- Yes its finally time for Sword Art Online Last Recollection, this review is long overdue but here it is, we are finally diving in to it! And honestly as it’s been awhile since I played a Sword Art Online game I was looking forward to it!
Last time I played a Sword Art Online game which was not the greatest success… To a degree I can get over the heavy focus on monetization, lack of design or something like that. But I can’t get over the fact that whenever I boot up a Sword Art Online game there is a huge amount of good potential wasted on purpose.
My hope for Sword Art Online Last Recollection where unusually high. The trailers showed and promised things that got me very excited. Exploring the Dark Realm, a land the anime just skipped through, a direct continuation of story and world of Alicization Lycoris. And the newest waifu for the Kirito gang -Dorothy- looked very promising.
In other words a lot potential a lot of hope aaand lot to be ruined… but who knows! These games have surprised me a lot in the past! Sooo maybe it will do it again.

Yeah, I felt the same way about this game.
In the end it just boils down to play Hollow Realization or Fatal bullet (occasionally Hollow Fragment for me personally)
I think what made me dislike this one is just the fact it plays and is just a Lycoris sequel. They got rid of the accuracy stat which was nice but even then..I’d rather just play the older games because I feel like those just play better. A shame. If they make a new game somehow I hope it’s more like fatal bullet or Hollow Realization.
oh yeah I liked Hollow Fragment as well thou its a bit of a rougher sale than Hollow Realization or Fatal Bullet.
While I was finishing up this game/review I genuinely thought this was the last game for Sword Art Online but recently they announced Fractured Daydream so I guess they are going to take another shot at it.
Funnily enough, iirc the devs said that LR initially was supposed to be Lycoris dlc but that plan had changed early on. My guess is because the Lycoris game engine was barely holding itself together. While was prolly the smart thing to do, it ended up hurting both games in the long run. Imo Lycoris shouldve been the game made on Unreal 4 and LR just a large scale expansion. Maybe then both could’ve reached closer to their full potential.
that would make a lot of sense considering how the games turned out. While I dont beliebe engine swap would change problems with for example the story. I do agree that it could have made on other aspects a difference and there for indd getting closer in reaching its potential.
The combat looks fine the first you show it, but when 4 characters are all attacking with that many visual effects it gets really busy on screen. This is a shame as most models shown like great.
Thanks for yet another review
Visually it can get messy, to the point my recording even started to mess up xD
all that left is acel world vs sao, the new annouce sao game that will have 20 players raid will have a single player story as they confirm, is being made by the same guys who made fatal bullet.
Yes, that is going to be a rough one thou I am looking forward to complete the series as far as possible. We didnt get to see a lot of Fractured Daydream and while the premise is fine I am worried about the combat. Do it does give me hope if the same people are behind it that made Fatal Bullet.
