    Como gamer neutral, no iba a hacer caso a los puntajes de la prensa y ni siquiera a críticas de youtubers (que ni jugaron el videojuego). Espere a que saliera a la venta y adquirí el juego tomando un riesgo posible, ya que normalmente no suelo adquirir un videojuego en su día uno a menos de que me haga ilusión y este fue el caso.

Espere a que saliera a la venta y adquirí el juego tomando un riesgo posible, ya que normalmente no suelo adquirir un videojuego en su día uno a menos de que me haga ilusión y este fue el caso.
    The Order: 1886 es uno de los juegos más infravalorados solo por un detalle en la que "la crítica" coincide y es la duración del juego (10 horas a más si vas por coleccionables, algo que cazadores de trofeos aprecian).
    Las horas de juego actualmente es una de las cosas que le preocupa al gamer promedio, cuando antes no importaba ese detalle, solo era un dato mas no algo a tomar en cuenta para una calificación justa. Antes habían juegos que tenían una duración similar y no les bajaron la nota por eso, los calificaron justamente como obras maestras.
    The Order: 1886 es un juego bello en el apartado técnico, con un buen manejo del sonido, unos gráficos impresionantes y una trama muy bien estructurada y desarrollada.
    Sin duda una víctima más del modismo actual de los videojugadores y de la prensa amarillista.
    Espero que este juego tenga una continuación por lo menos en PS5 y que le pongan unas horas de juego más (aunque caigan en el relleno de la trama absurda como muchos juegos actuales) para que esta comunidad cancerígena deje en paz a juegos que sí le dieron calidad a cada minuto de juego sin pasar por el relleno.

    This game is woefully disappointing. It's a great concept plagued by strange design choices and QTEs. The forced walking in segments is tedious, the lack of a collectable counter or proper archive is unbelievable and the fact you can't skip cutscenes is truly criminal when wanting to replay for collectables, but you'd get through the game in about 2 hrs.

    The actually game however is very cliche and you notice a lack of actual gameplay early on. I wish they allowed you to explore, instead a lot of time (of a not very long game) is spent walking you through the game with an over use of quick time events. This quick time events arnt necessarily done badly but they do become annoying.
    Saying this, the game doesn't make me not interested in its universe, quite the opposite actually. It did leave me wanting more and i would love for there to be a sequel. Just one that is done a little differently.

    The Order 1886 really isnt as bad as people are making out, but i recommend waiting for the price to drop before purchasing.    … Expand

    This game has: best PS4 graphic (beauty and detailed), super steam punk world, nice characters, good, interesting story...
    What is missing: time of gameplay, re-playable value
    It is a very good game, but we had a very big expectations. It is linear, action adventure with 3rd person view... You will enjoy it if you liked the last of us, but don't expect to much it is far behind "the last of us"

    I probably enjoyed playing this game more than I've enjoyed playing any video game since The Last of Us.

    People are bashing the game for it's length and lack of replayability. Well. It clocks in at roughly 6-7 hours. Unless you're speedrunning it. But if you're speedrunning it you're missing out on a beautifully crafter a detailed world deep with lore and built with love.

    Graphics 10/10: The graphics in this game amazing. Best looking next gen game to date. It manages to make even The Last of Us Remastered still look last gen despite it's graphical update. Every little detail in the environment is covered and the facial expressions of the characters show every little emotion they're feeling.

    Sound 10/10: The music and sound effects are spot on. The voice acting is INCREDIBLE. Especially given that they used a bunch of a nobodies. You won't see big names like Nolan North or Troy Baker or Jennifer Hale in this game. Hopefully these people get more work.

    Gameplay 10/10: Holy crap it's a completely unbroken, functional, polished game. Something that doesn't seem to get mentioned in any of the negative reviews. I didn't encounter a single bug during my entire playthrough. Movement and gunplay felt smooth and real and not jerky and clunky like it can in some games. Also the melee is thoroughly satisfying.

    Story: This is where the game really shines. This game is not afraid to have a deep and compelling story full of interesting characters that you want to know more about and the world they live in. If you've played games like the Metal Gear Solid series than you'll be okay since some of the cutscenes can last upwards of 10 minutes. But it's not 10 minutes of meaningless exposition. It's a full 10 minutes filled with story that SHOULD be there. They literally could not have cut down on the cutscenes and had the story remain nearly as good as it was.

