    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. one of the most boring AAA games I ever played. The few positive things about this game are graphic, sound and performance which are great...however, the gameplay and the story are just so mediocre...it is a third person shooter, and apart from one or two cool guns that you only got chance to use one or two times, the game brings nothing new in game... 90% enemy are generic human including the typical brain dead shotgun heavy armor guys and always behind the cover guys, 7% enemy are werewolf like creatures, who, only have one attack pattern and repeat again and again. 3% enemy are werewolf boss with quicktime fight......nothing is even remotely original, new, creative and fun with the gameplay.....
    the story,,,,it is well told but that ending is just so unfinished... i don't mind if the story is short but I cannot stand the developers just release games without a finished story.. with a simple and short story in this game, it is shocking that the ending could leave you with this many loose ends.
    i will give this game a lower score if not I got this game for only 10 euro... the game is short and boring.    … Expand

    One of the weakest things I have ever played. I am not going to give this game props for its graphics. Its 2015. I expect graphics to be pretty. I would have taken PS2 level graphics if I had more game play. I earned a trophy for walking and watching a conversation!! This is pathetic. Great Ideas, pretty graphics and absolutely no reason to play, that's right the term is PLAY, it.

    This game proves that graphics isn't everything, it's just a package in which a game is delivered. Nothing more, nothing less.
    Sad true is that The Order 1886 is ONLY graphics. It's pretty much a movie - great looking, nicely written but terribly, TERRIBLY wrong designed in moments gameplay should take a part in.

    Sad true is that The Order 1886 is ONLY graphics. It's pretty much a movie - great looking, nicely written but terribly, TERRIBLY wrong designed in moments gameplay should take a part in.
    Cover system is... broken. It just doesn't work. Character moves chaoticly from cover to cover, mainly to those you're the least want to be. When you move, he sticks his head out of it which is obviusly exactly the opposite of what you want to do in the cover. Also, when you want to shot to the sides from the cover, he sticks his head out of it. Again! Why?!
    Enemies are just not interesting at all. Funny thing is, when you fight werewolwes, you can't see when to dodge, because your character blocks the view. Fights with werewolwes are actually just plain boring, stupid and uncreative. Regular enemies are unpredictable - I shot five rounds to the shotgunner which should cause a little stun during that he cannont shot or move quickly - well, that sometimes is the truth. Often it is not. Unpredictable is great description for most of the game - sometimes you cannot shot because he "don't have a clear shot.", sometimes he shots from impossible angles!
    Lazy, lazy, LAZY betatesting!
    I was very suprised (not pleasantly) that in linear game (linear as **** really) I find myself confused about what to do - should I shoot all the ridiculous numbers of enemies or should I just get myself in some place? Game only says "get through the rebel ambush".
    Guns should be stempunked. And some of them are. But they are also boring. And also unpredictable. Shortly after the start of the game you find yourself with arc gun trying to shoot werewolf who is about to kill your partner. You have probably five seconds to kill him, but the arc reactor constantly sounds like it's powering itself. I saw the **** die about twenty times until I realised that gun can shot immediately.

    The Order 1886 in one sentence? Great movie but terrible game. And short as ****    … Expand

    A very boring, bland and tedious game regardless of how good the graphics are, i played the first hour, it was like paying to pull my own teeth out, needless to say its a game id never pick up again, i traded it and i have great pity for the poor bugger who buys it.

    wouldn't have been that bad if it weren't for that stupid shoulder camera.stop using that sort of camera in games,it's annoying....go back to a centered one.
    the shoulder camera is fine for when you shoot behind a cover,or aim down the barrel...but it's NOT fine when you are moving around,it's confusing and annoying

    That game definese Style over substance. Its short, the levels are small, their is no replay value just bad QTE. It is a really bad game. Everytime you think you going into the action the next Cutscene starts. Sometimes there is a Cutscene than you go for 10 seconds and anatoher Cutscene starts. The shooting is okay but not more. And the most time you look at thinks.

