Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition

Just... boring, I purchased this game because I enjoyed a lot old Nintendo DS Digimon Story games. Well, this is no way similar to the old games. 1. Infinite boring, meaningless dialogues: you have a digimon fight/exploration session every 10 min of dialogue. 2. Procedural side quests: boring 3. You cannot pimp your digimon by digievolution: it was a mechanics present in old DS games that I found very entertaining. You were able to de-digievolve the digimon in order to make it grow stronger, until to have a Koromon stronger than Omegamon. Very rewarding, you can spend time to train your digimon and see the results. Well, this is impossible in Cyber Sleuth: when you go back from Greymon to Agumon, Agumon starts always from its base point, no progression is made by evolving and de-evolving the Digimon. 4. Tasteless scenarios: in old DS games, you had the opportunity to explore different interesting worlds. In Cyber Sleuth, this does not apply, you have only two scenarios: a) a tasteless and boring blue world which is the same for every mission or b) cities you cannot explore because they are full of invisible walls 5. Also, the PC porting sucks. It is barely a…

Great Game. Easy to pick up. Very Addictive. I've lost hours to this game just grinding levels away.

it's fun.

A must-play JRPG that does justice to the franchise. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is a masterfully crafted game that hooks you the second you land on the title screen, greeted by an infectious, stylish soundtrack courtesy of Masafumi Takada. From that opening beat onward, the cyber-detective atmosphere never lets up. Mechanically, the turn-based combat hits the sweet spot between classic JRPG strategy and modern quality of life. The standout feature is the progression loop: the ability to digivolve and de-digivolve at will completely eliminates dead ends. It encourages experimentation, allowing you to manipulate ABI, carry over skills across different evolutionary trees, and mold your favorite Digimon to fit any combat role. The game also avoids common genre pitfalls. Tutorials are quick, practical, and never overstay their welcome—you grasp the core systems instantly without feeling hand-held. As the difficulty scales, the DigiFarm becomes an indispensable tool, letting you train secondary rosters, level up reserve party members, and craft rare items in the background while you focus on the main cases. Whether you grew up with Digimon or simply love solid team-building …

I like the story, i like the gameplay. What else to say

Busywork the game. 90% dialogue, filler, and general time waste. Constantly sends you back through the same uninteresting areas over and over. Zero consistency on whether it makes you run to/from locations, or teleports you there directly, and many quests are literally just running between locations. Basically all the worst aspects of JRPG's rolled into one. The evolution/devolution system is an incomprehensible mess, leaving me feeling almost no connection to the creatures i'm collecting, the main aspect of the game. Every creature has multiple evolution options, many of which bear no resemblance to the original, and can also devolve into something completely unrelated once again. Combat can be done on automatic, and honestly doesn't feel like it holds any less value than doing it manually. I've seen many people say it gets interesting around Act 10, but i had completely checked out by about Act 3. I don't have the slightest interest in the story or any of the characters, and theres far too much filler between the battling and collecting.
