What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 168 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (3,061 of 3,257 positive).
Some reviewers complain about difficulty spikes, grinding, and confusing endings. [1][2][3]

Megadimension Neptunia VII is easily the worst of the series, and it is the only game so far that I have actively disliked. Although the game is not too dissimilar to prior games story vibe/general gameplay wise, it adds a ton of things that make the game worse. Some of these include random encounters on the map, very bad enemy/level scaling in the beginning of the game, party members being taken out all the time, …

I saw this game one day with overwhelmingly positive reviews on both recent and past reviews, and looking at it, thought "how good could a game like this possible be?" I did some research, and apparently this is the 4th installment of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. Not wanting to jump in and not know what's going on, I decide to start from 0 with Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1. Fast forward 4 months later, …

I will preface this by saying: I'm aware this is a review for a game that's been out for approaching a decade now. Most people who were going to play this game have already done so at this point. With that being said, I'll still give my piece. As a Neptunia game, it definitely deserves the title of best Neptunia game. The story is incredibly good and engaging, and numerous characters get their own turn to shine. If …

Megadimension Neptunia VII is one of the most ambitious entries in the series, presenting a larger narrative scope, expanded mechanics, and a more polished structure compared to previous games. The story is divided into three major arcs—Zero Dimension, Hyper Dimension, and Heart Dimension—each offering a different tone and set of challenges. This segmented approach creates a stronger sense of progression and variety …

i suppose i would put negative rating to this game, but since the story was promising, there were couple new mechanic and some improvements and such, then this time, i can leave positive rating for this one. the only unfortunate thing i didnt enjoy were, ran into a lot of difficulty spikes, and then afterwards, grinding to get the good ending seemed like such a chore. I have to say the experience wasn't worth it. …

60 of 185 · most liked firstThis track is called "THE COLOSSEUM"! Megadimension Neptunia VII was a cool game! Experiencing it for the first time after the Re;Birth trilogy was so crazy, the game truly felt like a next-gen Neptunia game in every sense of the word! The game had an intriguing story as well, it was a ton of fun!

Choujigen Game Neptune Unlimited (tentatively titled Neptunia Unlimited) is releasing for PS5, PS4, Switch, & Switch 2 on August 27 in Japan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ovq...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MEGADIMENSION NEPTUNIA VII Megadimension Neptunia VII feels like a natural continuation after Re;Birth 3... but it comes with a pretty serious shift in tone. Every Neptunia game has its own personality, and this is the point where the series decides to get a bit darker and more serious. The game is much more atmospheric and dramatic clearly its own thing compared to everything that came before it. Lovingly built, the game is split into three main parts, each with its own unique feel. This…

Story (9.5/10) Of all the Neptunia games I've played up to this moment, I think the Neptunia VII game has the best story. I didn't expect that compile heart and idea factory would create three different stories, three different plots, but still connected to the storyline. I think this game has a rich story, and it doesn't get boring if you play it over and over again. starting from the Uzume story with…

You MUST follow a guide if you are going to get the incredibly limited-time quests that result in the game events that then allow you to get the "true" ending of the game. Don't even think about trying to get the "true" ending going in blind. 2) The single most interesting DLC character for the game Million Arthur is now unavailable to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't think I will ever find a worse game that Neplunker. I could go on for hours about how every mechanic somehow builds on itself to make a more miserable experience, or how the last part is blocked off until you have gotten an item - something which there is no warning for - making you waste hours since you have to do it again. Yes, Neplunker may only be a relatively small part of the game but that doesn't make the experience any better.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neptunia was built for a bygone era of gaming. Being hailed as arguably the best of the Neptunia series, Megadimension Neptunia VII (as in "Victory Two", not seven) is the last mainline Neptunia game to come out in... nine years?! Wow, okay. The game has similar elements to its predecessors: Witty comedic meta-dialogue, actually enjoyable JRPG combat, and enough fanservice to kill a Puritan. Combined, these features made this game and the series in general a cult classic, cultivating a very…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not another Victory. When I started playing through Megadimension Neptunia VII, I thought that this was Neptunia finally reaching a level of effort and polish never before seen in the franchise. Character sprites were improved, there were levels that weren’t just recycled from the previous games, enemies were voiced and so on. Unfortunately, despite the seeming jump in quality, I started noticing a problem: the game wasn’t fun to play. You know how in RPG games the game decides to take away…

However after you grind the 2nd…

My son got this game from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My only issue with this entry was that it felt too long. I like neptunia games because they are fairly short and silly, they feel like a comfort food between playing all the long and heavy games. Unfortunetly to me it felt like a long and heavy game. Other than that I rly liked the 1st apocalypse setting, the plot overall was fine, it had some rly funny scenes. Besides the lenght I have 0 complains, and would reccomend it to everyone that has enjoyed all the neptunia games so far.

positive · AI labelView post →1. Megadimension Neptunia VII. It's my favorite game of all time, but I still have some issues with it. Primarily its third arc. The third arc feels a bit rushed, seeing how it introduces some new concepts that either end somewhat haphazardly (such as Uzume's true self), or has story beats that -

Megadimension Neptunia Victory 2, commonly mistaken as Neptunia 7 due to people not reading Roman numerals, follows an arc-based story: you complete one arc and move on to the next.

There was a lot of potential for this game to be great: The story was promising, Nepgear really got a boost in her character, jumping actually does something now, and there are some fun new gimmicks that can be used in the dungeons.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not my personal favorite Neptunia, but I can easily see why people consider this the best one of the series. The gameplay is fun, a lot of the characters get time to shine, it arguably has the most significant differences compared to most of the mainline games, it has a good three part story, and it has some cool spectacle. Some stuff that holds it back in my opinion is that I never felt like I had control over who was in my party for most of the game, I really don't like they removed full…

In comparison to its earlier three entries, I really like some of the ways Megadimension Neptunia VII shakes it up a bit. I'm a real big fan of weapons having distinct combat routes you have to work around over just getting to go ham. It feels a little less mindless than the previous three games and while it doesn't make it too much more…

While it retains the series’ trademark mix of anime aesthetics, industry satire, and character-driven storytelling, it approaches these elements with a greater sense of ambition. Rather than feeling like a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Megadimension Neptunia VII caught me completely off guard — I went in expecting a shallow anime game and came out genuinely emotional when the credits rolled. The three-arc story structure keeps things fresh, and the balance between goofy fourth-wall-breaking humor and surprisingly dark narrative moments is pulled off better than I ever expected. The combat system has real depth with its combo chaining and positioning, even if the Neplunker platforming sections feel wildly out of place in a…

If your a fan of the series, there's no way you haven't already played this. Ignore my playtime hours; I played through it 5 times on the ps4 when I was like 16. The only problem is that there is no Japanese interface/UI despite it being a Japanese game (only fully voiced).

The humor of the characters is still great, full of references and more. They finally added transformation scenes to HDD. And there's as much fanservice as usual. It does have a few problems with game balance, since skills don't grow properly with your stats making them worthless towards the end of the game and a few other issues.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game slightly changes up the formula so that it doesn't quite feel like the first 3 games. Probably to compensate and balance out the large roster of characters. Haven't played the first three games? That's okay too. The game gives you little bits of info on most characters so that you won't be confused. As none of the games really have connections to each other, you can definitely play this as your first one. I feel like this game is the closest to a visual novel than all the others.…
