I'm writing this review as someone whose first Digimon experience has been playing this game(s). Bought it during one of the Steam Sales, and I can say for sure it was worth it. Overall gametime between the main game (Cyber Sleuth) and the DLC (Hacker's Memory) is about 100h, and each of them we're filled with fun, joy, good and, at times, sad moments.
Gameplay itself is pretty good, and I liked the combat system (normally 3v3 with some exceptions) and that you can carry up to 11 Digimon in your party (as long as you have enough memory), which allows for different strategies and lineups. Both stories are really good (IMO), but if I have to choose between Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory, I'd choose the latter. While slightly shorter, I feel like the characters are better (not that they're bad in Cyber Sleuth), as is the story, plus there are a couple of QOL features that improve playability.
Now, while the game (or games, in this case) are really good, they have some flaws or weak points, like the ABI system (you'll have to digievolve and de-digievolve Digimon a few times if you want to get some of the stronger ones), or some of the dialogue bits being quite long (sometimes unnecessarily long). Also, while the text and subtitles are in English, voices are still in Japanese. At first it may sound weird, but you get used to it.
Graphics are nothing special, but also not bad. The best part are the Digimon themselves, especially some of the animations, but the main characters also look good. Peformance is also fine, even if the game is capped at 60 FPS, but it's a stable 60 FPS 90% of the time (30 FPS on some cutscenes). Thankfully, even lower-end hardware should be enough for a playable experience. For Nvidia users, make sure to disable Threaded Optimization to avoid crashing on certain parts of the game!
And that's my review. Overall, a 9 out of 10, and a nice entry point for anyone new to the Digimon universe!
