From episode 59 onwards, Hunter x Hunter takes place inside a game call Greed Island. Like in Sword Art Online, if you die in Greed Island, you die in real life. The games are similar in their fantasy RPG style as well.
Apart from that, both anime have excellent stories, animation, soundtracks and voice actors. But most importantly, both have excellently developed characters and take place (mostly for SAO) in a fantasy setting with some real world elements (SAO is occasionally set in modern-day Japan whereas HxH is set in a completely alternate world very similar to modern-day Japan).
Both are definitely worth a watch

The only similarities is that the Sword Art Online is similar to the greed island arc in Hunter x Hunter. Only in the greed island arc, the protagonists and the villains both use the gaming system in clever ways to their advantage. In SAO, battles are won due the character being overpowered or from a deus ex machina.
