Never loving beat it when I was a kid because I kept evolving into Numemon, that drat green poop slug. This time though, I'm using a digivolution guide written in 2021, one that actually has correct information, and I will be getting good mons.

I loved that game but it was so hard for child me. What platform are you playing it on?

I've got one of the original PS3s that can actually read PS1 discs, so I'm doing it that way. I think it's...a little imperfect, as I'm noticing some font glitches, as well as a small void in the town square of File City.

Playing it as an adult it doesn't seem as hard as it used to be, though I'm fully confident I'd be getting a ton of Numemon without a digivolution guide. There's simply no way to know in-game what a digimon's Stats, Care Mistakes, and Weight should be at, not even getting into Bonus conditions.

It was a horror game where I didn't need to be in constant anxiety worrying a monster would jump out at me and I'd have to fight it because that stuff was only in the cutscenes. Gave me time to brace myself.

I guess… haven’t played the quarry. But 90 minutes into this new one has been about 80% walking up a trail with no tension and somehow no QTEs, it’s so hosed up!!

technically every character is a son or daughter or other of someone

now if we're talking worst i have to award both Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima for being simultaneously the worst sons and the worst fathers

Because I played through Elden Ring all at once at release over a very short period like some sort of wild fever dream I’ve forgotten so many of the smaller things so I’m combing over every single area again and it’s still so goddamn satisfying, what a game. I’m also v glad I went for a sorcery build this time as it’s a ton of fun and I can’t wait to find the wilder spells

Gladly, I love rambling on about games I like

Started out with just getting an Agumon (his name's Terry) and picking an evo for him, Meramon. To actually evolve you need to meet 3 out of these 4 conditions: Stats, Weight, Care Mistakes, and Bonus. He required 100 STR, >=5 care mistakes, and 15-25 weight. Since I didn't want to make my dude poop on the floor a bunch I opted to go for Bonus instead of care mistakes. For bonus, basically every digivolution has a bunch of random other conditions for evolving, and meeting at least 1 of them meets the Bonus condition. In Meramon's case, one of his bonuses was 10 battles, and I figured that was easy enough.

Anyways a lot of the early game is easy enough. Basically just ran around recruiting a bunch of the early digimon and had a good time. The game at least has the common sense of making all your early digimon the practically vital upgrades: Agumon runs the Bank, Coelamon runs the item shop (and Betamon, like 3 screens away, upgrades it), and Palmon gives a meat farm upgrade. Plus you can get the clinic if you run through a canyon where Centarumon takes up a sniper position and shoots you until you reach him. I...don't think he'd be my first choice of doctor, personally, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. On the other hand, you can run into Pixiemon early on and man if you don't know what's up he'll ruin your poo poo. We're talking a dude with 6000 hp when your attacks do like 70 hp worth of damage, would not recommend that fight

I think I'm gonna try to digivolve my Meramon into an Andromon, because I think it's actually doable. His stats requirement is kinda insane and I don't think I can do it, but other than that he just needs <=3 care mistakes, 35-45 weight, and either 95+ discipline or 30+ battles. It feels a bit like cheating, but I don't think anything explicitly says you have to meet the stats requirement, just 3/4 of the requirements, so....

oh and the weird thing about the digimon world early game is that, you start in native forest and have to unlock other areas. however your options are to go through drill cave, which requires you to fight a boss and then wait a few days for them to finish the tunnel. Or, you go to Coela point between the hours of 3pm - 9pm, find Coelamon who takes you to tropical jungle (this also, somehow, fixes the bridge to Tropical Jungle). I feel like this leaves you in a weird spot where, if you don't find Coelamon (very probably considering he's only there at a specific time of day) you can end up just, kinda stuck in a handful of screens for a few days. I guess it's nothing, just strikes me as a weird game design quirk

Hey I'm gonna shill for Roadwarden. People should play Roadwarden, it's really cool.

It's a text-based RPG (with some small pixel art location and item images but that's about it) where you're sent to a backwater peninsula in the North of the continent ostensibly to act as roadwarden (a wandering ranger/messenger/problem solver) but in reality because your merchant's guild paymasters back in the big city want to case the place and work out how they can best exploit it. In addition to this you have a personal goal that you select at character creation, and the game will rapidly drop a number of central mysteries on you that you can choose to explore, or not.



After that you're left to your own devices in this fantasy world. Most of the game is managing your resources in the form of health, armor and cleanliness as you travel the roads, and just time generally - a lot of quests are time sensitive, each in game day is finite (and you need to be back at safe shelter before sundown to avoid getting hosed up), and you only have 40 in game days total before you need to return to the city and the game ends. The other half is managing relationships as you encounter various characters and settlements. Most people are slow to trust you, and it takes work to make them open up and start telling you the truth, and they'll remember if you lied to them or acted against their interests.



For those of you who absolutely hate the idea of a time limit, there's a difficulty mode that removes it, makes certain quests a little easier to progress and gives you a little more money at game start. I'd personally encourage you to play through with it on though, I think it adds a lot. The game world is interesting and well written, familiar fantasy without feeling overly generic and cliche, and I found the prose lean but evocative and only noticed one or two typos in my playthrough. Some of your choices are just for fluff (filling in backstory in a similar way that games like Kentucky Route Zero and Norco have played with) but many, many others are hard decisions that have consequences. I managed to solve one or two of the big mysteries in the setting but there are plenty that eluded me and I plan to do another replay some time this year to try and get to the bottom of more of it.

I have written significantly more words about this game over here if anyone wants more detail.

There's a demo available as well.
