    The Order 1886 is most noticeably a beautiful game. From the vast skylines of Victorian London to the detail on every brick. It looks very "next gen" but plays like a PS3 game. Not to say it's bad just very generic.

It is an cut scene heavy game, which I am a fan of. The story to good (not great), but is helped by the amazing atmosphere and the lived in look of the city. Also the historical character and references are a great edition, if you're familiar with the time period. I'd definitely give it a play through just to experience the world.
    Hopefully the iron out some of the game play issues in the next installment.    … Expand

    The Order is a good game. Its fun and absolutely beautiful graphically. The story and setting had me intrigue the whole way through. The shooting and other game-play mechanics feel good. It's not perfect but definitely a wonderful game and undeserving of all the hate that built towards it before it was even released.

    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    An engaging, unique and thoroughly exciting thriller.

    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

    The details in this game are impressive, the fact that every characters and objects are fully detailed and different is worth a lot. I prefer having a shorter campaign like this than a long one with copy pasted assets and repetitive events. I don't get the comments saying the cinematic-genre, QTE and linearity is bad. It's in my opinion the best type of game and I want more like this.

The game looks stunning, combat may be straightforward but at least it's solid and it feels like the media and people/haters who (obviously) haven't played the game are exaggerating everything about the game. Apparently criticasters were expecting a true innovative gameplay experience where the developer never promised any. Yes there are a few QTE battles in there but not as much as people like others to believe. And the next complaint many people have is the overall +/- 7 hour playthrough. It does sound short, but it's about 7 hours of pure quality, story-driven immersion. Compared to certain other titles such as Dragon Age: Inquisition and Shadow Of Mordor which supposedly offer a much longer playthrough experience this doesn't sound like much, but in either of those games (and many others) 95% of the game is completely made up of filler quests and objectives just to reach a certain level to reach your end-game, overall the true valuable gameplay combined those campaigns offer much less hours.
    I can't wait for a sequel, and I will gladly drop another 60 euro's for this excellent IP.    … Expand

Though i'm a hardcore gamer i spent more than 10 hours to reach the end on the game without retrying the segments but i explored the beauties around me and searched for the collectibles (which i didn't find totally and in each category). So for a first game Ready at dawn signed an awesome performance and i really wish the Order will come back in the future but this time with some of the Fans complaints resolved (though i don't care about multiplayer, it would have been sweet to have one here, the game that lasts longer, a better replay value starting with the trophies depending on the difficulty etc...) but the experience was great and i don't regret my 60€ spent to live it but i would have loved to see more because it was good.… Expand

    Do not miss this experience. The setting of a steampunk London steals the show, nicely coupled with a very satisfying gameplay fueled by ultra violence. Negative reviews simply do not get the point of this type of game and genre. I wish there were MORE games exactly like The Order 1886.

But the gameplay is not near as bad as all these critics with unrealistic expectations want you to believe. I am a huge Uncharted fan one of the greatest reviewed series on any Playstation console. I will tell you that the gunplay here is much tighter, headshots which I struggle with in Uncharted are much easier to accomplish in The Order. Sure the Uncharted series has a much more open structure and great exploration. But this game is striving for a truly cinematic experience. To me the results are jaw-dropping. The atmosphere and sound design are the best I've seen since The Last of Us. The production values are probably the likes of which we won't see until the new Uncharted. Ready at Dawn just might be the next Naughty Dog. They have learned to push the hardware to heights that other develops can't come close to. Sure the game is short and linear. But I would rather have 8 hours of perfection then 100 hours of open world average gameplay where most of the stuff is just there to pad the length. The Order is a breath of fresh air in a world where develops concentrate on huge amounts of content instead of perfecting what is there. What's here in The Order is beautiful, exciting and executed to near perfection. If you have been waiting for a game to show your friends what your PS4 is capable of this is finally the game. Do I truly believe that this is a perfect 10, I don't. But it is much better then it is being given credit for. If this is the direction the new gen of gaming is going I'm all in. I just pray that the negative reviews don't prevent Ready at Dawns' masterpiece from reaching the audience it deserves. Because I really want a sequel to explore this incredible world they have created further.… Expand

Everything will be bigger and better in the next installment. I hope there is The Order 1887 in the horizon, despite some petty people trying to ruin everything.

