PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

With its combat system being easily to learn and play and with quite a large amount of content, this title becomes an interesting alternative in the genre and for the series fans.

A good tie-in of the original anime series, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is a solid JRPG, a bit repetitive and with the difficulty not well balanced.

Fatal Bullet isn't perfect, but it's a very enjoyable game thanks to its well-designed core mechanics. If you like SAO, you'll enjoy this game.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is the best SAO game that I’ve played since Re: Hollow Fragment.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is a fun action RPG with technical flaws holding it back from true greatness.

Perhaps the best Sword Art Online game thus far. While the game’s setting does detract a bit from the visuals, the gameplay and overall world of Gun Gale Online more than makeup for it.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is not a bad game per se, there are no real flaws or problems, but the overall experience is a little bland and generic. Things get a little (but just a little) better if you play with some friends, even in PvP. It's your typical product that will only please the hardcore fans of the original material, nothing more.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is an atypical - but funny - RPG with a lot of TPS features, made by Dimps (also known as Dragon Ball Xenoverse developers).

While the game is a lot of fun, it is hard to shake the feeling that if it was a full MMO it would be better. The Co Op mode goes someway to fix this and thankfully there is plenty of content to keep fans of the genre and of the series occupied. Definitely worth playing if you want an anime inspired world to run around in for a long time.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet boasts the most frenetic and satisfying gameplay among those proposed so far by the various episodes of the Bandai Namco saga. Nevertheless, the lack of longevity of the plot, the choice to present a silent and anonymous protagonist, overshadowing the beloved characters of the original cast, prevent the game from being carried away by a fairly flat and redundant narrative interweaving, facilitating the premature abandonment.
