The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in May 2025. It has been discounted 51 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Monster Sanctuary ($19.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Fuga: Melodies of Steel ($39.99, scores 69).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 87.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 75 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 544 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 87.8 hours; clearing it takes 181, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

7 years after release, 507 people were playing it when we last checked, on Sep 30, 07:46 UTC.

What players say

Intro Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition is two games in one package, including Cyber Sleuth, and the sequel Hacker's Memory that happens concurrently with Cyber Sleuth, with many same characters making appearances. Cyber Sleuth took me 72 hours to finish, including some level grinding, and though Hacker's Memory is technically two chapters shorter, I ended up spending more time because I did more level...

Scratch that digimon itch that i get from time to time but playing it AFTER playing story time stranger wasn't the best, as that shows how many QOL changes this game lacks
CrimeLifeRecommendedafter 34h3 found this helpfulRead on Steam
I had fun, there is so much it can improve on when it comes to QoL but it put forth a lot of neat idea's (though some of those are inherint to digimon such as anything akin to the ABI system.) The story is pretty neat though does suffer from both it's localization and cowardice on part of the writters. (I was convinced for most of the game the reason most of the dialouge choices made no sense and ocasional chat GPT...
