    Mediocre, this game has lots of content and "fluff" to do, but soon as I started playing I noticed some things that bothered and still bothers me, FPS drops, the game is Vita port and bad port at that, the character movement, the running speed is way too high, I mean really high, it feels off and bad.
    Unless you are hardcore SAO fan, pass this game. It is a bad port and feels like a cash grab.

    I was a big SAO fan and thought this might be good. The graphics quality is honestly underperformed for a 2015 game. Most of the time I don't mind bad graphics, except this time they charged too much for bad performance. It looks like a bad game version of the good old classic 2004 flyff but in HD and the gameplay is the same. Most of the time after half an hour of fighting and exploring II was a big SAO fan and thought this might be good. The graphics quality is honestly underperformed for a 2015 game.

Most of the time after half an hour of fighting and exploring I had to watch static character portraits talking to each other. At the beginning I had enough interest to listen to the long dialogues, which got less and less after some hours and after a while it got a bit annoying listening to SO MANY pointless conversations.

    Still waiting for namco to make a good sao game of the first arc.    … Expand

    Sword Art Online - Re: Hollow Fragment is definitely for the fans, especially since it makes no real effort to ease newcomers into the world.

    Repetitive and with a weak story, Hollow Fragment is not that great of a game, even if fans of the anime will still like it. The budget price helps it getting passing grades.

    Overall Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment is a game for true anime fans. For those looking for a traditional RPG, I suggest watching the first part of season one of the series before diving into this game as it will make more sense.
