An admittedly interesting alternative history London and some fun weapons that are criminally underutilised aren’t enough to save The Order from mediocrity. Like as far as cover-based shooting goes this is serviceable but the few times it deviates from mowing down endless hordes of the British (which isn’t very often) to quicktime-based stealth and werewolf encounters it just doesn’t work. I can appreciate the presentation and the efforts to emulate film but at the same time the story being told here doesn’t feel very cinematic, and more like an unfinished first season of a BBC television show that got canned.