    In conclusion, don't believe the negative reviews about the game. The lack of multiplayer lead to a higher focus on the single player experience and they nailed it. Easily one of my favourite games right next to Alan Wake and The Last of Us. Even if you don't want to buy it borrow it from a friend who did. You'll thank yourself for it. This is what video games should be. Vehicles to create worlds and tell stories. Not day one paid DLC riddled husks that are obvious attempts just to make money from the hapless consumer.    … Expand

Thirdly, you could not find something like tat where the future works with past together, I mean 19 centure's London with super technology

    -QTEs are also quite decent, they do not detract from the experience.

    Cons:
    -May have had a few bugs

    That's about it for me. The game is like Heavy Rain mixed with Gears of War, and it's really good. So if you want a game that is story AND gameplay, get this. If you were expecting an action packed adventure game, you are in the wrong place.    … Expand

This game should at least be rewarded 5 points alone for its incredible detail in graphics and presentation. Second the shooter mechanics are incredibly smooth and solid, among the most realistic shooting I've seen in a game ever. The cover system is smooth and easy to transition between covers which is such a problem in most games anymore. It's incredibly how call of duty, killzone and some of these other shooters still don't have a solid cover system till this day. Third the storytelling and voice acting is very good but not GREAT as I wish it was. This game deserves at least a 8 or a 7.5 for its innovative graphics and tight shooting mechanics. Oh and did I mention how incredibly awesome some of the weapons are in this game??? Also the melee and quick time events are pretty solid even though this is a chief complaint among many critics and user reviews. I for one don't understand the complaint since Heavy Rain, one of the most highly rated and innovative Playstation 3 games got 9 or 8's all across the board, which is funny cause the only action in the game was quick time events. Which by the way I LOVED Heavy Rain but that's exactly the point I'm making. Why is this game getting the hate that it so doesn't deserve for its short length and quick time events when Heavy Rain didn't even have any shooting mechanics or action??? Gears of War campaign was shorter then this game's but yet that game received 9's all across the board? Yes I understand that Gears of War had multiplayer but it was so generic and lacking that it didn't add any value to the game, at least not for me. It consisted of people running around shotgunning other players and required zero strategy. Also there is not multi-player or split screen for the campaign, I understand this complaint. I do not understand why they didn't implement mulitiplayer or split screen to the campaign but I don't believe it's a reason to give this game such a ridiculous low score especially when it finally provides the innovative graphics, a solid narrative, good voice acting and great shooting mechanics that this next gen has been waiting for and sorely lacking. I've played Ryse, Killzone PS4, Infamous Second Son, Sunset Overdrive, Titanfall, and pretty much every exclusive that has come out for both next gen systems. This was the most impressive. Yes PS4 and Xbox One has yet to have a GTA V (not counting the upgraded version), Uncharted, The Last of Us, or a Metal Gear Solid caliber game yet but its still just over a year of being out. Finally I believe they have a very good next gen game. This is a story driven single player game, if that isn't your taste and your into the whole 100 hours free roam gameplay and heavy into multiplayer, then this isn't for you. I'm rating this game for what it is, a story driven single player narrative which it does very well. Some people don't realize what it is. 8.5/10… Expand

    There has been a lot of debate surrounding The Order 1886; even before its release. One of the biggest debates was over the length of the game. My first and only play-through thus far was on hard and it took just over 9.5 hours to complete. I did quite a bit of exploring, but apparently not enough since as I didn’t earn any of the collection trophies.

    The Order is a story-driven game    There has been a lot of debate surrounding The Order 1886; even before its release. One of the biggest debates was over the length of the game. My first and only play-through thus far was on hard and it took just over 9.5 hours to complete. I did quite a bit of exploring, but apparently not enough since as I didn’t earn any of the collection trophies.

    The Order is a story-driven game with very sparse gunplay. There is a lot of walking and a handful of stealth missions. Though gunplay is sparse, there are several other gameplay elements such as lock picking and overloading electrical boxes.

    The story is quite engaging and drew me in from the beginning. I completed the game in 4 separate gameplay sessions, but I didn’t want to stop playing any of them. Alas, I either had to go to work, to bed, or eat. I played the bulk of the game on a Saturday and stopped only for lunch. Had time permitted, I was intrigued enough that playing through in one sitting was very likely.

