Note: I did that silly thing where I forgot to put a caption in for the score, it’s a 8.2/10 for this one (I will put a card in that will hopefully come up and rectify this!)

I remember playing the original trilogy on PS2 many years ago. The series kind of died out and was all but forgotten. I didn't expect to see GU resurface again. If I had a PS4, I'd pick it up.
one thing about vol 4 that you didn't mention, at the end of the 3rd volume, Ovan's plotline was left open ended especially after the Forest of Pain, so vol 4 finally brought a satisfying conclusion to Ovan's plot.
@JRPG Jungle there ever a funny .hack comic that you read call .hack//4Koma that has both .hack//gu and older cast meet each other witch is really hilarious XD
If anyone wants to know about the four original .Hack games having a collection is that it doesn't have a collection probably yet. Hope Namco Bandai release a collection of them and fix it's hugest grind though it isn't has bad as the Final Fantasy Bravely Default game series grind though it is pretty bad of having grind.
Didnt all the .hack GU games come out within a year? Im more than sure they were absolutely intended to be played back to back, if not that then played very soon after one another.
Reconnection is the worst part of the game in my opinion I couldn’t get past the gameplay the xth form was where I feel it should have ended when it came to the job extension but yeah like I said just my opinion but I won’t be completing that chapter
One of my favorite series of all time right up there with Mass Effect (not you Andromeda), Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
I love these games, I'm happy they have been made more accessible to a larger audience through a Steam release.

When forst came out – adorbs
Do you need to see the anime or any thing extra to get the full experience of the game? ……. like a certain final fantasy?

What a really well written and presented review!
I love your reviews! So intuitive and your voice is so soothing. You should do ASMR. lol
So how much grinding is necessary?

this game sucks. Time to move on the game play is not that good.

.hack//G.U. gave us something we never knew we wanted: chain saw Scythe
Good review

I will definitely play this!!!!
Cheap on ps4 rn
.hack the orginal sword art online. Was so much better then the sloppy new age non sense.
Good review. I'm glad to have found out this youtube channel. I put .hack/GU in my personal top 5 wishlist
Incredible review! Wow I'm just blown away. No one ever seems to give .hack the time of day it deserves!
I'm sad to see there are no grunties
This review is more professional than reviews done on "professional" review sites. Very well done.
uhm u forgot to mention how cool the avatar boss battles are but anyway good review to ya mate!
seems like they made it too easy
Anyone know how .hack series works. If each game is a separate story or if has a game timeline?
Who else is here after already buying it for 12$ on PSN?
I think they should make an actual .Hack MMO lol. It could be amazing and the artstyle is kinda perfect for one.
Saw this on sale on Steam. Never tried this series before but heard of it a long time ago.
Im liking what im seeing in the video, ill try it out
If you're looking for a really good console exclusive RPG. Then by this one
I played it, you level too fast and become overleveled too much. Game is then too easy
everyone, this game is on sale for the Steam fall sale
Great we'll thought out review! I'll be purchasing this today!
Picked it up on the PlayStation end of the year sale, 80% off regular price.
I've played this game a million times never get tired of it
