    Terrible game without a lot of action, a lot of talk but of 5 terrible chapters where did nothing the game is not worth the price asked. The game only has graphic and sound great quality, for those who want to watch and added the game instead of playing I recommend.

    Excellent !!! The graphics are stunning, the music and atmosphere are paramount , but expected more playing time.
    More weapons and more freedom in the maps.

We have to establish that fact upfront. However, all of the negativity this game is receiving is entirely excessive. It seems like people a criticizing the game for what it is not instead of enjoying it for what it is. If you are here to get an idea if this is something you would enjoy then you must first understand what type of experience this title offers. It is not an open world game with quests and side missions. It is not a dedicated 3rd person shooter for the competitive shooter crowd and it most certainly is not a game which offers multiple branching story paths. It is a very cinematic experience which strives to tell a very linear story in a very specific way. It uses phenomenal well written and brilliantly acted cut scenes, a solid but not evolutionary 3rd person cover mechanic and very well implemented QTEs as vehicles to tell a very engaging story. So if you ever thought that it would be awesome to control an action move then this is your game. The presentation is flawless. These are CG quality graphics we are looking at here. And because the visuals and the atmosphere are so well executed I feel like the cinematic approach is fully warranted because for the first time a video game truly looks like a move. It was one of the best story experiences I have had in a game. This game is an experience that every true gamer should have. If you enjoyed games like Heavy Rain and Ryse then I feel like you will also get what this game is attempting to do and it does it better than any other game before it. This is without a doubt a title that will divide people and I totally understand why. But when I need a break between playing Far Cry 4, Halo MCC, Dying Light etc. this is a fantastic diversion that does not overstay its welcome. I cannot wait for the sequel. Take all the negative reviews with a grain of salt. This is an excellent title if you understand what it offers. I am really enjoying this one!… Expand

In addition to the great look and sound the game itself is not a revolution. You get what you expect a solid third person shooter. It takes 8 to 10 hours to finish the game but like Uncharted and God of War and other games, these are fun, stunning and great 8 to 10 hours. I prefer shorter games when they are great than big games which are boring or too complex. Sure there are great big games out there like GTA 5 and Skyrim, but sometimes when you are busy and don´t have so much sparetime it is great to have a game like this. I don´t understand scores below 70% and lower. For me these guys are wrong. I hope there will be some DLC´s in the future or The Order 2 ?!?!? :) Compared to Ryse I had a lot more fun with The Order but this is only a personal feeling. At least I bought a lot of trash games in the past for more than 59 € and this game is worth it. If you expect a masterpiece of gaming like GTA 5, you will be disappointed. But if you are a fan of easy, good looking third person shooters, buy it. :)… Expand

Graphics, story, sound, music, voice acting and all the technical sides to this game are nothing short of excellent. People are bashing this game because of the barebones game itself. It's around seven hours of gameplay and riddled with quick time events. There are more cut scenes than actual gameplay. I get all the backlash, I really do. But why did this come as such a surprise. I don't think the game was advertised as anything other than what it truly is. The gameplay the order does have though, is really freaking fun. While it doesn't change the formula of the third person genre and is missing some features, the gunplay is very enjoyable.

    Don't listen to all the critics on this one. Most of the negative press is most likely coming from Sony haters, especially on this site. While The Order: 1886 is a bit disappointing in terms of content, it is definitely worth a play through if you are one bit interested in the game.    … Expand

    While not an ADHD shooter, The Order is unflinching in its cinematic vision. While it sacrifices player choice and open worlds, the narrative and visuals are executed with pinpoint control. While there could and should be more here to do and see, I appreciate the dev's commitment to the vision.

    There are drawbacks, as the game ends just as the story is beginning to get interesting.    While not an ADHD shooter, The Order is unflinching in its cinematic vision.

    The game could be longer, sure. But I got 8-9 hours from my first playthrough, which is ok. It's certainly not the shortest game I've played. The most important thing is that it was 8-9 amazing hours.    … Expand

The only bad part and the reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is because this game is bare bones it has no other content or multiplayer, although I generally play mostly single player games I like to know my $60 is well spent. I recommend unless you are hardcore like myself to wait until this game is around $45 to buy.

It is simply the most linear and under developed single player game I have every played and It's shocking how little of the game is under the control of the player. These developers seem to have forgotten what a game is.

    The story is about as deep as an "Underworld" movie, mixed with a little Christopher Nolan, lowest-common-denominator, "humanity." The game also ends, once the story seems like it's about to get interesting. ••••(SPOILER)•••• And Jack the Ripper is the big bad, except only in the sequel.

    All that being said, I enjoyed portions of it, the world was interesting (the world, not the story the game focuses on), and it was visually breathtaking. Now, imagine if the 3d artists involved in this game worked with a company that new how to design games. It's simply not worth the money so that's an automatic 2 points off the score. The other 3 points are for extremely poor game design and a very weak & unfinished story.

