    Literally no game has ever looked this good. It’s strange to even write that, but The Order: 1886 raises the bar so far above its contemporaries that it stands in a class by itself. Joined by a soundtrack that perfects the mood, The Order is a cinematic masterpiece.

    You can fault this game for a number of things, as I’ve done here, but you can’t criticize because you haven’t the inclination to appreciate the product for what it is.

    The visuals are marvelous and the game has the potential to grow as a franchise but several flaws and its basic gameplay keep it from becoming a masterpiece.

    The Order: 1886 is a pretty good game, nothing else. Almost every part can be criticized: the story flows nicely but is extremely predictable, the fights are good, but only the ones with people in them (lycan fights are boring), graphics are gorgeous, but the world feels empty. Sir Galahad's adventure is yet another bit of proof that beauty isn't enough. You should see The Order in motion but do so only after some significant discounts.

    What I have a problem with is inconsistent narratives, and "gameplay" that has been so compartmentalised from the "story" that they may as well be in different products.

    There are brief moments throughout The Order: 1886 when it’s clearly striving for excellence, which only makes the end result more tragic. It’s easy to toss aside a game that looks bad or is full of bugs, but The Order feels like it should be a good game.

    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.

    An engaging, unique and thoroughly exciting thriller.

    The Order 1886 has been copping a lot flack by reviews, I would like to pint out a few things to help YOU decide if this is a game for you...

    If you prefer constant action, gameplay and the bullets flying (and that is totally cool btw) then you need not keep reading, go play Call of Duty or Gears of war.

    However if you enjoyed games like Heavy Rain, The Walking Dead and Life is Strange but also love a bit of third person action then this a game you will want to check out.

    ready at dawn have created a wholly unique piece of gaming art, it is completely story driven- with a lot of QTE's splashed around that don't feel lazy- they help progress the story, as this is exactly what the game has set out to be- a long, cinematic period movie.

    The story itself is full of mystery, intrigue and lore with amazing characters who you come to truly care about by the end of the game.

    The graphics are stunning, almost life-like in parts but it is the atmosphere and progression, just like a film that really got me engaged.

    I see The Order: 1886 being seen as a 'fail' by mainstream audiences, however I also see this as a cult classic for the niche market of gamers who enjoy a great tale of history and revenge.

    I am giving a perfect 10 because for what it is, that is exactly what the game deserves. It is epic beyond words.

    Again, I can not stress enough if you are looking for an action title, best save your $$.
    But if you are willing to try something new, have an open mind and are not bogged down by the pretty unfair negative press you will be pleasantly surprised by what i would call a masterpiece of cinematic gaming.    … Expand

    Amazing graphics, the story have the quality of a great movie, characters full of life, facial expression outstanding! it is a journey worth the money. And ends great of glory with a long road ahead. I hope Ready at Dawn and Santa Monica studios continue making this kind of games, a lot of efforts is evidently and attention to every detail.

    This game puts you under the skin of Sir Galahad.    … Expand

If the complaint is that the game is too short it means it is good and you want more of it. If you like video games in general the latter should be an issue.

    I found the game to be very entertaining. The action is along the lines of gears of war, while the graphics and presentation are unmatched. If you are a fan of the cover/shoot mechanic and like cinematic focused games this will fit right in your sweet spot.    … Expand

    Fantastic underrated single player game. Gameplay is very similar to Uncharted (which is not a bad by any means) however the best thing I canFantastic underrated single player game. Gameplay is very similar to Uncharted (which is not a bad by any means) however the best thing I can say about this game is it's presentation. This game is absolutely gorgeous. It's a treat play and look at and is even more stunning to discover the game is made in 2015. The steampunk/gothic aesthetic really gels well for the period it's based in which, for me at least, enchaces the immersion of the story. Truly an unappreciated game that was mainly buried due to its short campaign. Ending is a bit anticlimactic but definitely would recommend.… Expand

The game is short: probably about 7-8 hours and it has very good graphics, and cinematics. Gameplay is good, with different kinds of weapons. Voices in Spanish are good. I feel this game should have last at least 2 more hours to give it a proper ending and get deeper into the story. If the ending had been less opened I would have give it a 7'5. It deserves a sequel.… Expand
