    This is a simplified version of Megadimension Neptunia VII. It adds VR cutscenes and slightly improved graphics while removing some story content and multiple endings and replaces the combat system with one that isn't as good as the original. Get the original instead of this one.

    Title: A surprisingly cozy JRPG with a fun VR twist I picked up Megadimension Neptunia VIIR during a sale not really knowing what to expect, I'd only played one Neptunia game before and thought it was just okay. But this one really clicked with me in a way I didn't expect. First off, the new engine makes a huge difference. Everything runs super smooth compared to some of the older titles in the series. No weird stuttering or clunky menus. The battles are actually fun now with the revamped…

    Worse than original [url=store.steampowered.com/app/460120]Megadimension Neptunia VII in almost all regards. Just buy that one instead. Pros: - A bit better graphics. The game was ported to the Orochi 4 / Mizuchi engine (same engine as used in [url=store.steampowered.com/app/990050]Death end re;Quest and other recent Idea Factory titles), and many of the assets have been updated. Character models are smoother looking, and many dungeons got a much needed facelift, with sharper textures, better…

    If you have a Quest 3, don't buy this. It was designed for two very specific headsets in 2018. It was a challenge to even get into the game. It launches in windowed mode by default. The VR portion was distorted and unplayable on my headset.

    Small warning before you buy. It doesn't matter what you expect from this game or how high your standards are for RPGs in general, the fact stays that Blanc is by far the best girl, and you simply cannot deny this.

    The VR content is the reason I bought this game. It's also the reason I requested a refund and recommend against buying it. The game struggles to even launch into VR properly. When it does launch you are forced to remain stationary, or your vision is disabled, which defeats the point of VR. I really wanted this, and bought it despite having already played VII, but it completely fails to deliver on its promises. If you have played VII there is absolutely no reason to get VIIR; if you have…

    Normally I don't write reviews to complain about the quality of the PC Port, but this port is genuinely abysmal. To preface this, VII itself is hands down the best game in the Neptunia franchise, and deserves to be played. However, you should instead play the normal version of VII. It does have less content and is different from VIIR, but it's worth not going through the headache of VIIR's port. Also, I have a PC that's waaaay above the recommended spec. RTX 2080 and i7 9700K. The short…

    No. Just no. This is the VR version if the base game and there’s almost no VT content and you don’t even need a VR set to play it. There are some improvements in the game, including improved graphics; however, the list of improvements are no where near as long as the list of issues. Firstly, there’s one one ending to the game and no Game+. There is end game content, but that’s repetitive and not worth doing unless you are an achievement hunter. The worst part of not having Game+ mode is…

    If you're not sure whether to get VII or VIIR, get this one. There are a large number of small changes between the two versions of the games, but the biggest ones are the combat system, and the way crafting works. Let it be known that the only reason VII is more popular than VIIR is because it was released first, and everybody only took a surface-level look at VIIR upon release. When people are looking back on these games a few years down the line, you're gonna see people come out defending…

    This game tries to sell itself as an "enhanced version" of the original Megadimension Neptunia VII. In my honest opinion, it's anything but enhanced because not only are the differences miniscule, but I couldn't even finish the god forsaken game due to a technical issue. First of all, this game seems to have a serious issue with crashing. It seemed to be inconsistent at first, but I started to notice how it happens more and more frequently as the story progresses. This seems to corelate with…

    This game is not properly optimized or configured for PC, so don't buy it. The controls are all mapped for PS4 and have no keyboard equivalent, which means that a PS4/5 controller are required to play it. The battle system is too confusing and it creates unfair turns. Can't recommend it. Sorry :-(

    Unfortunately this game is a very poor pc port and from what I have seen and experienced the VR module is not functional and rarely works for most people. No fixes or workarounds either. For myself the game would crash whenever a VR segment would load with steamVR open ei. starting a new game. SteamVR being necessary for use of my Valve Index. This is a disappointment of the primary selling feature for me and I will be refunding it. From what I have read I imagine even if I had got it to work,…

    Technical issues you should know about before buying this game: You need to install it on your system drive or background music and voice acting will be missing and it will crash at some points. The VR scenes render at the wrong FOV making them look broken for any headset you can use on the computer. Even if you set the game resolution to 4K, the gameplay will not actually render at anything higher than full HD. This is a shame because it seems to have lots of fun content otherwise.

