Aha , that itch to experience SAO in real life . A year and a half ago , this was my goal for a whole month . Lemme try to recall my conclusion from that month of search and frustration . Excuse me in advance for any incoherence in my words , I barely slept last night and am about to get that sleep . Unfortunately , imo there isn ' t any decent SAOlike game in existence . One way or another the candidate games that I ' ve found and thought may be good enough end up either not having enough impact , are too distinct from SAO or are too unappealing . I ended up playing an official SAO game on my ipad that is repetitive and buttonpressingful for a couple of months , until my itch died out . Was gonna add a list of my candidate games that I ' ve found and the few I ' ve ended up trying but I ' m sorry to say that I must stop here at least for today . Trying to type while you ' re in your cozy bed with a sleepy brain is like trying to be one of the 5 k players in the anime that got a copy of SAO on release near impossible .
