ReVerse is where that all started, and through the long narrative sequences, this game pulls no punches in breaking the fourth wall, making fun of the various dramas in the video game world, and even regularly poking at otaku culture, which has always been a delightful quirk for a series that exists entirely due to the graces of that exact same sub-culture. The entire Neptnia series anthropomorphises video game consoles and companies, so that they become gorgeously attractive girls that, initially, fight one another (the “console wars”) but would eventually become friends. Altogether, these are relatively minor features, especially since so much of ReVerse does still look like an upscaled port, and that’s just not what you expect from a “remake.”īut then the real appeal of Neptunia has, and always will be, the way it parodies just about everything it touches, and that comes through as strongly here as ever. The effect on the water puddles in the world is nice but this game is famous for its super short skirts and it didn’t do anywhere near enough with the combination.
It also adds the ray tracing enabled by the PlayStation 5 hardware, and as the first fanservicey game to do that I was rather looking forward to it, though I was ultimately disappointed. Neptunia ReVerse is a celebration of Neptunia’s greatest quality (its characters), and it adds a minigame and a couple of similarly minor bonuses into the mix.

With that intro out of the way, calling this a full remake is probably pushing things. Related reading: For more information on the game, check out our review of the PlayStation Vita title.