I'm not saying the two have never been mixed before but I can't really call this a game, as much as I can an interactive movie. And there's just so many things wrong with it that could have been avoided. The story isn't that good to justify the long cut scenes that trow off the pacing of the game. The shooting is as generic as it gets, and the game breaks it cinematic immersion by throwing waves and waves of enemies at you. All the levels consist of is walking through a hallway picking stuff up and turning it around and inspecting it, cut scene, quick time event, then shoot off these waves of enemies, rinse and repeat for the next chapter. The only thing really good about the game is the atmosphere, graphics, and finding new weapons. But that can't make a game alone, especially if the gameplay of it is so damn grounded. And hand holding. Open up the levels, ditch more of the quick time events and cut scenes and allow for more interaction, as well as putting some more puzzles in there with variety. The developers of this game could have established a much better experience if they provided these things. They had five years to make this, must have spent most of it just trying to get it optimized for the PS4. Because it is polished, but it's basically just another Ryse Son Of Rome. Beautiful graphics with a great atmosphere for its setting, but as a game with core gameplay it falls flat on its heels and gets highly repetitive. It could have been greatly improved.

    The good: Great game, real good gameplay, very nice graphics, very interesting story, real nice world with potential.

    Now the bad: Gets very repetitive at times, very dark game, sometimes hard to see, story feels a bit rushed, extremely linear game.

    Reason for the low score is simple: Really short game, and zero replay value.

As I'm sure everyone who has reviewed this game has said before, the graphics are the most gorgeous I have ever seen on a console, thus far. Besides the visuals, nothing else really stands out about the game. The story is mediocre and the pacing is pretty slow at times. Gunplay isn't as bad as a lot of people claim it is, but the AI is not the best, which makes for a less than challenging experience. There's an option to slow down time during gunfights, which I still don't understand what the point of it is. I guess the developers thought it was badass or something and tried to throw in some matrix crap in there. The battles with the half-breeds are, surprisingly, WORSE THAN SHOOTING HUMANS. Of course, I am talking about the regular encounters, in which you try to shoot at them and then they go hide and 5 seconds later, they show up out of nowhere and ram your ass! Most of the time they don't even try to kill you, they just knock you down and then it's back to trying to shoot the ******* without getting rammed! It's an annoying process, and also, I find it strange that for a game that revolves around the 'Battle between man and the half-breeds' most of your enemies in the game are humans. Huh. Moving on, we have everyone's favorite: QTE's! No, but seriously, these things are the worst. The game is filled with them and they are generic and boring and do nothing to improve the gameplay. And ending on a good note, the game does have some superb voice acting. Kudos to the voice actors. But anyway, it should be said that The Order: 1886 is in no way a terrible game, but it isn't something you are likely to replay. 6/10 (Oh, and those black bars are the devil)… Expand

The Lycans have been great so far and hope there are more later on in the game. Please don't over look the sound and control in favor of the graphics. I would score this game a solid 9 due to the fact that there moments where the game needs to leave me in control. But that is not a deal breaker by any means. It's such a shame this game received such a bad reputation even before it released. Looks like I am going to get about 12-13 hours out of my first play through. With my second play through to grab my 19th Platinum will probably net me close to 30 hours for this game. My only complaint is that the game actually ends. I hope that 1886 sells well enough to get tell the story of 1887 because these Knights need way more attention from PS4 gamers!… Expand

    The graphics are simply stunning. The music and moods tense. It's not the longest game and it is very linear but it sets out and accomplishes its goals: it tells a compelling story, the world is very believable and there are some genuinely good scares. Overall a very solid gaming experience. And the premium edition statue is bad-ass.

It's slow moving, and you'll likely spend as much time watching cinematics as you will actually playing the game. And on top of this, the gameplay is often slow... walking through environments, following characters... but here's the thing. The environment, the characters, the story, the cinematics, they are all VERY GOOD things. I can equate it to Metal Gear IV almost. My god, did that game have cinematics. Be prepared to watch a good 15 minutes between gameplay sometimes. But again, the narrative that's being told is very good. Not LoU good, but there's nothing else quite like the universe RAD has created here. It deserves a sequel.

    This is not a casual gaming experience. You'll need time and no interruptions if you hope to fully enjoy it. It requires your engagement. The shooting aspect is good. Not great, but definitely not bad by any stretch. The voice acting is excellent and by now I'm sure you know the game looks beautiful. There's plenty of room for improvement, but this is something special that needs a chance to evolve a bit more. If you don't mind a slower paced experience and the subject matter intrigues you, I would urge you to give this game a try.    … Expand

To answer that question simply it's a 'no' but really it's the wrong question.

    Developer Ready at Dawn responded by saying it was the quality of the game that mattered not the length. And the game is high in quality that is true but again that's still missing the point.

    The question people should really be asking is, is the game any good? And as you've no doubt already seen my score your already going to know my answer to that.

