I'm a huge fan of the SAO Series, including GGO and SAO: Lost Song. This is very much like SAO: Lost Song 2.0. Most of my dislikes of this game is purely Fundamental things that should have been done since SAO: Lost song and even before consider those have been out longer.

MAJOR FLAWS:
Optimization-
it's 2024, This game should not be running worse than most Triple A studio games. While it's nice to adjust the quality of the frames for the game. It runs very poor even on high end PC's due to the optimization of the effects, rendering and games CPU usage.

Lag - Once again, many Triple A games have WAY better synchronization when it comes to players with multiple abilities, effects and multiple actions going on. The fact that every player looks like they're ice skating or teleporting is absolute garbage in this day and age for immersion.

Keybinds - The keybinds don't even change immediately and half the settings are bugged, when i remapped them they didn't even update, but would reflect in the options that they are a new key. including Mouse sensitivity. This game looks like it was purely optimized for controller users, And while I've played both KB and Mouse with Controller. The differences I've noticed between using both is insanely different. The camera movement for controller is much faster than mouse and keyboard, even with MAXED 100% sensitivity, which leads me to believe its a bug or it flatout doesn't work. How do you expect the gamers on PC to fully min max their potential when half the keybinds don't even work, nor does the aiming capability for us who use Ranged characters? (before anyone gets at me i have a Level 34 Argo which i used on controller, while sinon is lv 10+, which im using mouse and keyboard with.) the aim/ camera control between the both is INSANELY different.

Overall the game has MASSIVE potential. But the fundamentals are the MAJOR basis of any game and if these aren't corrected, then you can lose majority of the base of PC just due to these lack of simple functionalities. I could go Miles on the gameplay aspects and how inconsistent hitboxes are and dashes and multiple things. But If you love your mental health, you're better off playing Lost Song, than this. cause at least your Gear makes sense and your lag isn't ran into the dirt.

Huge Ratchet and Clank fan, This game looks beautiful. But the optimization for 30's series RTX's (I have a 3090 EVGA FTW3) and above is pretty bad. GPU's instantly spike and the game crashes frequently. I would enjoy it more but this game literally jumps my GPU to 85c, even on moderate settings. Otherwise, The adventure the gameplay, the style of the weapons all give me a highly nostalgic vibe to this game. Would highly recommend this game for those who've been out the loop with ratchet and clank and even for those who are new to the series.
