    sadly because the game length is too short with not much variety brings it down.
    overall i like the game i enjoyed it probably not worth 60$ as i finished it in two sittings.

    gameplay consists of quick time events, shooting, stealth missions, jumping , pushing, unlocking doors.

    some parts of the game though it makes you think you are playing when you are really not playing you are just pushing buttons to proceed with the story.

    Pros:
    amazing graphics
    good gameplay features and weapons
    great voice acting and story

    Cons:
    game too short
    should have more variety more enemies more boss fights
    story should have been longer    … Expand

    Now the bad, a little to much cut scenes wich remove some of the suspence in the game and a horrible ending. Also i got all trophies except collectibles in my first playthrough. only have the 5 collectibles trophies left.

    The major gaming sites gave this game between 5-7 and i think anything below a7 is unfair.

    Pros: Graphics, Voiceacting, Story, Weapons, Characters.

    Cons: Horrible Ending, Cutscenes take away the suspence in the game.

    A game that's very engaging and fun, i love it!! Beautiful graphics and very ambient sound. It's a game were I don't feel like i'm doing things just to level up. While it's a very linear game, you feel like you are a part of the story, and that there are real stakes.

    This is intellignent game not for those who want to run and gun from A to B, like doom or quake. Consider you bought ticket to another parallel world. So enjoy it. Every single step is drawn with detail and graphics is amazing.

    READ THIS FOR THE TRUTH.

    The Order is getting a lot of flack from gamer the world over. Criticized for its shortness (not that short), it's sometimes unoriginal gameplay, and its lack of true game mechanics. Now I have beaten the game and while I cannot totally disagree I think everyone is a bit confused. Story (Good) -Great characters -Best graphics in existence. Better than    READ THIS FOR THE TRUTH.

    Story (Good)
    -Great characters
    -Best graphics in existence. Better than anything on any Super PC or gaming consol
    -Great setting
    -Great set up
    -Good writing
    -Amazing voice acting
    -Cutscenes are great and there is no difference between them and gameplay.

    Story (bad)
    -Setting can be bland through tried and boring gameplay
    -At the end plot points don’t die up- leading us to believe they are expecting to make a sequel
    -Sometimes cutscenese seem to go to long
    -Awful pacing. Game is divided into chapters and some chapters are these long involved missions that incorporate all the different elements of the game. Others are short cutscenes
    -The story can be depressing

    Gameplay (good)
    -Shooting is good. Not great but good
    -Fun guns and gadgets courtesy of Nicola Tesla
    -Battles with Lycans are fun and thrilling
    -The story complements the gameplay well- elevating the sometimes paint by numbers shooting
    -Setting serves to give a little variety to the shooting sequences
    -No difference in graphics from the cutscenes to the gameplay
    -QTEs are different than your standard “press Y to dodge”

    Gameplay (bad)
    -Game in general is short. My play through was about 10 hours end to end on hard mode
    -Not much variety in the shooting
    -The great arsenal is not at your disposal. The amount of time you can use these awesome weapons is far to short
    -When shooting humans expect the firefights to be a bit boring at times
    -QTEs can seem unnecessary
    -SO MUCH WALKING AROUND. And you can’t even log to speed things up

    When all is said and done it is a decent game! The promise was never an excellent 3rd person shooter. The promise was a filmatic experience and that promise is delivered. The gameplay is not the focus, the story is- and the story is good. While the story focuses on the characters instead of the world around it- it still serves it purpose as an entertaining, if short, filmatic experience.    … Expand

But all of the above aim at putting you inside Galahad's (the main protagonist) shoes. I really enjoyed the walking scenes, admiring the great atmosphere of the setting, and taking in all these simply magnificent graphics. You really must experience this if you own a PS4. Ignore all the bad rants about this game, this is not call of duty, or Gears of War, and it sure is not Heavy Rain, it has its own character. Actual shooting scenes are nice, I played it on hard difficulty and it gave me a good challenge. It took me more than 10 hours to complete, including my failures ofcourse, but I didn't find it short or lacking. It is simply stupid to judge a game by its length, especially when it is a linear story based game like this. Ofcourse there are negative aspects, like the boring lycan fights, but again, these didn't spoil the atmosphere or break the game for me.

    I really hope Ready at Dawn produce a sequel for this, and I really hope they keep the walking intact ! I like the game to be atmospheric, i love wandering and just drooling all over these beautiful graphics and taking in all the atmosphere, I really hope we will get the chance to experience it again.    … Expand

I found the technological spin on Victorian London in 1886 to be thet most interesting setting I've ever gotten the priveledge to explore in a video game. And without a doubt, it has the best graphics ever seen in a video game, it's obvious. The game looks like your playing a Blu Ray movie.

    Thankfully the story was just as good as the setting, and it had very memorable characters. I especially liked the main character and the 2 most prominent female characters. The acting is spot on and you just keep wanting more.

    Obviously the gameplay is some peoples primary concern, and I had concerns as well but let me tell you what I was most blown away by IMO......

