Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization Review

Most critics believe that "Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization" wasn't able to successfully transition from anime to game, RPG Fan reported. The game is the third time that developer Aquira tried to create the perfect formula for a single-player MMORPG.

Sword Art Online revolves around the story of players who got locked into a fictional VR MMORPG. Dying in that world would also mean dying in real life. The only way to get out of the game is to beat the final boss.

This is an exciting premise, but the game simply doesn't deliver as Ainground is just like any other VR game. One of the game's biggest problems is that there is no motivation for the players to continue forward in the narrative. There is no exact purpose for playing the game.

It has all the clichés of a JRPG, but players can't get invested in an NPC game that is set in a game. The plot of "Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization" is hard to take seriously, according to reviews.
