Indiana Jones | First Previews are up

I'm playing Hellblade 2 right now. The game still has its moments of visual appeal, and it's still fun to listen to the little stories from the hidden stones.

However, I'm feeling like they didn't quite do enough to distinguish it from the first game. Also, given the narrative conclusiveness of the first, the second game's story does not feel quite as compelling.

May have more to say when the credits roll

Isn't that game all the criticism that "the order 1886" got but way worse?

I haven't played The Order 1886, so I'm less familiar with any criticisms which may have been raised against it.

@DarkLordOtaku the internet never forgets.

It's a technical showpiece, a graphical powerhouse that, in some ways, is almost without equal. It's also a short and disappointingly straightforward cover-based shooter that offers little to no variety in its encounter design, a lackluster story that fails to make good on its initially compelling premise, and a set of jarring Quick Time Event setpieces that aren't especially interesting from a gameplay or a storytelling perspective.

The Order: 1886 Review

The Order: 1886 is a terrible game. Not because it’s broken or made without skill. Certainly not because it’s an average-length, story-driven shooter with minimal replay value. It’s just a bad game, forgettable in every conceivable way and safely ignored by all but the most ardent Trophy hunters.

What the hell is going on in The Order: 1886? The game gives good screenshot and little else; it's gorgeous to look at, but completely lacking in any sense of creativity or fun.

Another underrated game. Loved it. Need a sequel.

Give us third person mode

“More adventure than action” is probably going to cause me to skip the game.

I love first person shooters but this ain’t a shooter. Should have been third person.

Interesting! If I ever play it, I'll be sure to share my thoughts, and whether or not they align with some of the observations laid out in this review!

This game will be a hard pass for me. 1st person, gunplay is a last resort. Nah, I'm good.

If you were to troll, how might you approach such an endeavor?

Hmmmm, honestly, I have no idea. I don't really see the point or purpose in trolling.

It's been 10 years since I played it. It was a memorable experience and left me wanting even more. I would want more of the same in a sequel, just longer. No need to mess with the formula.
