story20 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory" effectively fills in plot gaps from the first game while introducing new villains and side cases, creating an engaging narrative that runs parallel to the original. However, players unfamiliar with the first game may find the storyline somewhat confusing due to its reliance on established characters and plot points. While the plot is generally well-received, some reviewers noted a lack of the original's distinct wackiness and criticized the reuse of assets.
“It fills in a lot of the plot gaps of the first game and continues the story of some side cases too.”
“That said, it has an excellent original plot (and new villains) on top of that.”
“Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory isn’t so much the Majora’s Mask as it hoped to be, but the story here grabbed me from the start and the pace kept me in.”
“The game takes place during the events of the first game and lots of characters and plot points cross over, so if you haven't played the first one, the storyline could get a little confusing.”
“The story is boring and the mechanics are stale and boring.”
“Hoping this is a one-off and we get a proper Digimon story game for PS4 next time.”
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory Review
This is more Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth which is great but also has a lot of reused assets sadly.

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker’s Memory isn’t so much the Majora’s Mask as it hoped to be, but the story here grabbed me from the start and the pace kept me in. The scope of the game earns it being more than DLC, but the huge leaning on reused assets will quickly tire a returning player. Take it in stride however, and Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker’s Memory is every bit the decent RPG that the previous game was.
70%Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory Review
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory is an impressive take on the monster collecting Japanese RPG format. Collecting and levelling up the digimon may seem a little too simple for die hard genre enthusiasts, but the typing, elements, and memory limit all help to add extra layers of depth to the gameplay. The DigiFarm and the interactions with your monsters also help create a bond, making them more than just tools at your disposal - something that other similar games miss. Hacker’s Memory is an enjoyable romp overall for both Digimon fans and non-fans alike.
