With Digimon Story: Time Stranger just a month away, promising to outshine its predecessors in every way, it feels like the perfect time to remember Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory and what made them shine.

I know, I know, these games get a lot of shit for heavy dialogue, rough translations, and repetitive dungeons, among other things. I don’t fully agree with all the criticism (not saying they’re perfect, far from it) but I genuinely love everything they offer. The stories unfold beautifully, starting with mundane conflicts that escalate into epic battles for the fate of two worlds, all while keeping the characters’ personal struggles front and center. The cast is fantastic, with Yuko and Erika as absolute highlights their depth and arcs are phenomenal. The sheer amount of Digimon to collect is incredible, I had a blast digivolving and de-digivolving, and I’m so glad Time Stranger is expanding on that rather than shrinking itt. The cyberpunk soundtrack perfectly matches the vibe, tying it all together.

As I said before Time Stranger it's gonna be huge and I'm down for it but I hope we all don't forget that Cyber Sleuth walked so Time Stranger could run. These games laid the groundwork for what’s coming, and I’ll always cherish them for that.

Now tell me do you have good memories from Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory? What was your final team? are you hyped for Time Stranger?
