1st off, all credits and big thumbs up to the channel Kwingsletsplays, since his footage was what I used during many parts of the video in order to get the story cutscenes in here in the first place. Check him out at this link for the full let's play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRTVxGBNXak&list=PLX_Cone6vbMFA0gKRmWKLZBxoBSqBxBE-

Let's have a nice long look at the story in SAO Alicization Lycoris, shall we? I have a lot to say about this game in general and frankly, I have a lot of mixed feelings. I had a number of issues with the game that no one seems to really mention or at least dig a little deeper into aside from performance and story pacing issues which are obvious at this point. I wanted to really go off on this one and not care about the length as much.

As a side note to watching as well, if it seems like I am overly negative here then keep in mind that the analysis is really meant more to pull apart a lot of issues I had with the game to a knit picky level. I will give the game due credits where they are deserved but yes I am focusing on the negatives. That's not to say the game is an absolute garbage fire that cannot be enjoyed since I still very much enjoy the game anyway.
