The story in the game is characterized by a fun, meme-filled narrative that pokes fun at gaming tropes, featuring new characters and refined combat mechanics.

Overall, while the story adds engaging elements like managing a game studio, it may feel less cohesive compared to previous entries in the series.
- “Neptunia Game Maker Revolution is a really good action RPG with a fun plot as you explore dungeons and solve puzzles in this crazy meta story poking fun at gaming tropes with awesome moments.”
- “The game company element adds a fun little layer on top of the usual gameplay, allowing you to upgrade your company building as the story progresses.”
- “Alongside the familiar meme-filled story progression and dungeon crawling, the game adds a fresh element of managing the company’s reputation and improving the quality of the games it produces.”
- “Directions of the story and where to go is bad.”
- “You can clear dungeons you unlocked before the story even mentions to go there.”
- “This can be confusing if you like taking care of available dungeons before the story unlocks them for you.”

The gameplay in this Neptunia entry is generally well-received, featuring a mix of engaging real-time action battles, a micro-management studio simulation, and humorous elements typical of the series. While the addition of studio management and disc crafting enhances the experience, some players find the puzzle mechanics unnecessary and express frustration with unskippable interactions. Overall, the gameplay is solid but marred by minor technical issues.
- “A really good (with a nice low price) Neptunia game with all the humor and gameplay we know and love.”
- “The gameplay is awesome like all the Neptunia games, and this game also has a micro-management studio management sim with growing your game dev studio and disc crafting. The real-time action battles with its combo systems and EXE drives make this really fun.”
- “Besides advancing the story and clearing dungeons, the player can also enjoy managing the game studio in Victory Plaza, recruiting creators, checking e-mail, promoting games, and developing game discs. This adds a lot of engaging gameplay outside of combat.”
- “Maps have needless puzzle mechanics.”
- “Interacting with some objects cannot be skipped, which can make gameplay a bit frustrating.”
- “In terms of gameplay, the new Neptunia series looks better than later entries, but there is always a little stutter in dungeon areas that can cause dizziness. I don't know when they will fix this bug, but it's a negative aspect for now.”
