There's so much more I could say about this game, but I don't want to give away everything to prospective players. I will say that this is one of the better games in the series as far as gameplay goes. It doesn't have quite the same depth as Trio of Towns, but it gets pretty close, and it has you think about your farming differently than usual since you want to plan around not just the seasons, but the weekly bazaar. I like the characters, though I think I liked the ones in the 3DS entries better than this one. Overall I'm really enjoying my time in Zephyr Town and am looking forward to quite a bit more. If you like farming games, this one will definitely not disappoint.
This game is utterly fantastic. I went into it thinking that if it was even half as good as Cyber Sleuth, it would be amazing, but aside from my distaste for launch-DLC locking quests behind it, and the fact that I like the characters a bit better in Cyber Sleuth, this game exceeds it in every way. The story is great, the world feels alive, the visuals are vastly improved, and it has a lot of quality-of-life improvements that previous entries in the series lack. It's extremely approachable whether you're a longtime Digimon fan, or entirely new to the franchise, and it manages to be challenging at times throughout(unless you go overboard on grinding, which you definitely can if you want an easier experience). This is the definitive Digimon game, and I cannot recommend it enough.
Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory are fantastic games. I'd argue that as far as Digimon video games go, they're the absolute best we've got thus far (though I guess we'll have to see if Time Stranger takes its throne!) It's one of my favorite games of all time. The playthrough I did before writing this was my 8th one, and it likely won't be my last. There are some issues with story pacing as a result of it making you stop to do side quests, but that's nothing new, as previous games in the Digimon Story issue did the same. It improves upon previous entries in significant ways, having a much more engaging story and being significantly less of a grind. It shows its limitations a bit, the result of being a decade old handheld title, but I don't think that hurts the overall experience much. I'd absolutely suggest anyone who likes Digimon pick this up, and even say that it could be worth a play for someone who just likes monster collectors and JRPGs in general.
All in all I am a very big fan of Anode Heart. It's been quite some time since I enjoyed a game as much as this one, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone that's a fan of the Digimon World games, or of monster collecting RPGs in general. I've only given a very high level overview here since I think anyone interested should get a chance to experience it for themselves. But if you don't want to take my word for it, the game has a free demo, so go ahead and give it a shot yourself!