    Graphically the game is high in quality both technically and artistically, it looks great no doubt about it. But that's about all I've got good to say for this so called 'game'. For the record it took me around about seven hours to finish on normal difficulty but I was so bored I was glad it was short.

    I'd guess more than half of that time was spent watching cut scenes. Literally entire chapters would pass without me ever having control over my character. And when you are in control it's strictly on the games own terms. If the game doesn't want you to run fast or draw your weapon it will pull the rug from under you by removing your control. Ready at Dawn don't want you to go crazy and shoot up their nonreactive game world. They would much rather you walk around sluggishly and slightly rotate pointless objects.

    There is a couple of interesting weapons which threaten to be fun before there taken away from you the moment you get them but the gun combat itself is never anything more than average. Head shots feel strangely unsatisfying and enemies die almost as easily if you shoot them in the hand or foot. There is no puzzles, platforming is the same as in Uncharted (i.e. not real platforming) and anything more complex is just dumbed right down to a quick time event (i.e. press button on screen watch something happen not real game play).

    Ridiculously boring cut scenes that drag on forever and mind numbingly dull item finding for the trophies kills dead any replayability The Order 1886 might of had. Oh did I mention the cut scenes are all unskippable? ...they are.

    The Order 1886 plays very much like The Last of Us or Uncharted 3 which is what Sony probably had in mind. But even by the low standards set by those games this is a step backwards. A complete lack of depths or development. Literally nothing to the game play to engage the player.    … Expand

    This game looks wonderful and sounds wonderful, in that aspect is a masterpiece for the PS4 console.

    This game also offers a really good story plus amazing characters acting, where almost any game out there offers both things like The Order 1886.

    The art inside this game is out of this world, no one can deny it, not even the most horrible fanboy out there.

    The ambience and effects are also very good and personally i didnt think PS4 was going to offer such stuff so soon.

    The gameplay is dynamic, because its supposed that you will keep attention to the story telling and the cutscenes wont bother you, it will be the opossite and you will do enjoy the cutscenes just because the story is amazing.

    I also liked the QTE's because are not a lot but fun and great looking.

    Overall this game doesnt deserves the crappy critic, so i will just score it a 10.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it doesn't have flaws and those that it has are pretty obvious, but if you play it for what it is and not go in with any preconceived notions of what it should be, it is very entertaining and dare I say worth the price tag.
    From someone who loves Gears of War, I can say that no, this is definitely not better than Gears. Is it as good as Gears? No. But it is very good and with a little more work, this series could be on par with Gears easily. Here's to hoping that gamers will take a second look and keep an open mind about this game because it really isn't deserving of such harsh criticisms.

    When I was younger, I probably would've liked a game like this, when you were a kid and things were easy, you didn't have to think much, just grabbed a controller and derped. That's what this game is, there is no challenge. even when you put it on hard difficulty, you have slow motion and you can heal full health in 1.5 seconds with their auto regen system cuz too lazy to put any other healing system in...

To me, it was because they just didn't have enough gameplay, so they mandated you watch every cut scene because otherwise, if they didn't, the game would play through in probably 4 hours. Honestly, It's like you're not even there most of the time. It has to be like 40% cut scenes. The great next gen games allow you to go almost anywhere and interactive with the environment.

And without a doubt, it has the best graphics ever seen in a video game, it'sFrom the moment I booted up The Order 1886 to the second the credits rolled I was absolutely emerged in the world and the story that was created. I found the technological spin on Victorian London in 1886 to be thet most interesting setting I've ever gotten the priveledge to explore in a video game. And without a doubt, it has the best graphics ever seen in a video game, it's obvious. The game looks like your playing a Blu Ray movie.

    Thankfully the story was just as good as the setting, and it had very memorable characters. I especially liked the main character and the 2 most prominent female characters. The acting is spot on and you just keep wanting more.

    Obviously the gameplay is some peoples primary concern, and I had concerns as well but let me tell you what I was most blown away by IMO......

    The third person cover shooter gunplay in this game is unlike anything I've ever played. It's completely original IMO. You can't stay out of cover and simply pick off your enemy when he pops out of cover, if you leave cover for more than 2-3 seconds on Hard, your dead. Snipers are placed across the map that kill you in 2 shots. In order to succeed they give you some pretty cool tactics. Like the option to hold only your arm out of cover to just spray and prey wildly, I've never seen it emplimented this good to where it's not cheating. This causes your enemys to either get behind cover, or you may kill them if you spray enough. The game places heavy damage snipers in certain spots, and enemies with pistols and machine guns have thier positions. You also can't just stay in one spot, because the hard to kill shotgun enemys will charge you, and if he hits you twice, your dead(I play on hard). Another thing different about the gunplay is the way the guns feel and the strategy you have to use to be accurate with the weapons. The weapons in this game are truly awesome, they are perfect. They feel like real guns, they kick like real guns, they are inaccurate like real guns sometimes. With some guns you have to time your shot just right or you will just skim the enemy. The game also has some truly unique weapons that you've never seen before. And each of the 10-15 different weapons has it's own purpose.

