Megadimension Neptunia VIIR

Whilst I managed to enjoy the game, I can't in good conscience give it a positive recommendation. It is very unstable, crashing rather consistently in the VR sections and uncommonly during battles. Nothing I did seemed to resolve the instability and the game is unlikely to ever be revisited with a patch. The sound-mixing is also terrible, some of the earlier maps will have sounds which will blow out your eardrums such as the security cameras turning or the wind rustling the leaves of the trees. Thankfully not every area is as obnoxious but I almost dropped the game there and then. The combat is also a bit of a snooze-fest since almost every battle can be won with a special skill or two, later in the game it doesn't improve much although the bosses don't seem to die as quick... until you get the "share dependant damage" skill for Neptune. The story isn't the strongest in my opinion although the characters are as fun as ever. Some claim the removal of the other endings is a negative, I say it's a positive since I won't have to deal with such an unstable playthrough a second or third time. Oh and who thought adding RNG to the loot was a good idea? Even worse, the cosmetic item…

I absolutely adore this game, the story is my favourite of any nep game. The VR gimmick is pretty scuffed for the pc port but the scenes were still super fun, and I didn't mind the combat changes from other mainline titles. Grab it on sale and give it a go

I've only played the 4 mainline game so far and it's not like I think Neptunia games are amazing by any means but this was easily the best game of the 4 and Uzume was arguable the best character this franchise has spit out. I also believe that for once almost all the characters and jokes were enjoyable overall I loved the game and it made me want to keep going with the spin off games and the English release of Unlimited.
