Pocket Techniques gave it 8/10 as nicely – and whereas it loved the sport, it did not fairly scratch the Digimon “itch” fairly just like the World video games. In saying this, it nonetheless thought it was a “actually spectacular” recreation:
“The colourful colors, dynamic soundtrack, and suitably grim story make Digimon Survive a really spectacular recreation. It doesn’t fairly scratch the digital itch I’ve for the collection just like the World video games do, however it does what it units out to do fantastically.”
PlayStation Life-style gave the sport 7/10. It loved the story, fight system and graphics, however however wasn’t in a position to overlook another issues:
“Although not as profitable as Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, Digimon Survive has the workings of a cult traditional primarily for Digimon followers. The story, regardless of a couple of unbearable characters, explores a darker reinterpretation of the unique collection to its favor, and the fight system is executed reasonably nicely for so simple as it’s. The sport’s artwork type and music have its moments too from composer Tomoki Miyoshi and artist Uichi Ukumo. Nonetheless, many plot factors drag on longer than mandatory, the Karma system is compelled, and the UI is lackluster. Developer Hyde has a spark of a good suggestion right here, however it may not final lengthy sufficient to advantage a sequel.”
Sirus Gaming awarded one other 8/10 – noting how the problems of the sport are rolled and stomped by its greatness:
“General, Digimon Survive is a extremely good recreation and has the potential to be a singular storytelling recreation for Digimon followers. With the usage of a light-weight novel system and mixing it with RPG-style components, I actually imagine this recreation can enchantment not solely to Digimon followers however to avid gamers as nicely.”
And GamerBraves went so far as awarding the sport 9/10 – labelling it the “finest Digimon recreation of all time” but in addition probably the greatest thriller Visible Novel titles:
“In case you’re a fan of the earlier Digimon video games, you need to know that that is NOT a JRPG. This isn’t a grind-heavy JRPG like World 2 or 3, World DS, World Daybreak/Nightfall or Cyber Sleuth. This additionally isn’t a elevating simulator like the unique World, Re:Digitize or Subsequent Order. This can be a Visible Novel first, SRPG second. Positive, I’ll love a brand new JRPG or elevating simulator, however Survive is such an unimaginable story-driven expertise that makes it definitely worth the growth hell it was in.”
