I grew up with this game and the other .hack series, I'm really fond of it and it's so fun to have it on PC finally, and it's so neat they released a 4th game too. I really wish that the first series were available on Steam too, but maybe one day! Even if you've never played a .hack game before, they're pretty unique and they're worth trying.

This trilogy is really good, I am very impressed with Yuri Lowenthal voicing Haseo. Without him i don't think this game would be a big hit. The story is rich and side characters are really cool. The only bad thing is this game is a bit grindy, you don't have the option to go around enemy's to not fight them and are forced to go into a battle; but other than that this game is pretty fun and I would highly recommend if you haven't played this game before. I wish the other Dot hack (Infection, redemption, outbreak, and quarantine.) series becomes available with some improvements such as quick cast spells and abilities.

So despite the ordeal with cloud saves, and while there is a work around. If you're planning to play this strictly on a select device whether it be on a computer/laptop or a steamdeck/Rog/Legion/Etc it plays perfectly well. The issue with that comes from those who wish to play on their computers and then move to a portable device. Other than that 9.5/10 Solid port, finished it 100% no issues anywhere, and i'll say this for those struggling with the Bike missions, all the Playstations input bugs still work.

Notes: - .Hack//G.U. Last Recode covers the G.U. portion of the .Hack series and what happened after .Hack//Roots, which is an 26-episode anime series (Optional but not required to understand the story past Volume 1). - The first 4 installments where Kite is the protagonist (.Hack//Infection and so on) are not included and are NOT required to understand the full story of G.U. - Other than that, there's complementary content and alternate versions of G.U. outside of the game but this game is the canon story of the G.U. portion and other games, mangas and animes are vaguely referenced in the game as a jig and not part of the main story. Main Story: The game starts where the .Hack//Roots left off after the Twilight Brigade events where Haseo becomes a PKK (Player-killer killer) and hunts for Tri-edge to avenge his friend Shino. The game is divided into 3 acts where Volume 4 serves as a 3-hour long Epilogue to the whole G.U. Saga. Online Jack (on the News Capture) occurs at the same time as the G.U. events. Gameplay: It's a 2007 JRPG where you smash Attacks to perform 1-2-3 combos and use skills as a mix-up. Combos change depending on the weapon and you gain more weapon-types later in Volume 2, a slight rework in Volume 3 and a full rework in Volume 4. It's a 2007 game, it can feel severly dated yet nostalgic- very similar to Tales of Games. You gain increased EXP from enemies with higher level, Damage scales off Level disparity, between the range 1 to 10 and grinding for EXP isn't much of a thing unless you skip pass all the enemies on the field- but it doesn't take long to find a word combination outside the main story and start grinding 3 - 5 levels in 10mins. Exploration: You use a 3-word system to generate an instance and walk around hallways with enemies located on specific areas, repeating the same combination of words will yield the same result and you can fine tune the enemy's level range and rewards with the 2nd and 3rd word- as well as area objective and location. It can feel quite repetitive. Aesthetic: The game tries to replicate the feel of booting up your old PS2, XB360 or even Gamecube menu with functions like email, movies, forums and such to emulate the feeling of an old PC from the early 2000s. Every time you logout the game, it's as if you're done for the day and log in the next day, hence the gimmick of "logout > check email > login > repeat" model through the entire game's story. Rating: As dated as the game is, it's a solid 6/10 for new people, 7/10 for those who ride on the nostalgia of old games and probably a 7.5 to 8/10 for the .hack fans- as it's the last game CyberConnect released since 2017 related to the .hack series. If Bandai allowed them, they would, willingly, make a sequel, with all of these traits updated to today's design philosophies and a modern twist to the .hack series.

This game is all about the plot. Combat mechanics ain't that great even by ps2 era standards. If you're planning on 100% this game then you should always use beast awakening as soon as it's up and never take it off otherwise you'd get a 5+ hour grind to complete the book 1... *sigh* Volume 4 was just fanservice, bored the hell outta me but I guess it'll hit oldtimers hard with the nostalgia, not my thing. Boring combat and hellish 100% grind aside, this game was hella fun. Just take it as a visual novel with more interactions :)
