Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization plays host to just about every cringe-worthy and tired anime trope that you can imagine, and while this isn’t strictly surprising given that the source material is a popular anime, it can nonetheless drag down one’s enjoyment as pervy humour and eye-rolling events unfold left and right. The Japanese voice acting for these scenes works well and features some strong performances, but the writing itself leaves something to be desired. On the whole, it more or less proves to have been worth the wait – offering up a robust and well-realized RPG experience that dwarfs much of the competition on the eShop – but this quality does come with a few caveats that newcomers may want to consider before buying. Though the first for Nintendo players, this is actually the fourth game in the Sword Art video game series, which itself has diverged from the canon in some key ways and established a storyline of its own, and after an initial launch on PlayStation platforms, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization has now found its way to the Switch in the form of a ‘complete edition’ that includes all the previous DLC. It was only a matter of time before the franchise would receive some representation on the Switch, and that has now finally materialized with Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization.
SWORD ART ONLINE HOLLOW FRAGMENT SERIES
Sword Art Online has been around for quite a while now what started in 2002 as a simple light novel series has gone on to span a multimedia franchise including several books, manga adaptations, video games, movies, and – yes – an impending live-action Netflix series.
