News:: Review: Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory

A little over twenty years ago now, Digimon would hit the scene in the form of a spinoff series of Tamagotchi toys. Following their popularity would come an animated series, the combined success of which sent these digital monsters to new found heights. Heights that would include a film, with teenagers trying to prevent Japan from getting nuked again, and a plethora of video games. As great as the show was, it fell out of favor for me as I got older, and the Tamagotchi stuff never captured my interest to begin with.

The video games on the other hand, always kept me coming back. Whether it was the classic PlayStation Digimon World games that had you raising and growing your Digimon. Or the recent turn-based RPG action of Digimon Story: Cybersleuth, taking the series in a new, and somewhat more mature, direction with its storytelling, very much reminding me of the Persona series. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory continues this trend, introducing new gameplay mechanics, over 90 new Digimon, and the ability to transfer over your save file from the original Cyber Sleuth (including all your Digimon info, hours played, and evolution trees from that save file).

Hacker's Memory will come off feeling like a case of deja-vu for many that played the original game, but, it's a case of deja-vu I absolutely welcome.
