3.5/5 ★ – Lammy's review of Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet post-True Ending review: Sword Art Online games are pretty varied. A few have been really good, while just as many have been AWFUL. This one is right in the middle of those two extremes, neither terrible nor especially mindblowing. The gunplay can be rough until you find a gun you REALLY like, the core gameplay loop is kinda boring after a while, and the plot is low-stakes and forgettable. However, the small online community is remarkably inclusive, and once you find a gun you like you can have several hours of fun just shooting junk. Plus, this is the only SAO game where you aren't stuck playing as Kirito... even though the Create a Character you get is somehow MORE bland. All in all, this is a mixed bag. Try it if you're curious, but don't pay full price, and don't buy the DLC unless you really like it (quick DLC review - better story, not much content outside of grinding for better weapons, too expensive). 6.5 out of 10
