Digimon World: Next Order
Digimon World: Next Order (stylized as DIGIMON WORLD -next 0rder-) is a role-playing video game in the Digimon franchise and the sixth game in the Digimon World series. The game is developed by B.B. Studio and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game was released for PlayStation Vita in Japan on March 17, 2016. The game would later release for PlayStation 4 in North America and PAL regions in January 2017, and in Japan on February 26, 2017 as Digimon World: Next Order International Edition. Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows versions were released on February 22, 2023. Digimon World: Next Order is a role-playing game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective where players take control of a human character who is accompanied by two partner Digimon. The player chooses from ten possible starting companions at the beginning of the game, who grow and evolve throughout the course of the story by taking part in battles and interacting with their owner. If your partner doesn’t meet the requirements for any of its next possible stages within a set amount of days, it’ll collapse, die, and be reborn once again into an egg of your choosing, each time with a slight boost to its stats. Players can increase the bond between their Digimon and themselves by praising, scolding, feeding, or offering items. Together, they travel through various environments completing objectives and advancing the story by interacting with non-player characters and battling enemy Digimon they encounter in the field. Battles themselves take place in real-time when an enemy creature is touched, which causes a circular-shaped battle area to appear which each partner is free to move within. The companion Digimon act automatically through an assigned AI strategy while the player can halt combat to issue commands or use restorative items. Players can switch between either partner in battle to issue specific commands or instigate a special evolution where both Digimon temporarily merge. After battle, their Digimon's stats are increased, making them stronger. A total of 217 obtainable Digimon creatures are available in the Japanese version of the game with a further 15 added to the western version of the game, taking the total to 232.

Crude Humor, Fantasy Violence, Language, Suggestive Themes
This is a role-playing game in which players help a hero rescue a digital world from a virus. Players explore the digital world, interact with characters, and raise Digimon creatures to battle monsters in turn-based fights. Digimon perform various attacks and skills (e.g., poison powder, rock fist) to defeat enemies; combat is highlighted by impact sounds, light effects, and explosions. Some female characters wear outfits that expose deep cleavage, and the dialogue contains a handful of suggestive lines (e.g., “I can't imagine you'd be able to satisfy me…”; “Stay away from me, you perv!”). The game contains some crude humor: monsters resembling whimsical "poo coils"; a Poop Toss attack move depicting pink poo coils; a character emitting green clouds, with flatulence sound effects. The word “p*ssed” appears in dialogue.
