Neptunia: Sisters vs. Sisters Review (Jean)
+ Live 2D really helps to keep the diologue lively
+ improved character models
+ some nep action
+ oh, never thought there is no turn based system
+ devs always thoughtfull of implementing personifacted games as chars (and similiarthings)
+ I see Rena, I sense danger!
+ Blanc always cute <3
+ funny story approach on very critical and present reallife themes (full of memes and references to movies, rl, games, politicians etc.)
+ funny and always fun skits
+ better dungeon design then the last installments
+++ Great Planeptune and Planeptower design ( i am in awe)
+ improved QoL (better leveling system, team follows you etc.)
+ more NPC visuals!
+ immersive sisterly love
+ the console wars yuri version 1.337
+ suprisingly story heavy (towards the end, but a little bit confusing to track all happenings)
+/- interesting battle approach, but lacks in impact and technical improvements
- translation is ok (you have to go through community forums first to find the solution)
- wtf? who translates Komori Yamori as Aneeta Job? srsly dumb!
- pretty broken game (devs didnt address some critical graphical stuff and stability of the game)
- some censored talking stuff (come on....stop being woke)
- tutorial is a bit lackluster
- reused assets (OST etc.)
Conclusion:
The series could be more popular and generate more sales. When you do something like Atelier Ryza did. Make more improvements on graphics. Sell important eyecatching things ingame. Do the marketing or make more of it. And try to please your fanbase by making another Mainseries entry. As longstanding fan of the series, who played all installments and even their remakes I appeal as a gamer to devs, that you can make more out of this series. The Neptunia series as such is still chamring but suffers for some time. The series delivers still some good points but suffers from reused assets and not living up to its potential for years now. I know its risky to make investements. But go for it. Its a nice niche series. And the story is still fun. One thign totally blow my mind. They really visualized Planeptune after all this years. That must have been really much work to do so. I am proud! Also in my opinion, in this sidegame of the series. They used a good graphic to visualize Gamindustri as good as it stands, so its a huge improvement after all these games. Sadly it will take maybe some games to improve other assets who are missing in this game. All in all I was pretty satisfied too. And i am looking forward to other installments.
Score:
90/100
13/10 Nep-action!
13/10 Blanc always cute! Gonna take her home
