It is a simple hack'n'slash game, combat is ok, but boss fights can get boring as they are long and repetitive. Multiplayer is a bit disappointing, because you can only do dungeons or bosses with friends and customisation options for custom characters are limited (like really, for example - only 2 hair styles). You can get creative in Multiplayer if you want to (there are actually a lot of different skills/buffs/potions), but it is difficult to find a match with randoms, as well as level discrepancy. In singleplayer you will play Kirito as you need him for most missions, but you can play as most of SAO cast.

The Visual Novel element is good, if you are a SAO fan you will enjoy the interactions between characters, if you don't know about SAO it might be confusing at times. But the story isn't amazing in general.

Recommended for SAO fans, for others it is a simple, mediocre hack'n'slash.
