Graphics – 5/5

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition game combines several kinds of art in a single shiny wrapper. It includes the unique style of the original anime, rendering all characters in 3D and placing them into a picturesque universe with detailed backgrounds. Action-free locations usually look like you’re watching an anime. Without going too much into detail – your eye will be satisfied. 

Gameplay – 4.5/5

If you think that Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition latest version is overpriced, you should consider that it provides you with both chapters of the franchise in one package. It means that you can choose to become a cyber detective to search for clues or a professional hacker to look inside the horrifying mysteries of digimons. Here you will lose the connection between reality and digital dimensions, so experiencing both roles is equally exciting. 

The roster of creatures features over 300 breeds of digimons so that you can collect them all, watch how they grow, and train them to raise your level. You are free to create custom teams of digimons to fight with enemies in a row of turn-based action-packed battles. Talking about drawbacks, they are present too. The title involves you in too much grinding sometimes even though we all know that it’s possible to make it a different way (Pokemon is a great example.) One more heavy argument against is that you can’t skip cutscenes. It’s just a badly mind-blowing issue. 

Controls – 5/5

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition gameplay threatens many players with intense action, though it doesn’t require you to play the piano roll of keys. Moreover, it has full controller support that is the best option for playing this title and any arcade franchise of a kind. 

Replay Value – 5/5

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition full game is significantly longer than the majority of AAA actions. The full story mode will take you around 20-25 hours to complete. Fortunately, the story doesn’t reduce momentum and manages to keep you involved until the last scene. 

The Bottom Line

Writing the Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition review was a nice time-travel back to times when the whole thing used to gain popularity in the West. At the same time, it demonstrates the evolution of the series in every aspect from story-making, to working with visuals. H.a.n.d., Inc just nailed it one more time!
