Sword Art Online - Re: Hollow Fragment is definitely for the fans, especially since it makes no real effort to ease newcomers into the world.
Repetitive and with a weak story, Hollow Fragment is not that great of a game, even if fans of the anime will still like it. The budget price helps it getting passing grades.
Overall Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment is a game for true anime fans. For those looking for a traditional RPG, I suggest watching the first part of season one of the series before diving into this game as it will make more sense.

This game is really bad and not for everyone. If you love SAO and dating sim, It is playable but still not good.

Vamos la. Eu esperei termina o jogo pra fazer essa analise pra ver se realmente vale a pena comprar ou não , ja adianto que esse jogo não é pra todo mundo, lembrando que estamos falando de um porte de um jogo de 2014 então releve algumas coisas dele. Eu avia comprado o jogo a bastante tempo, porem quando comecei a jogar achei muito sem graça e sem sal , porem resolvi dar uma chance e me surpriendi em algumas coisas. O jogo é um "E SE..." de sword art online que conta o que aconteceria se Kirito não tivesse derrotado Kayaba no andar 75°. a ideia em si é ótima porém mal explorada e uma outra historia em paralelo . Pontos negativo: o jogo em si é ultrapassado, cheio de ctrl C e ctrl V, inimigos repetitivos que fica a ser ridiculo a pouca originalidades dos monstros ( isso inclue o bosses ), dialogos com imagens estaticas no fundo, alguns bugs ( n tive bugs que estragavam a experiencia mas acontecia ), I.A que não serve pra muita coisa alem de bater e te ajudar nos combos Pontos positivos : poder saber como teria acabado a anime se tivesse continuado os andares. Um aprofundamento maior em alguns personagens. Eu cheguei apenas a zerar a parte dos 100° andares e não me senti motivado a fazer a parte do hollow land. sendo bem sincero tava cansativo. apenas no andar 98° que eu achei que o jogo começou a ficar bom ( sim no 98) porque era sempre a mesma coisa até chegar lá , até tinha algumas coisas nos outros andares mas nada wow!. EM FIM para quem eu recomendo esse jogo: PESSOAS QUE GOSTAM MUITO DE SAO e que queiram saber mais sobre a historia do anime, se você não manja nada do universo do anime e quer tentar jogar esse jogo , vai passar tedio ou raiva. Minha nota é 7/10 levando em conta a época e eu senti que a empresa estava apenas testando esse jogo

It's a game for pure fans of the brand, who will enjoy the genre hybridisation. Everyone else will have a very hard time getting up to speed with the story and gameplay.

Эта самая удачная реализация аниме в игре. Тут все на высшем уровне. Те кто занижают не понимают что они делают. Она полностью передает атмосферу аниме-ранобэ. 1.Никакой магии 2. Сюжет аля продолжение 75-100 этажей + отдельная история. 3. Побочки доставляющие удовольствие. 4. Неожиданные встречи (если лезть везде *плак) 5. Боевка идеал - в других будет хуже (играх) 6. Контента тонны.

This review is going to be a bit different. In short... this game is not everyone's cup of tea. Please select the most appropriate review based on how much of a SAO fan you are. TL;DR: Only SAO fans will enjoy this game, but the enjoyment is absolutely immense if you are a huge fan. 1. SAO Uberfan (10/10) If for whatever reason you are an uberfan of the SAO series. Watched all the anime multiple times, read all the LNs up to Aliciazation, read all the side stories, supporting materials, etc. and think of all the what-ifs. And on top of that if you always have fond memories of the Aincrad arc and can't wait for Progressive series to be animated? The short answer is simply that this game is an absolute must-play for you. You will end up having an absolute blast over hundreds of hours simply because this is more of that stuff you wanted to smoke. 2. SAO General Fan (8/10) If you watched the anime, or perhaps read a few LNs, and consider SAO one of the more enjoyable series out there, you should still be able to reap some fun from this game, especially considering its value. You will find Aincrad a fascinating place, and certainly appreciate all the opportunities to see how the good ol' Aincrad characters can develop in an alternative timeline. However, you may end up finding the grind and gameplay somewhat dreary, so don't expect the game to break any new grounds for your experience. 3. JRPG fan watched anime (6/10) If you enjoy JRPGs in general and have at least watched the original SAO anime series or read the first few LNs, then this game is still a fair option on PS4. Let's be frank, there aren't that many exclusives out there at the moment. There are some interesting gameplay mechanics, but SAO is probably what you'd expect in a fairly traditional JRPG with a fair bit of grind, somewhat typical storyline, and generic environments. Nothing will stand out to you at the start, but you may end up appreciating the series if you find the characters, setting or story interesting. 4. JRPG fan (4/10) If you are not familiar with the original series at all, this game will confuse the hell out of you. It will just be a bunch of random characters talking about random topics you don't understand, and the story itself may seem non-sensual to you. Coupled with the fact that the gameplay, graphics, performance, etc. are not stellar, it's highly unlikely that you will like this game. 5. Not a fan of JRPG (1/10) If you don't even like JRPG and also never heard of SAO, then this game is not for you. Even for an entry title into the JRPG genre this game is not your best bet. Perhaps you can still give it a try if someone gifts it to you. Maybe you'll start liking anime or something.

The game itself isn't an especially memorable one, but for fans of the anime, this version at least does them justice.

This game would definitely benefit from some further polish, but I found a fairly addictive adventure/RPG game beneath its imperfections.

Despite the major frame-rate drops and the repetitive quests and gameplay, Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment is fairly entertaining, thanks to a fast-paced combat system and a large amount of weapons and skills to pick from.

At the end of the day, Re: Hollow Fragment is lazy in every sense of the word, and just isn't worth the dollars that Bandai Namco is asking for.

I passed on the Vita version when I learned about this version. (Pre-purchased Lost Song and got this for free. I couldn't let this offer slide). But it wasn't just for the offer. This version has improved visuals, extra content, and most importantly, a better translation that the infamous Vita translation. It plays very much like an MMORPG, very similar to FF XIV, and while the main story is a single-player experience, it is worth noting that the PS4 version includes an online multiplayer mode. One of the game's biggest drawbacks is the amount of useless dialogue it includes. As a fan of the anime myself, it was pretty interesting to read various character interactions, but eventually, it does get a bit tedious. That aside though, the game offers a solid combat system, tons of sidequests, and a very lengthy campaign that is sure to keep any SAO fan playing for 100+ hours.

Mediocre, this game has lots of content and "fluff" to do, but soon as I started playing I noticed some things that bothered and still bothers me, FPS drops, the game is Vita port and bad port at that, the character movement, the running speed is way too high, I mean really high, it feels off and bad. Unless you are hardcore SAO fan, pass this game. It is a bad port and feels like a cash grab.

I was a big SAO fan and thought this might be good. The graphics quality is honestly underperformed for a 2015 game. Most of the time I don't mind bad graphics, except this time they charged too much for bad performance. It looks like a bad game version of the good old classic 2004 flyff but in HD and the gameplay is the same. Most of the time after half an hour of fighting and exploring I had to watch static character portraits talking to each other. At the beginning I had enough interest to listen to the long dialogues, which got less and less after some hours and after a while it got a bit annoying listening to SO MANY pointless conversations. Still waiting for namco to make a good sao game of the first arc.