    The third person cover shooter gunplay in this game is unlike anything I've ever played. It's completely original IMO. You can't stay out of cover and simply pick off your enemy when he pops out of cover, if you leave cover for more than 2-3 seconds on Hard, your dead. Snipers are placed across the map that kill you in 2 shots. In order to succeed they give you some pretty cool tactics. Like the option to hold only your arm out of cover to just spray and prey wildly, I've never seen it emplimented this good to where it's not cheating. This causes your enemys to either get behind cover, or you may kill them if you spray enough. The game places heavy damage snipers in certain spots, and enemies with pistols and machine guns have thier positions. You also can't just stay in one spot, because the hard to kill shotgun enemys will charge you, and if he hits you twice, your dead(I play on hard). Another thing different about the gunplay is the way the guns feel and the strategy you have to use to be accurate with the weapons. The weapons in this game are truly awesome, they are perfect. They feel like real guns, they kick like real guns, they are inaccurate like real guns sometimes. With some guns you have to time your shot just right or you will just skim the enemy. The game also has some truly unique weapons that you've never seen before. And each of the 10-15 different weapons has it's own purpose.

    Another part of the game I was blown away by was the different ways you can interact with the world. In some games, if you go up to a note on a piece of paper, the paper magically super imposes itself on your screen, and you read it, and then it goes away. In The Order, you pick up the note with your hand, move it in any direction, then when your done, you place it back down. You do this with most physical items you can pick up in the game. And instead of just giving you a lock picking game like all other games, you have a tool designed by Tesla to pick locks that feels like you are actually picking the lock, not just playing a mini game. There are SO many items like this that you actuallly physically use in the game, like the device you use to open the armorys designed by Tesla, and your monocular is also one of the coolest things. Everything in this game feels REAL, I can't emphasize that enough. NO mini games, NO menus, NOTHING that would remind you that you are in a video game. And the fact that it's bug free and smooth as butter is truly amazing at a time when games ship broken.

    My favorite parts of the game was the stealth section at night in this beautiful garden in the middle of London while it's raining. All the guards are walking around with lights and you can either shoot them with your very limited amount of arrows, or if you time it right, you can melee your enemy for a truly awesome and brutal looking take down. Another favorite part of my playthrough was walking underground beneath london, they give you these lanterns and it's pretty damn creepy and the environment just sucks you in completely. I felt I was inside the game during these sections and it looked so awesome.

    If you want a game like Destiny, COD, or some other grinding twitchy game. That's fine, I sometimes like those games too. But every game doesn't need to be THAT. And if you want the usually survival exploration third person shooter like Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, or Uncharted, those games are awesome. This game is different. You don't "Level Up", it's not "Open World". It's The Order 1886.

    The Order 1886 is an expertly polished, truly immersive, ground breaking experience that's never been done before. It has original class leading graphics,fresh game play, and a way of telling you the story never before exerienced in a video game. If you want an experience you truly have never had before, I recommend you try The Order 1886.

    I rate games based on the answer to this question. Did the developer create the exact game they wanted to create, without cutting any corners, and perfectly realizing thier idea? Yes, 100%.

    Now there are of course some flaws to the game, such as the length and replayability (took me about 7 hours to finish story and there is no multiplayer or co-op), the shooting may be a bit outdated (reminded me of the first Uncharted), but this game is a very well done introduction game to what could be a fantastic series.
    All in all, The Order: 1886 is a great game for players that enjoy great storytelling, admiral-able characters, and spectacular graphics with no bugs or glitches. Although short in length, it provides you with an amazing experience as you travel around steam punk London.

The story presented is very good, while not edge-of-my-seat intense it never bored me and was interesting the whole time. There is lots of downtime and cinematic fights, but they are all done extremely well. Do not let this be reason why you don't buy the game, all the downtime is justified and relevant.

    I just can't put my finger on it, but The Order is missing something.. I don't know what it is, but while I was playing I just couldn't help thinking that this game needed one extra step to be a fantastic game. Maybe it was more dynamic shooting sections, or less obtrusive way of including QTE'S? What is presented here is not bad by any means, but The Order just needed one more spark to catapult it into greatness, I truly believe that.

    Overall, I do recommend you buy it if you want something different. If you hate when the gaming world does something different and would rather see another generic shooter, then stay far away.    … Expand

This game is a new breed of interactive CINEMATIC experience, and I stress the word "Cinematic" because that's what it is; the camera angles, the linearity of the stages, the photography, the progression of the story, all of them serve for you to experience the director's vision. This is probably why so many people are rating this game with 50, 40, or below. I've seen reviews punishing it for things that are completely ignored in other games. For example:

    " The final boss is an anti climatic QTE fight that ends without answering many questions "

    I may not be a professional critic but I did played Shadow of Mordor (finished it and got the platinum). And beating Sauron by pressing triangle (on Ps4) was the epitome of anti climatic. ¿How about beating the Black Captain with stealth drain? Yeah, that was epic...

    The game is considerably easy to beat, the only real challenge here are the shotgun specialists. It is quite short, I got my platinum in 7-8 hours, yet it kept me entertained for the duration.

    The order is a new experience that takes inspiration from many genres without being defined as one or another. ¿Is it perfect? No, it isn't. ¿Is it crap? No, it isn't. It's something different, and, for those of us that want more options in gaming rather than the yearly release of a "new" Call of Duty (talk about the "same old boring weapons") or the 11nth spin off on the space shooter: We should show more support to developers that TRY to create something different. This game is not for gamers who want the endless "aim and shoot" or having a gun fight every 5 minutes and killing thousands of baddie's.