The force letterbox ratio makes things feel claustrophobic. Unable to turn off the tutorial popups. It forces the character to merely walk rather than run way too much. I don't mind all of the cut scenes but at least let me run to and from them. I'm uncertain if this is an actual glitch or perhaps maybe something I'm missing but my alternate uniform/weapons don't seem to work correctly. The uniforms load, but the weapons do not. I like a lot of story. That's one of the big reasons I pick games is for the immersive storytelling, but it seems as if there's more story than gameplay and that seems a little ridiculous. I was really excited by this game and have been disappointed.… Expand

But for the first 6 main of the game you do nothing just watch a cinematic. Later on some QTE's another cinematic. The game was advertised as a action game with a gripping story. Don't get me wrong the story is there but it's OK at its best. Love the setting and the art style of the game. The motion capture in this game I think one of the best if not the best in games this far. People compare this game either to Heavy Rain or Gears of War or a mixture of both. It isn't. Heavy Rain from the start was more of an experience where your choices make the story and the ending. The Order has no such thing. It's very linear and after the first 5 chapters also very predictive. Gears of War had sections of big open levels as well as corridor shooting. Had also levels such as you had to guide a character with a spot light to avoid his death. It had good and interesting levels The Order has levels that look nice and are very detailed but also very closed and linear. I don't mind the game isn't long. It took me 6,5 hours to complete it but the actual time I was doing something shooting or even QTE's was about five hours. Now the mechanical side. The cinematic view being you have black bars on your TV. The Dev just wasn't able to make the game run at 1080p/60 fps. This game should be on the PC. There are frame drops, some minor glitches and texture bugs. The Order 1886 game with potential. Very good graphics, beautiful art style and that's it. The shooter part is linear and boring. No interesting new idea. Four out of ten. Don't buy at full price.    … Expand

    The story (if it can be called that) is generic and limp lacking any real connection with the characters or their motives. The game practically gives the ending away the moment you start up the game with hints which I can only assume were supposed to be subtle, yet you would have to be an imbecile not to notice.

    Lacking any multiplayer gameplay offline or online meant there is little content to back up the pathetic campaign making this game one of the absolute worst games you can buy for your playstation 4 today.    … Expand

    I almost feel like The Order wants to be the PS4's Gears of War – a new intellectual property by a studio known for pretty good games, and a title that can perhaps kick off a franchise. But The Order is too shallow, too simple and too familiar to be anything more than a fleeting bit of fun. I beat this game in only 4 hours, so it's not even worth it as a $20 downloadable title in my opinion.

But the controls and character movement are excruciatingly sluggish and awkward. In particular, I absolutely hate being force to "Walk" through certain scenes and sequences when there is nothing in the nearby environment or atmosphere to make me feel like crawling through at a snails pace. It is extremely frustrating. I don't always run around everywhere in game but I expect the freedom and ability to do so at will and not have it controlled and restricted at random..

    Also some of the boss-battle fighting sequences revolve around random button presses prompted by flashing on-screen button symbols at crucial but random moments. Problem I have with this is they flash by so fast I cant recognize what the button press is supposed top be. The one that kills me is the left or right stick prompts during lycon battles. The symbol pops up for a split second, its a blurry symbol, washed out with a blurry red highlight and I cant tell if I'm supposed to press up, mash down, or rotate the stupid thing. If you're going to require us to follow random button press prompts, make the darn thing visibly identifiable!! I don't think these guys know how to make a good game.

    Cinematics, QTE's and forced walking/infiltration (because yes, the game decides how you are supposed to play, don't expect to run when they want you to walk or crouch) there is actually very few actual gameplay.
    Sadly, we get nothing else than endless corridors with wave of enemies to kill (terrible level design)

    The Order: 1886 is not in any way the game that was sold to us in the trailers by Sony. In fact, when they showed us 20 minutes long trailers, little did we know that we were actually looking at a quarter of the game. It's a very short game, and you spend half of it looking at it instead of playing.
    If only for the charming universe, the design and the quality of the textures and character models, it would make it for a good immersion, but everything else, and that includes the mechanics, the story, and the GAMEPLAY, ruin it all with its overall blandness.

