Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection (DarkZero)

Dominic Sheard: "The Hyperdimension Neptunia series has certainly gained a cult following over the years. I didn't find the first game a good RPG, but I’m not discrediting Compile Heart, the developer of the franchise, because the series has gotten better with each game in the spoof take on the mascots of the gaming industry, and that's why it has its fans. The games have got to the point where Compile Heart feels they have enough fans to warrant a spinoff, and so here is Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection, a game that is completely different to the mainline series. Producing Perfection is not an RPG, so anyone who enjoyed the series for its typical gameplay might be bummed about that. This feels more like a visual novel based on the heroines of Hyperdimension Neptunia turning into pop idols, so you have this blend of story and pop idol management that makes up Producing Perfection."
