With a story that is packed with video-game references, humour and interesting characters, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation is a game that I would recommend to any fan of RPG's. Although it is by no means perfect, this game kept me hooked throughout and I think it is safe to say that I may frequent the world of Nep-Nep more often now that my eyes have been opened to this franchise!

About
Lost in an alternate dimension, Neptune must collect enough shares to get back home. Sounds easy – except the Seven Sages want to rid Gamindustri of CPUs, including Neptune! Help defeat them and return her to her own world in this JRPG – or be stuck in the '80s forever!

Critic reviews
- there’s really only so much that a fan can take before finally getting tired of the same old thing. With that said, if you’re just seeking a way to get your RPG fun in on the go, and love yourself this console-parodying cast, then it’s yet another title to stick in your Vita. Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 3 does nothing to reinvent the formula, and instead happily situates itself in a cutesy, but mostly average status quo position.
- 7.0The Neptunia Re;Birth series has done a lot to improve upon what were originally mediocre experiences. After having covered all the entries for RPG Site I have found a lot of appreciation for the series I didn’t have before. Now that it’s out of the way, I hope Compile Heart and Idea Factory explore more original directions for their satirical cast of wonderful characters. I wouldn’t mind another tactical RPG myself.
- 6.5Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation ends up being its own worst enemy. A quirky, genuinely funny localization manages to shoot itself in the foot by relying on lazy jokes about breast sizes far too often. The interesting battle system that has a surprising amount of depth is wasted on the same handful of dungeon designs.
- 7.0Those who were not already fans won't likely be charmed in by this one. Those who loved it will remain enthralled. It knows its strength, which is in its humour and characters, and doesn't even attempt to deviate from that path, for both the better and worse. It's a great title on the whole - just don't expect it to stray from the pattern.
- 8.0A retooled world map and recast characters won't hide the sizable quantity of asset recycling going on behind the series, however. As the finish to a trilogy, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 refines, but does not reinvent or innovate.
