Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment
A huge game that's fun to play, but far too dense with the source material for those unfamiliar to enjoy. Go watch the anime, then buy this!

Critic Reviews
In need of a whetstone- Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment review
The world of anime-novelty videogames is a genre in itself, and perhaps in within that perspective alone Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment is just as much of an award-winner as the franchise it’s based on. However, in the larger world of videogames this title is only mediocre, and a very specific kind of mediocre at that. Outside of the shoddy camera and twitchy control, the rest of the game’s pacing, design, and over-indulged sense of immersion steer it down paths only the biggest of fans might enjoy.
