Digimon World: Next Order

This Digimon Next Order bring back the nostalgic gameplay from Digimon Adventure PS1 with added improvements like 2 Digimon to bring to make them Cross Evo, I personally like the game because of this, and the fact the game is in Japanese Voice also add more to my pleasure, the translation is somewhat decent, though I would still prefer if the Digimon name all follow the JP version

I have to admit, Cyber Sleuth is probably better, but that’s just personal preference. I was lays bummed this never reached the Vita in English. This game is more Digimon goodness, and that is always welcome in my switch library. It’s a remake of an older game, but I didn’t get that sense in my playthrough. If you enjoy just grinding your digimon to max them out, this game has plenty of that to offer.

This game is great for fans of the franchise that want a little more micromanaging in their lives. It doesn't have an in-depth plot like later Digimon World games, but it's simple fun as you min/max your digimons on your search for that perfect team

For those who wanted a new game like Digimon World 1 from ps1. it's very similar with many more digimons. I really liked the story too

It's been over a year and a half since I finished this game, but it still sticks in my mind as one of my favorite games that I played last year. I was initially put off by the battle system, and it's admittedly not great, but once you get used to it, raising your monsters and exploring the world is a load of fun.

From the gameplay I've seen of the original Digimon World game, this one did seem pretty similar. However, I've not played that one myself, so I was reminded more of Monster Rancher. Like the Monster Rancher series, your monsters can train their stats through training machines, but can die after enough time passes, so efficient training is important. As you progress in the game, you can increase their lifespans, and each monster has the potential to start with better stats than the previous one started with, so there's a strong sense of progress as you go through monsters. Once you reach endgame, it's possible to extend your monster's lifespan faster than it depletes, meaning they can live indefinitely.

The world is quite big and opens up more and more as you progress. There are fast travel points, making it easy to get back to whichever location you want quickly. Various Digimon across the world will show up throughout the game with requests for you to fulfill. Upon completing their quests, they usually (maybe always? I don't quite remember) come back to your town and offer some sort of new service or improvement of an existing one, such as the fast travel station that becomes available early in the game.

My recommendation is to get the European version of the game instead of the North American version since you can get the NA preorder DLC for free.
