Poor design choices, terrible optimization, and shoehorned fanfic-esque story. Even as a fan of SAO it feels like a spit in the face. At this point, I'm only going to try finishing it mainly because I paid.

fun to start, then it became very repetitive. combat feels stale after a while with the same 2-3 moves, quests become boring and almost a copy paste of previous quests, the map exploration is boring with the same back

RECOMMENDED ONLY TO FANS Who is this for? SAO fans: Yes, if you understand what you are buying = 6.5/10 Everyone else: No. There are better action RPGs available for much less money = 5/10 Fair value in its present

It's a fun game! Just poorly executed for how potential it has. I was really hoping the world would seemed more lived in for being an MMO setting. If you love the idea of making your own character in the SAO world it's