    If you are one of those players (not that there is something good or bad about it) that hate the new trend of cinematic games, then avoid this one. If you are a fan of movies and want a varied experience, then I recommend that you buy or rent this tittle.    … Expand

    I applaud Ready at Dawn for this very cinematic game, as it truly was an intriguing, visually stunning, and captivating experience. They have created what I think of as an interactive movie, which probably could've been reflected in Sony's advertising, which described it as a "third-person shooter," which I personally feel doesn't describe the experience I had with the game.

    I enjoyed the story, which was very unique, well-written, and void of cliches. I felt attached to the characters and felt motivated to continue playing to find out what would happen. Ready at Dawn has set up a very good universe for The Order 1886, and I would be displeased if they didn't take advantage of it with a sequel.

    What I will say is that $60 is a lot of money for a game that took me 7 hours to beat, despite it being a very entertaining 7 hours. When the game ultimately drops in price, I definitely recommend picking it up, as it is an experience that I don't think should be missed due to critical reviews knocking its linear gameplay and QTE's that may turn some people away.    … Expand

That said my only complaints were towards the game play. I did enjoy the game play and the weapons themselves, but i found the game play lacked execution. Anytime you were in a fight the enemies just came out in waves, mostly in the same spot. Also when you were fighting werewolves you were always encased in a boxed room. I would have liked to seen werewolves turning mid fight with other enemies or the enemies flaking you, just something other than waves. I can understand some saying the length doesn't support the price, but honestly the production value in this game is more than worth your time and the price. Plus the game never felt short nor was it a short game. It holds an average time for a campaign and it sure did deliver. I understand the complaints for the quick time events as well, but i never found myself hating them. This game was great and i hope it does well enough to grant it a sequel, I would love to see improvements in the game play since i believe that would fix the the heavily dependent upon quick time events and add some length to the game it self.

    Like many people said, there are a lot of cutscenes, the game isn't long at all, but it doesn't overstay its welcome either, the shooting is very normal for the genre, which is a shame, but not something to be held against it.

    It does however give the player to experience the wonderful lore and world of 1886 England, with some of the best visual prowess ever created and an absolutely amazing art direction.
    The Order is an excellent game for what it is, but people tend to judge it for what it is not, which is a shame.

    The gameplay is really solid and fun to play. I particularly liked it because it felt like I was in control of a real person rather than a light agile character as you find in most games. You can feel the weight of Galahad as a person while playing. They have provided a variety of stealth and action gameplay styles which will keep you on your toes and at the edge of your seat.

    My only two suggestions to improve the game in future outings would be to give the players more freedom to explore the awesome weapons on show and to perhaps have an upgrade mechanic for them. And also I felt the hand to hand stealth combat could have been smoother.

    Visuals, sound, atmosphere, acting, story, world and gameplay impress all round.

    Game length was as I expected and absolutely fine (8-9hrs in my case), however the game is so good I absolutely felt like I wanted more….and that’s a good thing.

    I have no doubt that future outings will hold even more freedom of gameplay now this amazing engine and world are built for this fantastic new IP.    … Expand

    The graphics are simply stunning. The music and moods tense. It's not the longest game and it is very linear but it sets out and accomplishes its goals: it tells a compelling story, the world is very believable and there are some genuinely good scares. Overall a very solid gaming experience. And the premium edition statue is bad-ass.

Graphics, story, sound, music, voice acting and all the technical sides to this game are nothing short of excellent. People are bashing this game because of the barebones game itself. It's around seven hours of gameplay and riddled with quick time events. There are more cut scenes than actual gameplay. I get all the backlash, I really do. But why did this come as such a surprise. I don't think the game was advertised as anything other than what it truly is. The gameplay the order does have though, is really freaking fun. While it doesn't change the formula of the third person genre and is missing some features, the gunplay is very enjoyable.

    Don't listen to all the critics on this one. Most of the negative press is most likely coming from Sony haters, especially on this site. While The Order: 1886 is a bit disappointing in terms of content, it is definitely worth a play through if you are one bit interested in the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Order 1866 is a lot like a Gears of War, but it has the tunnel vision that Final Fantasy 13 brought to that franchise. Now I know I may not sound like I am reflecting the score, but keep in mind there is more to read. The game has an excellent presentation, Solid to Ok gameplay mechanics, and a lot of empty. I will focus on the Good, Ok, and the bad in that order.

    The presentation is pretty much mind blowing, and I own a ultra high end PC, Xbox1, PS4, etc gaming system I have it. However, the visuals, audio, and just atmosphere in this game is just excellent. I like the lore and due to the way it is presented this game is aching for a 2nd and or maybe even a third game. A lot of the times there will be a beautiful cutscene and the game will pan out to a gameplay moment and I am sitting there waiting for something to happen, as I can not believe that this game is actually in real time. The cutscenes are great, but what makes them truly special is the acting which is on par with some of the best movies. The visuals and sound leaving nothing to be desired its just that good.

    Gameplay is where the game starts to drag not because they don't work well or are sloppy, but because utilization is not as deep as it could have been. The shooting feels as good or better then any cover shooter, the cover system is the best I've ever used. However, all enemies are funneled to their death and its just not enough or lacks any variation. The QTE are not all over the place as some had me believe, but rather minimalistic and appear in appropriate moments. I wish there was a hand to hand combat, and especially during spoiler**** when you face one of the lycans in the hospital**** I wish it had some sort of Batman Arkhan style combat system. Oh well its not bad just wish there was more and maybe more of a variation.