    This is not a movie you're rating here people, it's a video game. Stop with your "Thoroughly exciting thriller" crap, or go in the movie section of Metacritic. I'm all for cinematic experiences, but this is not it, they couldn't find a balance.

    Sony obviously played the card of "let's forget the gameplay, go all in on graphics" to try to impress the masses and send another kick in the poor Xbox's ribs. But yeah, this game is not good, it's average at most, and only the most naive of gamers will fall for it.    … Expand

    I haven't played the game, but from what I have seen on YouTube it looks very cinematic, which means there are tons of cut scenes. It also plays out in a letter box format, which is a shame, as it restricts the field of view. The cover-based shooting seems fine. I give it a 4 because it looks like a below average cover based shooter.

    - No replayability
    - Only the graphics are good

    You think it's over? Oh no, there's more:

    - You spend more time watching cutscenes than playing the game (yes MGS does the same thing but whatever little gameplay had was actually good, gameplay here is dull at best).
    - QTEs every 5 minutes of gameplay (you have to press buttons EVEN TO TALK at some point of the game)
    - The game can be completed in less than 5 hours... but without the unskippable cutscenes it wouldn't even last 2 hours (why do you think they made them unskippable?)

    The only positive thing I can say about this game is that there isn't any shoehorned multiplayer mode.
    But that's pretty much it.

    My vote is 2/10. Avoid this game and save your money for Bloodborne which is actually good.

    P.S. to Dana Jan: people are hating on this game because it's a piece of garbage and they're tired of wasting 60$ on games that are not worth it. Maybe if you had spent more time on the actual gameplay and less on the graphics the reaction wouldn't be so negative. Cry me a river.    … Expand

    The fact this game wasn't pulled from store shelves is actually outstanding, this isn't a finished product it's literally a tech demo and not a good one, the story just ends at the moment where it should just start, the ending is very anticlimactic.As for the gameplay, well it's not bad nor is it great it's just so mediocore it's not interesting enough to continue playing.

Games like God of War, Uncharted, and Alan Wake were highly praised back then, and now we get poorly made DLCs, Microtransactions, unfinished products, etc. It doesn't sound like they are just holding a voice actor by gunpoint and forcing them to say crappy lines. The depth in gameplay isn't there, is all I have against this game. If this game were to have something similar to Resident Evil 4, I'm sure it could have gained multiple hours. I mean those are 3-6 hour games that you can run through and the only thing that extends it is certain game elements.

    Stunning graphics, a great story, but the stupiest controls I‘ve ever seen in a game like this. The gameplay is horrible with tons of quick time event. It‘s a mess! This game has the potential for a masterpiece, but someone at the developer must soon have been said: „let‘s destroy it.“

    This game is like a cover shooter of 5 years ago complete with the dark browns. Lots of walking around and listening to some dumb **** about half werewolves. And damn why do I need to pick up so many things and just look at it??? Hells no.

The story is fine, it's not totally uninteresting and the setting is great. The characters are okay, there are only a couple I actually like, but heyo. That's more of a neutral point. The gunplay is largely satisfying, with some guns feeling genuinely very powerful and fun to use. As the game drags on the combat does get rather tiresome, though.

    Time for the bad. I have a whoooole lot of big and little things wrong with this game. Let's start with the story. The elephant in the room with this game is that the story only clocks in at around 5-6 hours, and considering the game has absolutely zero replay value or side modes outside of the story, that's absolutely unforgivable for a AAA game that retailed for the price it did. Not only this, but even though the game lasted that short a time, I feel like the narrative was dragged out far longer than it should have been, by the 10th chapter (of 15, if I recall correctly) I was already thinking "is this gonna end soon? I hope it does" which is never a good sign. I will admit though it's impressive to only have 5/6 hour campaign and still make it feel like it's dragging on. Nice job, Ready At Dawn.

