I am about 5 hours in and I have to say thus far, no, the story is not all that good. I watched some of it on Youtube and I read a lot of the reviews so I knew there was issues with the story coming in but yeah, the narrative is not great. I would not put in on Ryse level. I thought the Ryse narrative and tale of revenge was pretty great.
Another difference between it and Ryse is that while Ryse is also cinematic, you're at least experiencing gameplay for most of the game it seemed. In The Order, so far it has seemed almost 50/50 or even like 60/40 in terms of cinematics/QTE's versus actual gameplay.
And the gameplay itself is not that good, thus far. There is almost no variety in enemies, the guns almost all perform the same. They have no kick, no bite to them. And the awesome gore we saw in gifs everyone posted around the Internets is literally limited to those two guns the people were using. The lightning gun and sawed off shotgun, neither of which are common in the game, are really the only weapons I have found satisfying so far. Even the almighty thermite gun was a disappointment to me.
You can Redbox it or Gamefly it and be done in a day or two. I would not recommend a $60 purchase.