    Now my biggest gripe with the game it reminds me of the old school RE games on PlayStation one in a not good way. See the visuals are breath taking, and the environments are amazing; however, everything around you is dead... no pun intended. I mean Its all for show you do nothing with it, and when there is a interaction or collectible there is no notification that this is something special you found. The level of detail is sickening, and my biggest wish for this game is Sony allows Ready At Dawn to add some more menus and maybe a inventory system.

    I take two steps in the right direction and one back, but overall I have had great fun with it and is an excellent show piece of what current gen systems are capable visually. I hope that on the next games my issues with lack of quantity or variety in gameplay is addressed, and just maybe add a notification system when I find a cool item. This is a solid game and great entertainment and I will defiantly revisit it if any DLC or sequels are announced.    … Expand

    I preordered the collector's edition, 10/10 I had so much fun.

    Not. At the end of my play time, the thought replaying the story again felt like a chore, because it feels like there is a lot of cutscenes to go through again.

    Why am I complaining about this? Because the way RAD wanted this game to be - a game that is a cinematic experience, ended up being a frankenstein-like creation, cutting out chunks of gameplay and shoehorning in numerous cutscenes and scripted action. Then they have the audacity to market their qte's as a way to 'involve the player so they don't feel like they're just watching a movie'. Qte's work when they are on rare occasions, not everytime your character gets into a fist fight animation.

    Why do I replay single-player games? Because it is a game, not a movie. Games are different, everytime you play it. Movies are the same every time you rewatch it, but its story and quality are high enough to compensate. RAD wanted to make the game into a movie, so they made the gameplay as linear as possible, and segmented it with heaps of cutscenes and qte sequences. It's a game. I'm suppose to control the character, not watch him be animated 50% of the time.

    Gameplay? It's very simple. The environments look diverse, but the playspace is simply different combinations of cover spaced 3 metres from eachother. The AI rebels aren't very dynamic at all, there's two types of enemies, one rushes you with shotguns, the other hides behind cover, periodically shooting at you, and is programmed to so nohing else till his death. And ways of taking down human enemies is the same, even for pretty much every weapon - headshot them. A Halo campaign with only Grunts as enemies would be more dynamic than this game.

    Well I'm selling my copy. Next time I'll only buy games that have good gameplay, because that is the sole purpose of a game - to be fun to play. A game with the best graphics in the world, and the best story in the world is useless if it's no fun to play.

    If you want the story that much, just watch a walkthrough, and use your money to buy a fun game. Better yet just rent it. With almost zero replayability, you can get its full worth after two days.    … Expand

    The only thing I really felt let down by with this game was the melee combat, button prompts just aren't my thing and they kind of ruined what could have been a high point in the game and that's the fights with the Lycans. I'd much rather have a more free form melee combat system than what they've included. Don't get me wrong overall the gameplay is great but the melee is the weakest part for sure.

    As usual there are a ton of people here rating the game low who've never played it and just own different gaming platform and want to knock a PS4 exclusive down but most people I know who've played the game actually enjoyed it. It certainly deserves a lot better than an okay grade.

It seems like people a criticizing the game for what it is not instead of enjoying it for what it is. If you are here to get an idea if this is something you would enjoy then you must first understand what type of experience this title offers. It is not an open world game with quests and side missions. It is not a dedicated 3rd person shooter for the competitive shooter crowd and it most certainly is not a game which offers multiple branching story paths. It is a very cinematic experience which strives to tell a very linear story in a very specific way. It uses phenomenal well written and brilliantly acted cut scenes, a solid but not evolutionary 3rd person cover mechanic and very well implemented QTEs as vehicles to tell a very engaging story. So if you ever thought that it would be awesome to control an action move then this is your game. The presentation is flawless. These are CG quality graphics we are looking at here. And because the visuals and the atmosphere are so well executed I feel like the cinematic approach is fully warranted because for the first time a video game truly looks like a move. It was one of the best story experiences I have had in a game. This game is an experience that every true gamer should have. If you enjoyed games like Heavy Rain and Ryse then I feel like you will also get what this game is attempting to do and it does it better than any other game before it. This is without a doubt a title that will divide people and I totally understand why. But when I need a break between playing Far Cry 4, Halo MCC, Dying Light etc. this is a fantastic diversion that does not overstay its welcome. I cannot wait for the sequel. Take all the negative reviews with a grain of salt. This is an excellent title if you understand what it offers. I am really enjoying this one!… Expand

After completing the game today, I can not figure out why the game has gotten such bad reviews. I think it is because in this day and age, gamers have such high expectations that anything less than absolute perfection is trashFirst off, let me say this: DO NOT BELIEVE THE BIG NAME REVIEWS ON THIS GAME. Make no mistake, The Order:1886 is a truly next-gen game and a VERY good one at that. After completing the game today, I can not figure out why the game has gotten such bad reviews. I think it is because in this day and age, gamers have such high expectations that anything less than absolute perfection is trash to them. The Order:1886 is close to perfection. I'll list the pros and cons below:

    THE GOOD:

    -Is goes without saying, the game is GORGEOUS. The visuals in the game are the best I've seen in a console game period. The lighting, level design, everything about the graphics in the game are top-notch;

    -The voice acting is perfect. You really feel as if the voice actors ARE the characters they are portraying. Everything from the performance to voice acting, facial expressions, are done perfectly;

