However playing this "game" to the end was still fun. The cutscenes developed a worthwhile enough story and there was enough gameplay that you didn't feel bored to watch that story unfold. The gameplay was simple enough but not so simple you felt insulted. I think any person could play this game and appreciate the blend of story and game integration. The game is very short maybe 7 or 8 hours tops however the story and graphics were quite decent. On the other hand for 7 or 8 hours of simple gameplay this game should not cost more than $15 in my opinion. I honestly can't see this game being played more than once. All in all I didn't mind that this game was made even though it was so simple my only concern would be not overpaying for such a simple quick game since it has pretty much no chance at enjoying a second playthrough. At a low cost i would recommend trying this it can easily be completed in the same time frame it would be to read a book and this in my opinion is a better way for me to enjoy stories since generally i do not ever read books… Expand

    Biggest disappointment of 2015. Probably some of the best graphics i have ever seen and the story had so much promise. A fun but woefully brief shooter which is way below its value for money. Buy if you want an interactive movie.

    First technically the game is marvelous, the graphics are jaw dropping for its time, with an incredible amount of details and the world around you actually reacting to your actions in realistic ways. No bugs or framerate issues, clearly the game stands up to the expectations in this department.

    Concerning the gameplay, most of the time it's a common TPS (you go undercover shoot the enemies that are coming in front of you then go to the next area) it's not badly done, there's some nice guns but nothing is ground breaking and it lacks variety in terms of actions possible during those said fight. There's also a bit of QTE fights in the game, that are welcome to change your habit and have more cinematic fights (a good thing they picked up from God Of War).But the main complaint I have about the gameplay is the level design that is way too tight for what I want in this generation of gaming, people were okay with corridors in the PS3/360 era but now a great game must offer a minimal of space to the player.

    The story is pretty good with a nice build up, an universe appealing and clearly detailed in the mind of its creators but the awfully short 6 hours of gameplay needed to finish the game is too short even for the story itself that is not concluded at the end of the game and it's clearly yelling for a sequel, which is a bad thing considering such sequel is uncertain and I would hate to see this universe being waste just because they did a game too short because this is clearly the main issue of this game and if it would have last the required 12-15 hours for a solo focus experienced, critics and sales would have been very different in my opinion.

    So in conclusion The Order is a gorgeously short common TPS with a good story, that is fun to play for the time it'll last but not unmissable either. Considering its price now (10-15 $/€) if you're attracted to its universe or looking for a new TPS to play I'll advise the purchase, you'll not pay too much for the time its length.    … Expand

It's full of quicktime events, generic weapons (a very few have an interesting "alt" mode), extremely painful stealth sections (with a horrible sneaking and cover mechanics) and a good few collectibles that add little to the experience.

    The story is bland and full of cliche twists and turns and ends on a rather unsatisfactory way, making you wonder if this was supposed to be a prologue of some sort, and introductory chapter to a bigger, better story.

    Visuals are the high point of the game, with nicely detailed and dark toned environments of an alternative Victorian England. Another redeeming quality is the good performance from its voice actors, who had a very good delivery, despite the bland and uninspiring script.

    Overall, this is a mediocre experience. If you're still curious, I recommend you get this game cheap or try to get a friend to lend it to you.    … Expand

    I waited to get this game for $15 bucks, and I'm glad I didn't pay full price. What really gets my goat is that early on in the game there's a 2 or 3 minute fight with a pack of werewolves that is really awesome. It's spooky, it's fun, it's exciting.

    The other 99.9% of the game is an unsatisfying combination of quick-time-event battles, walking simulator, and low quality cover shooter.

    Why? Why?! did we not have a ton of more action oriented, 0 cover based combat against supernatural creatures?

    Another thing that the game does that pisses me off is it inexplicably takes away my weapons. They'll give me a lightning cannon or a thermite gun and sometimes take it way literally 2 minutes later with no reason or explanation. If you pick up a rifle you like off the ground, frequently the next cutscene will cause the game to start you over again with nothing but a pistol.

    The game seems to be actively trying to stop me from enjoying it.

    The graphics are impressive, in a sense. The draw distance, letterbox format, and fake mirrors stick out as obvious crutches that were necessary to get such a pretty game running on consoles. The visual character design and the look of the city is excellent.    … Expand

    I thought this was a very well done game, and seeing as the reviews are very mediocre here, I'm reminded that I cannot trust the reviews to find great titles. Beautiful graphics, neat story, great voice acting, intense gun fights. The only drawback is that it is fairly short. But if you get it discounted like i did, completely worth the buy.

