Bandai Namco released an interesting new video of its upcoming JRPG Sword Art Online Last Recollection comparing it against its predecessor.
Ritual of Bonds Vol.2 follows on from Vol.1 to add a smattering of new content to SWORD ART ONLINE Last Recollection
Sword Art Online Last Recollection is a fun Action RPG that mixes mechanics and systems from its MMORPG origins.
VGChartz's Thomas Froehlicher: "While Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris was bitter, Sword Art Online Last Recollection turned out to be sweet enough for me to enjoy it. There are more characters to choose from than ever before, the combat has improved enough to feel great despite annoying balance issues, the world is interesting to explore, and the game is visually convincing. It's a genuinely good product for Sword Art Online fans, but a bit less so for others. The clumsy storyline and the lack of polish for certain gameplay mechanics prevent it from qualifying as a truly great JRPG overall."
Definitely a visual improvement. But at the same time, it looks more like stock Unreal Engine or Unreal store to be more precise.
In any case, the issues with the SAO games were never the graphics. But the shallow gameplay and the terrible story/characters.
the gameplay is definitely that kills it for me. everytime
and the anime was so good. well, season 1 and 3 ha
