Grindy game with lots of things to keep you busy. As well as ways to beat high-level enemies, even at low levels. The Latest expansion of the PSP game SAO IM, so if you're on the fence, check that. Also have a playlist on it in my main channel. Though there are lots of differences between the 2, it might not be the best 'Demo' for this, so you can check one of the many playlists I made of this game from start to 1st run, complete with all achievements unlocked. Open a new tab to see the full playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3GskGvv4S8&list=PL-_EX_vMMS5pLfdLkGTa7EyOl9w97LYU7&index=1&pp=gAQBiAQBsAgC Can use Multiplayer solo to power level and/or mass 4 partner power level your partners, or just get low-level partners to the same level as your active partner, with no worry of game over if one of the partners falls. Sword Skill Stars can't increase if used on an enemy out of level many times. Still has Multiplayer Online that depends on the number of players playing this game at the time, though some glitches can either be used to speed up or slow down your progress. Like the one involving the Heroine's Exclusive Armors, where if you join a host with fewer of those unlocked, you lose those, though if you join a host that has more or all Exclusive Armors unlock you get those you have not unlocked via AI training. The game data is easy to manage if you know where it is, letting you make a backup in case you're not a fan of the game's auto-save. You can even rename it to a different save data via deletion of a newly made data when selecting an empty slot, then renaming the copy to the name of the deleted data. This can be used to duplicate many items and equips, lessening the grind for this game as well as an easy money, but it needs 2 players who trust each other and are familiar with the save backup and reassignment. Really only need to get MC to at least level 200 and finish Hollow Area 1st(Or before finishing Floor 87 Boss Battle), then AIncrad to be on the road to get all achievements in one run, provided you have a 2 Handed Sword user at high trust and have not saved her before the Final Battle. Sad that the Character you can get in NG+ does not get more CG, which hence why you can platinum this in your 1st run. For those interested in anticipating your or your enemy's attacks as well as chaining attacks, there are systems for it, with some benefits you can unlock for those things that depend on you getting down the timing right. The OSS system for SS chains increases the time window when saved, though, depending on the battle, those timings can lag or change. For those interested in Solo and Challenge runs, it should be doable in-game, except for certain times where you will need to partner with someone else for story reasons. Partners with the 1 from story or 4 in Multi Solo are controlled by AI, which you can influence to suit your play style. I guess that is all for now. If you have questions, you can leave a comment, as this is really the only game I Platinum here so far due to my wish to check its difference to SAO IM.

I had to play the entire game in one sitting because there is no log out button.

It's okay, I guess. Better than most of SAO/anime game I'd say. Grab it on sale if you have nothing else to play. And yeah, do yourself a favour. Play it with a controller. Keyboard & mouse controls suck. It's not well optimised for them.

I remember when I first heard of an SAO game which was Infinity Moment, I really wanted to get the game as a SAO fan but later see that its not getting an English localization. Then they made a remake it off it on the PS Vita which made me save up to get a Vita and bought Hollow Fragment. And now here playing it on Steam. The game is really for SAO fan and mostly will need to watch the anime or at least on the first arc from the first season of the show after they reach floor 75 since this is where the story of the game begins. Hollow Fragment is set on a alternate timeline that is set differently from the anime or light novels after the characters reach the 75th floor. The story is different from the original with a different scenario and new characters that does not exist in the original. Future game title after Hollow Fragment are mostly sequels to it with some similarities on incidents happening from the original. Hollow fragment plot is mainly the team have to keep pushing through to beat thee game by reaching the 100th floor while encountering a new place to explore which is the hollow area and meeting new characters. The other plot is more for fans to see more interaction with the other characters be it bonding or just filler (mostly). The gameplay is alright in my opinion. Combat is fine with skills to earn and use to defeat enemies. Games objectives are mostly a repetitive structure on reaching the floor's boss and defeat them to then progress the to next floor level and repeat again until you reach the 100th floor. The other one is the Hollow area where Kirito explores to uncover the mystery of what is the hollow area with Philia who is the new character Kirito meet's when randomly appear in the hollow area. I'll say its a fine game and was design for the fans. I do say the later games after this did get better than this like the next game after this which is the sequel of it SAO Lost Song with the gameplay completely different due to be more of an action base game but the next game after that is Hollow Realization where it's like a mix of Hollow Fragment and Lost Song.
