OK, real talk: I replayed Cyber Sleuth for a second time only so I could replay Hacker’s Memory for the first time. I know I could have just skipped it – and I think a small part of me would have thanked the rest of me for it; the narrative side doesn’t get any better with age or replays – but with the two games being as connected as they are, I figured it was a good idea to refresh my memory…after all, it had been a couple of years.

But this game is better in just about every way, and it had all led up to me reaffirming that with a replay. This is why I bought the games on the Switch in the first place. I adore this game.

Digimon is certainly an interesting franchise. Despite the surface similarities to Pokemon it was never actually intended to be a direct competitor – a fact that certain sections of the Pokemon fandom would do well to remember – and if you spend even a little time with the franchise you’ll realise it’s nothing like Pokemon at all.

For one thing, the games are much, much better.
