Even those who aren’t usually fans of Digimon are likely to enjoy this Complete Edition quite a lot because that’s exactly what happened to me when I first played Cyber Sleuth back in 2016. This is a great case of a company understanding the need to mature along with their fanbase, leading to a series of games that stand out amongst its competition while never losing sight of what people fell in love with to begin with.
All in all, it’s hard to argue against this collection, even with those small technical issues. For less than a full-priced game you are getting not one, but two great and substantial RPGs. Cyber Sleuth is easily among the best Digimon games and stories, while Hacker’s Memory might have its downsides compared to the base game but still is an good game on its own. If you ever enjoyed Digimon but haven’t played either of these games, then this is the way to experience modern Digimon at its best. Even those who haven’t heard of Digimon can have a good time since they’re great RPGs, and those who already played them can even go back to the original Cyber Sleuth and enjoy its improvements taken from Hacker’s Memory. If the future of Digimon games takes notes from this series, then I’m excited to see them evolve even further.

I just finished cyber sleuth after a good month and my god the game is huge.
I liked the story a lot the royal knights but the last chapter could've been better.
Havent had such a blast with a game in a long time and surprised to see this many bad reviews.
I can recommend this game on switch, because your digimon keep levelling in the farm if your switch is tunred off. Neat advantage to the PC version.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition is one of the best values that a JRPG fan can get on the Nintendo Switch. The games are fun if not particularly special, but they scratch the "got to catch 'em all" itch. They're marred by some issues, like inconsistent difficulty and a dodgy translation, but nothing ruins the experience. If you're a Digimon fan or just RPG faithful looking for something new to try, it's worth giving Cyber Sleuth a shot.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition is a content-packed RPG with plenty to see and do. Its evolution system feels wholly unique when compared to another monster-breeding game series you might find on Nintendo hardware, and while the grind may be too much for some, it’s comfortably one of the best creature-catchers on the Switch – although Pokémon still holds the crown, of course.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition teeters on the precipice of being a must-have JRPG, but is, unfortunately, let down by a myriad of story-related issues. Thematics and pacing complaints aside, however, there’s certainly plenty of content here to keep JRPG enthusiasts thoroughly entertained.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition isn’t going to wow you unless you already have a built-in appreciation for the franchise.
Digimon Cyber Sleuth comprises of two nearly perfect Digimon game experiences, but unfortunately, they’re smack dab in the middle of an experiment in the franchise that feels much more like a chore than a game. When you’re finding, raising, and battling Digimon, you’ll be in heaven. But the insane amount of unskip-able dialogue and shallow “mystery-solving” gameplay is enough to turn off even the most dedicated fan.
Barring maybe **** I have never put so many hours in to a game. I just completed Cybersleuth at 257 hours. I'm probably not gonna play Hacker's Memory as I'm all Digimonned out.
So where do I start, poor graphics and animations, strange synth music throughout (which is good though), I don't enjoy menu turn based games and have no history with Digimon shows, games, or anything for that matter. The dialogue is bad, the translations worse. I rarely play anything over a 10-30 hour game. The game does not value your time but somehow, I absolutely loved this game.
0/10 is a totally fair score as is my 10/10. This is a game you're going to love or hate. At a cost of around 10p an hour play time and a lot of fun. I absolutely loved it.
I could not tell you why I liked a game where everything is so crap but it is just one of those things where non of it works by itself but as a complete package, it comes together perfectly.
Give it a try, you never know.

Hey, you can just train your Digimon on farm. Put your switch (do not close the app) and yourself on sleep, and the next morning your Digimon would be LV 30+. Once you re on mission, You obliterate your enemy (played in hard mode) in 1 hit or simply put it on auto. That's destroys the purpose of RPG strategy. We've talked about Pokémon being too easy but this is another level.
With that aside, you'll have good time especially Digimon and Anime fan. Character is good (anime style). Story is okay. Graphic is okay. Music is good. Everything is just Good/okay but that's the problem with Digimon. Everything is barely changed from games that I've played in original PlayStation 20 years ago. Just better graphic, more Digimon, and gimmick feature that doesn't affect anything. I really hope with the rise of it anime series, Bandai will give Digimon more attention.
I would say pick it when on sale for at least 50%, it has 2 games and longevity of 100 hours...

No entiendo la nota que tiene este juego. Es tremendamente repetitivo, escenarios muy escasos que tienes que recorrer una y otra vez. Misiones secundarias aburridisimas, incluyendo las que probablemente son las peores misiones secundarias de la historia como son los objetos perdidos (ni si quiera se molestan en que cada objeto sea diferente, es el colmo del relleno).
La crianza de Digimon, lejos de ser divertida, se hace muy tediosa y representa de la misma forma lo repetitivo del juego, teniendo que retroceder y avanzar de etapa una y otra vez para conseguir un Digimon medianamente decente.
En cuanto a los diálogos, más de lo mismo, hay una cantidad increíble de diálogos vacíos y redundantes. El juego, en general, podría haber sido exactamente lo mismo en un tercio o menos de las horas que obliga a invertir, y habría sido mucho menos aburrido.
Lo único que se salva un poco es la historia (que tampoco es gran cosa) y la banda sonora, que recuerda en casi todo momento a otras franquicias como persona, final fantasy o nier (quiero pensar que a modo de homenaje).
En resumen, solo lo recomiendo a los fans más acérrimos de Digimon, e incluso a ellos les diría que con opciones como el Next order este juego no merece la pena.

story: painfully slow, doesn't get going until about chapter 10 (20 chapters total). interesting story bits are few and far between and get swiftly interrupted by so-called "main cases", which don't progress the story at all and seemingly only exist to increase playtime
gameplay: divided into solving cases and battling
solving cases: incredibly repetitive fetch-style quests ranging from "talk to one or more npcs" to "enter dungeon, defeat one digimon". all cases ultimately boil down to "go there, now go there, then go there". occasionally interesting side stories, that one however likely can't be bothered to read, given how many damn textboxes the main story alone throws your way. overall, cases are generally an uninteresting slog solely existing to increase playtime, but fortunately, most are entirely optional
battling: combat system is laughably shallow; somehow less intricate than mainline Pokemon. combat basically devolves into using a skill that doubles the damage of your next attack (if your digimon has even learned that skill) and then unleashing your strongest attack. rinse and repeat. there are various other skills, including buffing skills, but most of them are so poorly balanced (read as: weak) that there's hardly ever a point in using them. some boss enemies have so overtuned defense stats that you basically NEED specific digimon with defense-bypassing attacks if you don't wanna slowly grind away at a singular enemy for more than 10 minutes.
I personally had more fun grinding out digimon and getting good skills for them than I had interacting with the main story, or even the main gameplay loop.
I don't understand how anyone could, in good faith, rate this game higher than an 8, for every aspect of it is either lackluster, not fun or blatant playtime padding. if you want an RPG with a satisfying/engaging/entertaining/interesting/deep combat system, I strongly advise looking elsewhere
