One thing worth noting, however, is that this kind of topical humour has a lifespan, and the bulk of ReVerse’s jokes are nearing on ten years old now (there were a couple of new lines added in for the first remake, but the narrative has remained largely the same).

The writers get away with it because it’s good-natured ribbing rather than hard mockery (and also because the girls are cute and wear short skirts and that’s enough to distract any true otaku), but very few other games would ever think to take such a swing at their own audience.

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.
