You can have good cinematic games. Last of Us was extremely linear and cinematic. Walking Dead was even worse. Bioshock Infinite. Among many others.
The problem with The Order is its a bad cinematic game, one that is cinematic at a great expense to gameplay. Plus, if you're going to go that route, you better have a great story to tell since you're putting it above gameplay. But The Order fails there, too.
The low scores are very much justified. Hopefully it sells very poorly at $60.
