As a lover of SAO. This is your dreamboat. You ought to do research however as this game is still a live-service. Making it a complicated mixed-bag for some fans. Especially if your not a console gamer. Don't expect full lobbies at this point in time.

They may curate this game in the future I expect until the PS6 release. Please keep in mind it's keeping the Asian audience in mind. Reona is the star player along with Kirito. You get to hear her awesome music and concerts online. You also get the chance to try new things and meet people you'd otherwise wouldn't expect. The discord servers are active.

As of today I can't recommend this game for everyone. As it was a impulsive buy after watching the Nintendo Direct 2024.

I thought it would be a cool pickup seeing how I was already buying SAO games on-sale for Bandai.

Unfortunately I have to say this game is not optimized for PC. I have a Geforce RTX 3060. It's not cutting it. Jade Maze the most hated map is unbalanced and overall many others were unprepared for this launch. (Like the new monster hunter)

Gaming has moved on without us. Not the fault of these devs however it's solely the people above them keeping people uninformed. The beta did give us a test run. But these days benchmarks and beta tests are just not enough.

As someone who spent hours fixing my own and others PC to make this game "playable" I can't recommend this unless you have a high-end PC game. Even then be prepared to grind your face off. It's a time commitment. Otherwise a imperfect beautiful game. It's a bomb story with a addicting multiplayer when done right.

Game is trash. if you want a decent MMO SAO game go play fatal bullet although that's died off with age.

would not recommend even if its on sale wish i could refund it to buy something worth playing

Fun piece of ♥♥♥♥ buy on sale