    Another part of the game I was blown away by was the different ways you can interact with the world. In some games, if you go up to a note on a piece of paper, the paper magically super imposes itself on your screen, and you read it, and then it goes away. In The Order, you pick up the note with your hand, move it in any direction, then when your done, you place it back down. You do this with most physical items you can pick up in the game. And instead of just giving you a lock picking game like all other games, you have a tool designed by Tesla to pick locks that feels like you are actually picking the lock, not just playing a mini game. There are SO many items like this that you actuallly physically use in the game, like the device you use to open the armorys designed by Tesla, and your monocular is also one of the coolest things. Everything in this game feels REAL, I can't emphasize that enough. NO mini games, NO menus, NOTHING that would remind you that you are in a video game. And the fact that it's bug free and smooth as butter is truly amazing at a time when games ship broken.

    My favorite parts of the game was the stealth section at night in this beautiful garden in the middle of London while it's raining. All the guards are walking around with lights and you can either shoot them with your very limited amount of arrows, or if you time it right, you can melee your enemy for a truly awesome and brutal looking take down. Another favorite part of my playthrough was walking underground beneath london, they give you these lanterns and it's pretty damn creepy and the environment just sucks you in completely. I felt I was inside the game during these sections and it looked so awesome.

    If you want a game like Destiny, COD, or some other grinding twitchy game. That's fine, I sometimes like those games too. But every game doesn't need to be THAT. And if you want the usually survival exploration third person shooter like Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, or Uncharted, those games are awesome. This game is different. You don't "Level Up", it's not "Open World". It's The Order 1886.

    The Order 1886 is an expertly polished, truly immersive, ground breaking experience that's never been done before. It has original class leading graphics,fresh game play, and a way of telling you the story never before exerienced in a video game. If you want an experience you truly have never had before, I recommend you try The Order 1886.

    I rate games based on the answer to this question. Did the developer create the exact game they wanted to create, without cutting any corners, and perfectly realizing thier idea? Yes, 100%.

Like were are my other 15-20 maybe 30 chapters to explain what happened to the order and those things in the crates. IN conclusion the game is missing many many story missions to explain everything and fix it and there needed to be more unique guns. Its feels like SCEA cut ready at ready at dawns development time in half or are holding everything out for DLC.… Expand

    One of the best games I've ever played since Metal Gear Solid for PSX. Beautiful atmosphere, epic plot, great graphics. Yes, it's short. Yes it does not have multiplayer. So what? It's not a game for kids crying all the time online. It's a game made for serious people who enjoy and remember good stories. I just can't wait for a second part.

    Well done RAD.

That said my only complaints were towards the game play. I did enjoy the game play and the weapons themselves, but i found the game play lacked execution. Anytime you were in a fight the enemies just came out in waves, mostly in the same spot. Also when you were fighting werewolves you were always encased in a boxed room. I would have liked to seen werewolves turning mid fight with other enemies or the enemies flaking you, just something other than waves. I can understand some saying the length doesn't support the price, but honestly the production value in this game is more than worth your time and the price. Plus the game never felt short nor was it a short game. It holds an average time for a campaign and it sure did deliver. I understand the complaints for the quick time events as well, but i never found myself hating them. This game was great and i hope it does well enough to grant it a sequel, I would love to see improvements in the game play since i believe that would fix the the heavily dependent upon quick time events and add some length to the game it self. Just keep in mind this game isn't for everyone so please don't listen to reviews under 5. It's great and i highly recommend picking it up.… Expand

    The Order: 1886 is the finest example of a 'playable movie' I've ever experienced. It's something of a blend between a very well-produced animated film and a video game. The transitions from one to the other are practically seamless, and the pacing of the action and the storytelling aid the viewer/player in both understanding what's going on and participating in what's going on.

    If you    The Order: 1886 is the finest example of a 'playable movie' I've ever experienced. It's something of a blend between a very well-produced animated film and a video game. The transitions from one to the other are practically seamless, and the pacing of the action and the storytelling aid the viewer/player in both understanding what's going on and participating in what's going on.

    If you make this purchase, expect to be entertained, and to take part in a highly-scripted cinematic experience that is more tightly controlled than you may be used to in other games. It's still fun, but because of the high amount of detail and attention to story, the game is shorter, and that is a good thing from my perspective. I like experiencing a game that I can finish quickly sometimes, keeps up a solid story pace, and one that doesn't drown the story in repressive amounts of repettitive action.

    In a way, this is a very experiemental video game, and it definitely crosses genres in more ways just crossing FPS and animated movie, by both incorporating stealth components and button-press fighting like from God of War. The mere fact that it's a very short game is also different these days, with many game companies trying to extend playtime by giving you infinite challenges in open worlds. These are okay, for what they are, but they lack the storytelling acumen present in something like The Order: 1886 or in The Last of Us, which has a very similar feel.