    Let's get to the problems with the gameplay. I did mention that the gunplay was satisfying, and while that is true, the actual gameplay sequences (including combat) outside of just walking around doing **** all until you get to your objective, are far too few and far between. In the first half of the game this is particularly apparent, with the game seemingly wanting to wrestle control from you at any point it can, with it swapping to a cutscene for the most pointless **** This game has a serious problem with interactivity and people who have played the game will know exactly what I mean. And despite the combat sequences being few and far between, by the end sequences of the game combat just becomes a chore to slog through to get to the next cutscene, and they tend to drag on for 10+ minutes at a time with enemies constantly flooding in and spawning in seemingly until the level designers got bored on placing enemies and decided to move on. The combat sections just feel rather lazily crafted most of the time because of stuff like that, and most of the sequences just feel like padding.

    A small gripe of the story, or specifically the writing is how obviously unaware the characters are of the narrative and other characters. There was more than one point in the game where Galahad (the protagonist) was told the same piece of information twice, and still managed to be confused on the second time. A glaring example of this is when we find out the reason one of the characters trusts us is because of their alliance with another character, and Galahad and the player and clearly told and communicated this, yet when the character mentions it later on, Galahad is totally ****ing befuddled by it.
    The difficulty of the game is also a glaring issue. For most of the game, the combat is unbelievably easy. Enemies can go down in a single shot if you're even slightly familiar with a controller, and the only enemies that don't are the shotgun types. The shotgun enemies are not challenging because they are well crafted, they are only challenging because their weapons are ****ing broken. At several points I had them shooting at me through thick walls and killing me in only one or two hits. Not only this, but they have an unbelievable amount of health, which makes the imbalance they have over the player that much worse. The difficulty, or lack thereof, is also a problem in the total of TWO ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL boss battles throughout the game. These two short lived battles are essentially glorified quick-time events, and even though you are forced to feel threatened by them, the actual fights are so easy that it's genuinely laughable.

    Let's talk about the bad side of the visuals though. There is only really one big problem I have. The black bars used to obscure the top and the bottom of the screen for 'cinematic effect'. Not only is this a total cop out for the lack of power in the PS4 to get this to run at a full 1080p, but it also becomes a HUGE burden on the player during combat. Working together with the absolutely tiny field of view the player gets, you are almost always completely unaware of your surroundings when in cover in combat, as the camera hangs so low and close to Galahad.

    While the controls are fine for the most part, during some combat segments the controls got in the way of me getting out of the way of harm, and when Galahad is sprinting turning is almost impossible, so I found myself more than once trying to sprint away from enemy fire only to run headfirst into the bullets and subsequently either dying or losing most of my health.

    I waited to get this game for $15 bucks, and I'm glad I didn't pay full price. What really gets my goat is that early on in the game there's a 2 or 3 minute fight with a pack of werewolves that is really awesome. It's spooky, it's fun, it's exciting.

    The other 99.9% of the game is an unsatisfying combination of quick-time-event battles, walking simulator, and low quality cover shooter.

    Why? Why?! did we not have a ton of more action oriented, 0 cover based combat against supernatural creatures?

    Another thing that the game does that pisses me off is it inexplicably takes away my weapons. They'll give me a lightning cannon or a thermite gun and sometimes take it way literally 2 minutes later with no reason or explanation. If you pick up a rifle you like off the ground, frequently the next cutscene will cause the game to start you over again with nothing but a pistol.

    The game seems to be actively trying to stop me from enjoying it.

