Most of the time, The Order barely allows you to play in any meaningful sense. The parts where you aren't killing indiscriminately amount to little more than pushing a button to move on to the next charnel obstacle course. And while this doesn't make it any worse than hundreds of other similar shooters, it's particularly disappointing here, because The Order has the potential to be something more.

در نهایت باز هم تکرار می کنم The Order 1886 به هیچ عنوان بازی بدی نیست . این اثر دارای نکاتی مثبت و تجربیاتی قوی است که در کمتر اثری می توانید آنرا بیابید و البته دارای نکات منفی نظیر هوش مصنوعی است که باز هم در کمتر اثر شوتر سوم شخصی می توانید به این شدت آنها را تجربه کنید . The Order 1886 عنوانی با پتانسیل بسیار بالا بوده است که بدلیل مشکلات و برخی کمکاری ها نتوانسته به آن پتانسیل دست یابد اما به شخصه احساس می کنم پیشرفتی که نسخه دوم Assassins Creed در مقایسه با نسخه اول و نسخه دوم Killzone در مقابل نسخه اول آن داشت را می توانیم در نسخه بعد The Order 1886 مشاهده کنیم . بازی حدود 10 ساعت برای شما طول خواهد کشید و با وجود نبود بخش مولتی پلیر و محتوای جانبی ، از نظر من ارزش تجربه و خرید را دارد زیرا این اثر تجربیاتی جالب را برای شما به ارمغان می آورد که کمتر آنرا در آثار دیگر مشاهده کرده اید .

The Order: 1886 has moments where it really shines and lives up to the potential shown in early previews of the game, but, sadly, the end product feels like it was rushed out before being finished. The story is full of unanswered questions, and there really is no replay value. Despite all its flaws, there is a story worth experiencing, and some great moments. Hopefully the studio gets a second chance, expanding the franchise and rights these wrongs, along with further developing the world in a sequel.

The Order: 1886 is more cohesive than the 15-year story arc of Quantic Dream's last effort, but cohesion doesn't automatically result in a compelling experience. It succeeds so well in playing out like the middle episode of an unmade series that it forgets to delve deeper into the otherwise fascinating Arthurian lore and its 19th century context.

The Order: 1886 will embrace you in a unmatched cinematic experience and the shooting mechanics are solid. The overall short time you are actually "playing" the game is a major disappointment. There are no advancement options for weapons and the only collectibles in the game are audio logs, photographs and newspapers. There are trophies for finding them all, but no indicator of which items you may have missed. Let me be clear: I did enjoy my time spent with the title, but with no clear reason to trek through the adventure multiple times, combined with the fact it can be beaten in a single afternoon, The Order: 1886 is a rental at best.

I have little doubt that Sir Galahad will join a pantheon of iconic PlayStation heroes that includes Crash Bandicoot, Kratos and many others. But it's going to take at least one more adventure, and a damned good one at that, before many gamers look back on The Order: 1886 with any sort of fondness.

The Order: 1886 is a spectacular visual showcase, but its muddled narrative and gameplay make for a wasted opportunity.

Since the pros definitely outweigh the cons everyone should at some point experience one of the most impressive titles in recent memory

The Order: 1886 is an incredible tech demo for the PlayStation 4 and, like Ryse: Son of Rome on Xbox One, will likely be one of the best-looking games on the system for quite a while. It stands tall and should be commended for that. The flat characters, paint by numbers story, and strictly workable mechanics, though, keep the game from being anything more than just a technical demo of the engine Ready at Dawn has created.

The end result is something good, with zero glitches, texture pops, or mechanical problems with gameplay, but nothing about it is great.

With The Order: 1886, Ready at Dawn has created a compelling world, and one I'd be happy to return to if there ever were a sequel, but failed to populate it with an interesting story or engaging gameplay.

Regardless of quantity concerns (which is a valid complaint), where The Order more crucially falls apart is in regards to quality. It does not matter if a game is one or one hundred hours long, you need to enjoy playing it, and The Order fails at that most crucial of tasks. This is unforgivable, and instantly makes it impossible to recommend.

A brilliant example of how games should look on the next generation; crisp and elegant. The Order is a succinct but enjoyable experience that deserves to be considered a stellar entry into Sony's PS4 exclusive catalogue.

It is an unfortunate irony that a game offering a glimpse into the future of video game graphics should be so hamstrung by its limited, conventional gameplay. This is one anachronism too many — even for a steampunk game.

The Order: 1886 delivers a beautifully realized and delivered science fiction story that everyone should experience. Sadly, it provides no reason to ever go back after the credits roll.

The Order: 1886 is an example of dying linearity. The worst part is that this style of gaming is dying, not because it's inferior, but because there are those who want us to believe it's inferior. It's just different.

A decent concept, that has been marketed and presented totally wrong.

Despite being set one hundred years in the past, maybe what The Order: 1886 is actually doing is showing us our gaming future.

The Order: 1886 is a remarkable achievement. The team at Ready at Dawn should be applauded and given the chance to bring their complete vision to life in its entirety. Breathtaking visuals, top notch performances and industry leading motion capture animate a great story to create a very special and unique gaming experience.

Great visuals alone do not a great game make - and there's unfortunately very little in The Order: 1886 to elevate it beyond being a pretty, but shallow and insipid shooter. It commits the one sin no interactive entertainment should: it's painfully boring.