    The Order was successful in holding my attention over the entire story, and if you have a weekend day to sit down and play this, you can sit down in the morning and be done with it by evening, even taking dining breaks. I really enjoyed the story, which is something I cannot say for most video games out there (cough-Destiny-cough).

    The acting in the game was also top-notch. It looks like they did some seriously amazing motion cap work with this, and worked hard to make the facial expressions and voice timing perfectly working every time.

    Now for the reason I removed 1 star:
    I disliked the button-reaction boss battles. I've always hated these in other games as well. I did not see that in the trailers, so I assumed that the battles would all be FPS-style. They aren't. The button-reaction challenges involve attacks by very fast opponents and learning to time your attacks to STOP early enough so that you can press the button you need to dodge. The dodge timings are highly scripted, and you don't have any option on what to do. You either hit 'circle' at precisely the right time, or you don't, and you die pretty fast if you don't. The attacks aren't logically placed, and the button timings seem wrong in my hands. For example, right after a creature attacks, you have to attack back, but I ended up pressing the attack button repeatedly before my character would attack, because I wasn't in the 'attacking window' or whatever. There was no smooth fighting feel for this, it was all way too scripted for my taste. Additionally, high-powered rifle shots to some combattants, the Lycans, did not seem to phase them. There was no indication that shooting them in the head even slowed them slightly. They weren't dead until you landed the last shot.

    Unfortunately, this clouded a rather otherwise solid FPS experience. The weapons, particularly the thermite rifle and the arc lance were inspired and fit into the technology of the late 1800's, assuming some boost in weapon innovation from England essentially having complete imperial control over most of the planet, and being forced to develop weapons to combat the main threat of the story.

    About the FPS fighting - there were times when I did not like the combat system because the weapon tracking was rather slow, or the weapon would be on target, and then suddenly the character would pull the weapon into ready-position, not shooting position, because you happened to slide a little close to a corner or a railing, instead of staying on target, even with the aiming trigger pulled. This became rather frustrating, but you could deal with it.

    Finally, there are ethical issues. Every FPS game needs to deal with the ethics of your character needing, or wanting, to kill large numbers of people. This isn't a stealth game, for the most part. You cannot choose to evade your enemies in most situations, or if you can, I could figure out how to do it only once or twice. You're forced down a direct course 100% of the time, following script, and that often involves a large number of rebels or company men attacking you.

    This means that for some portions of the game, when your character's been specifically instructed to keep violence low and try to not kill people, you end up in massive firefights that you might conceivably have prevented had you done a better job staying undetected. It seems that the main character doesn't particularly care about that stuff because he's spent several lifetimes killing, and without any sort of repercussions for doing so    … Expand

Pienso que será sin duda uno de los títulos más controvertidos en cuando a disparidad de opiniones de esa generación y uno de los más recordados dentro de este hobby por dicha controversia como pocos juegos hanThe Order lleva con muchos años de desarrollo y ha llegado también con mucha polémica detrás, se podría resumir como juego esperado y juego polémico donde los haya a partes iguales. Pienso que será sin duda uno de los títulos más controvertidos en cuando a disparidad de opiniones de esa generación y uno de los más recordados dentro de este hobby por dicha controversia como pocos juegos han suscitado desde hace muchos años.

    Comenzaremos por decir que The Order es un juego que tiene una propuesta clara para con el jugador y es adsorber en este en el viejo Londres de corte steampunk que los chicos de RA han querido crear, mezclando elementos de fantasía como armas imaginarias futuristas con la fantasía de la mitología europea, todo esta mezcla casa muy bien y consigue una atmosfera que atrapa al jugador desde el primer minuto.

    La base de la historia tiene sus cimientos en una cruzada que tiene lugar desde hace siglos, en concreto desde los tiempos del mítico rey Arturo. Los caballeros de la mesa redonda van pasando desde antaño sus nombres a los nuevos caballeros caídos que caen en combate contra la lucha contra los híbridos, hombres lobo. La Orden de los caballeros se encarga de mantener el equilibrio entre ambas razas desde hace siglos y combaten a estos.

    Con esta propuesta arranca el juego, con una historia y trama que si bien toma prestadas muchas cosas que se han visto ya en cine o libros, las hace suyas para imprimir de un carácter único al mundo que nos rodea en el juego y a sus personajes, algunos como el protagonista o su mentor con un fuerte carisma. El juego tiene un arranque lento, siendo los dos primeros capítulos casi un tutorial largo cargado de una larga cinemática en el segundo para presentar el mundo de los caballeros en esta época que describo atrás.

    This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1920x1080.

