Patamon looks like he gets up to a ton of animation-related shenanigans in the second spot in the marching order. I approve.

The game is pretty good at separating the two halves of its gameplay.

You know, I'm still up in the air over whether a sidegame activity that only benefits sidegame activities is better or worse than one that affects the main game directly.

I do like the idea of your starter town having more shops that unlock as you progress in the game and find poo poo.

So there's a static cast of NPCs who move through the game along with you?

That's actually kind of nice. Catching up with your old friends is always kind of a neat part of your Pokemons and such.

Of course it would help if we had any motivation at all to interact with those yahoos.

Are you... man, I can't even tell if you're early in the plot or late, but it seems early, and it's good that you've got the choice opened up for more Digimon than just your starters.

This game doesn't have plot points so much as it has a plot shotgun with a ridiculously loose choke.

I love how you fight the boss and then when you're high on victory, he goes, "oh wait you have to go get that keycard".

I can see how they were trying to differentiate the Bug Maze from the rest of the game.

Unfortunately, bullshit isn't really different from bullshit.

Yeah, the 180 seconds is probably for keeping Digimon out in the real world.

Though the AoA doesn't seem to have any trouble.

Con...gratulations? I guess?

Man, the game doesn't even give you an alternate credits or a useless key item?
