"Digimon," short for "Digital Monster(s)," are creatures programmed to be pets in a virtual device called a V-Pet. Like many toys aimed at children, the "Digimon" franchise spun off into video games and other merchandise, including its own TV show. That was my first experience with "Digimon," as a show during the era in which Saturday cartoons were a big thing. I remember waking up early on Saturday mornings and running to the TV to watch the episodes. As the years went on, I was always upset "Digimon" was never really consistent with releasing their TV shows and games outside of Japan.

Fortunately, this changed with the Change.org petition to bring "Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth" to countries outside of Japan. With more than 65,000 signatures, the petition reached the ears of Bandai, which still a little wary as to whether or not the game would do well overseas. However, after fans rallied together to show their love for the series, the company agreed to have the game first licensed in Europe and then America.

I've picked the game up myself, and it is just so amazing. It has such an amazing story and artwork gravitates to both old and new fans. "Digimon" seems to be appealing to an older audience with their newer games coming out, which makes sense. The little kids who grew up watching the show are now mostly adults with jobs.

As for the game, itself, you can tell from the title there is a mystery. I don't want to give the story away, but I will say it seems like one of the more mature "Digimon" games to date. Story aside, one of the best things about this game is the artwork done by Suzuhito Yasuda. It's amazing. Yasuda always puts an emphasis on the visuals and making the characters as stylish as possible, and it is so pleasing to see.

If you're an old fan, or you've seen or heard about the game in passing and want to give "Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth" a try, I highly recommend it.
