The value story

November 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $9.59. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 27 in the 4 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 25 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fuga: Melodies of Steel ($39.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Lost Eidolons ($34.99, scores 22).

6 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 299 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 31 hours. Doing everything runs 72, 2.3 times as long.

What players say

I have been obsessed with this game on playstation for years and after my ps4 bricked I got the perfect excuse to buy it here, I grew up on digimon and this felt so close to the original series with a dark twist for more mature fans.

Amazing opening song, love it and had it on repeat since I started playing, the story is pretty good, the combat is pretty basic, but not too bad
TifaRecommendedafter 42h4 found this helpfulRead on Steam
I love Digimon but after 7 hours of suffering I'm throwing in the towel. The story is infuriatingly slow-paced, constantly retreading the same talking points between characters while taking ages to get anywhere. In between story beats are "exploration" moments which are just point-and-click segments to find a few hidden items and additional dialogue that doesn't progress the story at all. It feels like pointless...
