SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream Reviews

this is a good game and it diff from the other sao games

dead game with no new content in ages instead lets release more char dlcs yeah makes sense

Decent story, good enough graphics. Gameplay is fun. Not enough to do. The grind is a bit too grindy. Not enough characters, and there will be a variant in DLC 4? I would have rather had one of the at least dozen other characters from the previous games.

There is a lot to do, but the sad hard truth there isn't a whole bunch of fellow players. The game does compensate with adding Ai controlled "players" to allow the game to continue to be enjoyed. I bought this when it first released, but dropped it. I got back into playing recently and have really been enjoying myself. The story is decent for what it is, and the meat of it the online play is fun.

This game is actually very satisfying and fun to play, i felt like the combat ran smoothly. Never played much more than fatal bullet, but this one seemed to be more advanced and I liked it. I feel it would have more than 60 players online if they had properly advertised it. Or maybe they did in Japan and I'm just retarded. AAAANYWAYS. I'd say it's pretty good for the reputation SAO games have. I started on Xbox, then built a PC and got this game here too.

great game, plays fast, I have only done the multiplayer parts not single player yet so I cannot say if that is good or not, but multiplayer is extremely fun, the game does hit slow downs here and there but I feel every SAO game has been like that.

I love this game coop sao maxing fun with friends even people but hope more update forward new things stuff

Is a cluster truck grind fest, the problem game play isnt fun enough to handle it. Endgame to use another character passive you have to grind the character rank to 30, before xp event that was even worse. and it still sucks. FOMO is the name of the game. TLDR: if you wanna 100% do it fast before the close it I dont see this game lasting long with bandai track record. waste of time and money Lacks basic QOL stuff like mass dismantle by rarirty 3 step to reach quit to desktop this is a mess. edit3: after 100%, most boring grinding sheet I have played recently. Boring repetitive maps annoying mechanic that makes you get less xp if you split annoying padding when making spheres for habilities they are sp[lit by weapons type and class type for acessories. Requires minum number of people to do extreme raids. Builds take way to long to come online, then lacks progression lake. Really PLayer rank and Character rank? dlc characters that are overpowered. Fomo season stuff. Deplorable will never get stuff from dimps ever again

I refunded the game after completing few story quest and trying out the exploration. I would say it has potential but with the consistent DC from the lobby and long queue for multiplayer, I would say its a hard pass. Also they have cash shop for cosmetics which I believe its just waste of money to invest in when there isn't any solid player base. If this is just a free to play game or at least sell 20 USD, I would reconsider and playing it longer.

TLDR - Don't waste your money on this game. If you REALLY want to try it buy it on sale other wise don't waste your money. Also make sure you check out the multiplayer modes before the steam refund period is up because that is where majority of the content is and the story mode alone is not worth getting the game for. This game had a lot of potential, but it really fell short. The devs have not added any truly new content to the game since launch. It is all re-colors and re-skins for outfits, weapons, stages enemies and bosses. [h1] UPDATE [/h1] They added one completely new boss. It is a nightmare of constant AOE attacks and everything is a resist spot except for the Weak Points that are actually constantly changing position. The wait times for quests and raids in this game run the gambit. If you are on at a high traffic time which is usually when the Asian players are on then you will be getting in to your raid or quest in a reasonable time. Though if you are playing any other time than peak hours you could be stuck in queue for a long time. The longest I have been in a queue and still never got in was 30 minutes. The game play its self can be fun, but is very repetitive after a while. The game is most fun when playing with friends in a voice chat from my experience. There are still several glaring issues though: 1. There are to many tiers of Quests and Raids which makes it much a harder then it already is to find a people that are doing what you want to. This game has seasons. Every season lasts 3 months and at the start of each season there is a level cap increase and new tier of difficulty added. Further exacerbating the issue. 2. When the max level goes up so does the max level of obtainable equipment. Thus you need to either use the VERY rare rank up item to boost your equipment level or rebuild your equipment again with the hard to get effects that you need to collect. Either way you still need to get a drop of Epic or Legendary equipment that is for the class or character you are trying to build. The drop rates for these are ABYSMAL and there is NO GUARANTEE if you do get a drop its is for you characters class or that specific character. 3. They have added a new piece of equipment that can only be crafted once you have enough of its specific currency. Then if the effects on it are not to your liking you have to spend more currency to get a randomly generated new effect. Thank fully you can do this separately for each effect. When I tried out this new addition to the game it took for ever to get one with One effect I wanted and still could not get any other effects I wanted on it. 4. The fastest way to get any where in the game is the spam dodge button. If you don't you will be left behind ALL the other players. 5. There are meta characters in this game you will find almost no mater what you do if there is someone playing a meta character you will not beat them on the damage board at the end of a run. Additionally every character has a best way to play them and it really feels like some of those ways were NEVER intended to be a thing. Some are just so ridiculous its not even funny and to make matters worse the devs have not tried to re-balance anything. The EX raids the Highest level of content in the game are fucking awful. They rely on well timed dodges or blocks and high damage out out. If you don't have the damage output you will run out of time and fail if you can't block or dodge attacks most will one shot you. there is also a 3 down limit after that you are fail the EX Raid. Additionally if no one revives you with in 12 seconds when you are downed you get fail. To top it all off they keep adding random crap to the stages that you need to worry about because that shit also has a chance to kill you. To top it all off unless you are in Asia your going to experience terrible latency at times that will KILL your experience with the game. That is because the devs consolidated all the servers to the Asian one as so few others played on the NA and EU servers when they were around. I still play on occasion, if I feel like it, if a friend or two is playing, but by and large I don't touch the game anymore. Its not worth the head ache or the frustration it can cause me.
