so while we got down time id like to push an rpg coming out in just a few weeks its a midquel to one of my favorite ps4 games
and the most stylish things to come out pre persona 5, im of course speaking of Digimon story Cyber sleuth: hackers memory
now even if you have zero nostalgia for digimon i cant stress that the first game was really good like REALLY good
something to note is that digimon while marketed for kids in the west, never was originally in japan it was for young adults, which is why the first cyber sleuth got more smt than most persona games, and why people got super suprised by the first game(which oddly enough means the series has unintentionally grown with its audience in the west despite always being this way in japan)
not to mention the side quests which range from heart warming to soul destroyingly BLEAK.
now things i should mention because cyber sleuth is an rpg with a lot of depth should you look for it
1- your digimon have max levels that you can increase by de digivolving them down a stage and then digivolving them back up once you hit the requirements, this is important because unlike say pokemon msot digimon dont have set paths(as a matter of fact think of the digivolution line as a tree theres like 5 roots and with enough navigation you can move a digimon from one end of the tree all the way to the other, and theres LOADS of branches
2- you have three digimon out at all times and they take their turns ala final fantasy 10(the best part about that game)
whats more when you use a turn to switch digimon out of your reserves you can switch out as many party members as you desire
at a time
3- your party is limited by your memory stat see each digimon has a cost to put into your party and as you progress through the game youll get memory up items, this is important for team planning as you might royaly screw yourself over if your not carefull
4- there are these things called digimon farms, think pc's from pokemon but with the pelago pre gen 7, aving digimon in your farm is super benefitical as they can be sent out to find items, renewable sidequests(read easy money and exp) or make items(which are influenced by the digimons personalities which can be changed later on in the game)
5- this game has game overs so save often
6- the music is fantastic
thats all ill say on the subject outside of one thing PREORDER hackers memory is any of this sounds intresting namco is ****ty about preorder dlc(as in they often never release it later) so dont make the mistake of not getting the preorder dlc digimon
