It is always comforting to turn on a new Neptunia game for fans of the franchise. It is the same, yet slightly different, and like hanging out with an old friend doing something new. Although Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution isn't the best introduction to the franchise, it's comfortable and with the warmth and humour that the franchise is known for....

Overview
Hyperdimension Neptunia GameMaker R:Evolution is set during an era where game makers are competing with each other. There were three goddesses of game makers who were defeated in the race to win "market share" of game sales and perished. Will they be branded as "goddesses of failure" and disappear? However, Adult Neptune who travels many dimensions suddenly appears in their world, asked by the three goddesses to become their president in order to revive the fallen game maker.

Sadly, the boring dungeons and lacklustre combat killed any momentum that the story tried to...
