    Great story, combat and world building, the game is a bit short but for the price you can get it now it is more than worth it.

    The Order 1886, is simply the most beautiful and cinematic game i've ever seen with the most engaging story that shows not only the progress of the protagonist but also shows how conservative The Order can be with certain arguments and/or situations providing the player the feeling of betrayal and corruption within your own friends and brothers

    A fantastic experience! Unlike others Interactive Movies, where you can choose some paths to define the way the history goes, The Order 1886 is more like a "playable movie". The QTE are still there but the history is linear, without any kind of choices, but the game play has a lot more action, with fluid moviments, creative weapons arsenal and good battle fun between the scenes.

Consider the Uncharted battles on a Until Dawn and you probably got. On the movie aspects, the game is gorgeous: The best graphics you will find on the generation with some of the longest cutscenes. Is the best "play a movie" experience that you can get on consoles even today, 6 years after release. Totally recomandable.… Expand

    Das Spiel ist eher wie ein spielbarer Film inszeniert, ähnlich wie die Spiele von Quantic Dream, natürlich muss man das mögen, ich persönlich habe damit nicht allzu große Probleme, also habe ich diesem Spiel letzten Monate endlich eine Chance gegeben und das hat sich tatsächlich sehr gelohnt.

Die Story ist wirklich sehr gut geschrieben und weitestgehend unvorhersehbar inszeniert, die Charaktere handeln alle glaubwürdig und auch die Grafik ist für das Jahr 2015 sehr schön.

    Zur Story:
    Man spielt in einem alternativen viktorianischen London. Unter den Menschen gibt es Fabelwesen (eine Geschichte die gerade den Verschwörungstheoretikern gut gefallen könnte :) ) und es gibt einen Ritter Orden, der geschworen hat eben diese Fabelwesen zu vernichten, ihr spielt einen dieser Ritter und werdet während des Spiels auf eine Verschwörung des Königshaus aufmerksam. Mehr möchte ich zu dem Spiel gar nicht verraten, weil diese Spiel eben durch seine Geschichte punktet.

    Schade das das Spiel so schlechte publicity bekommen hat und auch schade, das dass Studio von Facebook aufgekauft wurde, denn so werden wir leider nie einen 2. Teil dieses guten Spiels sehen.

    This game has some flaws but overall, it’s a fun, cinematic romp through a beautifully art directed world.

Though it never received a 4K upgrade, it still stands as one of the best looking games to have come out for the PS4. The character design, acting and story are all exemplary, as are the sound design and music, which weave a haunting and tense soundscape that melds perfectly with the visual environments. The character animation work set a new bar and has really only been surpassed by TLOU 2. This game is a stunner but I knocked off a couple points for two reasons; the Lycan fights are terrible, frustrating affairs that really make you wonder what the devs were things when they drew that up, and the character control can be a bit wonky at times, likely because they prioritized animation over control. It’s still a great game though, and totally worth your time. It’s truly a shame that it doesn’t look like we’ll ever see a sequel for it, since it was the first real “wow factor” game for the PS4.… Expand

    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.

Yes, there are a few bugs here are there, but nothing game-breaking. Usually minor visual glitches.… Expand

    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.

    One of the best early exclusives for the ps4, just a bit underrated; it is quiet short, but the story, the environment, everything other that the duration for me was perfect.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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. Only two negatives I can say are the use of a few too many quick-time events and the world is beautiful, but is only skin-deep beauty. If they ever make an unlikelyI had a blast playing this game!

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

    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.

    A limp story, repetitive combat and lack of agency take the shine off a great technical achievement. [May 2015, p.64]

    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.