    -The game has a huge assortment of weapons to use. All the enemies carry different guns so you're never forced to use a certain weapon for too long if you don't want to. Just pick up another one and go. On that note, the guns FEEL and SOUND like they should. They're heavy. You can see the muzzle flash with each shot and the shell casing being shot out of the chamber with a little puff of smoke. It's awesome;

    -Enemies react to getting shot in various body parts. Shoot them in the leg, they react to that. In the arm, they react to that. Physics are also ragdoll so the enemies dying is realistic. The gore effects are realistic as well;

    -The game play IS PHENOMENAL. A lot of reviews online criticize the game for being too heavy on QTE's and cut scenes. I'll say this and take it from me: THE GAME HAS MORE GAME PLAY THAN CUT SCENES. The game ties the game play into cut scenes and it done perfectly. The QTE's for me were never an issue because whatever was happening on screen during the QTE was so entertaining;

    -The story is great and you really get into it. The game never lags along or has too much filler. From the start of the game it's action action action and the story never stops. This is made better by the incredible voice acting and performance of those playing the characters;

    THE BAD:

    -Yes the game is short. My play through was about 6 hours start to finish and there is no reason to replay the game again except for the incredible story and game play, which are both awesome. That being said, you will enjoy your ride while you are on board because everything in the game is done so well;

    -Insta-fail stealth sections. If you are spotted by a guard during these segments, you fail the level and must start over. Sneaking up to a guard to perform a stealth kill also took me a few deaths to figure out what was happening. You sneak up behind a guard and a blurred out triangle icon appears on screen. A circle closes in on the triangle icon and when the triangle icon lights up, you must press triangle to perform a successful stealth kill. If you press triangle before the icon lights up, you are spotted and the guard kills you, making you instantly fail the level. The courtyard level towards the end of the game is my least favorite and is very monotonous. Luckily, this segment is short and you're back into the action quickly.

    That's honestly all I can think of that I didn't like the game. The Order: 1886 is getting destroyed in the reviews by bog name publications but honestly I don't know why. This is a cinematic game similar to The Walking Dead games by Tell Tale. Some cut scenes, some game play. This game has mostly game play. People claiming the game has 10+ minute cut scenes are flat out LYING. This game has a perfect mix of cut scenes to give you the story and game play that is FUN. Others may not be able to justify paying $60 for a game but in this case I absolutely can and I recommend anyone who likes good games to buy this. I promise you will not be disappointed as this game is truly one of the best games I have ever played.    … Expand

    i hated heavy rain. and this is nothing like it.

    To sum it all up for you its a interactive movie where you listen to all the plot walk around areas a little and then get to play all the action, all this is seamlessly bound together as for people saying its got a short play through.. then you didnt play it properly and just ran through it all without looking around

    after 6 hours game time (hard setting) has gotten me to Chapter 11 out of 16 and I have enjoy every minute of it from all the gun fights, quick time events and the little exploring you get to do

    *update*
    i have now fully completed the game and found every item took about 10 total hours (its got a lot of items)
    all trophy's completed - enjoyed it all ( boss QTE was hardest but still fun)

    just so you know i found the QTE's didnt spoil the flow as i normally i hate these things but i have actually started enjoying even these events as they fit/suit this type of game which again is a interaction action movie.

    All i can say is dont listen to the people moaning about it and try something different for once.

    This really game is a refreshing change from all the blam blam of all the run of the mill games we have been playing for the last few years . COD's BF's ,MMO's etc just give it a go and you might find a surprise like i have.. dont be scared of something people bring to the table just because people say its boring.

    p.s. for all those haters moaning about guns over powered.. this about it...its a GUN if you shoot someone in the head they are DEAD.. it takes 1 head shot to kill people or 3 to 5 body shots depending on where you shoot them, again that makes a lot of sense for this type of interactive action movie game ( which as everyone points looks AMAZING), we are not playing COD or destiny any more.

However, these are not so bad as to give The Order a less than average score. Clearly the only artistic choices made by "Ready At Dawn": the more widescreen aspect ratio and the more cinematic game play; isn't everyone's favorite. But these things are cosmetic and if/when a sequel comes out they can go back and be like, "hey guys this didn't gel with people let's do something else."
    Personally I like what "The Order: 1886" is doing, more so, under the hood. There are no loading screens/times! There are scene transitions and cut-aways for story progression, but no load times. We as gamers keep begging developers to make our experiences more fluid and less stop and go and when a game actually does this we condemn it for using tools like "quick time events" and the like instead of sterile and stationary loading screens between levels, cut scenes and the like. True The Order is more a cinematic experience than other games...it might even give MGS4 a run for its money...but isn't this the natural progression of our medium to being more interactively realistic and involving? Who wants to be jerked in and out of an emotional state of excitement from a pivotal cut scene to a sterile blank expression from a 30 second load screen?
    For a new IP title I think this is Ready at Dawn dipping their toe into the water before jumping of the diving board. Could there be more world exploration? Sure. Should we be able to skip cut scenes? I guess, but other developers have recently had issues with that as well...*cough* bungie...but then the experience of this particular game would suffer because of how everything under the hood works. Does there really need to be a competitive multiplayer? No. Is this game a fun and entertaining distraction from the day in/day out rigor morale that is our lives? Hell yes! I for one can't wait to finish this game and start over again.
    The Order 1886 is a new game, it's its own game. And I for one think it's worth your time. Wait for a sale if you want you be sorry you didn't play it sooner.    … Expand

    Here is an new IP that takes existing stories from legend and history, wraps them up with an interesting spin that looks and plays wonderfully. Yet is getting blasted by criticism from all sides.

