Gaming Union: "Victory's tagline is a little bit misleading. While it isn't anywhere near as bad as the original release was, the game feels worse than last year's predecessor. Compile Heart is a smaller developer so nobody is expecting perfection with the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, but it feels like they took one step forward and two steps back in some aspects. Thankfully the story, as long as you're part of the segment that enjoys its material, outweighs the bad but for gamers at large this might not be the victory you were hoping for."
Gary Green said: The concept for a good sequel is not a complicated thing. You take your original idea and expand on the lore, then you fix anything that was broken the first time around. You might want to introduce some new features too; This is fine so long as you don’t go overboard, and you don’t change the overall flow of the game. Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory ticks all of these boxes, so surely then it should be the perfect package? Well, almost. It really is rather good.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Hyperdimension Neptunia is huge. It’s a massive series that covers tons of games, all of which are sort of connected? Though also not really, because quite a few are spin-offs and non-canon. It’s a lot to take in, to be sure. With Megadimension Neptunia VII on the horizon, we here at Michibiku felt like we should offer an overview of the main series’ installments."
