    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.

    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.
