Best Digimon Games of All Time

The Digimon series started out as a Tamagotchi-like toy experience and beloved anime franchise but soon came out with its own set of games. Here are the best Digimon games we recommend based on what you’re looking for.

Best Digimon Games for Action Fans: Digimon World 3

For those looking for the best Digimon games where they have a bit more action, Digimon World 3 is the one for you. It may not have the graphics of the later titles, but it makes up for this with engaging combat and some of the best exploration in the series. It was first released for the original PlayStation in 2001.

Best Game for Monster Collectors: Digimon World Dawn & Dusk

Digimon draws many comparisons to Pokemon, and these two Nintendo DS titles feel like some of the closest to Game Freak’s experiences. These two games have more than 400 Digimon for players to collect. If you want to be the very best like no one ever was and tame ‘em all, these two titles are the ones to pick up.

Best Game for Story: Digimon Survive

This gorgeous visual novel-meets-tactical RPG experience may have some issues in the gameplay department, but it nails the idea of a storyline and characters better than any other game in the series. It essentially acts as a remake of the original Digimon Adventure anime but with an entirely new cast. It is dark, mature, and the kids can even die depending on your choices!

Best Overall Digimon Game: Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition

Those who want the total package should check out Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition. You get turn-based RPGs for the price of one, which is already nice, and both have the right mix of gameplay, story, characters, and Digimon-collecting. Both the original and Hacker’s Memory offer the finest overall interactive experience in the series.

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition is available on Nintendo Switch and PC. Both games are also available separately on PS4 and Vita.