    Yes compared to some games it is short. But then some games have a massive amount of padding to increase their length. I have yet to finish Skyrim's main campaign as I lose interest, there is too much to do and the focus is lost. I recently got Dragon Age Inquisition and although I am enjoying it immensely, I do wonder if I really need to wander or ride about the Hinterlands collecting shiny shards or drawing pictures in the sky.

    Compared to others though the length of The Order is comparable or even longer. It took me longer to finish this story than any of the Call of Duties. An unlike the Call of Duties and their ilk I found myself engaged throughout the entire story.

    Yes, there are QTE's but those do not bother me. People complain about QTE's but what is the alternative? They provide interactivity to what in the past has been just a cutscene and when you think about it really an entire game is really just one long QTE, i.e. you press a number of buttons in sequence to progress. God of War titles use QTEs excessively and those games are always well received why does this game get dragged over the coals for them?

    Additionally I will always prefer a well crafted QTE than "shoot the inexplicable weak point until it dies" mechanic that even now developers fall back on.

    I really enjoyed this game. I found the story interesting and it was provided in an engaging way. Visually this game is stunning. My Father in Law thought I was watching a movie with real life people when he saw me playing it. The characters are well crafted, yes they are based on existing tropes, but they are tropes that work and slot into the setting well. The voice acting is brilliant and the music matches the pace and tone of the scenes perfectly. I liked the weapons, thoroughly enjoyed zapping enemies with the arc gun and found the thermite gun to be a very interesting take on the remote explosive weapon.

    Perhaps if this game had a multplayer option it would have been better received. Perhaps like many recent titles it is a victim of hype.

    If you want a nicely presented story with nearly all the chaff cut from it, if you like short, sharp gunplay sequences that do not out live their welcome and even a nice little stealth section thrown in for good measure, then get this game.

    If you judge the value of a game by the length of time you spend playing on it or if you prefer your action to be non stop with the story taking a back seat to battling enemies then you might want to give this one a miss.It is likely not your cup of tea. But that is OK, there are plenty of games that are.    … Expand

    The black bars at the top and bottom of the screen is only noticeable at the beginning after that you will simply not mind them being there because you will be drawn into the beautiful recreated London and be lost in fantastic story the game delivers.
    The voice acting is another very impressive factor within the order 1886 and every element of the game fits perfectly like a puzzle to give the player the best possible gaming experience and one they will never forget.
    Ready at Dawn did a brilliant job with the order 1886 and it was worth the wait to experience this brilliant masterpiece. The critics were extremely harsh on this game and most likely attacked it because the game is not as long as they hoped for and the story might not have been quite their taste.

Like most news of today it has lost integrity in an effort to compete with bloggers and social media. Honest reporting has taken a backseat to sensationalized, clickbait, lowest common denominator trash. Payouts, scandals, controversy, political bias, all have turned the world into people living in a bubble or vaccum of their liking. The Order 1886 is a remarkable video game. Not just in the quality of its technical aesthetic (which is the most astonishing thing ever seen in a video game) but in its storytelling and diverse gameplay that does what's right for its story and not what's right to appeal to every gamer under the moon. Single player campaigns are the heart and soul of gaming. Always has been and always will be. Games that tell an immersive story and envelops the player in an incredible gaming experience is still a profitable sphere. And The Order will be successful. I bought it. I loved it (all 11 hours of my first play through) and so will millions of others. The gaming media won't change that. Multiplayer is an added bonus in video games. Every game doesn't have to be everything for everyone. And the outright hatred and bias this game has faced for not being Call of Duty or even Gears of War is despicable. Gears of War dreamed it had a story and universe this sophisticated and well written. Gears of Wars story and characters seem as if written by drunken frat boys who wanted to make an alien invasion game. A quintessential dude bro fiasco with over maschismoed steroid junkies as leads. The Order aspires to be more than that. An I appreciate its classy take on the genre. Sorry if you don't. But not everyone wants their gaming dumbed down.
    And furthermore, I have never been a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. But GOOD LORD some of these reviews wreak of alterior motive and disingenuous bias. Take this Digital Trend review for example. There is no way in absolute hell you can in good conscience score this game a 1. The quality is just too good. It's an undeniable technical masterpiece regardless if you find its gaming shortcomings egregious or not. I didn't because I really enjoy cinematic experiences. And the gun combat is incredible when it's there. Granted their could be more in the game. It's not perfect by any stretch but a 1?! Yeah right. The fact that the guy at Digital Trends used to be editor at Xbox The Magazine is a glaring red flag. I do believe he and SOME (not all) oft hear reviewers had a clear motive when harshly damning this game. Some people fear this game can rival and surpass Gears of War. Well Iin terms of story, lore, graphics, and characters it eclipse it by lightyears. Gameplay and game modes wise it admittedly hasn't but it has potential to with a sequel. Anyone who loved Uncharted, Heavy Rain, or God of War will love it. No multiplayer in those games, no new game plus, incredible experiences. Which is exactly what the Order is. An incredible gaming experience. A must have if you own a PS4.    … Expand

Instead this game got shaken down by poor media reviews that soured the user reviews by expecting it to be bad (you know how expecting something to be bad makes it so if you let it). I give it a Solid 8.5 (beats the pants off COD or the Resistance series - ugh).

