Digimon Story Time Stranger

ストーリー終わったので一応レビュー ハードでやって自分の好きなデジモンを育てて、50時間くらいで終わるくらいの長さ。 ケルビモン（善）、インペリアルドラモンPM、マグナモン、ラピットモン（アーマー）、グレイモン、メタルガルルモンでクリアしました。 他にもちょくちょく気になって育てているので、ストーリークリアだけなら40時間切る人もいるでしょう。 概ね、育成や戦闘システムの面で不満はありませんでした。無難なRPGゲームと言う感じです。 ただ、ストーリーが自分的には、合いませんでした。理由はいくつかあり、多分にネタバレを含みます。 ネタバレ込み： 主人公のいる意味が無かったのが正直自分には、合いませんでした。時を前に進めると言いながら、悪いことは全部消し去ってしまったので、なんの糧にもならずゲームで見てきたキャラクターたちの情報が無くなってしまったのがものすごく残念です。 同じ存在が3体いるなら、プレイヤーキャラクターがラストのポジションに収まって良いでしょう。主人公させてください。あと記憶を消すな、その別れの痛みも含めてキャラのものなのにそれが無くなったら、キャラは死んだも同然ですよ。 プレイヤーが見てきたものを消すのだけはマジでやめて欲しかった。本当にストーリーだけ合わなかった。

You removed Denuvo? Oh, look -- a purchase. Funny, that.

In short, it is a good game. You play as a secret agent involved in Digimon matters, which is a more engaging role than a cyber detective investigating random urban tales. I will review it with pros and cons without giving story spoilers while comparing it with Cyber Sleuth and other Digimon games. Pros: + It is a Digimon game. + We interact way more with the Digital World this time around, as it should be. + The visuals, both for character models and fields, are vastly improved. There are some breathtaking areas in this game, contrasting against the bland dungeons of Cyber Sleuth. + No Random Encounters, thankfully. You can see all field enemies now. You can even attack them before a battle. + Side missions are more connected to the main plot now, albeit not without cons. + Rejoice, all Digimon fans: ABI is gone! There is a new digivolution system in place. It is not perfect, but miles better than Cyber Sleuth's. + Time Stranger's battle system is more dynamic and entertaining than Cyber Sleuth's convoluted arrangement of piercing attacks and constant item spamming. It is faster too. + Your Digimon feel closer to you. Talking with them and riding them can be fun. + The Agent Skill system helps you feel more in control of your progression. + Themes and elements of Time Stranger's plot are more interesting than Cyber Sleuth's shtick of e-drama. The cast is better too, especially Aegiomon. + The truth about ADAMAS did surprise me in a positive manner. In hindsight, It wasn't that hard to see it coming if you weren't distracted by everything else going on. For me, that reveal was an excellent hype moment before the final struggle against the main villain. + A huge improvement over Cyber Sleuth in general. + Veterans of the franchise will easily recognize that Time Stranger took inspiration from other Digimon games, such as Digimon World 1. Cons: - Unfortunately, it still didn't surpass Digimon World 1 as the best Digimon game. Maybe the next Digimon game will succeed. - Some of the plot twists will only work if you do the side missions before progressing with the main quest. Otherwise, you might not understand them. - As a courtesy of incorporating Time shenanigans, the story gets a bit wonky during its final stages. Nothing that can stop you from enjoying it, though. - Hard Mode isn't that hard at all. I think Cyber Sleuth's hard mode was better. - The Digimon Farm is absoultely less engaging here. I couldn't be bothered to use it. I only used it once in my entire playthrough. Felt like a wasted mechanic. - Tying Digivolutions to the Agent Skill system is a choice. It is nothing unbearable, I understand why they did it, but I still can't agree with it. - Unfortunately, the side missions felt a bit lacking. Cyber Sleuth's side missions weren't special, but I still think they were better.

Honestly, if you care even a little bit about the story, you shouldn't be buying this game. It is laughable at times and some scenes aren't even properly animated. Battle wise it is pretty much like any other turn based RPG. My advice is to only buy this when it is on sale AND if you really like the digimon franchise. The most enjoyable part of this game is the dopamine rush when I get to evolve my digimon TT

I love this game the story is reall good. The turn based combat is fun. I like the characters, art style & the world building. The game looks fantastic and even better than Cyber Sleuth. I love yhe amount of Digimon it has. If your a Digimon fan or hell even an turn based RPG fam you'll love it.

I wanted to like this because I really enjoyed Cyber Sleuth, but this ended up being a disappointment. At its core it's still Digimon, so collecting and evolving your favourite Digimon is fun. Unfortunately, everything around that feels like a downgrade. Progression gets repetitive very quickly and isn't nearly as satisfying as Cyber Sleuth. EXP gain feels painfully slow, the story never really became interesting, and a lot of the missions are so vague that you're left running around trying to figure out where to go instead of actually enjoying the game. There are also some really frustrating design choices. Some late game sections disable the minimap for no apparent reason, the camera can be awful in certain areas, and navigation often feels more annoying than challenging. The monetisation leaves a bad taste as well. The game constantly pushes DLC, even going as far as having a dedicated NPC just to advertise it. I didn't buy it, but from what I've read, some of the DLC essentially lets you grind much more efficiently. If that's true, it's hard not to wonder why the base game feels so slow in the first place. The game isn't terrible because it's still Digimon, and that's honestly what kept me playing. But compared to Cyber Sleuth it feels stripped down, less engaging, far more repetitive, and monetised far more aggressively.

Its a really good game 100% but honestly if there was a way to give it a meh i would. Reason 1, The story is as boring as you can get, like you keep going back to the same place over and over, the characters you follow are boring and make really dumb decision for no reason. Reason 2, Game is long and grindy as hell like it gets so boring to the point you just end up ending gaming session early due to how boring it gets. Mechanics are good but a bit confusing at first as the controls are lot different compared to other games. Even if you have a crappy pc or laptop it runs really well and its coming from personal experience as i have a crappy laptop. I would personally give it a 5.5/10 when it comes to story but a 9/10 for actually gameplay and other stuff

Tried to get into it, but it's too linear and repetitive. The story line is lame and over dramatic. No thanks.
