    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.

    played about 50 hours and all i can say is this game is horrible. It is more like visual novel. gameplay is quite modernish comparing to other sao games but this does not save this game

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

    I got the game on PC.

    The game is pretty and it's fun however there are some pretty drastic fps issues and game features that are broken like the records and the extremely long load times. The MP and Character creator are gated behind finishing Chapter 1 which can take 10-15 hours. You will spend a good chunk of time to get through the cut scenes. So if cut scenes aren't your thing you    I got the game on PC.

So if cut scenes aren't your thing you may be lost in the story since its the game verse and not canon after chapter 1 but you can skip them

    Personally, the combat felt somewhat flashy but slow compared to the other games but it still seems interested. Hopefully, once records (AI) are fixed on PC it will be a better combat experience. Cut scenes for Enhanced Armament and Release are cool but the cut scenes get old really fast during combat.

    Hold off on buying and see what the patch fixes performance and gameplay-wise. Other than that wait for a sale as in its current state for PC it's not worth the 60 dollars    … Expand

    PC platform. Totally unplayable. I can't give a proper review since game constantly randomly crashes.

    Graphics look really outdated. It feels like half of the models were taken from previous games. There is a ton of flashy effects, but no physics or hair animation. How can the game both look bad and perform bad at the same time?

    Oyun 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    Oyun gerçekten kötü bir durumda. "SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris Month 1 Edition Deluxe" sürümünü ilk pre-order açıklandığında 144 liraya almıştım.

    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.    … Expand

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

    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.

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