    Hacker's Memory follows the same pattern that the previous title had but at the same time going one step beyond. A great combat system, an interesting story and characters and mostly the great soundtrack, with a few new themes added, and also a better pace on completing side missions complete an amazing title in this franchise.

    Although Digimon: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory is a blast to play and gives gamers a lot to do, it's essentially just more of the same.

    Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker’s Memory is a worthy successor. It is not a jaw-dropping, life-changing piece, but it is an enjoyable experience especially for a Digimon fan. The story is engaging from the first minute of gameplay and I personally found it difficult to turn the game off to go to bed. Overall, Hacker’s Memory is addicting and extremely satisfying, and here’s to hoping for a similar title in the near future.

    Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory may not be a true sequel to the 2016 original, but it’s a better version of a familiar experience. The visuals don’t shine as brightly on PS4 and players will have to wander through a lot of recycled content before encountering much new. While it would have been nice to have new areas, Hacker’s Memory is carried by its profoundly personal story, engrossing combat and progression mechanics, and various quality of life improvements. While newcomers may find the experience a little confusing, returning players will appreciate meeting up with returning characters and experiencing the enhancements implemented to improve the experience. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory may not be a true sequel, but the quality put into the story, combat and progression make it a worthy successor.

    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.

    It feels so much like the original that even its few new additions like new Digimon and Dominion Battles start to slowly but surely feel less impactful over time. All the same charm, quirks, and missteps of the original game are captured all over again in Hacker’s Memory but for a full $59.99 price tag it just feels like this sequel could have, and should have, brought more to the table.

    A confusing product. It’s too complex and longwinded for kids, but too easy, repetitive, and derivative for most adults. The game was made with fans of the original Cyber Sleuth in mind, but will frustrate those same fans with its rampant rehashing. Hardcore Digimon devotes may find something to enjoy here, but most will want to forget Hacker's Memory.

Questo é IL gioco che rappresenta meglio il franchise dei Digimon . Prende un bel po' dal prevedessero, in alcuni casi anche troppo ...però ci sono nuove location, molti più di Digimon, storia più convincente .

    Anche se il gioco rende molto meglio se giocato su PS Vita, su ps4 é un po' uno spreco vero e proprio

    Sadly some dungeons are quite plain, but the overall games absolutely makes for it. I think Hackers Memory was a great way to end the 2010s for the monco genre. If was not for Ni No Kuni, and Pokémon Black and White, it should be the most competent game at it for its time.
    I totally would recommend it for frustrated Pokémon fans that did not liked Sword and Shield. And its great for beginners at the franchise too, it was designed to be a entrance for new Digimon fans.    … Expand

I was reallyI have not watched Digimon or even observed the series in a long while. That being said, I picked this up to see how it was. I was really surprised at the new Digimon being added, but even more to see all the ones from my childhood was included. I can also appreciate the lines being all over the place, however, I do believe it messes with the lore of the franchise. The fact about ten in training levels can get you about the entire field guide or at a great chunk of it. It seems to not know if it wants to have dating sim elements, by teasing the development of different relationships. The story is a really weird string of somewhat random events at times, with some somewhat cool side quests. One thing I still find extremely inconsistent is the ending, not just inconsistent with the game, but the entirety of Digimon lore. I find the collecting of Digimon to be the biggest draw. That is fun, the biggest drawback is the requirements to get what you might want, might not be worth it, as you might find that what it can evolve to, might be better than what you want it to evolve to. Some things are interesting to try. The adventure may be quite the ride, it can be frustrating, but that is the challenge. Its fun, and I enjoyed it.… Expand

If you are a Digimon fan and you liked the old Digimon DS games that's basically that only in 3D with nice graphics and a decent story. In my opinion this game is a 7,5/10 but because I can't give this score I will give it a 7/10 just so that you know.… Expand
