    Coupled with the bright, colourful art style and cheery soundtrack, I honestly struggle to see how anyone could play one of these games and not enjoy their time with it.

    For longtime fans of the series, however, everything that made the first two games fun is present in this one, too, which makes it a pretty safe bet to buy.

    When compared with its original counterpart from PS3, Hyperdimensiondimension Neptunia Re:Birth 3: V Century doesn't have many new elements as we would like, just some added minor functions. However, it's thanks to the improvements that the developers tried to include in the previous remakes that make this entry in one of the best iterations of all the franchise. If you haven't played any game of the series, you could easily try this one.

    Some new additions to the gameplay makes this title more than a simple Vita conversion, and great for those who never picked up the original. Still, if you already own it on the PS3 there is nothing that new to warrant a new purchase unless you need an RPG on the Vita or are a seasoned trophy hunter.

    With a story that is packed with video-game references, humour and interesting characters, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation is a game that I would recommend to any fan of RPG's. Although it is by no means perfect, this game kept me hooked throughout and I think it is safe to say that I may frequent the world of Nep-Nep more often now that my eyes have been opened to this franchise!

    The game is an absolute rollercoaster of fun, humor and interesting Story. All though the story is not something you should allways takeThe game is an absolute rollercoaster of fun, humor and interesting Story. All though the story is not something you should allways take seriously it is set up in a way that its extremely enjoyable and you will get quite a few laughs from the game if your a fan of the series. It does have some minor issues such as level scaling but its easily overcome when you download the free DLC on Vita that give you all sorts of extra characters and some of which are quite overpowered, the graphics are okay for an Vita game and its New Game Plus is a lot of fun as well.

    The challenges you can do are a bit of a grind as you have to jump a total of 10000 times to complete one challenge but they aren't neccessary.

    Pros:
    - The cast is hillarious and are far from flat characters
    - The game play is perfect in my eyes and the combat very enjoyable
    - The story is thrilling and there are some serious Heartbreaking moments but also very loving moments

    Cons:
    - The levelscaling isn't all that perfect
    - Some Dungeons are re-used from older games but atleast given some makeup to look better or some small changes.    … Full Review »

Nice music, art, gameplay, plot and characters, the only negative thing i can think of is the world map how it works and the dungeons get quite repetitive but both of them are minor critics really, but for someone who never heard of the series they need to understand clearly what a japanese role playing games are because this ain't you fallout 4 or gta game.… Full Review »

It's funny, clever, lewd, and has solid gameplay. The characters are all great. What kind of psychopath doesn't want to play a game starring Yukari? The story is quite good. It has good acting and genuinely hilarious jokes. If you hate this game, you hate cute girls, comedy, and happiness, end of story. I'm sorry, Nep is fantastic, you're just wrong.… Full Review »
