Just got to the first boss fight and can say that so far I am really enjoying the game! I know there are a few recent mixed reviews so I'd like to give my thoughts on the game . .

game-play:

I believe if you understand that the game is largely focused on the visual novel genre you wont be disappointed. The story is good, the point and click style exploration feels very seamless, and the tactics style battles are fun. The battles do offer lots of options for people who wants a faster experience. You can increase battle speed and turn off animations to make them go by quick. They also offer difficulty settings so you can really customize how they run to fit how you want to play yourself. I like finding hidden battles and seeing what digimon are hanging around the area, trying to collect them is challenging but will be fun

visual novel aspect:

On the visual novel aspect itself I think it is a great addition to the genre, the art is beautiful and I really like all the characters already, even ones I didn't think I would like. They add enough things to do that make the story feel immersive and fun, I don't regret getting this game at all. If you are looking for something like Pokemon or that kind of game then I would probably not completely suggest this Digimon game over Cyber Sleuth, but if you enjoy good story telling and tactic style fights you will enjoy this one

I hope this helps anyone unsure if the game is for them or not! This game goes on sale very frequently so I suggest waiting for a sale if you want to pick it up

I had a really nice experience playing this game. The story is engaging and sometimes unexpected, while the gameplay is simple but still challenging on the hardest difficulty. I recommend this to everyone who likes turn-based RPGs and light novels. The gameplay can become repetitive if you want to see everything this game has to offer, so I will probably take a pause before my next two runs.

great story and fun rpg game
