Netto’s Game RoomCatherine TranMay 20255/5 starsCyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory are fantastic games. I'd argue that as far as Digimon video games go, they're the absolute best we've got thus far (though I guess we'll have to see if Time Stranger takes its throne!) It's one of my favorite games of all time. The playthrough I did before writing this was my 8th one, and it likely won't be my last. There are some issues with story pacing as a result of it making you stop to do side quests, but that's nothing new, as previous games in the Digimon Story issue did the same. It improves upon previous entries in significant ways, having a much more engaging story and being significantly less of a grind. It shows its limitations a bit, the result of being a decade old handheld title, but I don't think that hurts the overall experience much. I'd absolutely suggest anyone who likes Digimon pick this up, and even say that it could be worth a play for someone who just likes monster collectors and JRPGs in general.

Japan CuriosityNick CooneyFeb 20169.5/10What can I say, this game is fun, addicting and insanely brilliant. Tearing myself away from it to write this review was a challenge in itself. The visuals are impressive even though it was originally only developed for PlayStation Vita. The basic game mechanic has been carried over from previous iterations and they are perfect. You can sink so much time into raising your Digimon, but it’s so rewarding that I can’t stop! If you’re a fan of Digimon or JRPGs, then buy this game it’s absolutely fantastic you won’t regret it.

TechRaptorAndrew StretchFeb 20168.5/10A fun mix of a variety of different game types and a must have for any fans of Digimon. Even if you're not too into it the story is fun and the mechanics are extremely well done.

WccftechDave AubreyFeb 20166.4/10There's a decent JRPG here, if just incredibly dull. Digimon fans will find plenty to enjoy, whereas casual observers of the series will probably be better off by picking something better.

Hardcore GamerKevin DunsmoreFeb 20163.5/5Establishing a solid foundation for which to build a successful franchise on, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth does for Digimon what Pokémon Red/Blue did for Pokémon. It isn't perfect; its story and script could use some fine-tuning, and the world needs to be more interesting, but overall, this is a solid first step.
