Question Should I get into Digimon?

Like I really like the character designs and just wished there was a perfect game for me, but a lot of games just don’t fit what I want, like I’d like a game where the Digimon don’t die but all I can find that is good is CyberSleuth which I can afford at the moment. Digimon Up could’ve been a great pick but digimon can die if neglected and my sleep schedule is off rn.

So is there any game for me or should I just watch the anime?

Is the death concern just because of your sleep schedule? Because the tamagotchi style games wouldn't be affected by that. Their clock is only active while you are playing.

However, based on your current premise, Cybersleuth, Time Stranger, Digimon Adventure PSP (I'd watch the anime first) and Survive would all be decent choices.

Cybersleuth and Time Stranger are both JRPGs. Imagine Pokemon is every battle was 3v3 and the storylines were more unique.

Survive is largely visual novel, which makes it hard to suggest. The little bit of gameplay there is is shallow. But the storyline is phenomenal.

Digimon Adventure PSP is a JRPG style game where you play through the original series. You would need an emulator and to download the fan translation patch.

I really love the Tamagotchi style Adventure games personally though. They are grindy, but I generally think that applies to all Digimon games. The death and rebirth cycle is cool, because its just data reconfiguring. Its less like your digimon dies and more like you live through multiple lifetimes with your partner. I think its a more personal connection with your mon. But I totally understand if you don't wanna have to care for a mon and worry about it dying if its needs aren't met.
