    One of the worst Digimon games to date, a laughable story, and slow gameplay in general. Not recommended at all.

    Digimon is a decaying series, so it doesnt surprise me that its next attempt at a game comes with a very weak story, bad gameplay mechanics, and boring digimon, despite those being in theory the most important part of such a game. It's time for Bandai Namco to move on to healthier series

    The Cyber sleuth series has one of the most disempowering and nonsensical storylines of any JRPG, overly reliant on every character in the plot taking turns holding the idiot ball in order for key points to progress or happen in the first place. That does not change in the sequel. Heck, the start of the game is basically "I'll prove to everyone that I'm not a hacker by using these superThe Cyber sleuth series has one of the most disempowering and nonsensical storylines of any JRPG, overly reliant on every character in the plot taking turns holding the idiot ball in order for key points to progress or happen in the first place. That does not change in the sequel. Heck, the start of the game is basically "I'll prove to everyone that I'm not a hacker by using these super hacker powers that were forced on me!". Just...think about that for more than a few seconds.

    What is worse is that this game might as well be an asset flip. Their own assets, sure, but most of this game's models is from the original Cyber Sleuth game. Even worse is that they will end up selling both games twice with no content added on when the inevitable PS4 release happens.

    These games getting acclaim is only going to make this greed and laziness more prevalent...But I guess if that's what people want, there's little a minority voice on the internet can do.    … Expand

    For the first hours of the game I was thinking I was in an interactive movie rather than playing a video game. There are so many cutscenes and all of them are padded out unnecessarily. I tried to stick with it but the weird design choices are the same choices in the previous game that made a simple cutscene arduous and monotonous.

    The gameplay is where the game shines, but unfortunately    For the first hours of the game I was thinking I was in an interactive movie rather than playing a video game.

    The gameplay is where the game shines, but unfortunately it takes too long to appreciate this. Most of the other content is just the same as the last game. Very lazy and not worth your time. I had mixed feelings about the last game and only negative ones about this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everywhere I looked, cryptocurrency was trending, and I saw a lot of enthusiasm and news about it online. I was unaware of the manner in which to do it, but quite a number of others were getting into it and earning money while reclining in their homes. I approached a group online, and after spending some time with them, I received assistance in making an investment. I began with the package and eventually upgraded to the mega scheme, but I was unaware that the company was a rip-off and that all the reviews I had read were counterfeit until one of the group's members revealed the sad truth on the platform, after which she was promptly kicked off. I discovered her name using a name search, and when I asked for proof, she proudly demonstrated how she used Spyware Cyber to retrieve money she had previously lost. Just to be sure, I tried to withdraw, but I was prevented from doing so. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, so I immediately supplied all transaction proofs to Spyware Cyber through email for verification before my recovery exercise was started, and successfully recovered funds were added to my wallet in a day. Thanks to Spyware Cyber I have discovered that I should avoid online money-making schemes.

    It hasn't evolved enough to deal a critical hit to the competition. [Apr 2018, p.95]

    Despite some of the shortcomings I found in the narrative and its inability to simply impress when it came to the conclusion of most cases, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory manages to hold its weight. It's saying something when compared to other RPGs in the fighting monster team genre. The true stars of the show are the digimon, as they indeed should be, and there’s enough zaniness in the rest of the game to keep you entertained throughout its long running time. There’s room for improvement, though, and should the developers choose to keep this side of Digimon series going, we could see something truly amazing in the future. As it stands now, Hacker’s Memory is not a bad way to hang out with some of my new favorite digital friends.

    Hacker's Memory is a sequel that can only be enjoyed by gamers who played the original Cyber Sleuth. The lack of direction makes it tough to recommend to newcomers and the repeated content will hamper the fun factor for existing fans. However, if you're a long-time fan and only play the games for their in-depth monster customization then it's surely worth picking up.
