The Order 1886 (uncut) Standard Edition - [PlayStation 4] (Video Game)

Customer Review

At first I wanted to write a more extensive Rezi but firstly everything has already been said (I recommend most likely to read other reviews 3-2 stars, because they are my feelings to the most objective or sometimes to look at Metacritic) and secondly why felt more time for the Rezi, as in the play through the product. Therefore I will Rezi slightly shorter, but still as comprehensive as possible to deal with The Order.

+ Super graphics (even if it is at the limit, the PS4 is booming and you had to put black bars, so it is not jerky)
+ Sound absolutely fit
+ Good (German) speakers
+ Animations
+ Cutscene productions are absolutely top
+ Integration and transition to QTEs, cutscenes, match-sequence is almost seamless application and throughout
+ Trophies are easily erspielbar

o "Mini Games" such as door opening and shorting are unfortunately wonderfully implemented but without meaning, since one can not fail basically

- The story itself is quite weak average fare without big surprises, but with logic errors, inexplicable character motivation, character development and unspectacular abort at the "end" because still continuing has to follow ...
- The world remains somewhat plastic and boring, no story depth. You can not really dive deep into the world of action and fractions. The Order, the India Company, the Empire, the anarchists, all colorless and unemotional groupings. But not only the fractions coming over bland, unfortunately, the characters, in particular an identification with the main character is a heavily made up impossible.
- The actual game is a shooter Overlap and not even a particularly good one. Even with the "Restart" Tomb Raider one is more required and has as hell more fun and games for money
- Very thin tube level, with not even serious secret areas that need to find it (except for a box that was hiding something nastier and the absurdity of the library, where intentionally searching for objects is interrupted with a cut scene, so you the section must play the same again to find the remaining items)
- Not the smallest story branching, never a story- or Game option (like "I let someone alive" or "I'm trying to save secondary objectives")
- Fragments of Point-Click are left over as picking up newspapers, objects, photographs, but their investigation bring absolutely nothing. As The Order could have been considerably more. Neo-Victorian time and deductive Sherlock Holmes-like shooter would indeed have been something new.
- Partly to sudden QTEs (the Bullet Times QTEs are out, designed also where you have to then RIGHT Symbol key to master the event annavigieren with right stick a hotspot - any intelligent game designers had put the navigation on the left stick, then would you even can produce pretty cool mini-games with all navigational QTE Series)
- The game is too short. 7-10 hours for the story mode but the replayability value tends towards zero. Other "short" games are designed so that you have additional modes, online modes or a high replayability value. Here there is only this one story mode.
- The game is way too expensive, that it would rather just be an interactive movie. 25-30 euros would still have been fairly fair. At 15-20 euros is in my eyes the real value for money for this unique gaming experience. Therefore my advice: Dear borrow over the weekend, instead of buying.

Actually hold quantitatively pros and cons, the balance, so mathematically 3 stars would be understandable, but primarily The Order is now times a game and it also calls for the full price of a game and not 10 euros like for an average movie BluRay. Unfortunately, this pricing situation and the playful qualities are not sufficient to give 3 stars.
