PlayStation Plus Just Quietly Added the Darkest Spin on Pokemon We've Ever Seen
Briefly

For decades, Digimon has lived in the shadow of Pokémon, never quite achieving the same notoriety both in video games and animation. But that's honestly fine, because it's allowed Digimon to take a much different approach to its works - one that more often than not feels incredibly experimental.
The 'Survive' in the game's name is quite literal - this is a game bent on sheer survival. Digimon Survive gives players agency, and depending on the choices you make, multiple main characters can perish.
But that story is the driving force behind playing through Survive, and it's a much darker take on Digimon that really goes to some surprising places. Survive isn't afraid to dive headfirst into some really tough material - talking about dealing with trauma and grief, the nature of friendship and co-dependency, and the consequences that choices have.
Digimon Survive is the kind of game that you'd simply never see from Pokémon: a dark and serious take on the franchise that manages to pack in some fun tactical combat to boot.