    I am in awe of how good this game looks. You have to play just to see that for yourself. The gunplay is very solid (gears good) with different weapons to try out. You can't see over cover. That is true, but can you see over cover in real life when you are ducked behind it. Its one of those gaming tropes we have gotten used to, but it makes no sense to be able to see over cover you are ducking behind and its unfair that you can see the AI and they can't see you (poor ai). The black bars at the top and bottom of my screen, that I was fairly concerned about, might as well not exist because I don't notice them.

    The cutscenes are not jaring at all, which I find them to be most of the time (like they take you out of the action and they look so much better than the gameplay, graphically). Like Uncharted before it, Ready At Dawn makes the gameplay look as good as the cutscenes so you actually have to move the stick to see if you are in control yet. The one negative I have is for the QTEs, which I have no love for. They are not frustrating most of the time, but there is a melee fight that was very frustrating to me because I couldn't see the prompts since they were tiny and off to the side of the action (normally these flash up on top of the action so you can see them and watch the action at the same time). I failed it until I just watched the prompts on the side instead of being engaged in the action. I will say there aren't any multi-button timed QTEs. Just single button/stick presses/moves. I would have prefered Batman-like melee controls instead of QTEs of course, so that is my main problem with the game. Shooting good. Melee combat - needs improvement.

    This next praise is looked upon as a negative by some; The game is highly scripted and linear just like a Gears, Resistance or COD campaign. I like a narrative driven game, heavy on amazingly well voiced dialogue and story with beautifully crafted cutscenes. I lose interest in open world games many times if they lack some reason to move forward (ala Dragon Age Inq.). Should a game get lower reviews because it delivers a great story at the expense of the typical open world that I have become so bored with this gen? I say no. The game moves you slowly sometimes to soak in the enviroments. The devs put so much effort into making this game photorealistic, it deserves your time to soak it in. So if you are a speed runner that goes as fast as you can through every game you play this game isn't for you. If you like to look at everything in a game and let it come to life for you then give the game your money and your time. It totally deserves your hard earned money. I see replaying this game a few times so I don't feel cheated (I knew it would be on the short side, but so was Halo 3 and I never felt cheated just playing the excellently scripted campaign. I expect it will take by 10+ hours to finish since I am moving so slowly through the environments enjoying the amazing world RAD built. I think I've made my point of what kind of gamers will like this game. Support this game if you like this sort of game. It deserves your money and time. I'm hoping for a sequel!    … Expand

    Two things bothered me about Order: 1886... The first caused me to deduct a point. The second? Is more of a personal taste, so I didn't downgrade it for that.
    1.) Length - And not the standard, "OMGZ why doesn't this game have 50+ hours of gameplay" complaint.

The first caused me to deduct a point. The second? Is more of a personal taste, so I didn't downgrade it for that.
    1.) Length - And not the standard, "OMGZ why doesn't this game have 50+ hours of gameplay" complaint. But rather, there were a couple of scenes/moments/scenarios that could have used some judicious editing. For those whining about it not lasting 50+ hours... It's a story driven game. Not a third person shooter that will throw you into situation after situation just for the purpose of you to live out some psychopathic, sociopathic fantasy of gunning down hundred of guards/creatures/robots.
    2.) "Half-Breed" Mechanics - This took FOREVER for me to figure out what was occurring. And...as a forty-five year old? It was a bit "quick" for me... Those with younger reaction times will probably not even notice.

    But the good:
    1.) IP - This? If managed correctly? Could be a bigger IP than Assassin's Creed. So many different directions to go. So many story lines and questions unresolved. So much historical background for usage... The mind boggles at the possibilities.
    2.) Graphics - I haven't seen better. Anywhere. In and of itself, the Order: 1886 is a representation of what this machine can and will actually do. Add as many superlatives as you want. Amazing. Astounding. Jaw Dropping. Unbelievable. Insane. Etc...etc...etc...
    3.) Story - Just a mere notch below the Last of Us. Not quite the sheer level of feels, but there are a couple of moments where you pray for it to end, just so the tension and feeling of getting punched in the gut will stop. Characters you actually give a rat's butt about. A alternative "steampunk" universe that works.

    I can see where the CoD, or Final Fantasy players are going to be foaming at the mouth for the fact that there's no multiplayer, there's not fifty or sixty hours of game play to wade through, and there's actual characters instead of some cardboard cutouts representing the stereotypical "hero" you're controlling.

    [TL;DR version] This game leans more towards an adventure game...with some third person shooting mixed in to keep it lively... Gorgeous graphics. But at times, the taut story line does drag a bit.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The order 1886 is a child of the Sony Santa Monica design philosophy. Beautiful to look at, Quality Assurance that matches the definition of Quality Assurance, and just fun. So damn fun.

    There is no denying the fact that from presentation, to really specific game and story mechanics, that the Order oozes influence from its bound to more successful meat head of an older brother, Gears of War. From the cover based shooting and movement, to the forced slow walk during radio chatter and set-piece moments, when they want you to look at something.

    Every single thing about this game is a iterating on the Gears style. Normally that would be a bad thing, but the most recent Cog in that series left a dry, bitter, and ultimately un-fulfilling taste in my mouth. Something that would also normally turn me off to a genre completely. Then I played Vanquish again, and was pleasantly reminded that as long as the developers care hard enough, anything can be good.

