    Digimon Story Time Stranger is a fine turn-based RPG with creature collecting and some rough story and progression edges. A notable feather in its cap is how smooth it runs and how nice it looks on Switch 2, not to mention miniscule load times both portably and on TV. I'm glad to have finally checked out a modern Digimon game, even if my expectations weren't fully met, and I'm curious what form the next one ends up taking. Maybe start with clear bad guys that aren't just evil Digimon.

    Digimon Story Time Stranger is a great game with a compelling and exciting story, probably the best in the series. The Nintendo Switch 2 version is a solid way to enjoy that content—text is very easy to read even when cramped on a portable screen, and the graphics are crisp in quality mode. You also have a performance mode available, both of which are exclusive to Nintendo's latest generation of hardware, but the latter is probably a bit less interesting due to framerate inconsistencies. Overall, a pick as solid as it could be on any other platform. [Recommended]
