This was honestly pretty fun. I never got around to actually finishing it due to its length, but it's a pretty fun single-player MMO. The mechanic of being able to have your AI companion behave a certain way by praising specific actions enough times until they sort of reclass was REALLY cool (also their outfit changed!). The Hollow Area being one big open area with really dangerous enemies was also pretty damn sweet. The wide-array of weapons you can use shocked me. In this, you aren't just stuck with Kirito's usual dual swords, but 9 different weapon types (Scimitars are excellent btw). The English translation is, very clearly, machine translated and made for some pretty amusing dialogue at times. There's also "pillow talk" CGs that are some decent fan-service. I did not at all care about the story, because it's SAO, but the girls are still cute and I was able to mostly ignore it. Lisbeth is LisBEST.
