    Yet, even with its wonky camera and story that sometimes alienates newcomers, Sword Art Online: Lost Song is a solid game.

    Sword Art Online: Lost Song is a solid Japanese Action RPG that has enough to keep old and new players interested with touches of innovation here and there, even if it does fall short in certain areas.

    The maps and monsters are pretty lacklustre and its storyline is basically all fluff, but a unique cast of characters and a fluid aerial battle system give this one a sugary sweet coating that's hard to resist. [Jan 2016, p.94]

    Most fans of the series will get some enjoyment out of Lost Song. The core gameplay elements are solid, but the superficial story and monotonous questing prevent it from being fun throughout.

    Sword Art Online: Lost Song has plenty of great ideas, but it definitely doesn’t do enough to make them work in a 20-hour game. A better effort is needed next time.

    In the end it's a mediocre experience, and its competitors can do much better. The screenplay is below average, and the gameplay is just business as usual.

    Consistently, SAO:LS made us feel frustrated and a little ashamed with ourselves for actually sitting through it. Die-hard fans of the franchise may find something to enjoy thanks to the relentless fan-service but others would do better to go and actually play an MMORPG.

The chances for the next gameNot a perfect RPG, but is a perfect Fan Service with great moments and a lot of fun and interesting challenges. The chances for the next game to be perfect for fans is too high. "Lost Song" and "Hollow Fragment" are two great games, perfect or not, deserv our buy. Thanks to Sony, the Playstation family is a perfect plataform for the JRPGs and similars. Expand

    In terms of content, Lost Song doesn't have as much to offer as Hollow Fragment (Which also means a smaller world than Aincrad). But whereIn terms of content, Lost Song doesn't have as much to offer as Hollow Fragment (Which also means a smaller world than Aincrad). But where Lost Song lacks in content, it makes up in other things. For one, graphics have been significantly improved. Movement is much more fluid and the game doesn't suffer from some of the lag issues present in the previous game. The best part of the game is that you can now play as any character. (Sinon... Silica... Argo... Yes... Just yes) The story is pretty good and the dialogue offers some witty humor at times. The battle mechanics are a bit more polished, as there is not a ton of stuff cluttering the screen and again... No lag. The most annoying part of the game are fighting aerial battles, which can be disorienting (I guess they were trying to make it realistic, hehe) Overall, it's a great game for SAO fans, and if you enjoyed Hollow Fragment, then you will certainly enjoy this one.

    Попытка реализовать полеты, так как играем в альфхейме, на мой взгляд на*бнулась. Но я и не знаю как она должна была выглядеть. ЛокацииПопытка реализовать полеты, так как играем в альфхейме, на мой взгляд на*бнулась. Но я и не знаю как она должна была выглядеть. Локации маленькие ну прям очень и бестриарий так себе. Я так понял они сделали упор на музыку. И она тут огонь (полноценные песни не мелодии). Вообще игра оправдала свое название. На многое не рассчитывайте, но песни в треки добавил. Expand

    Sword art online lost song is not for every one. Fans of the Dot Hack series might be a little disappointed upon playing. While it doesSword art online lost song is not for every one. Fans of the Dot Hack series might be a little disappointed upon playing. While it does scratch the itch of its cousin's anime counterpart..Dot hack did it first, and Dot hack did it better. Sword art online lost song feels like a generic rip-off.

    I spent my forty hour adventure in the mix of things. Wondering if the story would get better, wondering if I would fight a new boss, and if this game had any conflict to it what so ever. No......My time spent playing came from the addiction of trying to get better equipment and upping my stats. And while that is a redeeming quality to have in a video game I was at a lost song myself when nothing came full circle at the end and the curtains closed.

    SAO takes place in another game called ALO. I understand that the anime was named from the story started in SAO but if this is non-canon and SAO no longer exists in the anime... why name it that to confuse new players that think they are immersing in another world? That's not what really gets to me though. My biggest pet peeve is the amount of recycled enemies they used. Every world you entered used the same things, even the bosses were all the same just different colors. Towards the end I fought maybe 3 new bosses... go variety.

    Another downside was the very awkward cut scenes between our hero and his friends. Just about every one he knows is in love with him, including his cousin which he calls his sister. The story too is very light hearted. We are in this game, and we want to beat it. That's it folks. Having a small skirmish with another guild is the only heat you are going to feel, until the game comes out of no where with the surprise one of your team mates is dying of AIDs.

    SAO lost song is not a bad game. It's not great either and it does not warrant a 60 price tag. This should have been released as a budget title. The addicting game play, pretty visuals, and uninspired party members is not enough to keep me coming back to ALO

Her zamanki gibi kötü bir hikâyemiz var ve oyunun %80i sıkıcı geçiyor. Ek olarakda skiller pek değişmemiş. Her ne kadar farklı kılıçlarla farklı animasyonlara denk gelsekde sadece ilk başta havalılar. Sonra birbirini hep tekrar ediyor.Bahsedilmeye değer en yeni özellik uçmak. Uçmak veya havada savaşmak ilk başlarda eğlenceli ama sonrasında sıkıcı düşmanlarla bu da sıkıcı bir durum alıyor. Kötüledim, kötüledim. Peki iyi yanı var mı? Var. Multiplayer'ı eğlenceli. Eğer benim gibi SAO fanı değilseniz Coop ve PVP bu oyunu katlanabilir kılan iki şey. Yani arkadaşlarınız ile oynamacaksanız ve SAO fanı değilseniz SAKIN almayın.

    +Funny Multiplayer
    +Fly
    +Easy Controls

    -Boring and bad story
    -Almost same skills and repetitive combat.
    -60$

    Finally, if you have a playstation 4, go and buy Fallout 4!

    I could write the same critique as I did for Re: Hollow Fragments, but I will spare my time.
    So they released this one about 3 months later
    I could write the same critique as I did for Re: Hollow Fragments, but I will spare my time.
    So they released this one about 3 months later after Hollow Fragments and did not improve 1 thing.
    Same pointless conversations en mass and same old engine graphics for a 2015 game. Music 5/10
