Digimon World: Next Order excels with a fairly easy combat system and simple gameplay mechanics, but I was let down by the repetitiveness of the world and environments, as well as some pretty unresponsive controls (mostly in dialogue sitations). The nostalgia factor and the excitement of evolving my digital partners was what kept me playing, but the drawn-out travel methods and consistent grinding in training didn’t impress me too much. Digimon World: Next Order is a bit of a mixed bag – die hard fans will likely love it, but newcomers may be turned away by some of the gameplay...

Speaking as someone who grew up with nostalgic feelings towards the Digimon World franchise, even though I knew they weren’t exactly good games, I must ask to my fellow Digimon fans: is there a singular staple title in that particular subseries? One you think about it and tell yourself, “this is what Digimon World is all about”? I ask this because the franchise’s name feels less like a cohesive series and more like a catch-all term, with games ranging from dungeon crawlers to Gauntlet...

Digimon World: Next Order is a grindy, but wonderful monster-collecting RPG that runs beautifully on the Steam Deck! Some changes to the settings can enhance the experience, but it isn't necessary.

Digimon World: Next Order is a game that fulfills every Digimon fans needs and is also a fun introduction for newcomers in gaining a deeper understanding of different Digimon throughout the Digital World. Though this game is a bit slow-paced, and becoming used to the combat system will take time, witnessing the progress made in both your tamer and partner Digimon before your eyes will make the tedious grind worth it. Many may not enjoy the of the virtual pet duties featured in the game, but if they are able to get past this, they will certainly enjoy the refreshing...

Next Order isn’t without flaws, but it’s exactly the kind of game the Digimon World series needed after a regional hiatus. While the unconventional combat and grind-heavy skill training aren’t likely to deter fans of the franchise, newcomers might find some of the game’s quirks unwelcoming. As such, Digimon World: Next Order likely won’t appeal to everyone, but the game is something longtime fans of the series will have no problem dumping hours upon hours into.

Digimon World: Next Order takes the classic V-pet formula and brings it into this century packing it with plenty of variety, a fun storyline, and plenty of interesting mechanics to discover and master.

Digimon World: Next Order is a different breed of RPG in a pretty stagnant genre, and for what it tries and does to bring this old favourite to modern times, I have to commend it somewhat. But what it does is in places archaic, or not explained well enough to be managed properly without a guide.

Throughout my 35 hours of playing Digimon World: Next Order I began to feel like I did the first time a discovered the series. Every Digimon that joined my team made an impact on me and I wanted them all to be the best they can be. The game can be frustrating, but in the end there's nothing like raising two healthy Digimon. The old mechanics of the Digimon World franchise prove to stand the test of time and can now be experienced by a new generation of gamers to discover and immerse themselves for hours in the digital world.

Next Order’s sound is fantastic, with a number of songs that stick with you even after you’re done playing. Battle themes are energetic with a bit of optimism, while the map areas all have different variations for day, evening, and night time. The voice acting in the game is quite well done, as each dub actor really nails the look and feel of their characters. The voiced Digimon are great as well, and it’s particularly nice to see your Partner Digimon make more animalistic noises.

If you were a youth of the 90’s like myself then you understand it was an amazing time, Dragon Ball, Pokémon, Sailor Moon and Digimon were the rulers of television. I had Pikachu’s and Patamon’s adorning all corners of my room and I spent endless hours playing numerous games from the franchises. While it may now be 2017, not much has changed it would seem; Pokémon are still trying to make us catch ’em all, Dragon Ball are still the gods of fighting and Digimon have a whole new wor...