    Good for those who never played the original VII. For previous owners, it's alright I guess. The VR is gimmick but alright I guess. Graphics are better, no doubt. Longtime series fans may not enjoy the new battle system. It's weird to complain about DLC, but I hate how they didn't bring in the DLC characters from VII into this. It gave the game some extra spice. Overall I'd rate this game a solid 8/10. Probably a 7 if you're coming from VII and are here to double dip.

    The crafting system of this game is absolutely intolerable. You need to make hundreds of each item to finally get the stat layout you want. Some items don't even get certain stats, and there is no direction in the game that explains which ones get what. You just need to experiment endlessly and waste resources. Then you still need more crafting items (which are obtained by a very annoying system where you send scouts out to gain resources) in order to keep everything upgraded. The only way out…

    Still an amazing game, and the best out the series. Story: This is divided into like five sections, so quite a long game. To sum it up, a CPU who could not control their power, ends up getting sealed away. As such, forming Zero and Heart Dimension which is linked to their existence. This as well plays into the rest of the stories, as the antagonist, a half of the CPU. Was the one planning their way, all to try and get revenge against those they thought abandoned them. While this is a game…

    As far as Neptunia games goes, it is decent, one of the few instances that I wish for more nuanced Steam reviews. VIIR streamlines a lot of the story and removes useless DLC characters, which I find as a positive, and has a much more robust (if time-consuming) crafting and item system, which, once again, I love (being a hardcore fan of looters and the like). VII (and by extension VIIR) is still home to some of the most useless and try-hard characters in the series, and tries to push way to far…

It is not even PLAYABLE at all because the VR-Control mapping is totally messed up and even with mouse and keyboard it simply DOES NOT WORK. All the times the VR-Controller gets in sleep mode the game input (especially mouse) is locked as well, and pressing with vr glasses keys on the keyboard you do not see is a pain. The key mapping for the keaboard is a pain to and not configurable. The game actually seems to be fun and has…

    If you are reading this, then you are most likely an existing fan considering whether to buy this or MegaDimension VII. There's a lot of disagreement in the reviews, so let me break it down: First, you do not need a VR headset to play. The VR cutscenes are sparse, bland, and not connected to the main game. The biggest change in VIIR is the combat system. In the original VII and all of the Re;Birth games, you walk up to the enemy and press a button to attack. Press the button again to…

    Probably the most exciting Neptunia game I've had the chance to play, thanks to the Steam Summer Sale. Storywise, this is a pretty tight plot considering what kind of style the Neptunia series usually would go for. My prior experiences with Re;birth 1 made me believe this installment would be a slapstick comedy-filled game, but I was pleasantly surprised to experience a fairly serious story. Three separate parts in one game, all which culminate into the final third of the story. Speaking of…

I tried playing other Neptunia games in the past, but always got bored quickly. I've played a maximum of 10 hours of previous games. I wanted to like them, but never could. So I gave up on them for a while until this game popped up in a big sale. I got into it. I like this game quite a bit. I don't quite know why I couldn't like the previous games, but…

    If Megadimension Neptunia VII was the series' heavy-hitter, then VIIR is the high-definition "Director’s Cut" that decided to add a whole new dimension—literally. This isn't just a remaster; it’s a total engine overhaul that brings the goddesses into your living room through VR. The core game is still the massive, three-part epic involving the "Zero Dimension," a crumbling world where Neptune meets Uzume—a new CPU with a megaphone and enough "cool" energy to power a small city.

    A very crash happy remake of a game that honestly did not need a remake. The story is the exact same, the combat has been fully reworked in a way that makes you able to replace standard attacks with special moves after the first act of the game (which you can imagine makes most fights stupidly easy), and I honestly can't tell if the game's visuals have changed. If you own or have played VII you can easily skip this title, because the little VR scenes are nothing more than a gimmick that took…

    Good God, the original is so much better it's not even funny.

Only the original Hyperdimension on PS3 might have a worse battle system (and even then, I'd probably choose to play that game over this one).