    Graphics are great, setpieces engaging, the setting marvellous. QTE`s are a bit on the heavy side and the story and it`s conclusion somewhat lacking. And the game could be unboubtedly a little longer. Other than that, it`s all good.    … Expand

I'll point out initially that I haven't yet completed the game so these are just my impression of the first few hours of game play (I'm on Chapter 5 out of what I believe are 16 so about a third of the way through the game) which I hope will help people undecided about whether to buy it. The main criticisms coming out of the press are aimed at the game play (or lack thereof) and also the story. In my opinion there are some grounds to gripe with the game play but certainly not the story. The order is a cover shooter and really wants you to know it, in fact aside from Heavy Rain style QTEs (think press X to Jason) and a lot of walking that's pretty much all the game play you will be doing . There's absolutely nothing wrong with the cover shooting system, it works very well and for the most part is pretty enjoyable, but the thing that other successful cover shooters on PlayStation achieve is to have some additional elements to the game play. Uncharted throws in the odd bit of driving along with plenty of platforming and puzzle solving, Vanquish had a suit with crazy abilities to add some melee combat in, and games like Sleeping Dogs and GTA V have an open expansive world to explore with plenty of side activities. I'm not saying that The Order needs all or any of these elements but it certainly would benefit from the odd change up in a while, hell even a levelling system would spice things up. On the subject of the story, I haven't found any reason to find fault so far, in fact I'm fairly gripped both by the topic and the performances. I'm genuinely interested to find out how everything unravels! The final thing I will mention is the graphics. I'm sure PC gamers will point out that high end PC's have been sporting these kind of graphics for ages blah blah blah, but for console gaming it really is a wonder to behold. Be it a reflection in a window, a cloud of smoke from an explosion or just the glow of a lamp in the dark, the sheer impressiveness of the visuals is there for all to see!

    Whether or not you should buy The Order boils down to a few things, if you aren't strapped for cash and enjoy a decent bit of story driven gaming then definitely check it out. If you are interested in experiencing the graphics and story but are unsure about the game play and the cost, then wait to get a pre-owned copy (there is unlikely to be any worthwhile DLC to miss out on). Finally if your games collection consists of only FIFA and/or CoD/Battlefield then give it a miss, you wont enjoy it and will probably spend the next month slagging it off on message boards!

    I hope this has been useful for anyone on the fence about whether to pick up The Order: 1886 this weekend.    … Expand

The gameplay is intense and the gunplay is really fun. Yes, there are a lot of cut-scenes and QTEs, but it's a cinematic game. I expected the game to be like this, the developers said it many times that the game will be like this. So if you like cinematic games and don't minde QTEs, you should buy this game. There are some interesting new QTEs too when you need to choose what "weapon" to use.
    The whole game is working very well, but ofcourse there are some negative things too, like when you can explore, there are a lot of places you can go in, like rooms and stuff, but in these rooms there is nothing. You can go in, but nothing is there. It would be good if we could find some interesting stuff there. But that's all what I don't like.
    What I can't understand what the reviewers expected from the game? Because if someone followed the game from the announcment to the release that person must have known what the game will be like. I mean gameplay wise. If you expected a sandbox game with only gameplay, you did something wrong. If you expected a cinematic expereince with lot of cut-scenes and QTEs, than you will like this game a lot.
    So if you are the kind of person who like that stuff, buy it. No matter what other people says. If you want only gameplay and not, basically an interactive movie, than don't go even near to it. I wanted a game like this, so I love it's every aspect. I don't really care what other people say. The game is amazing for me, and I hope if there will be a sequel in the future, it will be the same. I don't want to see an amazing game's sequel like this to be ruined by people who don't know what they want to play... If you want to play a basketball game, don't buy FIFA. If you don't want to play an interactive movie game with TPS elements, don't buy The Order 1886!    … Expand

    This is a new concept in video games, merging a PS4 tech showcase , with a good story, immerse situations and impressive graphics. Gameplay wise is a Gear of Wars clone, with the problem it seems to be less videogame and more movie based.

