Much has already been made of The Order's running time - I clocked it in around 7 hours - though, regardless of the length, corners have clearly been cut and there's heavy padding. The locations, while dazzling, feel stunted: you bounce between Whitechapel and Mayfair, with backdrops often repeating and a lack of authentic landmarks that would help sell this vision of London (Hawksmoor fans will walk away empty-handed and disappointed). More damningly, entire set-pieces are echoed verbatim. An encounter against a small mob of lycans loops three times throughout the course of the campaign, while one QTE-fuelled fight midway through the game returns again at the end to make a limp climax.
