Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online

A huge graphical overhaul and a nice script helps the series keep its charm, but it doesn't solve some of the inherent issues therein.

Cyberdimension Neptunia is a decent action RPG, meant for the fans of the series to kick back and relax with.

Speaking personally, Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online was a tonic I needed that arrived at just the right time.

While it can be a grindfest, fans of the CPUs will want to check it out just to see how often Noire is referred to as having no friends.

Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online is a game that fans of the series will enjoy. The dialogue-heavy nature and comedy are well done, and the story doesn't get in the way of it. It does a serviceable job of making the MMO-style gameplay work, but you have to accept the grind in order to not be bothered by it. It isn't a good title for those who are just jumping into the universe, but if you've played anything previously released for the series and fell in love with it, then 4GO isn't a bad addition.

Honestly, were it not for some really glaring problems, such as the AI's problems with ledges and the poor gear balancing, the game itself would be pretty fun.

Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online isn't bad, it just isn't great.

Even though the combat is bland, Cyberdimension Neptunia is a decent game overall. The party system, customization, and endgame content are all great. Even so, there are some minor annoyances.

There ends up being a lot to unpack about Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online, but to compare it to any other title out there on the market wouldn't be adequate preparation for those who are deep-diving into the series for the first time.

I was so ready for an action RPG entry in the Neptunia series to come along and scratch my itch, but instead it puked on my lap and barely touched the itch. I had so much fun with the story and characters, but with better combat and more consistent performance, this game could've been something special.