    QTEs are not a lot like people said a lot. The good thing is most QTEs are fun and looks pretty awesome, so it doesnt affect the overall experience.

    Overall this is a good game if you like new stuff, just because its not a normal game like everything else out there. This is a new concept for the industry and some people may like it and some others may hate it. Thats the truth about a game that kinda changes the normal videogame concept.

    Some people like changes, others fears from it. This is why a lot of people gave it really bad reviews and some others not.

    The game is interesting and it does meet to attract the player attention. You must play this game for what it is. When you realize you must do that, you will enjoy it a lot. Otherwise you will just miss the entire idea from the developers and just hate it.

    For all this i give this game a 9 , because its not a masterpiece in this "new concept" but it does succeed because is something new and well done.    … Expand

    Third-Person Shooter

    Was it fun?

    Yes, the gameplay was simple but worked well, graphically it was spectacular to look at and the story was interesting enough to keep you engaged.

    Are there any similar games?

    Its a standard third-person shooter but nothing really comes to mind.

    What did you think of the story?

    The story itself is historical fiction and revolves around a secret historical order.

    Favorite Character?

    I was actually a little too excited that Marquis de Lafayette. He was a Frenchman who came over and helped the United States in the Revolutionary War. For all he did, he’s very underappreciated and I thought it was really cool.

    Would you play it again?

    No, probably not but if they do make a sequel. I will certainly play it.

    Any Complaints?

    Its short, too short.

    Gameplay: Gunplay is very similar to that of The Last Of us. Cover system is not the best but it's satisfactory. There were both boring and cool QTEs in the game. My only issue is with the collectibles, especially the audio logs. They can't be played in-game like in Dead Space or Alien Isolation. Although the game's length doesn't exactly scream $60, it certainly is worth playing twice (Like a good movie on bluray). And the A.I (not many people noticed this) was very good and rather challenging in many cases. Sad there is no new game plus mode or an unlockable higher difficulty.
    Story: Although the plot is not the best, it certainly is very interesting. I loved the Victorian setting with the steam punk twist to it and the inclusion of historical figures (Nikola Tesla, Rani Of Jhansi etc) from that time.
    Voice acting: Couldn't be any better. Every character's performance was excellent. I'd say the best is the actress who played Isi.    … Expand

    It's interesting how pricing can affect how a game is reviewed. Back when this game was first released, the biggest complaint was that it was not worth the full price tag of $60.

    The Order 1886 has had a very harsh reception both from critics and actual gamers all of whom are upset because they all had something else in mind.

I can't say its been the most enjoyable game of my life or even the best game I've played on theThe Order 1886 has had a very harsh reception both from critics and actual gamers all of whom are upset because they all had something else in mind. I myself did expect it to be different but once I heard that it was more of a cinematic/ action rather than straight action I readjusted myself. I can't say its been the most enjoyable game of my life or even the best game I've played on the Playstation 4 but I can say I believe its a masterpiece in its own way and succeeded in doing exactly what the developers wanted.

    Well lets get the obvious fact out of the way. This game is the best looking game ever put on a console. A lot of games really beef up the graphics for the cutscenes and then scale back for the gameplay, you wont find that here. This game looks the exact same both in cutscenes and gameplay. That alone really just makes this game a very unique treat. So many critics even before the game came out were bashing its use of familiar cover based shooter mechanics. Im not sure why however, in my opinion just because Gears of War made cover based shooters more popular doesnt mean other games cant use it. The formula works and was entertaining in those games and yet almost the same combat style here is being criticized. The Last Of Us also employs that same cover based shooting system and that game won Game Of The Year. This game uses it and is labeled as boring gameplay. I had a blast with Gears of War and The Last of Us and I had a blast with the action in this game as well.

