Digimon Story Time Stranger

I would not recommend the game at its full price. I would absolutely recommmend it when its on sale. Mid to late game the game starts showing its flaw. Vast majority of side quest are really shallow and short which does not feel right for a game of this scope and demanding full price. In addition you revisit some area quite a bit so it doesn't feel like having a grand adventure compared to other RPG. But that aside this game has incredible freedom to digimon build, the stat limit is to 9999 and any disc moves can be equipped. Digimon also features the most convoluted evolution web I have ever seen and I believe its possible to get almost any digimon. There is over 400 digimon, I do wish there more unique move but vast majority of digimon just have one unique move tied to each digimon. However I can forgive this limitation as every digimon is animated in a lively manner. Combat wise, its is standard turn based affair with attack split into physical and magical type. With elemental type matching and rock paper scissor additional typing on the side. Speed determining the order. Stat modifier and status effect. Things you seen before in turn based RPG. There is an ingame time-speed modifier which can skip animation. Very much for appreciated for grinds or long fight. I've played additional 44 hours since review and finished the game. My stance is still the same. Great game but not worth full price. Majority of my time was spent in the menu figuring out digievolution path. The DLC are absolutely not worth the price unless you like the unlocked digimon. The story and area are very short and shallow with a lot of recycled plot point and areas.
