This game is very polarizing and like most other Digimon games is mostly for fans.
A LOT of patience is needed but you will be rewarded for it. Plays slightly like an MMO in some ways, as you must complete your dailies for best results.

One of the best Digimon World games. I am on my second play-through, after playing it three years ago to the ending. It is pretty relaxing. You should expect a typical grind for training your two pet Digimon. This is not a Pokemon turn-based game, but real-time training, bonding, feeding, and even letting them go to the bathroom. There's a lot to this game under the hood; the city even gets a stock market eventually.
I look forward to playing the Switch version on February 2023.

With solid JRPG gameplay and surprisingly accessible mechanics, I was shocked by how much I got out of my time with Digimon World: Next Order. I will say, however, that the game will probably be most appreciated by those with a strong affection for whimsical nonsense — two of the game’s main characters are a dignified kung-fu cat and a tiny caveman whose hair completely obscures his features, and the most bizarre transformation involved a spike-shelled walrus evolving into an axe-wielding Frankenstein. This is a solid game, but more than that, it’s a strange one, and that strangeness has to be played to be believed.
It takes a little too much to reward the player for its progresses, but it's a really enjoyable adventure for fans of the series. If you like the first Digimon World for PSX, you'll like this one.
Digimon World: Next Order is an interesting game. It is honestly is nothing like anything I have ever played before. The unconventional leveling system, the complex raising mechanic, and the passive battle system all take a while to get used to, and the first parts of the game can be a real difficult time for some, but in all, I think there is room for this game for many RPG fans out there. It’s not going to win any awards, but it is different enough to keep players on their toes and if you let the raising become an addiction to you, it can easily last you a very long time. I would say wait for a little price drop unless you’re a hardcore fan of Digimon.
Digimon World: Next Order makes it difficult for newcomers to get invested through repetitive grinding and a very slow pace. Despite this, fans can still savour the heart-warming pride of raising two Digimon friends.
On a whole, Digimon World: Next Order isn’t a bad experience. It does take some time in order to get used to the flow of the game, and to deal with its irritations, but once you're there, you're in for what might potentially be a very addictive grind indeed.
One of the best digimon games I've played. Also, it so nice to have it to play in my ps4. I am really enjoying the game, and I will definitely play it over and over. I totally recommend this game!

Я играл во все части игр и делал это на протяжении 15 лет. Next order хорошая игра в плане гецмплея, но только в первые 2+ю-3 часа, потом становится скучно. Гринд в игре очень скучный (напоминаю, что в DW1 он не был такой обязательный) а вот в next order ты именно обязан фармить! Ещё мне не нравится, что дигимонов можно сделать бессмертными с помощью данжов

Digimon World: Next Order
Like taking care of a 2 year old.
Have you even wanted to be a pageant mom and have a honey booboo child of your own?
Well you’re in luck, because in Digimon World: Next Order you get 2.
Here you play as either a male or female character that you get to name and you work on escaping the digital world…
This is a very odd rpg... it’s a very good rpg though.. But that statement of course depends on the type of gameplay experiences you enjoy…
Digimon World is very much a management game...
The game starts with you choosing any 2 eggs… you raise the characters in these eggs in a training room to digivolve them and boost their stats… not in combat..
Their stats act more as defense here in case you do run into a combat situation...
You do increase your tamer level from combat though which gives skill points for your skill tree...
In this game you explore the open Digi world recruiting digimon to your village by helping them get the items they need throughout the world and in exchange they go back to your village and offer a perk for that village...
Your village is where you go to restock on food every day, buy items from shops, and train your digimon...
And mistakenly as you play the game this village gets bigger so everything is spread out instead of nicely packed into a small area… so you have to run around to get your refills…
As you are completing tasks you’ll run into wild digimon and you act as a coach or a cheerleader on the sideline while your 2 digimon do their thing…
you are able to throw in some healing items while they fight and command them to do special moves that they build up thanks to your cheering…
But they fight on their own…
you’re basically a cheerleader for 2 toddlers that also does fetch quests.
And as you explore the lands completing the tasks given to you you have to make sure your digimon don’t go hungry... and they get hungry a lot…
It’s annoying how frequently you have to feed them…
You even have to take them to the bathroom…
It’s a constant juggle of making sure you have food and portable toilets... while your digimon are strong enough to handle themselves in the locations you travel to…
That’s the game…
It’s a really good game if you’re into that kind of thing.. Even I was for the first 8 hours…
But the thing is your digimon die…
And I have no idea how or why...
They’ll get sick if you over train them… but I purposely hatched a new one and trained it without giving it rest at all trying to kill it.. And it just wouldn’t die... I thought this was why and its clearly not it...
I tried to push at least 10 different digimon past their ultimate form and they died every time with no signs of illness or dissatisfaction from me as a tamer..
And it’s of course very frustrating to have to start again numerous times with new characters and have to bring their stats up all over again…
Especially if you just want to get on with the story..
This game is very much an open world digimon version of Tamagotchi...
Either you like that play style or you don’t…
Don’t expect a deep combat system **** a typical jrpg where you have to slot in new items and moves… that’s not what this game is about
Feed your digimon, take them to the bathroom.. Don’t over train them... and use them as protection as you try to escape the digital world...
I give Digimon World: Next Order
a 7/10

Having played Cyber Sleuth like many other fans, I wanted to give this a go to satiate my desire for more Digimon content, but I was massively disappointed.
The first problem is that very little makes sense, especially in the beginning. Steep learning curves are one thing, but I find it so hard to see the allure of continuing with this game after a few hours. The menus are varied and many. Usually this plethora of content gives a game depth, but here it is thrust upon you almost immediately instead of thrusting you into the action sooner. Even the battle system makes little sense and boils down to holding a couple of buttons and waiting it out.
The single key element that has deterred from playing this game more than a few hours is that the two digimon accompanying me seem to require food and the toilet every bloody minute, meaning I have to divert from the gameplay. This may have seemed like a hip tamogotchi-esque element, but it's nothing short of annoying and a nuisance. I want to battle and raise my digimon like any other RPG, but this mechanic is an absolute inane chore. There do seem to be skills I can acquire that decrease these digimon needs, but the grind to get them sounds awful.
Which brings me to my final point - the grind. A LOT of grinding is to be done in this game from the very beginning. Fortunately the training is quick and smooth, however the issues mentioned above hinder progress somewhat.
Overall, I cannot recommend this game at all unless you have played the previous version on the PS1 and enjoyed it. If you seek a digimon experience then go for the cyber sleuth games. They are by no means perfect, but there is much more to enjoy than this messy, dense and inaccessible outing.

I can't really say much, yes the ammount of digimon you can raise is nice but nothing extraordinary, there's some nice new digimon that have never appeared on any game before and the game introduces interesting a new features that indeed make the game entertaining.
Now... it works exactly the same as the first digimon world.... Really? even a "prequel"(Digimon World Re: Digitize Decode for the 3DS) did a fairly better job in most aspects to the point of this game feeling like a downgrade.
Since it is an exclusive of a console that is all graphics nothing else you would expect things such as maps, items and models to be gorgeous or at least decent looking enough. They are not (some maps are really nice but some others do feel like the one's another game has and this game is mobile exclusive).
I would surely recommend playing it only if you have never played a Digimon game before so that your expectations can't get lowered by anything.