    So, after much deliberation, I picked up my pre-order of... the order, (haha.... ugh...) and popped it in to my ps4 with the expectation of being underwhelmed, but hopefully entertained. I can happily report that from moment one of the game my attention was held, and all the way through my decidedly short play-through, 9 hours in all, I enjoyed myself.

    t certainly didn't hurt that the game is a sight to behold. The order delivers visuals on the level of good CG of yesteryear at real time speeds. It took a while for it to sink in that every facet of the game was being rendered as I was playing it. On more then 10 occasions, at least, I forgot that I was playing a game. Even when I was happily blowing away dozens of borderline racist depictions of the British, I couldn't help but notice that every screen-shot that could have been taken from my time playing, could have been easily pulled directly out of the game, and slapped on the back of the box. The moment to moment composition of the shots in this game is impeccable, absolutely so.

    In a word, the game is: Beautiful.

    Usually, I would reserve words like shot composition for talking about a movie. The fact that every element on the screen is always worth looking at, is a testament to this game's unmatched visual aesthetic. I cannot get over how damn pretty everything looks. It certainly adds to the presentation that I never experienced a single graphical glitch or other debilitating game play bug the entire time I played. There was a single time during the entire experience that Nikola's pathing corrected itself. The problem lasted half a second.

    Bravo Ready at Dawn. I can honestly say that no other game has delivered such polish to my eye. That pretty much puts you in a category of your own. Well done.

    In terms of game play, there isn't much to be said really. The game's bread and butter is hiding behind wall and taking inaccurate pot shots at other guys hiding behind similar walls taking pot shots at you. It is simple and satisfying to kill. bonus points for the fact the rag doll physics aren't embarrassingly comical looking. very rigid and grounded, always a plus. The parts of the game where you don't shoot-bang your way to victory are spent meandering about a very charming, albeit grey, rendition of other world London, either climbing on rickety looking and usually moist buildings or engaging in downright brutal and visceral, close-range combat. Combat that ranges from above average pressing of the button and maneuvering of the sticks, to fully realized smaller games that pit you up against the most realized and terrifying werewolves that I have ever seen.

    Dark, disturbing; this game has it. It nails the feeling of its chosen setting, and never fails to elevate the blood pressure. forget the price and treat yourself to an order of the finest meal cinematic gaming has to offer.

    This game looks wonderful and sounds wonderful, in that aspect is a masterpiece for the PS4 console.

    This game also offers a really good story plus amazing characters acting, where almost any game out there offers both things like The Order 1886.

    The art inside this game is out of this world, no one can deny it, not even the most horrible fanboy out there.

    The ambience and effects are also very good and personally i didnt think PS4 was going to offer such stuff so soon.

    The gameplay is dynamic, because its supposed that you will keep attention to the story telling and the cutscenes wont bother you, it will be the opossite and you will do enjoy the cutscenes just because the story is amazing.

    I also liked the QTE's because are not a lot but fun and great looking.

    Overall this game doesnt deserves the crappy critic, so i will just score it a 10.

    I have to be truthful, because of the graphic fidelity I thought I actually wouldn't get to play much and be left watching the game. I'm very critical about switch between cut scenes to gameplay. Are you actually pulling over the cut scene quality into the gameplay? Too often games tease us with their cut scenes of amazing quality to a point that if a game is announced with just a cut scene to show I throw it under the rug. I had honestly thrown the order under that rug. I pre ordered it only for the very cool collectors edition figurine. Then the time came for me to actually put my hands on the game and my opinion changed.

    The game isn't to long, I beat it in roughly 8 hours, but I was intrigued the whole time. Its not a perfect masterpiece but I enjoyed it, it left me wanting more. To me this is the foundation for great things to come. The biggest issue with everyones negative reviews is they expect everything else other games offer in this game as well. At a young age I was never really interested in an open world, coop, multiplayer, or decisions to make, I loved films, stories, and adventure. The order appealed to me completely in this way. The shooting is solid, the story is solid, the graphics are amazing, and its just an experience to behold.

    I don't see these "negative" points and the reason why is cause the game is actually real and believable. Do you think in real life, it would be a blazing inferno the whole way through, michael bay's fantasy dream? No, people die, numbers dwindle, people regroup and plan. While I am making my way through a warehouse to look at key items, who knows, the enemy might be planning their new attack, or there might only be 2 left. Would I really have time to check every single box, drawer, and read every manuscript, they might be ready to charge in. We have communicators, they might only have word of mouth. We are skilled but we are just as vulnerable as our enemies. They, on the otherhand, are not as skilled. They are not knights after all. It's like navy seals to police, they obviously are better trained. To many games have made the character be you, but in this game you are not you. You need to think you are controlling Sir Galahad and this is his story.

    Now brings the question, what would make this game a 10 for me? More control of the cut scenes, big moments, weapons (especially science ones), and more history on the creatures and the world, just a bit more depth you could say. With what we have though the game gives you enough to look for in clues and questions, but not so much to leave you overwhelmed wondering what did I miss. It does this as well as leading you in the right way to continue what its supposed to be doing, telling a story.

    A 5 out of 10 is a bad game, The Order 1886 is not bad game, It's a solid game in every aspect.    … Expand

    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.
