Hmm for customizability: say Fatal Bullet, Alicization Lycoris, and then Hollow Realiztion in that order. Fatal Bullet lets you make your own OC and helper OC. The other games you are a reskined and even re-gendered Kirito (you make own appearance, but story considers you Kirito). Alicization is second best in customization. Hollow Realization is also like Alicization but as an older game, might noyt be too fancy graphic wise. You can recolor and even choose different outfits regardless of actual armor equiped. For Hollow Realization, there is a lady in Market areathat can "Visualize" a custom outfit for you.

Re:Hollow Fragment lets you choose appearance, but armor/clothes is based on actual armor equiped. Like Alicization Lycoris and Hollow Realization, you are technically Kirito but have own appearance. But the armor you equip being your clothes limits customization

Lost Song and AccelWorld is bascially few outfits and playing as any of the SAO cast.

There is Last Recollection coming out in October and assuming similar customization as Alicization Lycoris.

REGARDLESS, you will need to unlock outfits as you progress to widen range of customiziation in

As fro fun, I enjoyed Fatal Bullet the most, followed by Hollow Realization. Got a strange love/hate relationship with Alicization (game is fun, but unoptimized for pc plus long cutscenes). If an acheievment seeker, Re:Hollow Fragment might be annoying, Lost Song and Accel Wolrd vs SAO is nteresting once used to flight combat and leveled enough to have worthwhile skills in my opinion. Lost Song and Accel World vs SAO, you can choose and switch between characters.


Fatale Bullet and Hollow Realization caters to both casuals and hardcore players. Alicization Lycoris has easy story, but after story serious grind. The other games have grind as well,

Cannot speak for Last Recollection yet, but seems interesting based on what i seen