What I didn't like about the game is the "monster" fights which were OK and not as bad as people say and only happened 2 or 3 times during the whole game. There are some QTEs but it is a cinematic experience so I can't criticize that. The story starts off slow and left me not caring about the game at all for the first few chapters but then it picks off really quick and becomes really interesting, the ending though is disappointing and leaves you with nothing. If you are looking for a cinematic experience with actual great third person shooter game play this is the game for you.p especially for its price now.… Expand

While it is a short game (5-10hrs) and may leave you wanting more (which is far better than being overly long and a chore) It has an exciting story with solid voice acting and has gameplay that is much more fun than uncharted despite the player having next to no freedom. The fact that it is such a short game, the collectibles don't offer much and there really is not any replay value make it a game certainly worth playing at a lower price. Fans of single player shooters should definately enjoy. Quality>Quantity 9/10.… Expand

Then, speaking of the gameplay, it is quiet usual, you won't find anything new, but you will not be bored since the game is rather short (about a few hours). Many people consider its duration to be the con. I don't. Maybe because I got the game almost for free and don't see the money I've given for it. In our country, people are really unhappy with the prices of games, but I think that it's wort buying and playing despite of the high cost. The story you will see will be pretty usual as the gameplay is. But there will be some thing that didn't really happen in the past, so prepare for some magic (not actually magic, but miracle)! There's no doubt that my score will be 10 out of 10. A masterpiece. A great exclusive by Sony.… Expand

    It is indeed a great game with nice graphics, sounds and story. Despite the length of story is relative short, it still give me a good time playing it. And the QTE things aren't not all bad since they mostly appear during quick action scene. What's a pity is that the story end too soon. This game may not deserve full price, but I will recommend everyone to get it after price cut.

When the corridor opens up to provide more strategy , it's really good. Although it's a steampunk kind of world, they do a really good job at making them feel authentic- like they really existed in that time. But it's still mainly an A to B corridor.

    The characters, their VO's, setting and tone are all fantastic. The game is. Absolutely. Beautiful. Probably the best I've seen. Though I'd hazard a guess that they would struggle to achieve that standard if it was more open. A lot of people said they couldn't believe the story finished where it did so I was waiting for it, but it continued passed the points it could have several times and finished on a nice platform ready for a sequel.

    I'd like to see a second game for sure, perhaps implementing a hub world. The characters and the story they've built are worthy of one. But as interesting as the world is and as gorgeous as the game is, it's still an A to B corridor with vary little variation. The insta-fail QTE's can do one 'n all.    … Expand

The story is fine, it's not totally uninteresting and the setting is great. The characters are okay, there are only a couple I actually like, but heyo. That's more of a neutral point. The gunplay is largely satisfying, with some guns feeling genuinely very powerful and fun to use. As the game drags on the combat does get rather tiresome, though.

    Time for the bad. I have a whoooole lot of big and little things wrong with this game. Let's start with the story. The elephant in the room with this game is that the story only clocks in at around 5-6 hours, and considering the game has absolutely zero replay value or side modes outside of the story, that's absolutely unforgivable for a AAA game that retailed for the price it did. Not only this, but even though the game lasted that short a time, I feel like the narrative was dragged out far longer than it should have been, by the 10th chapter (of 15, if I recall correctly) I was already thinking "is this gonna end soon? I hope it does" which is never a good sign. I will admit though it's impressive to only have 5/6 hour campaign and still make it feel like it's dragging on. Nice job, Ready At Dawn.

    Let's get to the problems with the gameplay. I did mention that the gunplay was satisfying, and while that is true, the actual gameplay sequences (including combat) outside of just walking around doing **** all until you get to your objective, are far too few and far between. In the first half of the game this is particularly apparent, with the game seemingly wanting to wrestle control from you at any point it can, with it swapping to a cutscene for the most pointless **** This game has a serious problem with interactivity and people who have played the game will know exactly what I mean. And despite the combat sequences being few and far between, by the end sequences of the game combat just becomes a chore to slog through to get to the next cutscene, and they tend to drag on for 10+ minutes at a time with enemies constantly flooding in and spawning in seemingly until the level designers got bored on placing enemies and decided to move on. The combat sections just feel rather lazily crafted most of the time because of stuff like that, and most of the sequences just feel like padding.

    A small gripe of the story, or specifically the writing is how obviously unaware the characters are of the narrative and other characters. There was more than one point in the game where Galahad (the protagonist) was told the same piece of information twice, and still managed to be confused on the second time. A glaring example of this is when we find out the reason one of the characters trusts us is because of their alliance with another character, and Galahad and the player and clearly told and communicated this, yet when the character mentions it later on, Galahad is totally ****ing befuddled by it.
    The difficulty of the game is also a glaring issue. For most of the game, the combat is unbelievably easy. Enemies can go down in a single shot if you're even slightly familiar with a controller, and the only enemies that don't are the shotgun types. The shotgun enemies are not challenging because they are well crafted, they are only challenging because their weapons are ****ing broken. At several points I had them shooting at me through thick walls and killing me in only one or two hits. Not only this, but they have an unbelievable amount of health, which makes the imbalance they have over the player that much worse. The difficulty, or lack thereof, is also a problem in the total of TWO ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL boss battles throughout the game. These two short lived battles are essentially glorified quick-time events, and even though you are forced to feel threatened by them, the actual fights are so easy that it's genuinely laughable.

