game is good, the multiplayer feels amazing, you can even help people on lower levels and get rewarded with stuff of your level, now with season 2 they changed a lot of stuff and made amazing improvements, now all dailies and weekly quests give an absurd amount of exp for player acount and its easier to level up, of course the people playing the game is still not massive because its a sao game and its expensive so yeah it would be limited to specific people. its good if you can get this game on a sale, and play on ASIA SERVER because its where all the players are, the other 2 servers are dead sadly and even with 200 ping it plays fine

Good game with all best stuff from the previous ones. EU servers are rather empty but there is no problem in changing to Asia or NA (there are lots of players to do boss fight, co ops ...) Nice combos, cosmetics, outfits, etc. Fun to play. SIngle palyer story is not so bad either (story line) but quest there are a little repetitive. Overall, - for all fans of SAO is must have. for the otherr - good choce as well. like 7,5/10.

One of the best SAO game IMO. the movement is a bit clunky but after sometime it's alright. Not enough end game content however and it's too pricey.

I'm loving the game so far, I think that in the future it could get boring if they don't add new bosses, maps and other things to do, there are people saying they are waiting 30 minutes in queue, what a lie! The game adds AI when it no longer finds players and this takes a maximum of 2 to 3 minutes... There are still a lot of people playing, just choose the correct region according to timezone that there are people playing like switching to Asia sometimes (the ping is ok and at least I don't have lag).. I loved the game in so many ways, mainly for mixing common mechanics with those of ALO and GGO. I believe that the game still needs some "repeated" characters but in other classes, for example Asuna from GGO and ALO. The main story didn't hold me as much... I just played to unlock the characters, but the online makes up for it, I know a lot of people expected it to be a large-scale SAO MMORPG but this game is enough to have fun. The game is very niche so it may not appeal to such a large audience, but it's a good game anyway. I believe the graphics are ok, but the combat needs to improve (for example: you can get stuck with enemies when you try to dodge, there are long-range enemies and sometimes you have your sights fixed on another and can't see the attacks behind you) so it can be very easy to die because of it. I loved the skills and combat mechanics other than that, the number of bosses is not that large but for now it is enough. I also believe that the free-roam mode could have more enemies, have a bigger map, have dungeons and quests to do in groups or solo. and the timer for the instance to end is a little bad, it should be unlimited and players can join the sessions that are already in progress if they are not full. In general I loved the game, it's a really fun game, it's something I've always wanted (to play with more people on a large scale) the only negative point is that I've always been waiting for one mmorpg and not just 20 (which I don't always find because sometimes we fall for AI) I bought it at full price and in my country it is very expensive, but I recommend it on sale. This review may be edited in the future. Link start!
