Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
While it is a compelling story, the underlying gameplay mechanic requiring you to recruit a certain number of Digimon after each story segment before you can progress again disrupts the pacing and diminishes the impact of these story moments as it always ends in "Now go recruit more Digimon again."
