  Compile Heart, and the Neptunia series in particular, have the kind of negative reputation that begs you to push through and find the treasure that keeps these games releasing a full decade later. Sadly, if there is a diamond in all this rough, it’s not to be found in Neptunia ReVerse. The repetitiveness of the core experience is unlikely to win over non-fans, and longtime fans will feel disappointed, if not insulted, by the lack of changes from Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1, and PlayStation 5 exclusivity proves the final nail in the coffin for this remaster in search of an audience.

  7.0

  The story is breezy and the overall gameplay is good, even if you have to deal with uneven difficulty. For veterans, the new fishing minigame is cute, but Arrange mode throws off the balance and isn't much of an incentive to return to the game. Overall, it isn't a bad PS5-exclusive RPG, but you might want to wait for the team to develop something new for the platform.

  6.0

  Neptunia ReVerse improves a few things from the Vita version, but it ultimately feels like a test of things to come. The fishing minigame is the only real use of the DualSense’s triggers, and while the game’s loading times have been basically erased, that is likely due to the PS5’s SSD speed and little else. It helps when the game’s assets aren’t all that graphically intense to begin with, after all.

  8.0

  As a turn-based RPG, it’s a fast-moving one while still evoking tactical RPG mechanics and striking a fine balance between being fair to players, yet still offering up a fair challenge. The new arrange mode allows veteran players to mix things up and enjoy the first game’s adventure in new and exciting ways.

  Neptunia ReVerse is a title that sticks too closely to its roots to be a standout, next-gen experience. Despite the presence of a moderately entertaining gameplay loop, decent mechanics, and delightful character banter, the embarrassingly feeble graphical quality, lack of innovation for the series, and disturbingly overt reliance on old systems from a Vita remake from over half a decade ago brings this experience down more than a few notches.

  4.5

  Neptunia ReVerse is a decent RPG at its core, but its obsession with softcore nudity is just painful. The combat is fun and the updated graphics are fine. But listening to characters berate each other about cup- sizes was one of the worst experiences I’ve had in a game.

  Neptunia ReVerse is a wonderful iteration of a lovely RPG classic that both fans and newcomers can enjoy. With oodles of content, a nifty new mode, and even a fishing mini-game; it's hard not to have a blast while playing through Neptunia's debut adventure on PS5.

  7.0

  Qualora amiate il fanservice ed il tipico umorismo demenziale che contraddistingue le produzioni nipponiche, Neptunia ReVerse sarà il punto di partenza perfetto per scoprire (o riscoprire) un franchise divenuto ormai un cult tra gli appassionati di giochi di ruolo giapponesi.
