time for a little review if anybody is interested. Visuals: Right off the bat...the graphics..wow. The fact that a console game can look this good is unbelievable. If you are the kind of person who likes pretty games. This game is for you. Visuals verdict: 10/10 Now I know about 90% of you reading this will not buy a game based on graphics. So here is the meaty part. Gameplay: Once you get used to it, it is [b]acceptable.[/b] Yes, it is very clunky at times and some of the mechanics do not work very well. The biggest one is cover. Half of the time I found myself wishing I could just shoot out of cover and proceed. Unfortunately I played it on hard and would end up dying very quickly. The third person is a nice touch as it allows you to see how good your character actually looks and yes I am fond of Galahad's moustache. (no homo) I was actually quite fond of the gunplay (not the right word). I found it very satisfying once I was able to hit headshots frequently. Although this relates back to visuals, the graphics are no different from gameplay/cutscenes. Even Naughty Dog can't do this. Gameplay verdict: 6/10 QTEs (although part of gameplay): Straight up 1/10. QTEs [b]can[/b] be cool, but not in The Order. Story: I found myself wanting to clap as the credits were rolling. Now of course this is all subjective and I am sure some disagree, but wow I really want the sequal [b]NOW![/b]. It left me wanting more. This is hard to talk about without giving away spoilers...but apart from the sluggish pacing at the beginning of the game I found myself deeply satisfied. Would I play again? Yes. Would I recommend it to a friend? yes. But only at a cheaper price, or borrowed off of me ;) Story verdict: 9/10 Narrative: (kinda links with story I guess) I found the narrative great. This was made even better with above par voice acting. Linking in with the characters, at first I thought "meh" but with hearing what they had to say and the way it was said...I loved them! Narrative verdict: 8.5/10 Is it worth it? If you have deep pockets then yes it is. But for the majority of us who are not as wealthy as some, I find it hard to suggest this game at full price. Yes the story is fantastic and if you are a story fanatic then by all means go for it. But the 8 hours it took me to beat it on hard..I cannot say it is worth it for £50 (UK) $60 (US). This does not mean it is a bad game. Despite the criticisms of the cutscene/gameplay ratio, I found that each and every cutscene was vital to tell the story. They do leave a few loose ends untied, but we know there will be a sequal so we had to expect some sequal bait (although I do disagree with that) but I still found myself happy with what we got. [b]BUT[/b] I know there are some people who dislike cutscenes and want more gameplay, which I can understand, and for you the game is not worth it. Will it be worth it with a price drop? Hell yeah it will. Plus it is an easy platinum if you are into trophies like myself. Final Verdict: The game could have been so much more, but focusing on what we have instead of what we haven't, I would rate this game close to an [b]8/10[/b]. A decent multiplayer (which would be on fire in a setting like this) would have bumped this up to atleast a 9. tldr: pros: +story is a massive plus +great setting +narrative and voice acting +leaves you wanting more cons: -gameplay is sub par -on the short side in terms of hours -not worth the full price as no multiplayer -awful QTEs