    Let's talk about the bad side of the visuals though. There is only really one big problem I have. The black bars used to obscure the top and the bottom of the screen for 'cinematic effect'. Not only is this a total cop out for the lack of power in the PS4 to get this to run at a full 1080p, but it also becomes a HUGE burden on the player during combat. Working together with the absolutely tiny field of view the player gets, you are almost always completely unaware of your surroundings when in cover in combat, as the camera hangs so low and close to Galahad.

    While the controls are fine for the most part, during some combat segments the controls got in the way of me getting out of the way of harm, and when Galahad is sprinting turning is almost impossible, so I found myself more than once trying to sprint away from enemy fire only to run headfirst into the bullets and subsequently either dying or losing most of my health.

    I wanted to like this, I really did. But I really don't. 3.5/10    … Expand

It also has one of the most unique setting I have ever seen in recent years. However, besides these, most other things fall flat. Firstly, The Order: 1886 try to get many things merged into one together, but none of them were really outstanding. Cover-based shooting is okay, but generic, weapons are overpowered, AI is relatively not smart, pathetic enemy types. Its stealth also feel half-finished. and I have no idea why they even include some puzzle-solving in this game. There is some great moment found in this game, but they are very often too far between. The game also feels linear, you are often forced to do what the game told you to do. You have no choice but to do so. Labeled as a cover-based shooter I actually spent a lot of the time watching cutscenes, which is acceptable. You walk and initiate another cutscene, well I don't really like that. This is also a cinematic experience, as what RAD has promoted. Therefore they add a lot of Quick Time Events (QTE). I do believe that it can help players to further immerse into the story. However, if every action required you to press button then it become something tiring. Most importantly, I don't found playing this game fun. It is straight up boring. The campaign last for 7 hours, which is short when compared with other games in the market. For a already boring game with such length, a multiplayer option would be awesome as it can effectively extend the game's lifespan. Unfortunately it didn't has any. It is really a pity because it have a lot of potential to become a 4-player co-operative games. Even the gameplay aren't done right, the story can still saves the game. It is pretty good and quite engaging. It also has a rich back story, However, for such as a short game, the story is under-developed and there is a huge cliffhanger in the ending of the game. Disappointing. The repetitive color tone can also be a problem. It has made every places feel like the same. Overall it is Crysis 3 again, another tech demo with superb graphics and pathetic length. While Crysis 3 gets its gameplay and multiplayer right. The Order didn't. To me it is surprisingly disappointing. It's hard to believe that the creator of Daxter and God of War will make such a under-performing game. If they planned a sequel (They probably does considering that cliffhanger), I hope they can make the game more rich in content… Expand

Quizás la critica venga en el sentido que le falta algo mas de "profundidad" a la historia, y quizás con unas horas mas en el modo campaña hubiera sido mucho mejor. Otra critica es que no haya modo multijugador, ya que se habría podido aprovechar mas el juego Tiene partes en las que vas muy tranquilo y de pronto se vienen enfrentamientos muy buenos, mas sobre el final de juego. Tiene ese buen impacto de sorpresa. En conclusión, buenos gráficos, una historia aceptable, y un modo de juego distinto que por momentos entretiene.… Expand

    Ok let me say this. No game ever should be rated 0 or 1. Do you even know what a 0 rating is? It has to be an absolutely horrendous game to receive a 0. But this is not the case with The Order: 1886. The game looks and sounds GORGEOUS. Hell, it's the best looking game on PS4 right now. But it's just about that. Visuals.

Taking example from Until Dawn, if you want to make an interactive movie, give us the ability to choose paths, change the course etc. There is no replay value here and the game ends too soon. I mean it's only 6-7 hours long. If you take your time and explore the minimal world then you may extend it to 10. But that's it. It does not do anything to make you want to come back to it… Expand

    I did however expect to be entertained, and boy was I! From the brilliantly moody score, to the unbelievably eye-popping graphics, The Order: 1886 is an experience not soon to be forgotten. I was completely enthralled during my whole playthrough - which I managed to complete in one sitting. Never was I bored, never did I feel like giving up.

    Yeah sure, The Order: 1886 is not without its flaws. At times the storyline gets muddy, at times characters feel just a tad forced, and at times AI behave really stupid. Yet overall the experience was very enjoyable.

