    So glad I ignored the negative reviews on this one. A stunning bit of work. Amazing graphics, the transitions from game-play to cut scenes and back were great. Great story, and equally great character acting. I can see why it could be a divisive game, it was heavily cut scene and qte over game-play, but I went in viewing it as an interactive movie/tv show and was not disappointed.

    What a phenomenal game! Top notch graphics, shooting, weapon variety, writing, story, characters, pacing, and vision! I'm only going to dock it one point for being too short. 3-4 more hours would have made the experience perfect. It's easy to see the Naughty Dog influence in this body of work, and sadly most people will never experience it. Because, you know, critics. We need a sequel!

    Un jeu exceptionnel, je viens de le faire en 2023(hé oui il était temps)

    Une très grosse narration, avec une histoire que l'on a envie de suivre de bout en bout.

    Un univers intriguant, je ne comprends vraiment pas les mauvaises notes sur ce jeu.

    Son côté jeu-film a dû déplaire a certains visiblement, il faut être assez mature pour le comprendre.

    The game needs a sequel. One of very few games to take you into the Victorian era Steampunk London!

    Pese a que es un producto que se veía con cierta asiduidad en los estantes de segunda mano del ‘Game’ a precio de derribo, nunca me decidí a jugarlo debido a las malas críticas que tiene.

Que si es corto, que si es una demo técnica, que si blah blah blah, que si vaya truño y bah. Después de que Ryse: Son of Rome, un juego con unas críticas similares, me gustara bastante, me decidí a comprarlo y a jugarlo, y no me ha decepcionado en absoluto.

    The Order es un juego cinemático. Es una película con una historia y un guión a la altura de producciones de Hollywood. A la altura? Que va, muy superior a verdaderos truños que te ponen en el cine al precio que me ha costado este juego. Jugablemente es un shooter en 3ª persona con coberturas, al estilo de ‘Gears of War’ o ‘Uncharted’, combates por oleadas alternando el uso de diversas armas, con disparos principal y secundario, situaciones que se resuelven con QTE’s y una discreta exploración para encontrar coleccionables sin mucho peso en la trama, estas son sus características jugables. En el aspecto técnico es un juego impecable que, efectivamente, muestra el músculo de Ps4 en su ya lejana salida. Con unos gráficos y un nivel de detalle del Londres de la revolución industrial impresionantes para los años que lleva encima.

    En cuanto a la historia es lo mejor del título. La recompensa del título es precisamente seguirla. Una peli para un fin de semana que no os va a decepcionar. Recomendado. El juego dura de 6 a 8 horas. A mi me ha durado 8, jugando tranquilo y parándome a encontrar coleccionables con bastante éxito.    … Expand

    I had a blast playing this game! Great story, superb voice acting, and amazing graphics. Very strong third-person combat. This one is definitely more of a interactive movie with more developed combat than most in the genre.

    It has been 7 years since the Order 1886 was released on the eve of the PS4 Launch. It wasted and unique opportunity as the new generation of games was yet to arrive at the new platform, everyone who got a PS4 was eager to try every PlayStation-exclusive AAA game they could get their hands on.

It wasted and unique opportunity as the new generation of games was yet to arrive at the new platform, everyone who got a PS4 was eager to try every PlayStation-exclusive AAA game they could get their hands on. That was a once-in-a-lifetime window that ready at dawn could not capitalize.

    At that time, we were used to PS4 games running at 30FPS, but we were OK to consider it next gen as long as it was in 1080p. But since the devs could not get the game to run stable at 1080/30FPS they had to come up with this crazy [original] idea about those black bars giving the game that "cinematic feel".

    Those black bars were a red flag for me. I was interested in the game concept, but when negative reviews started to arrive, I realized that the black bars were not the only red flag, the shooting and controls were clunky and bad for the majority of gamers, and the combination of up-close camera with black bars made for some difficult to manage 3rd person encounters in which the only thing you see is your characters back.

    In the following 7 years, I've grown fond of PS exclusives and started to give some forgotten games a shot. Been waiting for a next-gen patch for the order 1886 for 2 years now, and it has become evident that Sony has long buried this mistake and wants nothing to do with it. So, I've tried to install a nonofficial patch from illusion that removes the black bars but lowers resolution to 720p (figured that's a nice tradeoff for me) but only works with a 3rd party app that is not supported on PS5. Finally, there was no way to play the game but its original state :/

    While playing The order 1886 I was really surprised with the overall graphics quality, and the storytelling mechanics implemented are awesome! You can tell they took a page from naughty dog in the way they transitioned the lore from cinematic into gameplay and combat dialogue for a remarkable experience. I remember feeling "this game is NOT for everyone" while watching the long cinematics and taking the guided tour through the gothic city corridors. I really enjoyed the way the game takes its time to build the world around you, the characters, and their own arcs, it's all top-tier work. But many gamers might find that approach boring.

    After completing the game, I gave it a 2nd run and felt positive about the experience. That's why I'm giving it an 8. Despite its shortcomings and mistakes, The order 1886 was a great experience and fun game to play.    … Expand

    No coincido con la mayoría porque para mí fue un auténtico juegazo. El apartado artístico y visual me alucinó para ser en una PS4, aunque el juego no sea muy largo la historia me parece entretenida y la jugabilidad está muy bien.

    Don't tell what others say to you, the graphics aren't the only good stuff here. The theme, the atmosphere, the clashes with the werewolves are very good. Unique game, a little bit underrated.

    I like the game, the visuals are amazing but, the firsts chapters are too much cinematic and gameplay is poor, the best of the game comes until the final chapters when action take importance. I hope this game will have a sequel because the story have potential.

Truly an unappreciated game that was mainly buried due to its short campaign. Ending is a bit anticlimactic but definitely would recommend.… Expand

    I will start off by saying unfortunately a lot of what you may have read is in fact accurate.

    While The Order: 1886 is a graphical masterpiece it has far more in common with titles released by TellTale Games than it does third person shooters like Gears of War. In it's brisk 5-7 hour run time (largely depending on player skill and the want/need to find the collectibles). The game… Expand

The graphics still look great all these years later. I only wish it was just a little bit longer and we got to see another side to some of these characters but the struggle of faith was good enough.

    Wildly underrated. It’s well worth it’s current price, and if you’re going expected a game with a heavy narrative focus, there’s so much here. It’s utterly gorgeous, gameplay is tight, dialogue well written, plot engaging, likeable characters. It deserve a second chance.

    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.
