It's a fun and relaxing simulator. I'm a PC hardware enthusiast. Having the ability to create my own custom PC's makes me enjoy my hobby much more. Hoping to see more of my favorite PC cases get included in this game!

It's an enjoyable game. I've read 1984 last year and I absolutely love the not-so-subtle references in this game. I kept on playing the game to watch the different endings. I'm really satisfied with it, despite how simple the game's mechanics are.

I can't even get past the IFI loading screen. The sound pops up for 1 second and then it's just a permanent black screen. I even let it sit for 20 minutes just to see if it's gonna start. It never got past the black screen.

I really like the Neptunia franchise but this is absolutely terrible. I can run a lot of games at High settings, at best. But somehow I can't even run this game, nor get past the IF loading screen?

I'm gonna ask for a refund.

EDIT: I wrote this review when I still had an R7 370 2GB, and now I have a GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition. I don't plan on buying this product again any time soon unless another discount happens. I'll keep my review as it is.

I had to reevaluate myself after the bombardment. It was too late, but I had to press on.

I am already a demon.

I love it. But it's hard to look for players online

I don't play this game anymore, but it's nice to see that it's still churning out new content 4 years after my initial review. I hope that old and new players alike will enjoy this game as much as I did. I'm voting this game under the Labor Of Love category for this year's Steam Awards!

8/10

In sum: I would have given this game a 9 if it wasnt for the fact that it randomly crashes whenever I use Fever Time. And that only two characters can be chosen as Party Leader (IF and Segami)

I. GAMEPLAY
There is a total overhaul here with regards to the mechanics. You can use four characters at a time. The only downside for me was that you can only choose between IF and Segami as your Party Leaders.

You can use power-ups during combat. To activate them, grab them by pressig the Jump button.

Your opponents are at your mercy once you activate Fever Time. The amount of Fever Gauge depleted depends on your character's passive abilities.

Farming for ultimate end-game gears is easier here because all you need to do is to get to New Game+ and then take the quests needed for those gears and kill the bosses. The gears are handed out as a reward for completing the quest, which means there's no need for you to kill the boss over and over again. Also, those bosses don't drop anything anyway.

The Hidden Treasure mechanic is absent here. All hidden treasures can now be found inside breakable objects spread across the dungeons, which is great because that mechanic was annoying in the Re;birth games.

II. PLOT

The plot is very friendly towards new and players. Very easy to follow.

In this game, IF and Segami are the protagonists. Here, IF meets Histoire and the four goddesses for the first time. The majority of the Neptunia cast do not make an appearance here.

The only returning characters here from the franchise are IF, Neptune, Nepgear, Plutia, Uzume, and Histoire. Segami, Dreamcast, Saturn, Mega Drive, and Game Gear are the newest addition to the series. It's basically SEGA's real consoles (the Sega Hard Girls) vs. their fictional and/or discontinued counterparts (the four goddesses).

III. PERSONAL ISSUES

The game crashes randomly whenever I activate Fever Time. It's very annoying, considering that it happens during combat and that I have to do it all over again. I'm not really sure what triggers the crash.

Some dungeons are very bright for my eyes. I wish there was a setting that could change the in-game brightness because it's hard to see the medals and baseball collectibles.

One thing that kinda puts me off is the amount of swearing the characters make in this series, which is really new to me (I'd like to point out that my first and current playthrough is under the English dub version)

IF still does not have her own set of costumes! This really puzzles me, considering that this is HER game, so it should make sense that she'd be given costumes available for purchase at the shop. Segami and the Sega Hard Girls do not have costumes as well. It has nothing to do with gameplay, but considering that Iffy is the protag here, shouldn't she be given the protag treatment?

Most of the costumes here are just recycled from the old games. Speaking of which, monsters and dungeons are also recycled in this game. Nothing new for a Nep game.

Everyone uses the same weapon models throughout the game, even for end-game gears dropped by powerful bosses. Why?

IF and Segami are the only characters you can choose to be your party leader. Whivh is weird, considering that on all Nep games, all characters can be picked as your party leader.

Lily Rank grinding is ABSOLUTELY TIRING. Really, it is. Even with Love++ skils and Symbol Crusher GET, it really takes a while for you to max out your Lily Rank, even if the max level is only 5. And having only IF and Segami as party leaders makes it cumbersome to max out your Lily Ranks

IV. DLC

The DLCs will grant you an unfair advantage in the game and should help you complete it fast.

V. GENERAL

This is what a proper Neptunia game should be. It's definitely a breath of fresh air. The personalities of the main Sega Hard Girls here are a bit similar to their anime counterparts in the Hi sCoool! SeHa Girls show, although Dreamcast got a total overhaul here since her personality has been toned down quite hard.

Other Sega consoles are present in the game, although four main consoles serve as NPCs inside the Library. Several other consoles can be seen via Chirper where you can learn their unique traits and personalities, and should give you a brief background on what they were supposed to represent back in the day.

You should definitely give this game a chance if you're a fan of the Neptunia franchise. The overhauled game mechanics just makes it so fun to play.

Yes, you are still required to grind hard for money, EXP and Lily Rank.

I'd also like to recommend the Hi sCoool! SeHa Girls anime. It's short and sweet. Great for SEGA fans and anyone else who enjoys video games. It's a very cute nostalgia trip that you shouldn't miss.

Great program! I no longer have to move my mouse and keyboard to my bed every time I wanna play on my TV.

I have encountered some problems, though.

1. When the computer is locked and I have to input my password, the program becomes disabled. I have to use my keyboard in order to log-in

2. When I switch wallpapers with my Wallpaper Engine program, the Controller Companion becomes disabled, so I have to use my mouse in order to restart it.

Overall, it has been a great experience. Hoping for more updates and new functions

I bought this game because I discovered that Lemmy Kilmister was in the game (I love Motorhead).

I had lots of fun playing it. Jack Black's amusing voice acting was a huge plus to me. I discovered a lot of bands thanks to this game, and I am grateful for that.

The only downside for me was the DLC.
