Digimon Story Time Stranger

Really charming game with lots of customization of your favorite Digimon line. Speaking from narrative perspective, every "big" digimon you encountered along the way has their part in adding small message to the bigger themes of the game. They made every animation for each Digimon in the game (Low health animation, status effect animation, winning pose, etc) and that tells me they really cared about making a good monster taming game. Art style itself isn't anything groundbreaking but the cell shaded style really fits the Digimon and also the human character. Difficulty ranged from story mode to ultra hard where there's no option to run, no item usage, and also more aggressive enemy AI so there's difficulty for every playstyle. TLDR: Personal GOTY aside from E33 that excels in charming art style, really good PC port, and also focus lots to tell something meaningful (Keyword: Time).

Honestly can't understand how this is getting such glowing reviews. As far as the monster gathering mechanics go, it's good, but tedious in the sense you can't just capture something by fighting it once, you need to fight something over and over again sometimes accruing as little as 5% progress per kill, with 100-200% required to recruit it. The plot is good on paper, but poorly executed, I'm 60 hours in so far, and the game has taken me to every major area at least twice, and the latter half of the game has a nasty habit of having you replay the entire area you just completed due to time travel shenanigans. I'm engrossed enough to want to see how it ends, but not particularly happy about having to replay areas and trudge through anime slop filler conversations, not a single word that comes out of Inori's mouth has any bearing on the plot. The absolute worst thing about this game, are the digimon following you around. Now they had to make them follow you, because you're supposed to chat with them to change their personalities through a series of repetitive trite questions. However the further into the game you get the bigger most digimon are, they're programmed to run in front of you when you stop so they can be spoken to, but all this does is constantly block your camera, it's absolutely infuriating. So if you want a mid story, with cliche anime conversations, a series of decent but overused locales and a good but somewhat grindy monster collecting experience, check this game out.

Non è perfetto ma è un buon RPG a turni a tema Digimon. Ci sono delle incongruenze nella sceneggiatura e questo non mi fa dare di più perché a mio avviso la trama deve avere un senso e una logica. Non critico gli errori di trascrizione in italiano, ma se nella storia viene detta una cosa e poi dopo dieci minuti è come se non fosse mai stato detto mi sembra veramente strano.

La traducción es penosa, con más DLCs que un juego que Capcom y Ubisoft juntos y un horrible rendimiento de solo 30fps en PS5, hace que el juego que más esperaba este año sea un paquete para nada recomendable para los fans que un nuevo Digimon Story desde 2016.
