I'm loving the game so far, I think that in the future it could get boring if they don't add new bosses, maps and other things to do, there are people saying they are waiting 30 minutes in queue, what a lie! The game adds AI when it no longer finds players and this takes a maximum of 2 to 3 minutes... There are still a lot of people playing, just choose the correct region according to timezone that there are people playing like switching to Asia sometimes (the ping is ok and at least I don't have lag).

I loved the game in so many ways, mainly for mixing common mechanics with those of ALO and GGO. I believe that the game still needs some "repeated" characters but in other classes, for example Asuna from GGO and ALO.

The main story didn't hold me as much... I just played to unlock the characters, but the online makes up for it, I know a lot of people expected it to be a large-scale SAO MMORPG but this game is enough to have fun.

The game is very niche so it may not appeal to such a large audience, but it's a good game anyway.

I believe the graphics are ok, but the combat needs to improve (for example: you can get stuck with enemies when you try to dodge, there are long-range enemies and sometimes you have your sights fixed on another and can't see the attacks behind you) so it can be very easy to die because of it. I loved the skills and combat mechanics other than that, the number of bosses is not that large but for now it is enough.

I also believe that the free-roam mode could have more enemies, have a bigger map, have dungeons and quests to do in groups or solo. and the timer for the instance to end is a little bad, it should be unlimited and players can join the sessions that are already in progress if they are not full.

In general I loved the game, it's a really fun game, it's something I've always wanted (to play with more people on a large scale) the only negative point is that I've always been waiting for one mmorpg and not just 20 (which I don't always find because sometimes we fall for AI) I bought it at full price and in my country it is very expensive, but I recommend it on sale.

* grindy FOMO battle pass
* very very low costume drop rates in co-op and boss raid
* gameplay loop that got stale really fast

For a game that advertise for its character customizability, the numbers of character costumes you naturally unlock in-game are too few. Majority of cosmetics are drops in co-op or boss raid which are very rare and stale gameplay makes it a boring grind.

The stale gameplay loop makes grinding for the battle pass very unpleasant and since battle pass has a time limit, you'll miss out on the cosmetics once its over.. it feels like I'm buying this game just to suffer.

So lets just break this down. If you like a story skip this. The story is terrible writing wise but seeing different characters interacting is nice. Game play isn't that bad at all I like the whole combat system though having skill trees would've been nice to see. Now why am I saying this is a fat no. Well I saw a review on here saying after about 3 minutes if you don't find randos you'll get bots and the activity will start. This is a flat out lie I needed to do a co op quest to progress and get higher level gear. I waited 4 minutes on Asian servers 4 minutes on american and I am currently at 12 minutes for eu. All 3 of them have been 1 person aka me in the play list. This absolutely blows and I wish they could just ask if you wanna do it with all bots. I already hate the co op quests and now I gotta sit here just to progress my gear level. If this gets changed then fine but right now this is atrocious.
