Graphics without significant substance

"The Order 1886" is above all: nice to look at. Specifically, one can say that "The Order 1886" the "Ryse Son of Rome" is the Playstation 4. At times you have to really pause to contemplate the splendor. Augenschmeichelnd what the developers have conjured up here. The one thinks not only once and you get caught up doing very often to look around appreciatively. Mirror lungs and textures, a lively-looking city, pretty models. The steampunk universe is to be conclusive in itself without overexcited. A really pleasant and balanced world. Technically (graphically) the title shall prevail and sometimes just immaculate.

:: Groundhog Day QuickTime Event
Under the hood, the so carefully revamped graphics body presents a playful vintage. And that's not to be taken in the best sense of the word. So I was long gone inflationary pelted with Quick Time Events. Since "The Order 1886" more than interactive film for presenting as a game, you blew the first Tastendrücker estates course consistently. What remains for there still away from cut scenes and these events? Trophy Stuff and some creep and shooting passages. The former we give ourselves. The Schleich passages have potential and would calm can be a little longer - that does not mean that they are particularly demanding or require great stamina. The shootings tend between undemanding and unfair. Because really, the AI ​​can not really - well - unfold. Properly dicey it is only in confined spaces and / or when the opponent flood grouse proportions takes and the ammunition has run out. The climbs are carefully integrated into the game and only part of the linear, but never an alternative approach.

:: Storyline without Story
Who now expects to get served a hardened Story winking something furtively toward werewolf and vampire literature of the last decade. Loveless is not (yet) a standard spread (trite and uninspiring boring) story. Not even halfway already known to / the masterminds and is then expected to be surprised by the moderate end bit. Which end is slightly out of place here. Because really, the authors knew not how the story should get 08/15 Pepp. Unfortunate that the storyline is snoring through such a stylish environment.

:: Extras at no extra fun
The contents of the Blackwater Edition that I (still) call my own, are well-intentioned. But the extra cost is not worth, in my view. The DLCs one can give oneself. Definitely. The look behind the scenes - a 5 minute video. Ridiculous. The cowls and the weapons? Superfluous. Had there not added the Blackwater Edition for free PS4, I doubt a purchase seriously. Postcards "Photo Cards" and patches - if you like it. The pendant with chain is definitely something nice for cosplayers - but in my view not to scale.

So what remains of "The Order in 1886"? As there is no multiplayer splitscreen or more alternative routes, also re-play is unnecessary. This will cause a rapid decline in prices for used and Neuspielpreis. What you missed if you do not play it? Definitely a graphic splendor that is beyond reproach. However, it also saves gameplay from yesterday with a storyline of yesteryear. 5 graphics, gameplay 1 star. Leaves us with three. And so is "The Order 1886" judged not only well served but also aptly.
