Ok, figured I would get these out right now. Things are going swimmingly in The Order, substantial progress has been made (not that it matters cause length). I figured I would let you guys know my thought before I render my final judgements. I have a balanced one with both negatives and positives. The Order 1886 so far has been a good time in terms of its story, setting, and the absolutely brain melting visuals work in tandem with it to give you an interesting, and well deeeeeeetailed world to get lost in (well, your imagination anyway. The game is linear)

Based upon the 9 chapters I have completed, the story has good delivery. The acting is superb, lip synching is the best I have seen outside of LA Noire, and it manages to convey sheer dread with other blends of atmosphere. In short, the game makes you believe you're there. Visuals look blurry at a distance thanks to its depth of field filter (all for that silly "cinematic experience"). The back bars can get in the way when you need to see whats out there when the bullets fly, but thankfully its not as horrid as The Evil WIthin's was.

As for the shooting side of things, it holds the game back. Good time in terms of story, but an average shooter at best with cool guns, and some intense battles. However, its obsessive QTE's and overly long cutscenes make this feel like a more interactive Heavy Rain.

Oh by the way... Penis. Shockingly well rendered, and realistic penis.

REVIEW COMING NEXT WEEK!

Well at least their first AAA venture wasn't a complete flop. Hopefully they learn and build on it. Setting has potential for a great game.

Yeah I hope they learn... You would think that people who made a couple God of War games would know that gameplay is everything, but once I heard their leader say "30 FPS is best..." or whatever, you know their focus was in the wrong place.

I think their god of war titles were on the psp. Not sure though. But yeah its nice to have a vision and make the game the way you want, but at the end of the day you're making a game not a film.

They made the two PSP ones... I do like how they handled its presentation, bit its too much and it suffers.

Just watched a guy on Twitch beat it in about 5 hours 30 minutes.

The AI is so lackluster.  They just run out into the open and do the typical "let me completely expose myself to take three shots at you".

My condolences to the people who bought day-one.
