Wouldn't have been the hardest thing to code in either =/


Big omission that will hurt it. A 4 player co-op(online) and 2 player co-op(splitscreen) would have added another dimension without having to build new maps...

Just a 4 player story co-op like Gears 3 would increase replayability significantly...

And I would have even bought PS+ for it.



i guess meta will be around 78

6.5

"The basic conflict at the heart of The Order: 1886 is that considerations for a cinematic approach are prioritized above the needs of basic gameplay. Its best aspects are its stunning looks, atmosphere, and style – which are truly fantastic – and entertaining fiction. But the shallow, slow, and generic quick-time event-riddled gameplay make it feel like an experience that would've been better served by a non-interactive movie than a game. With no multiplayer, and no reason to revisit the short and stunted single-player campaign once it’s been completed, there just isn’t a lot to it."

Oh dear.

The Verge doesn't give a score, but the reviewer likes it.

The Order feels like a much bigger game boiled down to the essentials, a complete experience without any filler.

Open-world games aren't going anywhere, and I don't want them to, butThe Order is proof that there's still a place for linear, cinematic gaming experiences. It may look like a modern game, but The Order is a throwback to some of the best releases from the PlayStation 2: games that didn’t need a massive world to tell a cool story. It turns out I really missed that.

Ahhh damn. 6.5/10 is really not good enough for a game that took 5 years to make... Might just be an anomoly of a review but I really don't see above 80 Metacritic(that's being conservative).



Eurogamer has reviewed it and gave no medal which mean its average based on what they wrote about it
