PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Re: Hollow Fragment is a definitive improvement over its previous release, however it's a shallow one which focuses on fixing issues which shouldn't even have been there in the first place and adding moderately useless stuff.

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.

Playstation Vita's revision of the original game that launched last year, with better visuals and translation issues solved, although it still has some frame issues. Perfect for those waiting Sword Art Online Lost Song.

The definitive version of SAO's videogame adaptation, Re: Hollow Fragment suffers from an identity crisis being on PS4, but shines overall with its loyalty to the series and its visual novel elements.

Despite several unnecessarily daft design choices, jumping into the shoes of Kirito can be a lot of fun, and for the game's budget price, it's easy to recommend to anyone who's up for a spot of anime adventure.

A not very solid port for PS4 of a sweet and fun PS Vita Action RPG. Better visuals but FPS issues not found in the original.

Outside of the shoddy camera and twitchy control, the rest of the game’s pacing, design, and over-indulged sense of immersion steer it down paths only the biggest of fans might enjoy.

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

Even though there is very little that has changed since the Hollow Fragment Vita release, the multiplayer aspect definitely adds to the game experience and makes it feel slightly more like the MMO depicted in the series.

For the most part the story elements are deftly handled and Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment offers up a solid RPG experience at a budget price.
