  Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online is a perfectly serviceable action RPG. That might not sound like a ringing endorsement, but for folks who are looking for a bit of mindless, distracting entertainment (and who couldn’t use that with all the things going on in the world today?), Tamsoft’s latest foray into this goofy game industry parody should fit the bill nicely. It’s certainly not the mark of a masterpiece when the most you can say about a game is that it’s fun and mostly inoffensive, but this series has never really been aiming for that high mark in the first place, and that’s just fine by me.

  While the use of Unreal Engine 4 and the PS4 may have been a good chance for some innovation in Cyberdimension Neptunia, there’s this pervading sense of wasted potential. As charming and heartwarming as it may be, Cyberdimension Neptunia can’t quite escape its dull gameplay, unfortunate framerate issues, or surprisingly short runtime. It may be some time before the next Neptunia game, but let’s hope Compile Heart can learn from the mistakes made here.

  Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online made me excited for this series’ potential again. I took a break and came back to find that, outside of Unreal Engine 4 graphics, the biggest changes were in gameplay and story progression, but the cast of characters, which I feel is the heart of the series, is better than ever in this entry. With solid controls, a variations of quests, multiple dungeons to explore, and many hours of items collecting and level grinding, Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online will provide that Nep-tastic adventure that fans have been waiting for while at the same time slowing down in certain parts for new fans to jump in and acquaint themselves with the Goddesses.

  Idea Factory and Compile Heart have done an excellent job infusing wit and charm into the Neptunia series thus far, and this game is by far one of the best examples of that yet (thanks in large part to Tamsoft, this time around!). While this might not be exactly what you’re looking for if you want something lengthy or overly challenging, Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online still stacks up as a great hack-and-slash RPG, and is definitely worth picking up. After all, where else can you play a video game about goddesses playing video games about goddesses? Nowhere! …Probably!

  If you’re willing to put up with the rather uninspiring combat and a few frustrating design decisions, Cyberdimension Neptunia is an achievement for the franchise. Thanks to its fast-paced combat and eye-pleasing splendor, this is one niche JRPG fans will love. For the rest, it may take more convincing from the developers.

  Speaking personally, Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online was a tonic I needed that arrived at just the right time. It’s pure, cheerful escapism that only wants to be fun for the player. Some might say that it tries too hard and this outing won’t change any minds. Fans will tell you that the damnable earnestness of it all lifts it up. This is also the first time that the series has managed to feel great in a true action form. Perfectly hitting every note that makes this series so popular, fans of Neptunia will have plenty to do with 4 Goddesses Online and those curious about the series should start here.
