All my friends who played it also say its a very good story. I wonder why such a huge disparity between reviews and actual gamer impressions? I am trying to find a cheaper copy to see for myself.So... The story is good? 0_0 anybody also playing this and like the story presented?
I'm still on the fence >_<
Verdict
Simple and entertaining is how we’d best summarize our experience with The Order 1886. It’s bound to disappoint those hyping the game's release but it’s hard to ignore its issues. It’s an aesthetically stunning game that also falls flat thanks to a dearth of content and lack of boldness. By focusing on such a cinematic presentation it feels as if the gameplay often takes a back seat as the game progresses. Had the experience lasted a bit longer perhaps this cinematic approach to design wouldn’t have left such an impression but with so few actual gameplay sequences and little re-playability it does leave us with a sour taste. Yet, despite its flaws and brief run time, we still really enjoyed our time with the game and regretted the sudden onset of the ending. In that sense it almost feels like an extended prologue to a series that may hopefully return for a beefier outing. Hopefully RAD is able to find a better balance between Hollywood and gameplay in the future. For the time being, we'd like to finish with a little cry from the heart: much ado about nothing?
On the up side
+ Visually sublime
+ Endearing, charistmatic characters
+ A tightly controlled narrative
+ Interesting universe
+ Immersive atmosphere
+ Aiming feels just right with a DS4
+ The promise of a sequel
On the down side
- Too short
- Some usability issues
- Little to no replay value
- Lacking challenge – even in hard mode
- Some predictable twists
- The mechanics play it really safe
- Soul Reaver kind of abrupt ending

Cool!Just platinumed it.
Story is quite good, although ending is bit abrupt.
Any comparative thoughts from Dishonored fans?
Why is there no such deal for us on PS+ ???!?!?Hurrah! Sony released the order digital with the cheaper price.

digital 50 USD or 45 USD with ps+.

Of those who have played TO, are you interested in keeping it for prosperity/to replay, or are you thinking of selling it?
