Denkiphile: "When I first heard about Hyperdimension Neptunia, the notion of characters representing various aspects of the game industry seemed intriguing; however, when games have such a unique selling point, quality often falls through the cracks and leaves a shallow game that will quickly hit the bargain bin. But fear not, because Neptunia mk2 certainly delivers an engaging, though flawed and anime cliché-covered, RPG experience."
So many great games, so many franchises saved by developers revisiting exactly what it is players want. Hopefully, other developers wallowing in mediocrity can look to these games as blueprints for what they should do going forward.

Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Hyperdimension Neptunia is huge. It’s a massive series that covers tons of games, all of which are sort of connected? Though also not really, because quite a few are spin-offs and non-canon. It’s a lot to take in, to be sure. With Megadimension Neptunia VII on the horizon, we here at Michibiku felt like we should offer an overview of the main series’ installments."
