Oct 13, 2023Despite having inherited some problems that the Gameverse has carried with it since its origins, Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is hands down the best SAO tie-in made so far. By minimizing downtime, implementing mechanics aimed at streamlining and speeding up the combat system, and paying more attention to optimization, the guys from Aquria have redeemed themselves and this time created a frenetic and fun action RPG. Since this explores in detail the customs and geography of the Dark Territory, which had found very little space in the War of Underworld anime, we recommend its recovery to fans of the franchise and more generally to lovers of the genre.

Oct 26, 2023Sword Art Online Last Recollection is a game that has its pros and cons. On the one hand, fans of the saga will enjoy a story that will captivate them, combat that will entertain them, and a wide variety of characters and secondary missions. On the other hand, those expecting a more innovative and careful game will be disappointed. The game features poor graphics, complex and confusing gameplay for beginners, and poorly developed maps.

Nov 7, 2023Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is one of the better games in the franchise’s history. The combat mechanics are solid and questing can be fun, plus it’s good fan service. It’s a bit of a shame every other aspect drags the game down, but that won’t stop you from enjoying Last Recollection especially if you’re looking for a simple, single-player MMO-style experience.

Dec 4, 2023Last Recollection offers solid combat mechanics but falls short in design choices and innovation. An engaging story for SAO fans, but newcomers might find it lacking in complexity. Worth a try during sales for those seeking JRPG familiarity.

Oct 22, 2023Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is the worthy conclusion, narrative-wise, of the SAO Gamerverse, with continuous twists and turns and the presence of many memorable characters. Unfortunately, on a gameplay level the many mechanics introduced are of little use, and even on a technical level it doesn't impress, also presenting several quality-of-life flaws. It is in all respects a title to be played solely for the plot, dedicated to those who enjoyed the previous chapters.

Oct 23, 2023SWORD ART ONLINE Last Recollection fails to deliver a memorable climax to the series. Despite bringing in a raft of characters and throwing in a load of skills from the off, it just doesn’t do enough to keep you hooked. There’s too much blandness throughout, it doesn’t entice you with things to work towards, and the gameplay is incredibly monotonous.
