    Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris : BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment released another Sword Art Online game with Aquria. Before start I wanna say that I'm in love with all Bandai Namco concepts yet I never fully enjoy the games they release for some reason, this game had huge potential but suffers from very poor frame rates. I feel the best example for this would be Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. EveryoneSword Art Online Alicization Lycoris : BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment released another Sword Art Online game with Aquria.

I feel the best example for this would be Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. Everyone who have interest to TCG's loves the game and they never released a real playable competitive simple less looks like JRPG more looks like casual TCG such as
    MTG or HS but it never happened. Let's start talk about SAO Alicization Lycoris. On the loading screen I was really hopeful this time yet it didn't happen but when I started the game it was slow. Yes slow but I'm not talking about game progress at some fighting moments sometimes games slowing down it's kinda effect but it just feels like your console is lagging. Fighting acts still looks and feels like mobile games yet it's SAO I mean everybody loves it's Anime series right? Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is an enjoyable RPG for fans of the series, but requires a lot of commitment from the player to learn its gameplay systems. The pacing is glacial at times, and the hiding of multiplayer baffling, but exploring the huge environments of unerworld and battling beasties is enjoyable if you can get past these game engine issues.    … Expand

    Боевую систему изнасиловали окончательно, она теперь стала настолько топорной и неотзывчивой, что хочется сначала запустить со всей силы геймпад в телевизор, а самому с разбегу - в стену. Движок игры обновили, теперь он такой же как и в Jump Force, но японцы не были бы японцами, если бы игра вышла оптимизированной: эта игра тормозит не просто в городах, а даже в деревнях 15-20фпс, какогоБоевую систему изнасиловали окончательно, она теперь стала настолько топорной и неотзывчивой, что хочется сначала запустить со всей силы геймпад в телевизор, а самому с разбегу - в стену.

Больше не куплю ни одну из частей серии, пока издатель не сменит разработчика и не начнет игры делать по совести, а не тяп-ляп. К сюжету претенций никаких, разве что за это можно поставить какие-либо баллы. Также присутствует локализация в виде субтитров на русский язык (напоминаю, что ленивый разработчики в Fatal Bullet ее так и не завезли, хотя она имеется в версии для Nintendo Switch). Вообщем, пока создатели не проведут работу над ошибками в техническом плане, оценка будет именно такая.… Expand

    The style of play that not save after passing a very difficult boss forcing you to continue even if you no longer want to do, subtracts enough points .. play armed with a lot of patience and anger management

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best Sword Art Online-game and a must-buy for every SAO- and jrpg-fan! Graphics look stunning (for a SAO-game at least), gameplay is much slower (thus more authentic) and more direct, story is also far more detailed and interesting (Kirito strands in a VR-world and he doesn't know why and how he gets out of it) with several mysteries that are to be solved (like the overrealistic NPCs and Kiritos memories of his past that did never happen (?) etc.) while exploring a semi-open world with many side stories and quests. A step forward in every aspect from Hollow Realization (the last SAO-game from developer Aquria).… Expand

    A perfect adaptation in every way which improves on the original by adding time for Eugeo and the wonderful character Medina. Fluid gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and great music. Play this game right now, even if you aren’t a fan of SAO.

    Great game, lots of depth, lots to do, great combat systems. Pretty much what you are looking for in this type of game (requires a bit of intellect). As you can see from some of the other bad reviews... people looking for a single button masher, will not be pleased. If you have half a brain its great and youll be fine, just pay attention to the tutorials and take your time learning the mechanics.

    Typical SAO game with average graphics at best, the story might as well be a visual novel with all the budget for cutscenes put into the intro and end of chapter 1 closing scene A truly amazing scene with graphics you would expect a 2020 anime game to have throughout the game entirety.

    As of release there are technical problems affecting fps and resolution.

    As of release there are technical problems affecting fps and resolution.
    Pop in is a huge problem and open areas make the game look like it's a xbox 360 game.
    There are times you will spend 15 seconds in a loading screen to talk 5 sentences to a person then then be put into another 15s loading screen.

    It's combat feels floaty at times but has interesting mechanics to parry and chain hits with party members that can increase damage to the point you will take 4 or 5 seconds to kill powerful enemies. I'd advise stay away from this game until the technical issues are fixed and wait for a sale.    … Expand

    This is one of the best games in the series. Yes it does have FPS and loading issues but it still is really good!

    I'm sure it has its niche but if you're simply an RPG fan looking for a new game to sink some time into, you can do a lot better than Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris. Its lack of respect for the player's time and unforgivable performance issues are downright ridiculous.

    Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris features many compelling ideas, but its technical foundation needs more work.

    If you’re a huge Sword Art Online fan, or are simply after an expansive JRPG to sink your teeth into, you will get some enjoyment out of Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris. It requires some patience and persistence, however, and you’ll still be far from impressed by it. Poor performance hampers its gameplay, while long and frequent load times in conjunction with poor pacing often make it feel like a slog. So many times, especially during the first chapter of the game, you’ll be itching for some action only to be hit with an hour or more of story scenes. Eventually, you might be tempted to just drop it and play something that treats your time more respectfully.
