There has been a recent surge in Japanese games on the PC. You have Square starting to port various Final Fantasy titles, Konami with Metal Gear, Capcom with Street Fighter, just to name a few. Not to be outdone, Idea Factory/Compile Heart now has joined the party. The consolewars have finally landed on your PC! It’s Nep Nep, in the ever so glorious 1080p.

If I compared Hyperdemension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 to your days back in elementary school bickering about your favorite console, then Re;Birth 2 would be the same feeling except this time, you’re doing it in the bus ride home.

Remember those days back in elementary school? Where you would defend your favorite multinational corporation to the death? Be it either Nintendo, Sony or SEGA you would defend one of those entities like it was your newborn child. Now it’s 2014 and here you are in your twenties. Still bickering at one another about consoles….but instead of throwing generic schoolyard insults at each other, you’re a little girl who on a mission in the magical land of Gamindustri.

I’ve always been neutral to the Neptunia series. I neither hate it or love it. Prior to this I’ve only dabbled with Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory & Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection and I enjoyed my time with those two titles to an extent. I know what to expect and not to expect out of this franchise. This series is geared towards a niche audience. An audience who loves to devour anime and video game tropes like there’s no tomorrow. Not everyone will appreciate or even understand that. But beneath all that unfamiliarity, there might something special with the Neptunia series that can resonate beyond that niche group of people.
