Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris marks a new era of Sword Art Online games, both graphically and narratively. This is an adventure for fans and newcomers that truly builds upon this virtual world through new characters and hundreds of quests. The downside is that you may have to clear a lengthy first chapter to discover everything it has to offer, but luckily for those who do, there’s so much awaiting them. There’s still some quality-of-life work that needs to be done in terms of loading times and assist pop-ins, but as a fan of the previous SAO games, this entry simply blew me away.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris feels like a run-of-the-mill JRPG, done in the style of SAO. Not ever did I think the game was downright bad or poorly made, but rarely was I taken or impressed by anything going on from a story or gameplay perspective. The game would have benefited greatly from leaning more into the online/MMO universe that it’s based on. However, fans of the anime and manga will surely still find some enjoyment with the latest adaptation of Sword Art Online.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris had the potential to be a standout game with a dynamic battle system and good RPG mechanics. However, the pacing is agonizingly slow and has unforgivable technical issues. Sadly, it’s only recommended for fans of the series or players with maximum patience.

Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris attempts to revamp the franchise and breathe new life into it, with very polarizing results.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is a mediocre game, ambitious but incapable of realizing its vision, plagued by an inadequate and lazy realization. Only for the most dedicated fans of Sword Art Online.

A broken mess in almost every way. Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris doesn't deliver on it's promised product. With so many technical issues it's hard to imagine anyone with the patience to get through the game. Alicization Lycoris should have been the crowning achievement in a beloved franchise but instead, it ends up being the worst title in the Sword Art Online franchise.

Truthfully, the only kind of person I can recommend this game to is a diehard Sword Art Online superfan who has never played a JRPG (or honestly, any other video game) in their life and therefore has no basis to compare the trainwreck that is Alicization Lycoris to anything else that has substance. Otherwise, just watch the anime. Or play a different game.

Story is great since it took the story of alicization arc to this game. Although the original story content is really, REALLY painfully mid. New character is also a very unlikeable character (she is likeable to a certain point). Gameplay is pretty okay for an RPG, but it doesnt feel flashy or good to play with. I understand the realistic approach with heavy sword = slow movement. But it doesnt work here. They tried to improve the speed of the combat, but the damage is done. Graphics looks outdated with Aquria's old engine, so dont expect any cool graphics. One thing i love though, is the motion capture cutscenes. They look so good and nice to watch.

Seria hipocrisia falar que o jogo é um lixo do mesmo jeito falar que o jogo é 10/10 tbm é exagero, mas com certeza é um 7. o jogo tem alguns problemas de otimização e por algum motivo na vila de Rulid (que é a primeira vila do jogo) o desempenho do lugar esta muito mal feito, tanto nos consoles quanto no PC. creio que esse problema deva ser corrigido com algum patch o mais rápido possivel e também ja melhoram a otimizaçao do jogo em geral nas plataformas. Em Questão de Historia: é muito boa padrao Sword art online, se você é fan do anime com certeza vai gostar. lembrando que esse jogo é continuaçao dos anteriores, nao é necessariamente obrigado a jogar os outros para jogar este, mas eu particularmente recomendo. Trilha sonora do jogo é muito boa assim como no anime e nos outros jogos, nada de novo. Jogabilidade é boa porém esta mais lenta que SAO hollow realization nao entendi por que fizeram isso, isso nao estraga o jogo mas mts talvez nao gostem. Graficos bonitos com certeza é o jogo mais bonito de Sword art online mas que poderia ser mais polido e com menos serilhados no mundo aberto. os outros nao eram feios mas esse se superou tanto na parte grafica quanto nas cenas do jogo estao lindas.grafico para jogo de anime tem que ser assim misturado com um 2D, e jamais devem ser feito do mesmo jeito do Jump Force aquilo é horrivel. Resumindo:Alicization Lycoris é um jogo bom, infelizmente tem problemas de otimização em todas as plataformas. como eu disse no começo esta longe de ser um lixo igual alguns colocam mas tbm esta longe de ser uma obra prima igual alguns colocaram. para mim pelo menos é um jogo legal porém mediano. espero que o próximo jogo seja melhor em questões tecnicas. Para todos os fans se inscrevam no canal do youtube central sword art online la voces tem noticias sobre os jogos , sobre o anime e muito mais encontrarão por lá.

The game is the spiritual successor of Hollow Realization, with improved battle mechanics and beautiful graphics. The plot of the first chapter repeats the plot of the anime, the first arch of Alicization before the start of the War. Instead of war, it goes in its direction. Well introduced and spelled out a new character that appeared in this part. I am pleased with the abundance of the plot component visualized as a Visual Novel. The only drawback at the start is the problem of optimizing the game on all platforms, but the developer is up to date and is preparing a patch.
