I absolutely love the Sword Art Online franchise; I was immediately hooked on the anime and since have picked up the manga and the light novels. Many feel that it garners undue attention because it was a fad, that it just happened to be popular at the right time, and I think that gives massive disservice to the wonderful stories found within the pages. When I first reviewed Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment, I noted how superficial things like graphics and controls could be improved, but loved the story and how I could build my own relationships (SINON FOR LIFE!). Though I did not review Lost Song when it was released, Chris certainly enjoyed it, feeling it was an improvement in most aspects from the core game. Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization is a return to the VRMMORPG and again, nails numerous little quirks and really solidifies itself as a fantastic "single-player MMO" action-RPG that follows Kirito and friends through yet another wonderful and deep world.
Bandai Namco kicked off a new AniMAY Sale on the North American Switch eShop this week. Anime games are here with some of their biggest discounts yet, ranging from Naruto to Sword Art Online.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In this article, I’m aiming to look at 10 of the best DLC packs on Vita – ones that offer a compelling additional experience for a reasonable price and so are well worth checking out. There were a whole load to sift through in writing this, so don’t be too disheartened if your favourite isn’t here, but do let me know in the comments what you think!"
It’s Anime Week at Fanatical. The official Steam key retailer has a number of anime-style and anime-inspired games on sale, including Disgaea 1 + 2 PC, Phantom Brave PC, Sword Art Online, and Skullgirls.
