Pro The combat is fast, varied, and very fun
Fighting in The Order: 1886 is pretty great. You have access to a large array of weapons, technology, and even magic to blast your enemies away with.
It plays like a third-person shooter, so expect to have to do a lot of aiming - unless your gun is big enough. You get thrown into combat against humans, werewolves, and other nasty creatures. You've got to change up your tactics depending on what you're facing, and that variety really enhances the enjoyment you get out of the game.
Pro Uses Dualshock 4's features really well
The controls in Tearaway are really innovative and feel natural. The combination of movement based controls and using the inputs actually on the controller give the game a whole new level of immersion. You are also able to do things such as use your touch pad to use different special moves, or use the light bar as an in-game torch, which makes it a lot of fun.

Con No multiplayer at all
The developers went for a cinematic single-player experience, meaning there's no local or online co-op/multiplayer. The only way you can enjoy this game with your friends is by taking turns playing.
