Story

167 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While Old Blood had some hypnotic gunplay and virtually no loading screens, as well as a more seamless story pacing, all of these things are almost bad when compared to its father, The New Order.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Complete with gimmick weapons and mechanics that are still, to this day, incredible cool to witness.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A game that is renowned for its gunplay, throw back to older shooters but with modern appeal and quality, as well as an incredibly strong artistic identity, one of Mick Gordon's best soundtracks, compounded further with one of the best narratives in shooting games.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I couldn't be more happier with the experience I had with this FPS overall.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The use of lighting and shadows enhances the grim atmosphere, and character models convey emotion effectively during cutscenes.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also highly recommend saving the UBER difficulty achievement for your final playthrough.
