The Order: 1886

This game isn't bad like many would have you think. Actually, the sole reason I bought it was to see if all the naysayers were right.

They weren't.

The game is visually gorgeous, set in a beautifully crafted industrial / steampunkish London with a set of interesting characters, superb voice acting and an arsenal of interesting weapons. Some characters could definitely use more character development, or more screen time, but that's nothing to mope about.

People often complained about the shortness of this game, and the lack of action. While it is true that the game is a bit short, the lack of action is 100% not true. I just played through the the game and witnessed with my own eyes how action packed it actually is. Honestly, the calm moments where people would just talk and sort things out were sometimes over far too quickly for my taste, so I find THOSE moments lacking, not the action.

Other minor issues I had with it is the lack of lycan / half breed encounters. I hoped to see them more.

In short, don't listen to the negative criticism (especially when they give a 4/10 or lower rating score) and certainly give this game a try. It's interesting, and sets the stage for a possible sequel, which I hope we'll all get to see.
