    The 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.”

    • “The story is boring, and the mechanics feel stale and unoriginal.”
    • “The gameplay lacks innovation and fails to engage the player.”
    • “The controls are clunky, making it frustrating to navigate through the game.”
