    Far bigger in scope than any of its predecessors, Megadimension Neptunia VII has nevertheless managed to retain its focus over what fans enjoy about the series most; its humour and its fan service.

    Megadimension Neptunia VII is simply the best game of the series. With three different stories inside, a familiar gameplay with many and notorious improvements and the same charming presentations, we guarantee you that you will pass many hours enjoying this new Nep-Nep adventure.

    With an interesting plot, likeable characters, and gameplay that manages to hold up to the series' standard, Megadimension Neptuna VII is the best entry yet.

    Megadimension Neptunia VII is a bubbly game that I could easily see getting worn out with its abundance of releases. However, coming into it as a new player I really enjoyed the ride.

    Megadimension Neptunia VII breaks away from the formula and crafts a tale that had me laughing quite often, and gameplay that had me on my feet and scratching the back of my head in bewilderment over my next move.

    This game is meant to be enjoyed by fans of the series and the JRPG genre, but if you cannot stand large amounts of text and you love tons of action, this is not your game. Its approach to a more mature and complex story has been a success by Compile Heart.

    Like I said, if you haven't already fallen for the series, you're probably not going to have your mind changed here. Conversely, if you've loved the previous entries in the series, you're probably going to be over the moon for Megadimension Neptunia VII, since this is the series blown up to its most massive size yet.

    Very similar to the past titles in the series, this game is tried and true because Neptune never changes.

    This is the best main entry of the Neptunia franchise so far. It wanted to take a step in the right direction and it certainly does that.

If you played a Neptunia game then you know what you want and what to expect! It seems US critics are very sensitive to Japanese culture and what is acceptable for them. There's no need to rate down a game because it offends you or doesn't match your culture. This game is fantastic and a great installment that will propel the series to new heights. The soundtrack is out of this world and amazing, gameplay is the best its ever been with a deeper combat system. Best portrayal of the characters and writing since the first game. Recommended to anyone who loves JRPGS.… Full Review »

The best thing is that the series is just going to get better and better. The higher production values in this installment shine brightly. Amazing soundtrack, very pretty graphics (even at 1080p 60fps!), and amazing fun characters! I can definitely recommend this to Neptunia fans or anyone who wants a silly and mindless JRPG. You can't go wrong with this one!… Full Review »

    Combat does have some tweaks, but if you've been through Re;birth 1, 2, and 3 in that order then you will know exactly what to expect in terms of how much has changed.

    It's enough to keep you playing if you're a fan, but some call the series a "rehashing, repetitive combat" RPG. I don't agree with the latter statement, because this newest Megadimension entry for the PS4 feels fresh, I just wish it had more content and the textures were a bit sharper. Also, I'm still not sure if the game does run at 60 FPS consistently or not, but I'll update back later along with other impressions of the game.    … Full Review »
