    Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris feels like a long and tedious game. It tries to give freshness to the franchise and fails. However, suppose you are a fan of SAO. In that case, the installment is unmissable because it will make you nostalgic. On the other hand, if you want a dynamic RPG, the dialogues of this installment will immediately bore you, and the mechanics and missions will not entertain you enough.

    and this still doesn't make me hate JRPG, but somehow i fell asleep countless of times , due to the endless visual novels . The combat is great, but the visual novel story telling just goes on and on it just doesn't end.
    For the people who likes watching character standing still and talk, without any movement i applaud you . I don't even know what's going on, or which chapter i'm in. I'm still asking myself have i completed the prologue after 100 hours of gameplay !

    for the 100 hours of gameplay 70hours i believe is from its visual novel which i have to skip    … Full Review »

    Reseña en Español :Juego principalmente hecho para los fans de SAO, si lo eres la historia te va a encantar puesto que detallan más en personajes secundarios como Eugeo e introducen a Medina que es un excelente personaje, el combate está muy bien, varias cinemáticas estilo visual novel que le vienen bien al utilizar la animación de la serie, sin embargo un gran punto en contra es que la calidad gráfica del juego no corresponde a las mostradas en las imágenes de la eshop y en los trailers previos que publicó Bandai Namco, una jugada muy sucia y de publicidad engañosa por parte de la empresa pero eso no quita lo divertido y adictivo que es el juego, eso si está pensado para ser jugado en portátil porque en Dock no cambia la resolución ni nada.

    English: Game mainly made for SAO fans, if you are, you will love the story since they detail more in secondary characters like Eugeo and introduce Medina who is an excellent character, the combat is very good, several novel visual style cinematics that They come in handy when using the animation of the series, however a great point against it is that the graphic quality of the game does not correspond to those shown in the images of the eshop and in the previous trailers published by Bandai Namco, a very dirty move and of misleading advertising by the company but that does not take away how fun and addictive the game is, that is if it is designed to be played in console mode because in Dock it does not change the resolution or anything    … Full Review »
