fully understand everything between characters because it’s subbed in English. Other than those 2 things it’s a great game, I rate it an 8.5 out of 10.

I'm writing this review after clocking in over 250+ hours across both games, and I have to say that my experience was quite enjoyable! Here are my thoughts:Pros:- Both games feature a really nice, engaging story with interesting characters. (Hacker's Memory especially.)- While not all 1300+ Digimon are featured in these games, the cast still has a large amount of variety and its easy to tell they put effort and care into animating each one. (Every digimon has a signature move that is especially snazzy.) They also went the extra mile to have your team of Digimon follow you around in the overworld, which is a nice touch.- The games run well and have a consistent frame rate, I also never noticed any graphical issues or slowdown. Load times are usually pretty fast.- Features an absolutely wonderful soundtrack composed by Masafumi Takada of Dangan Ronpa fame.- Having the ability to instantly start random encounters and the Auto-Battle function are great QoL features that make the grinding you have to do (it IS a JRPG after all) significantly less time consuming.- Challenging, but not frustrating. I played both games on the normal difficulty, and I feel the difficulty ramped up pretty naturally over the course of the game, with a few exceptions in the post-game content. (Lucemon-I'm looking at you!)- Has a satisfying visual style and great character design. I particular love the look of both game's protagonists.- Has a much deeper and more complex evolution system then most games of its type-while most evolutions are straightforward, others can require some planning ahead of time to get what you want, which-in my opinion-makes it much more satisfying.Cons-- A pretty iffy localization. Probably my biggest problem with this game, while it is fine 90% of the time, there are some occasions where the translated text isn't formatted correctly or uses a shoddy translation (the improper usage of "Bakemon" in a certain storyline confused me for a long time). The most egregious of these issues is the fact that the dialogue for the male protagonist of Cyber Sleuth was copied over almost exactly to the female protagonist- which can cause some very awkward moments where characters refer to you as male when playing a female character. Hacker's Memory was more polished in this regard.- No English dub for the dialogue. This is not a big deal for me-the Japanese cast did great work and is full of many talented voice actors, but I know many people who would consider this a con. (You can also toggle off the voices entirely if you wish.)- These games both feature strong language and tackle some pretty dark subject matter, while this is a pro for me, It can be off putting for some people, and I wouldn't recommend it to kids younger than 13.- Has a bit of a learning curve. The game does give you a pretty succinct tutorial at the beginning of the game regarding combat, but a few of the deeper mechanics aren't explained as clearly. This game doesn't hold your hand as much as its other contemporaries-and some googling might be required.- Can be a bit grindy at times. While the aforementioned features I talked about above do make grinding easier, if you want to get all of the Digimon you have to be prepared to spend quite a bit of time doing it-either out in the world or in the mirror dungeon feature. The way the game handles raising Digimon and evolution kind of necessitates this, but I can see it putting certain people off.- Many dungeon designs can feel a bit same-y in terms of looks, this is mostly an issue towards the beginning of Cyber Sleuth, and It was a bit tiring going back to Kowloon so many times. This issue lessens after a few chapters.All-in-all, I think that both of these games are great and I heartily recommend them to both Digimon fans and newcomers alike. I really hope to see more entries in this series in the future.
