The Order: 1886 isn't a disaster, nor is it a particularly good game. It's a hollow diversion, entertaining but outmoded and caught somewhere between a medium it repeatedly fumbles and one it fails to effectively embrace.

Quelle surprise.

"Short, shallow yet utterly sumptuous, The Order: 1886 is a narrative-driven shooter that already feels dated."

Glad to see the game get those reviews. That's not the direction I want the game industry to take.

Boom! Headshot!

damn, that was pretty agressive.

 

[Seanspeed]

That is ridiculous. So if it doesn't fit what you want out of a game, it.needs to critically fail so you can have an abundance of games that you actually do like to choose from? As of all of a sudden there won't be diversity in gaming.

The amount of AAA studios is dwindling and I think some people don't want a type of game they don't enjoy to take up more of a percentage of their efforts. Kinda like how many people were getting upset at the plethora of FPS' coming out for a while.

Somewhat understandable, but I still find it very hard to root for any game to fail. Not to mention its naïve to pretend that a large console war aspect isn't playing a part, too, hidden behind disingenuous 'understandable' justifications.

It's shallow fun while it lasts, but The Order feels dated before its time. Despite being the PlayStation 4's new poster child, the latest pretty face for the new generation, Ready at Dawn's truncated epic feels like a product of the year of its inception - a time when the world was in thrall to Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain, and before the prescribed dramatics of Quantic Dream turned sour with Beyond: Two Souls. The result is an earnest game, sometimes disarmingly so. There are no levelling weapons, no branching narrative decisions, no litany of unlockables - and there's absolutely no reason to return once it's all over.

The Order: 1886 isn't a disaster, nor is it a particularly good game. It's a hollow diversion, entertaining but outmoded and caught somewhere between a medium it repeatedly fumbles and one it fails to effectively embrace.

Almost as good as Kirby Rainbow Curse!

[StoppedInTracks]

Told yall people in previous The Order threads:

pre-order Bloodborne instead. This is sound advice from an avid Sony fan.

[meanspartan]

6.5 aint bad guys calm down jeez

6.5 is on the lower end of average, but I agree for a game coming out of nowhere it would be alright and could even have it's following.

But for a huge divisive exclusive?

Come on. IGN isn't even that tough a reviewer. This is NOT good.

Looks like the reviews fall in line with my impression of the game.

 

[Slixshot]

V_V disappointing... but I will still try the game myself.

Yeesh.

Sounds like my kind of game.

My goodness im out.

Its dying light and driveclub all over again.

No point in taking anything the gaming press says seriously anymore.

 

[SSReborn]

Damn son.

 

[QuikNez]

I called it, RYSE > 1886.

It's a shame, I'm still buying it though.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Now can we get some actual 'next gen' experiences on these new consoles and not just the same vapid shit with prettier graphics, please.

 

[Truant]

I don't see the big deal. It's going to be completely mediocre. Not bad, not good. We have room for those games as well.Filler material between the AAA gems.

 

[GlamFM]

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEFF

oh oh

There's a word for games like The Order: 1886. Rental.

 

[Grady]

Well, this just swayed me to request amazon cancellation before they shipped it.

 

[T-Rex.]

Ouch.. I'm still picking it up though.

 

[silva1991]

I really expected better scores : (

 

[spekkeh]

Oh noes The Order: 80M84

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Oh man what a mess. I'm still getting it and probably going to enjoy it but you can bet your ass I'll sell it right away.

lmao i seriously dont know what some of u were expecting 8/9 for this game. it has mediocre written all over it. its going to get slaughtered on metacritic

 

[Acquiescence]

Oh wow, it's taking a battering. Can't imagine the folks over at Sony HQ are happy with this.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Everything i expected, yeap.

 

[Frillen]

Reviewers are pretty much mirroring my thoughts. And people were calling me a troll.

These are worse than I expected.

Feast, feast on this luxurious $60 steak!

 

[thelastword]

It devalues the industry when people can even be bothered to write correct English.

The industry has been devalued plenty by people who can speak proper English. The list is quite long actually.

Giantbomb 2/5

There are things here worth checking out, but the action feels half-cocked and you'll be finished with it in an afternoon. I won't pretend to guess at how much $60 means to you, dear reader, but I will say that The Order is a middling experience with a couple of bright flashes that only serve to remind you that this could be a more interesting game if more of its ideas were fully formed. If you're bent on seeing The Order for yourself, you should probably rent it.
