Coming from background of completing ALL SAO Games (except for Alicization for now and the latest one)

The gameplay is fantastic, feel likes you can really control them as if they're in the anime, when you got used and understand the controls, I made sure I go through the tutorials and enhancing armament, release recollection, sacred arts etc. are 10/10

The storyline and how it presents the story is as if you're watching the anime, they have and change their expressions, realistically, and I come from a background of completing SAO games from HF to LS to HR to AW vs SAO to SAO Fatal Bullet (@nigagaby for proof) and yes I purposely complete them in ascending order for the true experience and it took awhile to get to this game Alicization Lycoris, for those who felt after watching all of SAO's anime (as of now Season 3), This storyline is the absolute storyline you needs to experience, by watching AND playing, 11/10

Played it for 14 hours now,

the only -ve I would say about the game, which is just only one, and not that big of a deal but for me this issue can be fixed by many methods and the issue as of now writing this (12/11/2023) is when interacting with NPCs, they have the Y or Triangle button above their heads right (for subquests and vanders etc.) and it's a hit or miss you either do something else like throw a knife or tap on them to start a conversation instead, this happened multiple times for me and I had to adjust my position to accurately talk to that ONE npc, and if there are other NPCs around that particular NPCs it would be a hassle to try to interact with it.

But overall, aside from that tiny issue, this game is how the director wants the game to be played and storytelled so players gotta respect how they're wanting their endproducts to look like, not EVERYTHING has to be what the players want because "at the end of the day" this is directed by it's director, which is in it's way interesting because I don't get bored listening to their voicelines and always wanting to know WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT?? so

10/10 - @nigagaby
