A bit lost with the title sequence.

[- Yor]

Steam just advertised me this game, and since I watched tons of digimon as a kid, Id like to give it a try, so I googled about the game and found out it is a PS Vita port. Google also informed that there is a sequel called "Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory". Can someone kindly ignore my ignorance and guide me by telling if the Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory is also part of the port of its a fully new released game? Are the graphics better or they kept the same engine?
Thanks a lot :)

This game contains both, the original "Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth" and "Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory" (hence "Complete Edition").

The visual quality of the game should be about the same on all platforms, there has been no upgrade. What I noticed is that the texture compression differs between different releases, so some textures may have minor quality differences.

It also has all the dlc released for both in it. You can start with either, but Digimon Story is a good starting point for beginners. There is a new game+ mode and you need to beat both games to get the ability to transfer digimon between both games.

But my question is, is the Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's memory a new game? Like, was it released in 2019 to complement the Cyber Sleugh or is it part of the port? Thats what is not clear to me

Hacker's Memory is from 2017, it's not new.

Hackers memory is a "sequel" to Cyber sleuth.
It has a new main character and the story takes place in the same time frame but from a different angle, at release it had a bunch of new digimon but in this bundle they are combined and available in both games.

Cyber Slueth was the original game of the 2 game series, Hackers Memory was the second game which was told at the same time line as the original but from a different perspective. Complete contains both games plus a few extra features as well like the "pokedex" being shared between both games if you save both saves on the same save slot, as well as the new digimon in the second game being added to the first game even though they where not originally there, and all the DLC stuff.

Both games are fairly lengthy but they are quit fun. Nither game is new per say but they are still good and this is definitly the edition to buy if you didn't own them before because of the new things added to Complete. You can skip most of the level grinding by getting yourself 3 PlatinumNumemon's and 9 Tactical USBs which can be gotten fairly easily pretty early on by saving just before a development completes and then quiting and loading if you don't get them, took me about 30 minutes to get 8 Tactician USBs and my current xp multiplier is 31.5x because of it, takes 4 fights to go from level 1 to level 40 and I am at chapter 5 of 20 so still fairly early in the game, so if you know that little trick there is zero grind needed, even without using it in my other save I never have felt like I need to grind.

Game looks good, controls good and mechanicly is what I wish Pokemon would have evolved into but never did, it takes what is good about Pokemon and adds in things that make it just that slight bit better, like you only have 6 active skills but you can learn up to 20 before having to unlearn any so you can have a digimon with skills for different situations.

One thing I do suggest is to play chapter 1 of Cyber Sleuth then chapter 1 of Hackers Memory, then chapter 2 of Cyber Sleuth then 2 of Hackers memory, and so on, if you do the story is a lot more interesting.
