    Optimization issues aside, Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is a solid entry in to the SAO game series. Inviting visuals, recognizable characters, and action packed battles await those willing to put in the time to get past chapter one.

    For my taste there is too little gameplay between the many dialogue sequences.

    Fun combat and decent characters aren’t enough to save a convoluted story, terrible pacing, and tons of performance problems.

    Overall, the game is a mess in its current state and desperately needs patches.

    With an expansive main campaign that takes far too long to get started and quite a few underdeveloped mechanics, this Sword Art game is a tough sell for anyone but the most dedicated fans.

    Most games will attempt to “hook” you within the first couple of hours — this includes RPGs with run-of-the-mill introductory and fetch quests — combined with epic moments and multiple concepts. In Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris‘ case, those epic moments and engaging concepts happened far too little too late, and you had no choice but to sit through hours of banal and monotonous linearity.

And packed withDespite its technical mishaps which has been acknowledged and will receive a patch soon (FPS and input lag) this game is huge! And packed with content. Massive world. Deep customization of skills, arts, etc. combat is strategic. Not too fast and not too slow. Timing is key. The story so far is great. It follows the anime for the first chapter (prologue) and then branches into its own original story. After the first chapter the games opens way up. Graphics are great. Best SAO game to date and a solid JRPG on its own merits. Expand

    Gameplay: 7/10.
    It gets pretty fun once you start piling up levels and weapons that suits your playstyle. You'll have to be patient tho, the grind in this game is just insane; especially if you are playing solo. Character creation is nice, but the NPC will still interact with you as Kirito, and your character doesn't show up during the few in game cutscenes.

    Story: 2/10 .
    If you are considering to get this game despite its reputation, you probably are a fan. Therefore know the main cast. Nothing new over there, same boring protagonist, characters are flat and the little flavor they get is quickly blown by the predictable plot. You won't play this game for the story anyaway.
    Oh, and the worst thing of this game is it's pacing. GOD it's awful, even for a JRPG veteran like myself, when i discovered I barely made the tutorial after over 10hours of play (and most of it reading dialogues mind you), I almost lost hope. You'll find yourself often reading for 5 to 10 minutes then enjoying the gameplay for barely 3 before getting another JPEG cutscene again.

    Overall: 6/10.
    Now, to be honest, i still kinda like this game. Now, I find most of the characters boring, but the new character is a nice addition to the cast by bringing some grey morality in this very predictable world. Besides, the gameplay becomes pretty fun past the 12 hours mark (provided you stick with it).
    The story is predictable, the grind annoying as heck. But, it can provide enough fun to make it worth it (although barely)

    Oyun gerçekten kötü bir durumda. "SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris Month 1 Edition Deluxe" sürümünü ilk pre-order açıklandığında 144Oyun gerçekten kötü bir durumda. "SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris Month 1 Edition Deluxe" sürümünü ilk pre-order açıklandığında 144 liraya almıştım. Şu an 449 lira ve gerçekten bu para verilmez bu oyuna.

    Oyunu SSD'ye yükledim fakat loadingler aşırı uzun sürüyor(her beş dakikada bir loading var). Dosya dizininde baktığınızda 38gb tek bir pakette. Tek bir pakette olduğu için de loadingler aşırı uzun.
    Combat sanki turn-based. Her aksiyonunuz gecikmeli olarak gidiyor.
    Optimizasyon yok. Ryzen 2600X / RTX 2060 sahibiyim, Arkadaşımda i7-8750H ve RTX2070 var ikimizde de performans sorunlu. İkimizde de fps 30-35'lere kadar düşüyor aynı ayarlarda.
    Oyun bir AAA oyunu değil biliyorum fakat oyun bir önceki Fatal Bullet ve Hollow Realization'dan grafik olarak daha kötü duruyor. Sanki oyunu Switch'i düşünerek yapmışlar da son anda PC'ye çıkarmışlar.
    AI takım arkadaşlarınız hiç bir şey yapmıyor ve savaş sırasında dikiliyorlar. Önceki SAO oyunlarında da kötüydüler fakat bu kadar da kötü değildiler.
    Oyun eğlenceli değil.

    SAO evreninde geçen bir oyun oynamak istiyorum diyorsanız Hollow Realization'ı oynayabilirsiniz. Bu oyunu önermiyorum.

The game is a buggy mess with extremely long load times that harp back to Skyrim for PS3. Random crashing dropped frame rates that just bounce all over the place. Recycled assts from the previous games that look blurry or imcompleat. Broken pathfinding. I could go on but my advice do not buy it at all. Expand

    The game needs THE BIG patch. Игра нуждается в огромном патче.