    The graphics are impressive, in a sense. The draw distance, letterbox format, and fake mirrors stick out as obvious crutches that were necessary to get such a pretty game running on consoles. The visual character design and the look of the city is excellent.    … Expand

There are black bars at the top and bottom of the screen as if it was a movie which isn't great for PS4 users with smaller HDTVs.

    I've never felt so sad playing a game as I did with The Order. The visuals, the design, the animations, it's top notch and I mean really the best there is. It looks gorgeous. But the game itself is so so bad that it cannot be saved by the graphics. It is unforgivably bad. I have never seen a game with extremes like that before.

    So what is so unforgivably wrong with this game? the    I've never felt so sad playing a game as I did with The Order.

It is unforgivably bad. I have never seen a game with extremes like that before.

    So what is so unforgivably wrong with this game?

    the gameplay is ... outdated. Quicktime events are ok, but not if your whole game consists of it. Basically the flow is "walk here, press triangle, walk back, press triangle", cinematic " press triangle to continue the cinematic" . That with cowboy style shooter intermezzos in which you hide behind an object and shoot endless hordes of resembling enemies. There are even explosive barrels.

    But even that might be ok, if it were solid gameplay. Instead the rules are not clear. sometimes you cannot hide behind random objects. sometimes you are not permitted to run. sometimes you can't switch weapons.

    Messing up one quicktime event results in instant death. The loading points are too scarce making you replay frustrating parts of the game over and over because of one mistake. The sneaking arae on the zeppelin is a good example of this. Not only did the game never introduce sneaking into its gameplay, the minute the enemy spots you (which is hard to figure out when that is) you get shot in the head and can start all over again.

    Which brings me to the violence that is weirdly over the top and unnecessary. Look, it's a shooter, so killing is part of the play, I get that, but in this beautiful looking game with its story about righteousness it feels so out of place to brutally murder everyone you meet, often in short scenes to show extra violence (like dramatically breaking someones neck with a loud crack, or slicing the throat to make the blood spatter). Do I HAVE to murder everyone? All the personnel on the zeppelin, were they so evil? The guy in the brothel, what did he do? The game has creepy half-bred monsters for gods sake, can't I focus the murdering on them? At a certain point in the game, after massacring whole troops of rebels in a dehumanizing fashion, the main characters ponder "what if the rebels are right?". It feels so out of place.

    Character wise the game is interesting, but the utter lack of female characters stands out, especially when one of the few women in the game has worse facial animations than the great, great majority of grey, bearded old men. The characters can get very confusing. No one gets a real introduction with a backstory and apparently in 1886 90 percent of the population was a Caucasian, bearded male lookalike. To make it even worse, they all have at least three names (Isi, Isabeau, Igraine) and to make it even MORE worse, halfway through the game one of the main characters takes over the name of another main character.

    The lack of overview shots (The zeppelin from outside? The crash?), the linearity (no you can't open this door if you haven't clicked X at the other door yet), the very tiny view frame, it all makes this game a pain to play.

    I understand that they wanted to make this a film like experience with the lack of interface, the movie viewpoint, the beautiful graphics. But they forgot that this is NOT a film. It's a game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Order: 1886 started out as a game that everyone in the world thought was going to be about werewolves, then it throws off the covers on launch day and says, "Ha, ha! Got you! It's a cover based shooter, but not a good one like Uncharted or Spec Ops: The Line!" I've heard this game was really short, and I must tell you that I played the game on hard and still finished the game in under five hours, cut scenes included. The story got off to a compelling start when Sir Galahad discovers that there is something sinister going on within the order of knights he is sworn into, and there is. The story pretty much ends right there because nothing gets resolved except for one bloke's part in the game. The story pretty much goes like this: it is going to start off bland, but with a compelling springboard to build the story off of. We will then build up the story to a suspenseful climax and before it reaches any part of the story that would make it super exciting, say "The End." Going through the story was like going up a roller coaster and the car gets stuck at the top of the hill and never comes back down. Game play is somewhat cut down, as there is about an hour of "shoot people in the face that look the least amount suspicious" and a handful of quick-time event boss fights. As for werewolves, they only appear about five times in the entire game and the problem they brought to the table is never resolved either. I felt that this game was just an overpriced digital store game, and any praise that it gets should be sent back because the only thing that this game deserves is..... The End.… Expand

    Sooooo...The Order 1886, this game was one of the biggest disappointments of 2015 for many people, it was presented as THE PS4 exclusive and in the end...well, let's just start.

