Jijimon requests your aid in uncovering the mystery of the program and rebuilding the Digimon City. The city has seen better days and a strange program appears to be infecting Digimon, causing Machinedramon to appear across the land wreaking havoc. After a brief tutorial of the battle mechanics, you’ll meet Jijimon: leader of the Digital World’s city. Your player character (boy or girl) is sucked in to the Digital World and caught in an in-between space. Still, it’s something you should be aware of. The frames don’t particularly affect the gameplay at all and I had no crashes in my time with the game, but the slow-down / stutter was obvious. Especially when you have large Digimon taking up most of the camera at the back. The Ohguino Wastelands is a prime culprit. There’s a noticeable stutter in the frame rate when you reach certain areas on Playstation 4. If nothing else, it’s great to watch your management of this world and your partners bear fruit. Nevertheless, it’s enjoyable to watch your city expand and seeing the Digimon evolve. Ultimately, Next Order suffers from low fidelity even compared to Cyber Sleuth, and the way the camera works in tight spaces and battles can be incredibly awkward. An early memory in this sixty-plus hour game. I have to admit that I was sold when my Digimon evolved in to a MachGaomon: a wolf wearing shades and a championship belt attached to a jet-pack. The sheer variety of Digimon range from the cool to the absurd. Granted, some areas don’t get the same treatment (Absolute Zero is essentially just snow and ice) but I appreciate where they put the extra effort in. There are aspects all over Digimon world that give the regions a digital feel. The Nigh-Plains have a colourful rock filled with gems to mine. The desert is littered with dead servers that over-heated. The fire, ice, grass, mountainous and desert regions make an appearance, though they have their digital twists. Taking place in the Digital World, the standard JRPG tropes apply. It’s nowhere near the fidelity I’d personally like, nor is every camera angle a joy, but it nails the source material. Digimon World Next Order is a faithful depiction of Digimon.
