Hyperdimension Neptunia Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
The performance upgrades alone make this worth the purchase.
Our favourite console-inspired goddesses sure have been on a lot of adventures over the years. Now that they're testing the latest online RPG, let's see if it's up to their standards.
Hyperdimension Neptunia sounds awesome when it's being described by a friend or read off the back of the game's case, and honestly the premise is so bizarre and original that I'd totally tell you to pick it up if there were cutscenes, a coherent story, or, hell, a fun battle system. But besides some cool battle sequences, funny gaming jokes, and a few nice images, the rest of Neptunia is a middling RPG that doesn't put in the effort to make itself noteworthy or worth playing, which is ironic considering it's a game about SEGA trying to prove it's not just that.
Idea Factory came up with a very interesting world setting in Neptunia called "Gamindustri," and Neptunia features game consoles personified as goddesses, CPUs (Console Patron Units). You can customize visually with equipment to enhance their stats.
