What people are saying
Overwhelmingly positive, with praise for story, gameplay, and nostalgia.
Players overwhelmingly praise the game's story, gameplay, and nostalgic value, often comparing it favorably to recent Pokémon titles. Many call it the best Digimon game to date, with deep turn-based combat and a compelling narrative. [3][7][15][28]
However, some players criticize the monetization, including day-one DLC and a high price tag, as well as the lack of offline play and post-game content. A few find the game 'half-baked' despite its strengths. [4][33][34][36]

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm torn on this one. It's the best digimon ever made. It's higher effort than any pokemon game ever made. The story is great, the game is beautiful, the world feels alive. But it feels dirty. The monetization would make EA applaud. Day 1 outer dungeon DLC practically required for the higher difficulties. They shove DLC in multiple in-game menus. The post game is non-existent, and you're going to have to buy that separately as another DLC in January. So although the game itself deserves a…

neutral · AI labelView post →Listen, I actually really like this game. Very fun and great story. The only reason I am not recommending is because of the inability to play offline. I usually play games on my Steam Deck and saw that this game was good on the deck. Played it from my couch without issue. Sadly, went on a plane trip and realized I could not load the game. I'm not one to pay for airplane wifi because I know I'm just going to be gaming so I was very disappointed when I could not play this game without internet.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am going to steal 2 lines from people I saw in other reviews. This is better than anything GameFreak has put out in the last 10 years and this is the game Pokemon fans have been wanting. I am unfamiliar with Digimon mostly, I haven't really done much with it since I was a kid, but the game has some adult themes, combat/animations are fun, the game is mostly voice acted, and there are so many Digimon to play around with. If you are looking for a monster battling game but are tired of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You've probably seen a lot of praise for this game and how it's the best Digimon game ever made - and that's absolutely true, but I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: it's still "mid". It's a good game, but not great. I've played all previous instalments of Digimon World/Story, and the best way to describe Time Stranger would be 'half baked'. For every positive selling point, there is a glaring asterisk can't be ignored. - Trailers show a beautiful open world of vast environments - but in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GOATED game. It's almost like digimon spent their time and effort making their games good instead of patenting game mechanics and suing competitors.

neutral · AI labelView post →Love the game! Just a small suggestion for the devs — could you add a shuffle option for the music? There are so many great tracks (even DLC ones!) and it’d be awesome to hear them all randomly instead of just one.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This hit me right in the nostalgia. I grew up with the anime, and it felt great to finally field the Digimon I watched on TV. First thing I did was chase Patamon so I could build toward Seraphimon; childhood dream unlocked. Combat is classic turn-based: easy to learn, but on Hard it can be punishing in a good way. Turn order, buffs/debuffs, and smart team comps really matter. The quick battle option for weaker encounters is a nice quality-of-life touch. One heads-up: the personality…

neutral · AI labelView post →I am very conflicted about this game even though I had quite a lot of fun with it. If I had the option to give it a neutral review, I would have chosen that. For starters, the pricing policy of Bandai Namco is indefensible in my opinion. While Digimon Story Time Stranger certainly has the highest production value of any game in the franchise, it still is a AA game that somehow asks for 120€ for its „ultimate edition“ to get the full content. For reference, this is more than Baldur’s Gate 3 and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite details from the interviews, Digimon Riding has no actual function in Digimon Story Time Stranger, you can play the entire game without ever using it. They just wanted to do something cool just to make fans happy, so they did it remaking scenes from the anime. #Digimon

neutral · AI labelView post →I love the base game. Great story, great characters, great experience. Highly recommend the game. For all that's holy, DO NOT BUY THE SEASON PASS! All 3 of the DLCs are cookie cutter in design, and even the additional digimon aren't worth the price tag, especially when 5 of 15 of them are Omnimon variants. Yes, I just came from finishing DLC3 to post a positive review about Digimon STS but to also warn against the season pass. For as passionate as I am about the base game, the DLCs instill…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a long time die hard Pokemon fan, this game brings me great pleasure and pain. I say pain because it shows me that for all these years Pokemon could've made a fantastic monster battler game but truly has just fed us the bare minimum. I haven't played a Digimon game since the early 2000s but I can say this one is hands down the best I have ever played. I urge anyone who enjoys these types of games to give this a try. I find myself struggling to put it down and I cannot say that for a lot of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is pretty solid, but it's definitely not 120 dollars + a ♥♥♥♥ ton of other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ microtransactions solid. If everything was included in the base game for a reasonable 60 bucks, I'd recommend it, as it stands, only get this heavily discounted. The business practices here are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scummy as hell and turn me off entirely. 30 bucks for a season pass that doesn't include ANY current DLC? 8 bucks for an exp boost? 25 dollars in costumes? Nah, ♥♥♥♥ Bandai Namco.

Huge collection of viable monsters, cool main storyline with full synch (side quests have none), creative map design, minigames, tons of bonus challenges, a proper frame rate, ... This game is a love letter to the franchise and an easy 9/10 at least, definitely worth the price tag. Speaking of money, tho: DO NOT FEEL FORCED TO BUY THE DLCs. They add nothing to the game, except bonus…

neutral · AI labelView post →Bottom line up front: I recommend this game, but only on sale. Full disclosure, I love Digimon. I have over 140 hours in Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory, and I grew up playing Digimon World 3. With that in mind, I think this is a genuinely great Digimon game. The Digimon themselves are easily the highlight. The models look fantastic, they all have voice lines, and the battle animations are smooth and high quality. Honestly, it feels like most of the budget went into making high fidelity…

unlabelledView post →There's a Digimon in this game that teleports you through a maze. To have him teleport you, you must spout a bland platitude at him, such as "love is always the answer". This Digimon cringes at these cliches so much he instinctively teleports when he hears them, taking you with him. It's a pretty funny bit! This Digimon would hate 80% of the story of Digimon Story Time Stranger. Time Stranger is a fascinating game. It reminds me of something like Soul Hackers 2 or Tokyo Mirage Sessions,…