    I found the characters to all be quite interesting and the story was well rounded and kept me interested as well. Galahad is a very fun character and I enjoyed getting to see this man fight his way through the twists and turns the story takes. He might not have the personality of Commander Shepard but he is easily one of my favorite characters in a video game. The game truly does feel like a movie from beginning to end. There's intriguing dialogue, likable and not so likable characters and to top it off the game has FANTASTIC score. I will say I expected a little bit more use of the Lycans which is one of the things that first intrigued me when the trailer first came out but Im not gonna get pouty about it.

    Another big complaint people have for some reason is the use of QTE's . This is a very common complaint in a lot of games and I dont understand whats so bad so I wont go into it too much suffice to say this game has them. To me they offer a fun alternative to the usual pointing and shooting but for some reason the use of them in games is like a guaranteed way to get people's feeling hurt. Pay attention and you might have to retry some scenes a few time but its all part of the challenge. The game is short but feels complete regardless and didnt feel short to me. i finished in about 8 hours on normal when it ended I was wanting more. Anyways Im not very good at writing these but play the game for yourself and make up your own mind, dont let Amazon's very unreliable review scores or critics scores sway you. We all have our own opinions so play it and make your own.    … Expand

SUMMARY: I don't understand some of the other reviews on this game, so I feel obligated to post my experience. -- It took me ~12 hours to beat the game on hard, but I did a lot of exploration and sight seeing. There were more cut-scenes than I expected, but they never felt intrusive. The story and characters were very compelling and cut scenes never interrupted me in the middle of the action.

    The shooting and cover gameplay handles masterfully, but I think there could have been more of it per fight. (It may be hard to justify waves of hundreds of enemies in a realistic game, so I can see why they might have restricted a fight to 40 people.) However, I have to deduct a point of the implementation of stealth. There was no mechanics to help you navigate or stay hidden like in The Last of Us. It felt like believable stealth, but wasn't as engaging to play. This game is pretty linear, but it never once felt claustrophobic.

    Graphics usually aren't one of my biggest concerns, but this wouldn't be a complete review if I didn't mention the stellar attention to detail. Absolutely nothing in the game breaks the immersion of the rich atmosphere, and I couldn't help but gawk at some of the scenes. Originally I was concerned about the black bars to frame a wider field of view, but I forgot they were there within a minute of starting.

I would easily recommend this game to any of my friends who are story driven gamers. A lot of complaints have been about length of game play, very short action sequences and a generally boring story. This is not the case.

    This game is one hell of a ride. The gunplay feels great, the atmosphere is superb, the story is interesting, I liked the characters and graphics are outstanding. It took me about 11 hours to beat so I`m fine with it. It has some flaws concerning gameplay but there are no real dealbreakers.

    I like movies and I enjoyed the **** out of this game. The plot itself was great and it had some interesting twists that cought me off guard but what hooked me was the characters and the way they're voiced - it really brought them to life along with the best lip/mustache animations I have ever seen (up there with L.A. Noir).

    As to the gameplay - it just plays really good. I know that the game is really cutscene-heavy but the firefights in it are really solid and challenging on a harder difficulty. The cover system is just like any other and it feels super fluid. There is a variety of guns 4 pistols, 2 assault rifles, 2 shotguns, grenade launcher, arc gun (electrical gun that splits people), and a gun that sprays fuel or powder on the bad guys and then lights them on fire... I've never seen a gun that requires you to use fire and alt-fire for it to work, cool stuff and all of those guns feel different and satisfying. Did I mention the sound effects... I'd imagine it would hurt if I was shot with that 3-barrel shotgun, the guns really pack a punch.

    I don't know what people were expecting but the game was advertised to be very cinematic, with heavy narrative and focus on characters. And in the end that's exactly what it was and a very good one at that.

    I respect Ready at Dawn for taking the risk of creating a game that doesn't cater to everyone.    … Expand

    A truly beautiful game set in a breathtakingly unique universe with an amazing story to tell.

A lot of reviews have severely reduced the games scores due to this very purpose for no other reason than to further stir the current controversy. Well, if you have even a shred of free will then you will know that a hell of a lot of "professional" review sites should rarely be trusted.

