“If you enjoy the anime or played the original on PS1 you will really love this game. It's the same game as Digimon World PS1 except you have a second Digimon as a partner, Must play for any fan of Digimon.”
“Odd game this. Don't picture a pokemonesque creature collect and train game. It's more of a tamogotchi game, you raise a creature, it dies, its reborn stronger and you repeat the process until you beat the game. For me…”
“Merits: ▪ Deep pet raising system ▪ Many possible outcomes for evolution ▪ Post-game activities Flaws: ▪ Limited graphical options ▪ Repetitive, tedious & grindy gameplay ▪ Lack of quality of life features (mods can fix…”

“Digimon World: Next Order is honestly a wonderful game. What I loved the most is how, as you progress through the story, you also grow alongside your Digimon. It’s not just about leveling them up — it really feels like…”
“It's like taking part of an adventure in the anime. Quick tip: focus on battles rather than the gym, Digimon partners will get stronger faster.”
“Digimon World: Next Order feels like a modern nostalgia trip back to the classic PlayStation 1 Digimon World experience. If you grew up playing the original game, this instantly brings back that same feeling of raising…”

“I love this game so much. Just like the original Digimon World game on PS1 but with some quality of life improvements & better graphics. The Digimon game i always wanted <3 Runs great on steam deck too”

“A great game. It brings back nostalgi from the PSX era. It's more complex, letting you carry two digimon, with larger map and a wider variety of digimon”
“Really enjoy it.. nothing negative to say. It has a big world, tons of Digimon and same old story line (save the Digimon world and make your town bigger in the process) lol just wish they would make one with every…”

“A great sequel to the pet raising Digimon World style. Raising 2 Digimon makes it easier to grind for Digimons if that's what you wanna do. But if you ARE doing that, grab some mods, the grind is just too long.”

“Digimon World: Next Order on Steam is a niche but surprisingly absorbing monster-raising RPG that feels very different from more straightforward creature-collection games. Instead of building a traditional party and taking direct control in every battle, you raise two Digimon…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Another step into a Digimon game was done, and this game has its good but also questionable sides. Majorly, it's like a raising Digimon simulator game with a bit of story and city building included. I'd say like 75% raising Digimon, 15% city building, and 10% story stuff. Which…”
— a player, Steam review · 60 hrs played“I wanted to like this game so much because I loved the original Digimon World game for the PS1. Unfortunately this game falls short in so many aspects. I found managing two Tamagochi style Digimon at once to be so annoying, especially as the controls/menus aren't particularly…”
