    This game has pretty good graphics. It definitely appeals to the JRPG enthusiasts. Also it has a lot of nostalgia factors by featuring your favourite game companies and consoles as characters.
    But if you look at it objectively, it has a very weak story that is downright dull and boring. Gameplay is mediocre and becomes relatively easy to complete the game after the 3rd chapter by grinding

    Overall get this game if you are a huge JRPG fan and love cute girls.

    I shouldn’t like these games the fanservice and the constant reuse of maps and assets annoy me immensely, but they are kinda charming. If you are looking for a amazing jrpg there are other games
    you could check out but for the price you pay for this in a sale i can’t say i wouldn’t recommend it. I mean i did play it for 40 hours and I enjoyed it. So, if you are looking for a fun

So, if you are looking for a fun experience with interesting gameplay, fun characters and lots of gaming history references/jokes the yes buy this game, you would probably enjoy it but do keep in mind that it can be frustrating at times.

    If you don’t mind the game’s somewhat clunky role-playing system, you will enjoy the humorous story that pokes fun at clichés found in JRPGs, other video games and pop culture in general.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1’s degree of fan service means it probably won’t resonate with anyone unwilling to step outside their comfort zone, but beyond that entry barrier lies a laboriously crafted JRPG with tangible meaning behind its story and worthwhile commentary on the video game industry.

    This isn’t a bad game, if modest in budget, but its console-based—and occasionally sexist—comedy is pretty niche, and it now finds itself going up against that most dreaded of all competition, the entire PC library of RPGs.
