Oct 21, 2024Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a double-edged sword, so to speak. On the one hand, it captures the fast-paced action of the anime hit excellently in the multiplayer battles. However, newcomers to SAO may have their fun spoiled by the old-fashioned elements and repetitive missions.

Oct 14, 2024As a tribute to the franchise it's not bad, but as a game in general, there are more interesting proposals on the market, whether it's a JRPG or a hack and slash. However, those who don't mind repetition can enjoy it. This is where the line is drawn to decide whether or not to buy the product.

Oct 7, 2024Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is an SAO fan’s dream and an action RPG fan’s nightmare. While the rewards provide a nice dose of dopamine across each match, there’s not enough content here to justify fans of online action games to invest themselves in. The story might hold you for around 10 hours, but after that, you’re looking at hours and hours of grinding across the same handful of maps and missions, completing uncreative daily quests and begging for something new. Still, the action gameplay is incredibly addictive, but the support needs to show up as fans did on day one to witness the cringy emotional drama of SAO, one more time.

Dec 17, 2024Fans of Sword Art Online will certainly be pleased with the concept, which diverges from other games in the franchise. It's not hard to feel captivated by following the journey of beloved characters from the anime world, like Kirito and Asuna. On the other hand, don't expect a bed of roses with Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. The flaws are quite evident and might bother those looking for smooth and addictive gameplay. If you enjoy the anime but aren't a die-hard fan, it might be worth waiting for a sale.

Oct 21, 2024Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream shines in some departments but flops in others. I wish the game had concentrated more on the primary campaign because the story here is terrific, and with a few tweaks to the open map environment and battle mechanics, it could have been a quintessential play for any fan. But the multiplayer feels so half-baked and unrewarding that only hardcore fans will enjoy the long, tedious grind to grab every morsel item.