    STORY: The Order 1886 is one of the few games that i have ever played that the story is told so badly, so very poorly explained and just all around confusing, that i never understood what was this story about, so i can't tell anything about it. Let's put it this way: the game has a beginning, a climax, but no resolution!, the story doesn't end, we are left with many unfinished and unanswered things that the game introduced that just never get resolved. On top of that while the world that the game sets-up is interesting, the characters are not and the game is filled with so many cliches that make this story just so dreadful to witness that after the "ending", you will feel ripped-off.

    PRESENTATION: The Order's presentation is the best thing about the, but it still has it's problems. First of, the game is locked at 30fps which for a supposed "new generation" is a complete rip-off, not only that, but the game also doesn't run at 1080p, so the only way the developers figure out how to make up for this problems is to put 2 giant black bars on the screen that take up 30-40% of the screen (no joke).

    The music ,just like arkham knight is only used for atmosphere, which makes it very forgettable. On the other hand, the graphics do look pretty sweet, BUT just like many other games, for some reason that i don't know they, once again sacrificed the color pallet for no reason (paradox), this leads to somethings looking very obscure and as a result some times you can't see where you're going because the game it's too ******* dark. Oh and there's Grey EVERYWHERE!!, not black because that color is not on the ps4's color pallet, but GREY!...GREY!!!.

    Plus the over amount of cutscenes make this game pretty ******* boring to play, this is more of a movie than a game, there's 127! minutes of cutscenes and 4 out of the 16 chapters are just you watching the "game"! and it's not like they're cutscenes of 1-2 minutes, NO! there's more than 4 cutscenes that are 10 minutes long!. On top of that you can't skip cutscenes! not even on repeated playthroughs (if you even want to play this **** more than 1 time), why? you may ask, simple! the game would be 4 hours long without them...that's great!, isn't it?

    GAMEPLAY: I'm not gonna bother to explain how the gameplay mechanics work, because it's just more of the same **** that we've seen over and over again (Gears of War gameplay), instead i'm going to say the "new" stuff that it has. The game has a parkour system that (no joke) is the exact same as the one that uncharted 1-2-3 have!, also the game has a "slow down" feature, but the game never tells you that, so basically all we have left is the incredible amount of quicktime events (if you even consider it as a positive), the semi-decent variety of weapons and the "recover" mechanic...when you are almost gonna die you press triangle and X a few times to stand up (That's it). This game really has nothing going for it and the gameplay gets very repetitive and boring very fast and that's just sad.

    In conclusion The Order 1886 is a BAD title that deserves every single amount of criticism that it gets, because the only thing that the game has, to save it from the 1 is the graphics, but even does have it's problems since there are a number of low-res textures. So what we are left with is a game with a confusing and underdeveloped plot, repetitive gameplay, short length, no replay value, forgettable "music", cliché characters, 2 hours of cutscenes, unoriginal ideas, over amounts of quicktime-events and dull "new" gimmicks. With that said i'll give The Order 1886 a 3/10. Oh and did i mentioned that the 2 bosses that the game has are the exact same?.    … Expand

    La reseña es breve tal como la duración del mismo. Esta obra nos presenta en primera instancia una historia y locación completamente original y debe ser respectada por eso. Nuestro protagonista Grayson "Sir Galahad" pertenece a un grupo selecto que trabajan a las orden de la reina y se encargan de casos que la policía no puede manejar, estaremos acompañados gran parte de la aventura por otros tres miembros de esta orden los cuales no controlaremos nunca. También habrán secuencias de exploración, tiroteos, coleccionables, luchas contra hombres lobos entre otras secuencias de acción. El apartado visual, musical, traducciones son de lo mejor que puedes encontrar en una PS4.

