I am a HUGE SAO fan! I've watched everything released multiple times.

I was looking for a change in gaming venue, as my pc was getting older and modern games began to out level its capability. It was a hard choice between PlayStation, Xbox, and the new Nintendo Switch, until I saw the PS4 exclusive Sword Art Online game series. It titled my decision towards the PS4 entirely. A week later I had a PS4 with all the bells and whistles, right along with every SAO game I could find.

I started playing SAO: Hollow Realization when it arrived, only to find that Lost Soul and Re: Fragment came before. I played through the original story and even bought a season pass for additional content. The game does have a lot of cut scenes, and I can't say that I like every one of them, but the game itself plays very well, combat is awesome, gaining each weapon skill really takes some grinding.

However, I feel that the story is there to give you a little glimpse of daily life for the characters, which the shows didn't really do. I love every second of the game and hope they continue to produce more.

Right now I have a team of level 80's sitting there waiting for me to catch up on the story.

I've played Re: Fragment over the last few weeks and barely scratched the surface of what the first game has to offer.

This entire series is fantastic! Highly recommend to anyone looking for more SAO!

First off let me say this:
I'm a purist when it comes to anime/manga ports.. even I really enjoyed it.. took a minute to get over some of the liberties they took with a few people, but all in all it's definitely one of my favorites.

The game itself:
I won't give anything away, but the main story has potential. it should/could have been Incorporated into the progressive story Arc somewhere after ALO but before Ordinal Scale.

The graphics are much cleaner than the previous game in this series, the affection system has been revamped and is much more convenient to use.

even if you're only a minimal SAO fan, buy the game..

I'm fairly new to the Sword Art Online game franchise and only own Lost Song so I can't input fair contrast vs older games, but I just have to say that out of all the games I own ( Including skyrim special edition and Battlefield 1 on a PS4 Pro) this game is the best looking game and I can't believe that there is bloody first person. First person in a game like this is something I never anticipated since i'm used to the 3rd person view on Jrpg's and it looks good. The fighting is pretty simple and repetitive but at the same time not boring and being in parties definitely helps beat harder bosses. I haven't gotten too far to be honest but I'll update as I get further into the game.

This is the best SAO game I have played so far. It is a huge upgrade from the previous games. Graphics are beautiful. Character customization has been improved though it is still just customizing Kirito (which I don't mind). There are still many side stories to read through. Kirito actually talks in this game so he's finally not a silent protagonist anymore. However, the thing that slightly bothers me is the translations. The dialogue differs from what the characters are actually saying, which makes them seem out of character. It just feels like the text sometimes doesn't fall in with their personalities. The overall meaning can be considered the same but it's how it's worded that bothers me. The combat system is awesome with various combos to do. It sort of combines Hollow Fragment and Lost Song together. It brings about an action feel while also keeping the RPG feel to it. I have put almost 40 hours into the game and I'm still not even close to finishing the game. There's definitely a lot to do! This game is a good buy for fellow SAO fans.

UPDATE: So I finished the story and it feels sort of empty afterwards. Unlike in Hollow Fragment, there are not many high difficulty areas/quests that you can do in single-player. You'd have to actually go into multiplayer and do solo mode or party to increase the difficulty. The bad thing is that you cannot jump to a different location from the map like in single player. You have to go back to the lobby every time. Monsters in single player remain the same level so they become extremely weak once you pass their level. The drops are the same and not very unique. Weapon designs and armors get recycled with different colors, making it bland. At this point, the endgame seems like a bunch of farming for materials to make legendary weapons. Just have to look forward to the future DLCs that will be coming.

Received it today. It was sent in a non-padded envelope and it is loose in the case. I took it out of the envelope and it rattle. It is a gift, So I hope it is not scratched. Not happy about that.

My girlfriend, now fiancé, loves SAO so this was a for sure game for her. She enjoys it and for the price I paid for the game no complaints. Good game for a fellow anime lover.

This is the game that you play solo or with people and actually solo makes it feel like a online game. NPCs actually in combat and running around fighting monsters. Love mechanic, weapons and armor to improve. Boss fights are interesting. Skills/builds you control. From someone who plays games constantly and owns over 1000+ this is actually a good product.

I bought this to see if the games were any good, should have bought the GGO version. The story line is good, but it takes forever to progress, and the bosses are kinda weak. Then Kirito is way more reserved than he is in the series, not as bad ass as he was there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buen juego, mala traducción

Desde mi punto de vista, el juego es bueno en cuanto a jugabilidad y quizá un poco en historia para alguien que le guste el anime o la novela, pero a esta le quita mucho el hecho de que la traducción, tanto al ingles como al español sean tan malas.

En cuanto a la compra no tuve ningún problema, llego en 2 días y en perfectas condiciones. Tengan en cuenta que el juego cuenta con 3 dlc que tendrían que comprar por separado.... si los quieren, claro

Es un buen juego pero muy parecido a sus antecesores, esperaba un cambio mayor en lo que se refiere a jugabilidad y no solo en graficos, si eres fan sword art online te va a encantar, de lo contrario hay mejores rpgs.
