God is a Geek: JRPGs are a difficult genre to get right. Considering the length of play time there has to be enough in their structure to make you want to keep playing well into the tenth, twentieth or even thirtieth hour. Mechanics are revealed in a slow, steady fashion to change things up, and side-quest upon side-quest criss-crosses along a story that really needs to hold your attention over the course of your lengthy play time.

Got Game: Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2: Sisters Generation has arrived on the PlayStation Vita. This title, which is a remake of the original PlayStation 3 game, Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, features several additions that the original version lacked. As a newcomer to the series, this review will be judging the game by its own merit, and not comparing it to past titles.

Cubed3: "Often regarded as a fine piece of hardware engineering with plenty of power under the hood, the PlayStation Vita has become somewhat of a sales shipwreck in recent years. Although gifted with a large amount of Indie developer support and a high number of quirky off-radar games, Sony's handheld has effectively been thrown under the bus as far as high profile franchise releases go. Despite this, many Japanese developers continue to find recognition and sales with the handheld and its low install base, in particular Idea Factory and Compile Heart, both of which have a dozen Vita releases between them. A high number of these games are from the HyperDimension Neptunia series, one that started life on PlayStation 3 and in 2014 had a re-imagining of sorts with HyperDimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 on Sony's handheld. How does the sequel fare to its well-received predecessor?"

Jorge S Fernandez: "Being the primary Vita reviewer on this site means that I also possess some knowledge in the unique, often controversial culture of Anime, which makes up for the bulk of games that keeps Sony's critically overlooked portable console from flat-lining. There have already been a steady flow of titles that in some form or another play up on the rampant sexualization of fictional female characters, the results being divisive among gamers. But with the Hyperdimension Neptuna series, developers Idea Factory and Compile Heart takes things to a weirder, arguably darker place with the concept of Moe anthropomorphism."
