This week's new Cloud Monday video is part 1 of playing the PS4 version of Digimon Survive via the PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming Service to my Japanese launch model PlayStation 4.
Digimon Survive will be leaving the PlayStation Plus service this month so i wanted to see if playing it from the Cloud would be a good way to play it before it's removed. When it's removed from PlayStation Plus, unless you've bought it, it'll stop working on your PS4 or PS5.
Digimon Survive is a Visual Novel style game that uses that style of game to tell it's story whilst also combining a tactics style fighting mechanic and also have a Mobile Phone explore your location feature. in this hour and a half i played for Part 1, all these different styles work well together and feel cohesive.
How a game saves is important when playing a game from the Cloud. PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming Service gives users a 20 second warning before disconnecting. it's important to know when the game autosaves and how to do manual saves. in Digimon Survive, the auto save is clearly mentioned on screen and happens before cinematics, where manual saves aren't possible, and after chapters. during typical Visual Novel sections, we're able to pause the game and save manually.
the stream quality was great during Part 1. this helped highlight the graphical style of Digimon Survive which i quite enjoyed. there may not be a lot of small details, but the art style and and use of colors is nice. we saw in the first battle at the start of the game that the Digimon are drawn in a flat 2D style whilst the battle stage is 3D. everything was clear to see and importantly I didn't notice a lag in the controls during menus, story, or battle sections, unlike during the previous game with Cyberpunk 2077.
