I really liked it in the beginning, but the game just keeps on yapping and yapping, and where mini bosses where mini bosses in the end they become total bullet sponges, bosses are copy pasted, way to many bullet sponges. And in the end everything just becomes pretty much the same. Really the game starts of very nice and fun but it turns into a ridiculous slogfest in the final chapters. The only reason why I'm finishing this game is because I've done a lot to get this far. But i'm fighting every urge not to quit. Oh yeah the last quests take 5 hours each but no why would I be able to save in between, yeah the worst gimmick to ever choose. Come on man I got things to do responsibilities, let me at least quicksave or something. Cause yeah I love keeping my pc on for just a insanely stupid gimmick the devs thought is fun.

Bandai won't learn..! - The only thing good about this game, is the the gameplay combat, hugely enhanced from the last game, but that's it. - They keep going with the 10 seconds gameplay, then 30 seconds yapping. - The maps are small, and aren't even good. - Kirito is still aannoying character. - Performance on PC is good as long you don't put graphics on Very High. - The same problem from the last game, 100% of GPU use at the Main Menu. - Party is too big with 4 characters, too much visual pollution, also the use o Kirito on the party is mandatory, and once again, you can swap to just one character besides having 4 characters on the party.

It'll be an easy 8/10 if they take the fun gameplay and feature from Alicization Lycoris, and improve apon it. Instead they took away the fun features,no gameplay depth instead make it too simple, and the world is painfully too linear. This game highest point is 100% it's story and the new character dynamic with Kirito. I would recommend this game for hardcore SAO fans.
