Pros
- Fun story that even fans of the franchise can enjoy
- Great action RPG elements
- 4 party system adds elements of an MMO even when offline or online
- Lots of customization
Cons
- Delay inputs when fighting causes for stuttered actions during combat
- Battle pass seems oddly inserted into a game like this
- Lock on is poorly mapped and doesn’t recognize if enemies are behind you
In Summary
Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream is probably the best SAO game I’ve played to date (not that I have played all of them). It’s graphics are the best the series has had to now, as is the gameplay. However, the input lag is aggravating especially in more intense battles, and the implementation of a season pass in a 60$, even if its a “free” one for now, foreshadows something else in the future, especially with paid DLC coming as well. All in all there is a ton of content here to enjoy on or offline but i do hope a patch comes out to address the lag.
