I've been playing the Fate/Grand Order mobile game for almost a year now*, and I honestly enjoy it a lot. I've had my eye on this anime since I started getting into the Fate series about a year and a half ago*, and just today* I decided to watch it.
Fate/Grand Order: First Order is based entirely off of the first story section in the game: Singularity F ("World 1", if you will). The anime started off promising, but then it started to feel rushed, and then there were some plot holes, and then it ended on a cliffhanger that was basically telling you, "Wanna know what happens next? Get the game."
In the end, this entire anime just felt like an advertisement promoting the Fate/Grand Order mobile game. (And this is the part where I start promoting the game) I'm just going to tell you right now, the mobile game is much, MUCH better than this in terms of both story & enjoyment. So, as the title of this review suggests, if you want Fate/Grand Order at it's full potential, just play the game.
Final score: 4.7/10
* as of when I wrote this review
