Cards on the table here – I know next to nothing about the Digimon franchise; much like when Pokemon first rose to prominence, I was just that little bit too old to get caught up in all the madness and, despite younger relatives owning the old Tamagotchi-like devices and watching the series on...

Digimon World: Next Order is a blast from the past for fans of the series & games, but a time killer for those who would just like to get through the main story.

Grinding for Evolutions

While still remaining true to what Digimon World 1 was (a Digimon raising game), this game has vastly improved what was lacking in the first installment. There are many more Digimon now, and the game mechanics are explained much better by the tutorial this time, although you'll find you might need...

So many Digimon; home base management is pretty fun

Slippery combat; overly dense menus; opaque mechanics; tons of roadblocks and difficulty spikes; repetitive gameplay cycle; banal story; grating sound design

Nice game for every year

Good game, was a big fan of Digimon World on the PS1. One negative aspect is that once one (or two which often happens) of your Digimon die, you have to train them for what seems like an hour or two straight before being able to progress through the story.