    The Order performed quite well on the PS4. I didn’t notice any frame stuttering or frame rate drops. It transitioned from cut scene to game play seamlessly. In fact, a couple of times I stood there not knowing the cut scene had ended. The visuals were phenomenal. Clothing and materials looked as if I could touch them and they draped over the characters quite well rather than seeming like a stiff sheet of plastic. Little details like wind blowing through Galahad’s hair, realistic looking flames, grimy fingernails, the way light interacted with everything, casting shadows or rays through atmospheric dust, were everywhere. Many times I stopped just to admire the details in this alternate version of London

    The game was very linear. There was not a lot of room for deviation with the exception of the occasional out of the way path usually leading to a collectible. There were quite a few cut scenes. They felt like they were the majority of the game, but that feeling maybe partly due to how seamless the game moved from cut scene to gameplay. There is also lot of QTEs in this game, but I was so engaged in the story they didn’t bother me.

    The minimal UI, including the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, lent itself well to the cinematic style and helped deepen the immersion. Honestly, the only time I actually noticed the black bars were during the rare moments when I’d think about something I was going to write in my review (A.D.D FTW), and the bars would cross my mind. Otherwise I was so focused on the story, they were invisible to me.

    The ambient sounds made the environment feel like a living, breathing world. Other sounds, such as gunfire or your gear moving while walking, further drew you in. The music was subtle at times, and very dramatic at others. It never seemed out of place and coupled with the outstanding visuals, it felt like you were right in the story.

    The combat wasn’t innovative, and didn’t bring anything new to the table but was still very fun. Putting one right between the enemy’s eyes was very gratifying and never got old. The gunfights weren’t challenging until the last few, though I was playing on hard. I think I died more on those last few skirmishes, than I did in the entire game prior to them. The stealth kill missions were a little weird at first, but once I got the timing down of sneaking up on someone, they became much easier. Cover was kind of clunky. Some times I couldn’t use an object as cover that seemed like obvious cover to me. I couldn’t move around corners while in cover which made the stealth missions and gun fights a little more difficult.

    In summary, The Order is a very cinematic story-driven game. This is where it shines. If you’re looking for an action game, pass this one up. It’s not action packed, and has a lot of QTE’s and cut scenes. On average it is about an 8 – 10 hour game. However, If you like cinematic, story-driven games, do not pass it up. The Order 1886 is by far the best cinematic game have I’ve played, and comes in just behind Mass Effect and TLOU For Story    … Expand

    In point form:
    - Some of the reviews on the low end of the scale are overly harsh.
    - Possibly the most gorgeously presented game you will see in a long while.
    - The game has a very cinematic presentation that will likely divide people.

    This game is really bad. I'm not speaking about it's life time, about 5-6hours of "gaming". The main failure it's the gameplay. It's so dull and basic. All we do is walking and peacking at backgrounds which are impressives and then we have a cut-scene (God there are sooo many cut-scenes) and then some gameplay, where we shoot 2 or 3 weebos, and back again to the walk.

    Wow...4 hours in and only on chapter 4. Loving this game so far. I was not fooled, going in I knew it was a cinematic experience ala The Walking Dead game.

    If that game can charge $30, The Order is easily worth $50. If they continue with this IP, the only thing I would recommend is to add more chapters or perhaps a small multiplayer ala The Last of Us style for added re playability.

    This game had me gripped from the moment it started until the credits rolled! I see a lot of scores around the '0' mark on here! How can you give this game such a score? Even if this game is not what you expected or not as action orientated as you thought, you can't give this game such a poor score! So many people have said its got great graphics, voice acting    Wow, what an experience!

    This game had me gripped from the moment it started until the credits rolled! I see a lot of scores around the '0' mark on here! How can you give this game such a score? Even if this game is not what you expected or not as action orientated as you thought, you can't give this game such a poor score! So many people have said its got great graphics, voice acting is great, story isn't bad, and then say 'that's it' and give it a score between 0 and 3?! For those things alone its worth a great deal more. I enjoyed the mechanics of the game, gave it some added challenge.

    A limp story, repetitive combat and lack of agency take the shine off a great technical achievement. [May 2015, p.64]

    Visually it's everything you could have hoped for, but the compromises required to reach that fidelity, and moments of narcissism as a result of it, are hugely damaging. [Apr 2015, p.81]

    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.