    Es un juego con un componente cinematográfico aun mayor que otros títulos que ya conocemos como TLOU, o Uncharted, no solo porque posea muchas cinemáticas si no porque intercala estas con el gameplay de diferentes maneras. Para analizar el gameplay del juego lo tendríamos que diseccionar en cuatro partes. Por un lado tenemos fases donde el juego toma prestadas fases con ligeros toques de plataformas, donde deberemos de escalar por edificios, o saltar entre tejados.

    Después estaría el gameplay mezclado con cinemáticas, que salta de estas dejando de nuevo el control con el jugador y viceversa a cada pocos segundos para lograr ese toque cinematográfico a base de sentir que nunca perdemos el control del todo. Después el juego bebe también en algunos niveles de fases de infiltración donde deberemos de hacer gala de nuestro sigilo para que no nos descubran e ir eliminando a los enemigos por detrás como ya hemos visto en otros juegos.

    Por último nos encontramos con el gameplay de donde bebe el juego totalmente y es el del género shooter. Basado en un sistema de coberturas como ya vimos en los Gears of War o el más reciente Uncharted, el juego no inventa nada nuevo, y tampoco lo ha pretendido nunca el estudio en este contexto, pero lo que hace lo hace muy bien en este apartado mostrando un gameplay igual de absorbente que otros, gracias a dos factores. El primero la gala visual y sonora del que hace gala, del que hablare más abajo, mostrándonos un espectáculo audio/visual sin precedentes hasta la fecha en un videojuego, y segundo por una solidez enorme en dicho gameplay, sin fisuras, con una estupenda jugabilidad que hace gala de un control perfecto del personaje y la armas que manejaremos.

    Nunca iremos totalmente sobrados de munición y probablemente en muchos combates, sobre todo en los más largos deberemos de ir recargando nuestra munición que dejan los enemigos caídos en el suelo, o tomando sus propias armas. El juego hace gala de una variada gama de armas, algunas realmente impactantes, otras igual de impactantes pero además muy originales como la escopeta de termita, donde rociaremos la zona de un gas para después prender dicha zona con una bengala y el espectáculo esta servido. El equilibrio, peso y consistencia de las armas es un apartado en el que se ve que el estudio ha puesto también gran mimo y esfuerzo, ya que notaremos cada cambio entre ellas de forma consistente así como la dosis de realismo y brutalidad a la que se han dotado algunas de ellas como el arma de rayo donde arrancaremos literalmente trozos del cuerpo de los enemigos.

    Por último destacar que el juego bebe también del Uncharted en los ataques cuerpo a cuerpo contra los enemigos, comenzando una secuencia corta para derribarlos cuando pulsemos un botón, siendo algunas bastante gores y salvajes. Nuestro protagonista, Gallahad, mas que un cuchillo lleva una espada corta con la que no duda en atravesar con ella desde la clavícula hasta al pecho a los enemigos en escenas realmente duras y bastante explicitas.

    En el gameplay del juego también interactuaremos a veces con el escenario para avanzar por zonas, pulsar elevadores, mover carruajes, lo típico y que como digo aporta siempre el control del personaje intercalado con cortas cinemáticas para lograr siempre ese enfoque cinematográfico. Después el juego posee también numerosas cinemáticas para narrar la trama, algunas como la mencionada del capítulo dos bastante largas. En este sentido desde el MGS4 no había jugado a otro juego igual.

    Esta a sido una de las fuertes criticas del juego, siendo únicamente el medio que han querido usar sus creadores para narrar la historia de los caballeros de la Orden, al igual que otros creadores las toman prestadas en mayor o menor medida como medio para narrar lo que desean contar. Gustará esta decisión más, gustará menos a algunos, ya que entra en puros gustos personales, y el juego hace una propuesta clara sobre ello, sin matices. Pero como digo no es un punto negativo, es la herramienta que han decidido de usar sus creadores para narrarnos esta historia.

    Otra parte crítica del juego es la duración. Este que escribe se termino el juego en normal en su primera ronda en algo más de siete horas. ¿Corto? Si, pero no menos que otros del mismo género que han salido antes, y con una base de horas del mismo promedio que otros. No tiene online, que alargue la vida del título, pero tampoco lo tenían otros de la pasada generación.
    El equilibrio entre cinemáticas y shooter toma ritmo a justo en el capítulo tres y la propuesta que hace el juego mezclando todos los elementos del gameplay que he comentado atrás llegará a absorber a unos más y a otros menos, dependiendo de que este buscando cada persona en un juego.

    A mi personalmente la propuesta de los chicos de RA me ha gustado mucho, hubiera sido un punto negativo que con tanta cinemática esta fuera mediocre, porque entonces llegaría aburrir, pero si algo de lo que hace gala el juego es de un guión realmente trabajado para un videojuego y de unos giros en la historia y trama que sin inventar nada nuevo, están francamente bien realizados e invitan al jugar a no parar de jugar para seguir disfrutando de los acontecimientos de la historia.

