    As a Nep fan since the very original PS3 game, these "spin offs" have always been either a hit or a miss and NVS is yet another prime example of this, whilst the game is 'okay' it still feels like just another cash in title, the series is desperately in need of a mainstream sequel to VII which is perhaps the best in the series and NVS doesn't come close.

As you can expect, NVS is basically aimed 100% at Vtuber scene naturally paid DLC for ones like Kizuna AI.

    Combat is clunky at best and once again, feels like Compile Heart had a low budget to work. Music and sound are probably the best aspects of the game and for a near full price game...thats not exactly a compliment, if I'm being honest - this just isn't that good and not remotely worth the RRP, wait for a good sale.

    Finally, please!! For the love of Nep, Compile Heart/Idea Factory produce what the fans actually want! And thats a mainstream sequel to MegaDimension.    … Expand

    Neptunia Virtual Stars is a tough game to recommend even for the fans. The regular cast of characters remains as engaging as ever, while the newcomers fit in quite nicely. The story is a nice take on parodying the current state of the internet using the unique viewpoint that the series has carved for itself. Beyond the overly long cut scenes, the gameplay is dull despite the variety that the title and minigames try to provide. While this game won't attract any newcomers, hardcore fans might want to dabble with this after a very deep discount.

    After the disastrous Super Neptunia RPG packaged in 2019 by Artisan Studios, we harbored the sincere fear of finding another title that is poor in every respect in our hands. The Japanese developer Compile Heart has instead taken over the reins of its flagship franchise, and although Neptunia Virtual Stars lends its side to several critical issues, the result is all in all enjoyable. The gameplay and the balance of the difficulty should be revised, but overall the spin-off manages to effectively carry out its duty, which is to entertain historical fans of the saw and fans of virtual YouTubers.

    The inclusion of popular Vtubers’ isn’t enough to save Neptunia Virtual Stars, as it ends up being an underwhelming mess that fails to deliver.
