Sword Art Online: Lost Song - PlayStation 4

A game I never thought to love, but it ended me getting attached to it, the game represents very well the anime and it has its own original stories, missions and actions, if you love fantasy and RPGs you should give it a try, it won't dissapoint you.

To make a long story short, I really liked this game. After watching both seasons of Sword Art Online, I immediately fell in love with everything about the series and shortly after googled if there were any video games relating to this series. Well, there were! I found two and after looking at gameplay from both, I decided to buy Lost Song.I'm not gonna get into why I love the game too much but basically, if you're a fan of SAO, you're probably gonna enjoy this game. It's fun, kinda simple, and addicting for a good while. I wish there more variety of online missions but, I still really like playing online regardless.In the end, I really enjoyed the game a lot. I also wish the story was a bit longer but oh well. I enjoyed it to the point that I even got a platinum trophy for it.So in the very end, if you're an SAO fan I would give this game a try. If not, maybe wait for the new one coming out this fall. :)

I had so much fun playing as DIFFERENT characters from the show! Simply go to the inn, and select your character from the desk!What's more, you can CHANGE their costumes! You have Sinon's GGO Avatar, and Kirito's GGO Avatar, along with other outfits! It's just amazing!You can fly AND fight dragons in the sky. You can explore ALO in a flight mode! You can slash through endless hords of monsters, or you can progress the story!Honesty it is so fun! And while you don't have English dub, or a cinematic story mode, the story is well written. I played Hollow Realization for the 1st time after this, and absolutely hated it. It was a PowerPoint!If you like SAO and ALO, this is a must must must have! I saw awful reviews, and honesty those people were so very wrong! This game rocks!

You completed a quest? Congrats you get a 5 minute cut scene. You walk across town? You shall be rewarded with another cut scene. Just finished a cut scene? Let's celebrate the end of the cut scene with yet another cut scene.The actual game play is great, with lots of skill and sword crafting options. You can even play as asuna in a towel! Flying is great fun and leveling up is integrated in various bug-murdering side quests. Only complaint is the ridiculous amount of cut scenes. (Which you can fast-forward through, but you might miss a little bit of the plot). I would still rate the game as a 5/5, but prepare yourself for the dialogue.

I was very disappointed by this game. I thought I would be playing some type of JRPG with a story in the theme of Sword Art Online. What I got instead was a room with hundreds of random mobs that you fight, practically no story, and terrible controls. While in the air, swinging the sword causes you to be stuck at the height you had jumped to. It also took me an hour just to figure out how to use healing potions (since you don't heal over time) however these cannot be purchased so there are only 2-3 per "stage". These stages are just large circular rooms filled with hundreds of mobs (not at all related to SAO by the way) who don't actually target you, or if they do will only weakly follow you around slowly. Gameplay consists of flying from one edge of the area to the other over all the mobs, then fighting a "boss", and repeating. This gets old very fast, especially remembering that there is no way to heal between fights except for a few healing potions, and that before each boss the game autosaves, so you always start with the same amount of health and you have to watch an unskippable cutscene every time you die. I do not recommend, you could find better games in the free section of steam greenlight or your local walmart's bargain bin.

If you love the SAO series, you'll definitely love the game since you're in control of Kirito (or your custom Kirito) throughout his adventures. It's basically a side story of the 2nd season where (without mentioning spoilers) monsters are trying to destroy the town, a group of villains trying to overcome the government and trying to kill Kirito. It's a great game. Try it out.