    The Order: 1886 is by no means a perfect game, at its core It's a pretty standard cover based third person shooter with the added bonus of some very unique weapons courtesy of the internets favourite genius, Mr. Nikola Tesla. It relies too heavily on quick time events instead of letting players really get into some of the up close action and yes, it is a little on the short side. I clocked in at around seven hours for my first play through on the hardest difficulty setting.

    That being said, the positive aspects of this game far outweigh those few faults. This is THE best looking console game I have ever seen, everything from the characters to the smallest leaf blowing in the wind has been created with the passion and love of a master artist. The main story and surrounding lore is gripping, tense and beautifully told by the games many and granted, often lengthy cut-scenes. Lastly how can I write this without mentioning the setting. A steam punk themes alternative history of Victorian London.... Simply superb.

    In short I would highly recommend people give this game a try and form their own opinion. It's not going to be for everyone but I believe The Order: 1886 is a much, much better experience than most have given it credit for.    … Expand

    A good, but not great mixed bag of a game.

    I'm a little more than half way through The Order and I'm pretty impressed so far. First off, the graphics are probably the best I've ever seen in a video game, the characters, the world itself, the lightning effects are stunning. The overall atmosphere is excellent as well, the combination of visuals, voice acting, sound effects, and just    A good, but not great mixed bag of a game.

The overall atmosphere is excellent as well, the combination of visuals, voice acting, sound effects, and just the overall environment make you feel like you're in London in 1886. The selection of weapons is great, the quicktime events adds to the game in a positive way, and the cut scenes aren't near as long as people make them out to be. I suspect that those of you who are **** and complaining about the quicktime events and the cut scenes have the attention span of a 5 year old and probably are use to playing mindless shooters like COD and Battlefront?!

    Speaking of shooters, that is a big part of this game and one of the few gripes I have. The shooting mechanics aren't the greatest, but they work for the most part, although the aim assist feature is a little useless, as I would think you would be to lock onto your enemy. Other gripes I have about the game are the waves of generic enemies you have to shoot through, the lack of half-breeds/werewolves you get to fight, the lack of interactivity you have with your surroundings (kind of a look but don't touch game), and the fact you can't run or draw your weapon whenever you want (you can only do these when you're about to enter a fight scene). I wish there was more fight scenes with the half-breeds/werewolves, the few that there are, are truly crazy.

    The length of the game is something else that doesn't really bother me. I would rather play a solid 5-10 hour game than some 20+ hour game with filler and repetitive side missions. There's a lot of other games out there that take less than 10 hours to beat, I don't know why this game is getting so much flak for that? I'm sure there will be co-op and multiplayer coming in a DLC pack, hopefully for free?!

    This game isn't for everyone, if you're looking for a run and gun, mindless shooter, The Order isn't for you. If you're looking something a little different, something with stunning visuals and atmosphere, a solid selection of weapons, great sound and voice acting, a good story, and decent gameplay, The Order is worth your while.    … Expand

The controls feel natural and responsive. Most may scoff at the length of the game, but this is due the focus of the games story.

    The pacing is spot on even though some may say it is not correctly paced. The game is paced in this way to enhance the intensity of the action so each time it feel fresh and intense. The story is gripping and you actually care for the characters as the story allows the game to focus on a few key character. Most games flood you with an over abundance of source material, but you really don't need that to enjoy the story.

    I have not gripes about the games length. Most "long" games only achieve such length by making you grind, too many side quest, or a story that is so convoluted that at the end of the story you only really remember a small amount. I would like to point out the length of Final Fantasy 7. Without the grinding, side quest, the game has about 2 hours of actual storytelling.    … Expand

    There is a level of quality here that is far from the standard in today's games. It's a window in to the future and something every gamer should be extremely excited about.

