Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation Review
International crime – morality has almost disappeared. Rumor has it that as much as 80 percent of all students worship a being known as Arfoire, and the authorities have decided to turn a blind eye to this threat. Basically, Gamindustri is pretty messed up, folks. Ahem. Thus, Gamindustri fell into complete disarray.

Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth 3 V Generation Review
It’s time for Nep-Nep like it’s 1989. Neptune has been dragged into an alternate dimension of Gamindustrija! In order to escape this world in the late 80s, Neptune will need to collect enough stocks to open a path to her own dimension. Sounds simple enough – except that an evil alliance called the Seven Sages wants to rid Gamindustri of all CPUs (also known as Goddesses), including Neptune!