    ¿Entonces cual es el problema con este juego? Respuesta corta "decepciona", todos los aspectos jugables y la historia no pasan del promedio.

    Finalmente, "NO" recomiendo la compra de este juego, si existe la posibilidad de jugarlo de forma gratuita o por un porcentaje de su valor me parecería correcto. No es un mal titulo pero no encuentro una razón para recomendarlo que no sea su apartado técnico y esa recomendación duraría menos de un año, se entiende que el apartado técnico esta en constante evolución.

    Una lastima y espero que Ready at Dawn lo siga intentando porque es más loable equivocarse por intentar algo diferente que triunfar por repetir una formula exitosa y desde ya digo que contarán con mi apoyo como jugador.    … Expand

Firstly, The Order: 1886 try to get many things merged into one together, but none of them were really outstanding. Cover-based shooting is okay, but generic, weapons are overpowered, AI is relatively not smart, pathetic enemy types. Its stealth also feel half-finished. and I have no idea why they even include some puzzle-solving in this game. There is some great moment found in this game, but they are very often too far between. The game also feels linear, you are often forced to do what the game told you to do. You have no choice but to do so. Labeled as a cover-based shooter I actually spent a lot of the time watching cutscenes, which is acceptable. You walk and initiate another cutscene, well I don't really like that. This is also a cinematic experience, as what RAD has promoted. Therefore they add a lot of Quick Time Events (QTE). I do believe that it can help players to further immerse into the story. However, if every action required you to press button then it become something tiring. Most importantly, I don't found playing this game fun. It is straight up boring. The campaign last for 7 hours, which is short when compared with other games in the market. For a already boring game with such length, a multiplayer option would be awesome as it can effectively extend the game's lifespan. Unfortunately it didn't has any. It is really a pity because it have a lot of potential to become a 4-player co-operative games. Even the gameplay aren't done right, the story can still saves the game. It is pretty good and quite engaging. It also has a rich back story, However, for such as a short game, the story is under-developed and there is a huge cliffhanger in the ending of the game. Disappointing. The repetitive color tone can also be a problem. It has made every places feel like the same. Overall it is Crysis 3 again, another tech demo with superb graphics and pathetic length. While Crysis 3 gets its gameplay and multiplayer right. The Order didn't. To me it is surprisingly disappointing. It's hard to believe that the creator of Daxter and God of War will make such a under-performing game. If they planned a sequel (They probably does considering that cliffhanger), I hope they can make the game more rich in content… Expand

    What can i say 'bout this game? it's cinematics with quicktime events, the only thing that gives this game a "4 out of 10" is cause it is a graphical masterpiece. But the graphics don't make the game.

    The Order 1886 é um jogo de ficção científica classificado como sendo de tiro em terceira pessoa. O que vemos não é bem isso.

    A história se passa, como o título já adianta nos anos 1880's, nós controlamos Sir Galahad, um cavaleiro da ordem da távola redonda em uma Londres neo-vitoriana. Além dos rebeldes, que são humanos comuns, nós também lutamos contra licantropos, ou lobisomens, e durante uma de suas missões, Galahad faz uma descoberta que o faz se ver forçado a escolher entre sua liberdade ou seguir seus próprios princípios. O game se inicia tendo Galahad como prisioneiro da ordem sendo duramente torturado, então ao perceber uma chance, seu objetivo é fugir daquele lugar, de início percebemos que a linearidade do jogo é de queimar os olhos, tudo é absurdamente scriptado, e você se sente literalmente em um filme arrastado por suas 5 horas de duração, raramente temos a possibilidade de andar livremente pelo cenário, outra coisa que decepciona é a quantidade ridícula de combates contra inimigos, sendo pior ainda contra os licantropos, que temos 3 encontros apenas, e exatamente iguais. O desenrolar da trama é entediante, ficando interessante apenas nos momentos finais com boas reviravoltas. A inteligência artificial é terrível, com os inimigos tendo sempre o mesmo comportamento, os gráficos são lindíssimos, a jogabilidade quando temos possibilidade de explorá-la é muito boa e fluida, a trilha sonora é ótima e a história muito boa, o jogo não tem nenhuma opção de multijogador, que também é algo ridículo, pois não é um jogo barato pro conteúdo que oferece.