    The Order is a story heavy game with quick time events and where you often just sit back and relax while watching the story unfold. But suddenly you are in the middle of a dramatic event and you have to help out by clicking buttons at the correct time. And often you take full control in deadly firefights where you obliterate enemy waves with weapons of pure destruction.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Начну с главного вопроса: 4 вечера, порядка 7 часов игры. И ни капли не расстроен продолжительностью - как раз самое оно! Игра не скатывается в рутину: перестрелок в меру, стелса в меру, и в меру беготни со схватками. Не понравилось другое - как игрока вводят во вселенную игры: какой-то орден, какие-то рыцари, какие-то эликсиры.. ребята я вообще где? что тут происходит? сидишь, догадываешься по ходу игры. Из технических недостатков - это чёрные полосы.. ну зачем они в игре то?! Здесь камеру выставляет игрок, а не кинооператор - вечно узко и создаёт дискомфорт при осмотре локаций. Концовка в духе "ждите ответа в следующей серии..".
    Однако, слушая музыку уже в титрах, чувства что меня надули не испытал: всё очень сбалансировано, сюжетно, сдержано и, главное, очень и очень качественно! Достойный современный продукт. Может остальные студии возьмут на заметку то, КАК надо делать сегодня игры, а не выбрасывать на прилавки полусырой билд, допиливаемый гигазаплатками.
    По сравнению с Heavy Rain - геймплей понравился куда больше. Что касается линейности действий, то Орден сильно напомнил игру Frank Herbert`s Dune (игру 2001г по мотивам мини-сериала Дюна Френка Герберта во вселенной Дюны): либо убьёшь так-то и там-то, либо убьют тебя и где угодно.. но там приходилось начинать с нуля после этого, а тут с контрольной точки. Оказуалились, однако =) Но и там и тут меня это вполне устраивает и обеим хорошие отзывы.

    Rant over, lets talk about the game:
    I finished this game in about 10 hours, but thats cuz i took time to read, look and explore the world.
    Now there is some exploring but mostly its linear and the game doesn't stray much off the path of the story. In fact sometime when i did the games partners would say "come over here" this way" all the time which was a little annoying.
    But when i did explore i did find more info about the games history and also found impressive sceneries so it was well worth it.
    The combat in this game is friggen amazing btw. It has the cover based mechanics over gears of war with the AI of Killzone wich means you cant stay hidden for to long as the enemies wil try to flank you and get to you. Speaking of enemies those friggen shotgunner specialist are a god damn pain and need to be taken out immediately if you see them. Its been quite sometimes when they would literally blow my head off.
    Now there is some cutscenes in this game and yes they cant be skipped, but why would you? The game looks fantastic and the actors performance are impeccable. And its a nice break from all the shooting.
    QTE are of course in the game but not so much as people are complaining. They are smart placed and it makes sense to have them in the areas and scenes you encounter them.
    Story is imo on of the best this generation and i really like the main protagins Sir Galahad.
    The victoria London city setting is beatuful and i wish to see more of this in the future.

    Overall this is game is fantastic and well worth the time. But is it worth you're money?
    Well since there is no mp inn this i would say its best to rent. But they may have some more DLC missions down the line but there has been no news on this so far soooo..

    But if you would like to have one of THE best looking games this generation and want to show off the capability of you're ps4 then this is defiantly a keeper. For everyone else i would say wait for a price drop or rent it.    … Expand

    This is a really good game, however its highly cinematic and basically like a movie you control. The graphics are amazing and consume you in the universe. The characters have good stories and I got an above average level of connection with them. Very well designed story and throughout stayed very consistent to the end. I think this was one of the best and most complete stories I have played since the Last of Us. With that being said it is somewhat short and that makes it a wee bit hard to choke up 60 bucks.    … Expand

    Visually it's everything you could have hoped for, but the compromises required to reach that fidelity, and moments of narcissism as a result of it, are hugely damaging. [Apr 2015, p.81]

    Although the storyline invokes weighty subjects like colonialization and socioeconomic inequality, it fails to address these topics in any substantive way. Ditto the game’s dialogue, which contains flourishes of eloquence that founder because, as pleasing as the words are to the ear, the actions they affect have no bite.
