Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris Reviews
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is a disappointingly dull action game.
There's a solid base to work from but the development team ultimately failed to piece numerous promising elements together and produce a captivating adventure.
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris makes a great effort to entertain the player and up to a certain point succeeds. Eventually, however, it completely loses the character it tried to build during the first hours.

Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris is a deeply flawed game but has the potential to be good.
I'm sure it has its niche but if you're simply an RPG fan looking for a new game to sink some time into, you can do a lot better than Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris. Its lack of respect for the player's time and unforgivable performance issues are downright ridiculous.
A broken mess in almost every way. Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris doesn't deliver on it's promised product. With so many technical issues it's hard to imagine anyone with the patience to get through the game. Alicization Lycoris should have been the crowning achievement in a beloved franchise but instead, it ends up being the worst title in the Sword Art Online franchise.
Aside from fans of the series, there aren’t many this game could be recommended to unless they’re looking for a flawed and boring ordeal.
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is more of an Anime than a video game, and if you are interested in this type of entertainment, there are far better options available on the market.

With an expansive main campaign that takes far too long to get started and quite a few underdeveloped mechanics, this Sword Art game is a tough sell for anyone but the most dedicated fans.
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris had great potential to be not only the biggest, but the best game in the franchise. Despite having a good combat system and being fun and challenging to synchronize the commands of four characters, hours of unnecessary conversation interrupts the pace of action, in addition to technical problems compromising the game. In the end, it's more of a playable adaptation of the anime's third season than, in fact, a new experience for fans.

Sword Art Online: Alicizaton Lycoris is plagued by performance issues, a poorly paced story, and combat mechanics that aren't explained well.
While Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is ambitious in scope it ends up being a largely unenjoyable title full of technical problems, bugs, and horrible pacing.
The energizing battle and fascinating characters aren’t sufficient to spare this activity RPG from being simply one more frustrating commentary in this current anime’s inheritance.
Between the elongated dull story, the boring and monotonous gameplay, and frequent and in your face technical issues there is little to redeem Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris. Fans of the franchise will want to avoid it, and those interested in a bad game won't even be able to get a laugh out of it.
Truthfully, the only kind of person I can recommend this game to is a diehard Sword Art Online superfan who has never played a JRPG (or honestly, any other video game) in their life and therefore has no basis to compare the trainwreck that is Alicization Lycoris to anything else that has substance. Otherwise, just watch the anime. Or play a different game.
Sword Art Online Alicization: Lycoris promises to be a great game, but it needs some fixes. It can be a incredible Action-RPG, but it stagnates in the middle of the road, due to the low frames per second and the slow camera’s movement.
