GamingUnion: "One fine day, a collective of Japanese developers known for their creative take on the role-playing genre decided to band together and create a game that would satire the very thing they do. This game was last year's Hyperdimension Neptunia. Now the very same group – actually, from hence forth I shall refer to them as the Prism Rangers of the Japanese game industry – is back again with a sequel dubbed Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2. Same old comedy, same old satire, but wholly improved since the original."
So many great games, so many franchises saved by developers revisiting exactly what it is players want. Hopefully, other developers wallowing in mediocrity can look to these games as blueprints for what they should do going forward.

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."
