Well, played through first 4 chapters, it took me about 2 hours. So far, it is OK, apart from one thing - I could have done without shooting. Not that there is much of it.
First off, let me repeat myself from my previous The Order posts, made before I played it, so I could only state the absolutes: I really like cinematic games, I really like story-heavy games, I do not mind QTEs, I am fine with short games. I really like TPSs, and the setting of this game is very interesting to me. I really wanted and expected to love this game.

Then I started playing TO, and after the first 1/4 I can say that 65 meta is perfectly justified. I would give it 6/10 - max.
Graphics are fantastic (but then again it is the least important aspect for me), story is interesting, the concept exciting....if only they stopped interrupting the story with occasional moments of ushering me into the a semi-open plaza to shoot some guys.
I said I don't mind QTEs, but is it really necessary to give me a prompt every single time I need to dodge a lycan, every time I need to do anything really.
I honestly would have preferred this game to have been a Telltale style adventure, if they couldn't make up their minds on what to make of it.
I will finish the game, but so far I am so unimpressed, and a little insulted - it treats me as an Alzheimer patient. I remember it's X to jump over the ledge, no need to remind me all the time. I remember it's X to dodge, I remember how to pick a lock...

I'm very disappointed with the way they ruined a very promising concept. So 6/10 is fair...
