Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization puts you into the shoes of Kirito, who was drawn back into the virtual world of the virtual reality MMORPG that he was previously trapped in, Sword Art Online, due to an intriguing cryptic message. However, the virtual world he escaped from is not quite the same as the one he arrived in. Featuring richly detailed world and an engaging storyline, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization aims to let you dive into the virtual universe of SAO and explore a new world with familiar favorites like Asuna, Leafa, Silica, Klein and many others. The game even provides players with an online multiplayer mode where players can join 8-man raids consisting of 4 actual human players and 4 AI players.Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization is the sort of game you wouldn't want to miss out, especially if you're a fan of the series. This game probably has the best story yet!
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
