The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was November 2023. 64 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 85 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ($29.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Vindictus (free, scores 19).

Of the 331 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 264 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.

20.6 hours to finish it, 79 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.8 times the campaign.

What players say

Sill holds up in 2026! The best SAO game (and the only Accel game) on PC (just my opinion, you can keep yours). Hollow Fragment and Hollow Realization combined would be the best game but sadly we can't have that, Lycoris is a gardener simulator basically where you expend 30 hours watching a worse version of the anime in visual novel format and the other 60 hours are fighting mostly the same flowers (yes flowers) and...

Game had its ups and down, but nonetheless was extremely enjoyable, combat could be better but oh well. Got my fix of SAO and AW all in one for what this game had to offer.
Saviorz305Recommendedafter 121hMar 2026Read on Steam
Not recommended. Game itself is good, but the port is terrible beyond what words can express. Avoid it at all costs;
