Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory Reviews
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory offers an entertaining alternative to Pokémon, but at the same time is too lazy in trying to drag you into its dense cybernetic networks. Despite good battle system and a solid collection of digital monsters, the brainchild of Media Vision lacks interesting ideas, polishing and really captivating story.

The appeal of Hacker's Memory will hinge greatly on your acceptance of the grind and your appreciation for Digimon as a franchise. It's fun collecting and fighting with the huge range of Digimon available, and it's wrapped up in a story that, while a little slow off the mark, does develop into an interesting exploration of themes. Being squarely aimed at players of the original Cyber Sleuth, it's unfortunate that so much of the world is straight-up re-used from that game.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory is a confusing product. It's too complex and longwinded for kids, but too easy, repetitive, and derivative for most adults. The game was made with fans of the original Cyber Sleuth in mind, but will frustrate those same fans with its rampant rehashing. Hardcore Digimon devotes may find something to enjoy here, but most will want to forget Hacker's Memory.
In the end, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory feels a lot like the previous title.