    Sobre el apartado gráfico del juego cualquiera que haya disfrutado de la experiencia podría escribir más de un folio de el recreándose en el abrumador espectáculo que han conseguido en este nivel. El juego es ni más ni menos que una enorme CGI de alto nivel en movimiento, alcanzando unas cotas que espero que marquen los juegos en esta generación a partir de ahora, porque el nivel es tan alto y el salto tan grande que ahora todo lo que veamos que este por debajo nos sabrá a poco a no ser que goce de un gran apartado artístico que lo compense.

    No hay ni una sola textura mala, ni un efecto dejado de la mano o descuidado, la atención por el nivel visual del juego se podría decir que raya casi lo enfermizo, y eso se ve en detalles como en el cristal de las lámparas por la noche mojado por la lluvia, en como la iluminación de la llama interactúa con el agua que cae a través del cristal. Comento este detalle porque es un simple punto de luz en una fase que podrían haber solventado con algo más simple y no con lo que comento, para mostrar un ejemplo de hasta que punto se ha cuidado cada plano del juego a nivel gráfico. Jamás en mi vida he visto tanto mimo en este sentido por un juego en cada detalle por minúsculo que sea.

    This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1920x800.

    La banda sonora posee la misma calidad que el apartado gráfico, donde violines y chelos muy presentes en ella, dan ese toque oscuro al juego en el mundo y época donde se desarrolla. La música creada para el juego posee una calidad increíble manteniendo siempre todo el nivel, pero destacan varias piezas donde realmente el compositor se ve que ha estado en estado de gracia regalándonos para los oídos unos temas abrumadores, tanto los lentos para algunas escenas emotivas con algunos coros muy acertados, como los más impactantes para otras. Sobre los efectos de sonido también habría que hacer un punto y parte. Londres esta vivo en el juego, y la contundencia de las explosiones y sonido de las armas salta de la pantalla con mucha fuerza, en resumen, un gran nivel y cuidado el que se le ha dedicado a este apartado también.

    Resumiendo, es un juego de unas 7-8 horas, que durara más o durara menos dependiendo de la habilidad del jugador y de lo que se pare en ciertas pantallas únicamente para contemplar algunos paisajes que quitan el aliento, o para recoger objetos del juego, o sea una duración normal de muchos de los juegos de la pasada generación, sin más. Los amantes de los platinos sacaran los de este juego en el primer día, no ofrece retos fuertes quitando el nivel difícil de dificultad para conseguir trofeos difíciles.

    The Order es un shooter con grandes dosis de cinemáticas, intercaladas con tenues pinceladas de plataformas, sigilo y con fases de puro y clásico shooter con coberturas, la mezcla de todo ello resulta homogénea como comento atrás ya en el tercer capítulo, ofreciendo al jugador una experiencia que solo se podría definir como única, porque para definir al juego diría que The Order es....The Order, y no se parece en nada a lo que ha salido hasta la fecha por esto mismo que comento. La propuesta de RA creara odios y alabanzas dependiendo que quien sostenga el mando, pero de lo que no se le puede quitar merito dejando de lado la mezcla que han querido crear en su gameplay que comento detalladamente atrás, es que es uno de los juegos mas bellos y trabajados que se han visto jamás a nivel audio/visual, y solo por el espectáculo que ofrece en este sentido merece ser disfrutado por cualquier amante de los videojuegos, aunque no sea muy amante de los shooters, ni de las cinemáticas. Es un juego que se debe de analizar en conjunto una vez finalizado, y agitar y mezclar todo lo que ofrece en nuestra cabeza, para hacerte después una única y franca pregunta ¿has disfrutado?.......    … Expand

    The Order: 1886 is the net result of AAA developers focusing on something that grabs people on the surface of what it looks like it's going to be, but doesn't focus at all on adding meat to the bones of the title.

It is visually stunning, has fantastic audio and on the surface looks an absolute masterpiece.

    Unfortunately, you then play the game for more than 30 minutes, and you realise that you may as well be watching a mediocre CGI movie rather than play through a drab, unevenly paced 3rd person bog-standard cover shooter with a badly wasted setting due to a lacklustre plot.

    To use a book analogy, you pick the book up, you look at the amazing cover and can't wait to read the whole thing. You then read the first chapter and you're thinking, "wow, this could be the best book ever!". Then you read chapter two, and it's the same thing as chapter one, but toned down. Chapter three is the same. By this point, you're asking yourself, "so yeah, the first part was great, but can I have something else now?" But chapter four and five are the same. At this point, you're bored of the story. The characters are boring, and the pretty cover art is a distant memory. By chapter six, you've lost all interest, and then it ends at chapter seven, because the story is short anyway. The impression you're left with is that everything around the story was great, but the story itself was abysmal.

    And thus, The Order: 1886 joins the growing list of AAA titles on the "next gen" systems that flatters to deceive. My guess is that only about half of those who play the game will have the willpower to finish it, and only half again will actually enjoy it, and those that do are those who value something that looks good rather than actually IS good.    … Expand

Then this game is something you just have to play.

