    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.

    To say this game is lacklustre would not do any justice to lacklustre games.

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.… Full Review »

    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.    … Full Review »
