Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory - PlayStation 4

The Cybersleuth series of Digimon games are some of the best Digimon media you can get your hands on if you like Digimon and turn-based games this is the one for you. But FYI, this is the second instalment in the series, so you might want to play the first game before this one.

This is the best digimon game in my opinion. At least when we are talking in the last 10 years. The story was better and more interesting than the first cybersleuth. This one also has more digimon so that's a plus. It still has an online feature that let's you battle but I didn't mess with it personally. Without going into any spoiler, this game has and talks about characters and events that happened in the first game. I don't believe it's necessary to play the first one to enjoy this one. If you are thinking about getting a digimon game, please get this one. Unless you like the OG Playstation 1 digmon world then get next order.

The overall game is great. If you liked the original Cyber Sleuth, you'll like this as well. Most of the mechanics are overall the same, but they did add a couple of new ones, plus a new type of battle system which is pretty interesting. They also added about 80 more digimon to my knowledge. If you never played the original Cyber Sleuth, I would recommend playing it before this, but this game is also really good and recommend this one as well. The only reason I recommend the original over this is that there are a lot of references to the first game. I am mostly writing this to denounce most of the issues people had with this game (thus all the 1 star ratings). The preorder DLC for this game came via email, but many people were upset it didn't come in the game box. Then, Bandai Namco had an issue with redeeming the codes, so they didn't work until yesterday. The last issue some people had were the censorship. The censorship was a single digimon got a reskin and a name change. Now, I do think it's stupid, even moreso what was being "censored" but it's not like they changed a lot of the game. One digimon, Sistermon Noire, is a gun-toting nun, which the developers of the games created an American counterpart, Sistermon Ciel, as they were afraid the American audience would be upset with a nun with a gun (which I think is hilarious considering this is America we are talking about). Either way, if you wanting a "pure" version of the game, then import the EU version, which to my knowledge, has Sistermon Noire in it. The censored version is apparently the American version only, though I would verify that if you are planning on importing it.

This game is to Cyber Sleuth as Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon is to regular Sun/Moon. It follows the same story as Cyber Sleuth but from a different perspective. You visit many of the same locations and people. I personally enjoyed this, as I loved many of the locations and NPCs from the first and it always felt like fun cameos versus reusing assets. Other stuff:-86 NEW DIGIMON!-Upload your completed save from Cyber Sleuth to get a number of bonuses at the beginning of the game including a Tactician USB (XP Bonus!), costume item, and money item. Also transfer over your medal and Digimon collection progress so you don't have to reacquire what you already had!-New accessory system where you can put costume accessories on your Digimon!-New Digimon "Black Market" where you can purchase Digimon to help complete your collection-More Hacker Skills that can be used in the worldOtherwise, the gameplay is basically the same as Cyber Sleuth, you take "missions" from a mission board, dungeon crawl, scan Digimon, and take care of Digimon at the Digilab/farm. The voices continue to be in Japanese with English subtitles. The translation is about as good as the first with minimal typos/grammar issues.At this time the pre-order codes from Amazon still do not work, but Bandai posted on their Facebook they are aware of the issue and looking into it, so I'm confident it will get resolved soon.

Im changing my review of this game now that I got all the pre order bonus stuff.I only bought the first cyber sleuth game because it was seriously discounted . I was a huge pokemon fan at the time and never played any digimon games. That game was shockingly super fun. The story and game play were very well put together. Characters were lovable and dialog funny. I love how you level digimon .Its more of a challenge than pokemon . I love the whole cyber world it has going on for it. The first game is one of my favorite ps4 games ive played.OK so this game . I havent finished it completely yet but i love it. I like how it takes place at the same time as the old game and kind of answers some questions that were unanswered in the last game. At first I was upset that you cannot play as a girl but quickly got over it. I think the characters are a little more developed in this one. Dialog is still funny . Its just a fun game to play.