    No merece la pena comprarlo por el precio que vale, la historia del juego no está terminada, sistemas de combates con mecánicas simples y repetitivas, a nivel argumental se queda bastante corto y frío, lo único bueno que tiene el juego son sus gráficos, pero como bien dicen, los gráficos no siempre lo son todo.

    An overestimated game, made mostly with marketing and advertising rather than proper game development.
    There is no possibility of upgrading your character, there are tons of useless things to do (like looking at strange objects while rotating them in your hand) and there is not much to play either (in terms of real gameplay). One of the greatest disappointment of the year.....

    This game is the quintessential near miss. Unfortunately it's only aiming as high as "graphical powerhouse" and not "great game."

    It's painful to come down hard on this game, since I imagine it was rushed out to function as a launch exclusive for the PS4. And, boy, did that console need some games in the early days. But this game needed more time, if at least to tighten up the gameplay a bit. As it is, this game is simply not fun to play.

    Credit where credit is due: the visuals in this game are amazing and still outshine most anything seen today. Sure it's only 30 fps, but the richly detailed environments rarely repeat assets. You can tell that an object in the distance is made of glass or stone based on how light hits it. And for the first time ever, subtle facial animations convey subtext during conversations.

    Yet at all turns the game distracts you from its own presentation. The plodding speed at which you move through the world will make you want to pull your hair out--until the games hampers you further during certain sequences. You'll face corridor after corridor of cover-based monotony--only to die from a sudden quick time event. And the amount of screen space your character takes up, blinding you to your surroundings.

    The only other part that is great is the world-building and presentation of the story--even if the story itself is frustratingly standard. All the voice acting is great, and the writing is pretty good most of the time. But the story just doesn't have enough heart to get you to really care. And while I would have loved to see more of this story, the way the game leans into its abrupt cliffhanger ending is laughable.    … Expand

Segundo punto, jugablemente el juego es repetitivo, con unas mecánicas más que explotadas, no aporta nada de su propia cosecha, y es que además tiene bugs. La moda de los "peli-juegos" creo que debe quedar más en un segundo plano y no anunciarse a bombo y platillo por todos lados. Respecto a la trama y sin spoilers, es todo un completo cliché, nada novedosa, cualquier película decente me hubiera entretenido más. Otro punto negativo de este tipo de juegos es que no son rejugables, una vez te lo pasas (o más bien lo ves) se acabó. La rejugabilidad es un punto importantísimo en los videojuegos y este nisiquiera cumple ese punto. Una decepción tras el hype que hubo por el, NO recomiendo su compra, incluso si no disponeis de mucho tiempo, no recomiendo ni jugarlo.… Expand

    Top-notch graphics and nothing else. That is what you should expect from this hiper linear, boring and full of rigid mechanics game. The stealth mechanics are nonsense and the Quick Time Events don't feel natural. If the atory was engaging at least, maybe it could make up for the dull gameplay, but it's not. It's also too short, but you might even be glad of that.

    Although the storyline invokes weighty subjects like colonialization and socioeconomic inequality, it fails to address these topics in any substantive way. Ditto the game’s dialogue, which contains flourishes of eloquence that founder because, as pleasing as the words are to the ear, the actions they affect have no bite.