    There is a level of quality here that is far from the standard in today's games. It's a window in to the future and something every gamer should be extremely excited about.

    The Order is a story heavy game with quick time events and where you often just sit back and relax while watching the story unfold. But suddenly you are in the middle of a dramatic event and you have to help out by clicking buttons at the correct time. And often you take full control in deadly firefights where you obliterate enemy waves with weapons of pure destruction.

    If you like games like Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and even allot of the games from Telltale. Then I can recommend The Order: 1886 without any hesitation.    … Expand

    A masterpiece of modern gaming. Expertly combines cutting edge visuals, atmospheric and intense audio, with fun, punchy and violent shooting gameplay, great story and interesting characters. Ignore the uninformed haterade, there are very little QTEs in this game, and while it's true that there are a lot of cutscenes (which are NOT qtes), they are very well done and a pleasure to watch.A masterpiece of modern gaming.

    Here is an new IP that takes existing stories from legend and history, wraps them up with an interesting spin that looks and plays wonderfully. Yet is getting blasted by criticism from all sides.

    Yes compared to some games it is short. But then some games have a massive amount of padding to increase their length. I have yet to finish Skyrim's main campaign as I lose interest, there is too much to do and the focus is lost. I recently got Dragon Age Inquisition and although I am enjoying it immensely, I do wonder if I really need to wander or ride about the Hinterlands collecting shiny shards or drawing pictures in the sky.

    Compared to others though the length of The Order is comparable or even longer. It took me longer to finish this story than any of the Call of Duties. An unlike the Call of Duties and their ilk I found myself engaged throughout the entire story.

    Yes, there are QTE's but those do not bother me. People complain about QTE's but what is the alternative? They provide interactivity to what in the past has been just a cutscene and when you think about it really an entire game is really just one long QTE, i.e. you press a number of buttons in sequence to progress. God of War titles use QTEs excessively and those games are always well received why does this game get dragged over the coals for them?

    Additionally I will always prefer a well crafted QTE than "shoot the inexplicable weak point until it dies" mechanic that even now developers fall back on.

    I really enjoyed this game. I found the story interesting and it was provided in an engaging way. Visually this game is stunning. My Father in Law thought I was watching a movie with real life people when he saw me playing it. The characters are well crafted, yes they are based on existing tropes, but they are tropes that work and slot into the setting well. The voice acting is brilliant and the music matches the pace and tone of the scenes perfectly. I liked the weapons, thoroughly enjoyed zapping enemies with the arc gun and found the thermite gun to be a very interesting take on the remote explosive weapon.

    Perhaps if this game had a multplayer option it would have been better received. Perhaps like many recent titles it is a victim of hype.

    If you want a nicely presented story with nearly all the chaff cut from it, if you like short, sharp gunplay sequences that do not out live their welcome and even a nice little stealth section thrown in for good measure, then get this game.

    If you judge the value of a game by the length of time you spend playing on it or if you prefer your action to be non stop with the story taking a back seat to battling enemies then you might want to give this one a miss.It is likely not your cup of tea. But that is OK, there are plenty of games that are.    … Expand

    I finished this game on hard in two 5 hour play sessons over two nights. I didn't sit here with a stopwatch timing individual breakdowns but it sure felt like I spent half of each of those sessions just sitting there watching cutscenes, not actually playing.

I didn't sit here with a stopwatch timing individual breakdowns but it sure felt like I spent half of each of those sessions just sitting there watching cutscenes, not actually playing. I'm a quality over quantity kind of person and I'd gladly take a 10 hour long game with a superior story than a game that pads out content behind hundreds of busy work gathering side quests (see: Far Cry 4) but this game doesn't offer quality relative to the cost.

    The story itself is a meandering mess that doesn't seem to know where it wants to go from moment to moment, let alone chapter to chapter. When it ends, it just ends. It's very reminiscent of Halo 2's single player campaign in that just as players feel like the page is about to turn and things are going to get better, it just drops to the credits. The gameplay is miserable as it's one half shoddy cover shooter that tries to be Gears of War or Bulletstorm and just fails and one half QTE button masher with typical "insta-fail" mechanics.

    But boy is it stunning to look at! The order is the very definition of a flash-over-substance game and it's saddening to see how many people are falling for it, rating it highly based on graphics alone and ignoring the glaring gameplay and story telling issues.

    In short, The Order: 1886 is a very schizophrenic game that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Sometimes it wants to be a shooter (and performs badly in that role) and sometimes it wants to be a cinematic story telling experience (which is also mediocre). I'm thankful I chose to get this from Redbox rather than buy it. Value is subjective and, personally, I wouldn't have paid more than $10 for this "experience".

    Added: Be wary of the rampant rise in "10" score ratings whose reviews only exist to be contrary to negative reviews. Many of them come from new posters who have no prior reviews to their name. Such reviews are likely little more than astroturfing.    … Expand

    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.
