I finally had a moment to soak in The Order's world, and all I wanted was for it to be over.

Which is it?

Action packed demos are never a good idea to introduce a game. You get thrown in, ushered along, have no experience with the tools yet, etc. The worst was Enslaved: Odyssey to the west. Which is one reason why we don't get demos anymore. Just wait for reviews from people that actually play the whole thing.

I never even heard of that game before untill my brother gave it to me, ended up liking it a lot. I dont know about the reviews of the game or even the score since I already had it without knoing about it, but all that should not matter anyways. I think if this is your type of game, you wont really think what anyone says about it and your going to buy it. Like me,  dont like multyplayer shooters, so it dosent matter how great people talk about destiny or COD, I still wont get them even if they score a perfect 10.

Many people dismissed Enslaved because of the demo, which was a very linear qte heavy action sequence. (Just the very start of the game, getting of the transport ship) Not representative of 95% of the actual gameplay at all.

At first The order didn't really catch my eyes, but the more I see from it, the more interested I get. I don't know why cinematic is a dirty word nowadays, cinematic platformers used to be the best. Currently it's more often used as a negative. Ofcourse there is a difference between cinematic and having long non interactive cut scenes. Maybe that distinction is lost. I love the expanded horizontal view of movies shot in 2.35:1. A viewpoint that is optimized for a wide fov is something that draws my attention. On PC I crank up the fov slider when available, but that always leaves you with a distorted image.
