fucking this. Digimon World 1 was a great game to start what could have been a great series. Sure, it was flawed and there were several annoying things, but the overall idea and its mechanics were interesting enough to keep you playing. Exploration was a thing and the world felt alive, also having to figure where to find several mons was a nice detail, they just needed to work on that and polish it.

For some reason, DW2 was two steps backwards in almost everything. Exploration was almost removed since you could only roam in interiors, movement was restricted to 4 directions, the dungeons were all repetitive and dull and the combat system stopped being in real time. I've replayed DW1 a lot of times, but DW2 is just annoying, it hasn't aged well.

I didn't play DW3 but I know it wasn't the same as the former games and DW4 was a fucking hack&slash? What the fuck? And it was entertaining (when I was 9) but it didn't feel as good as DW1.

Seriously, if they kept polishing the formula of DW1, today the Digimon games would be good enough to be considered the console version of Pokémon
