Idea Factory is a company known for making games with good ideas. Unfortunately, those good ideas are placed in some fairly mediocre titles. Somehow though, the Hyperdimension Neptunia series has come out to shocking success for the company. It’s because the ideas behind the game are so darn interesting that Neptunia stands heads above their other titles.
Not all good ideas however translate into good games, so with the game’s re-release on PSN, it is about time to check out what this series has to offer.
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."
