A really fun collection of the three main .hack//G.U. games previously released on the PS2 I definitely had a hell of a fun time playing this and slowly seeing the series improve.

The story is legitimately gripping stuff and although Haseo isn't really all that pleasant of a main character at first, I did quickly grow to like him a lot at the end. I wasn't quite sold on the gameplay at first and though it would grow repetitive but even that got improved overtime as well.

And as a big ol' Brucie bonus, we get a fourth mini-instalment that acts as essentially a epilogue to the entire series as Haseo goes off to find Ovan and the climax is just fantastic stuff. It's short but it's legitimately sweet stuff and helps to perfectly round off a great HD remaster of these three games. (Really impressive how they got pretty much everyone back to reprise their roles for this and all of them sound like they haven't missed a beat since they last voiced them in 2007.)

And if you still didn't get enough, you even get some comedy redub clips with Yuri Lowenthal and the cast goofing off and a recap of the prior .hack games. What more could you want really?