    I don't understand why people are giving this game such a bad name. The fidelity is probably the best I've seen in a game to date, and the voice acting is top notch. Level design was engrossing, even for a linear shooter. And the world was very well imagined and realised. I personally feel that Ready At Dawn did an absolutely fantastic job at bringing their alternate version of Victorian London to life, although I might've loved to explore just a bit more of it.

    Some of the scenes in the game were indescribably beautiful, such as the early morning by the docks, overlooking the Thames. Shot setup and cinematography was also very professionally executed. And yes the game is cut-scene heavy, I did however like the balance between firefights, navigating levels, cut-scenes and QTE's. I felt that as a whole it worked quite well. I did not feel that the QTE's were too many, and they merged quite well with the game, especially during the elder werewolf fights.

    If you want to be entertained, and like the idea of a steampunky, alternate, Victorian London, definitely give The Order: 1886 a go. If however massive games with unending freedom and deep RPG systems are your thing, best give The Order: 1886 a wide birch.

    All in all I am very happy that I played The Order: 1886, and it definitely reaches top-tier on my most unforgettable gaming experiences. I really hope that Ready At Dawn allows us to further venture into the world of The Order.    … Expand

I watched the little making of the game before it came out and it spoke about how they wanted the way the werewolfs changed to look realistic and that was far more interesting than the whole game, why is that i don't know. In the end i never completed the game i found myself looking at my phone more than the game and decided that i cannot be arsed wasting time off work to play a bad game. Don't buy the game, dont even borrow it, dont trade it in, just smash it up or bury it in a park it's just a **** awful game i do not recomend wasting your time on it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este videojuego es lamentable en todos sus aspectos.
    *Tiene un gameplay anticuado para la época, te obliga a jugar de nuevo a Gears of War pero sin el equilibrio entre el peligro y el triunfo que este tenia. Aquí es quédate quieto en un lugar hasta que el respawn de los enemigos deje de funcionar.
    *Los Quick Time Events son asquerosos, ni siquiera están bien hechos, el juego piensa que con solo presionar un botón vamos a sentir algo y no es tan fácil, no son épicos, son aburridos y monótonos.
    *Tiene un apartado técnico impecable(quitando los 30fps) y una ambientación "Victoriana Steampunk" increíble y por eso es una lastima que no lo hallan aprovechado, no tiene ningún pensamiento original y la historia es pésima, llena de momentos estúpidos como el que los malos resulten ser los buenos, personajes históricos mal aprovechados e innecesarios y unos hombres lobos que dan pena.
    *Su contenido, es lamentable. Se pasaría el hecho de una campaña corta si mínimo el juego sobresaliera en esto pero como he mencionado anteriormente ni en esto pasa de lo lamentable, no te da motivos para rejugarlo más que por el modo difícil y carece de multijugador (aquí no es tan fuerte la queja, pero hombre hasta una hora mas de juego se hubiera agradecido).

    The Order 1886 da pena, es una basura completamente, no se lo recomiendo a nadie, enrecio, se van a arrepentir este juego sera olvidado pero quedara como la peor exclusiva en la historia de PS4, es peor que Ryse Son of Rome, mucho peor.    … Expand

    The Order 1886 es una obra difícil de criticar, soy empático por el trabajo y esfuerzo de Ready at Dawn en el papel parece ser un título ambicioso, novedoso y divertido. Lamentablemente no cumple con ninguna de estas tres características.

    ¿Entonces este juego merece un cero? Desde ya les digo a todos NO, ninguna obra merece un cero si partimos de la base es un producto funcional pero que no cumple con nuestras expectativas. Un cero corresponde a un producto roto o directamente a una estafa, este no es el caso de The Order 1886.

    La reseña es breve tal como la duración del mismo. Esta obra nos presenta en primera instancia una historia y locación completamente original y debe ser respectada por eso. Nuestro protagonista Grayson "Sir Galahad" pertenece a un grupo selecto que trabajan a las orden de la reina y se encargan de casos que la policía no puede manejar, estaremos acompañados gran parte de la aventura por otros tres miembros de esta orden los cuales no controlaremos nunca. También habrán secuencias de exploración, tiroteos, coleccionables, luchas contra hombres lobos entre otras secuencias de acción. El apartado visual, musical, traducciones son de lo mejor que puedes encontrar en una PS4.

    ¿Entonces cual es el problema con este juego? Respuesta corta "decepciona", todos los aspectos jugables y la historia no pasan del promedio.

    Finalmente, "NO" recomiendo la compra de este juego, si existe la posibilidad de jugarlo de forma gratuita o por un porcentaje de su valor me parecería correcto. No es un mal titulo pero no encuentro una razón para recomendarlo que no sea su apartado técnico y esa recomendación duraría menos de un año, se entiende que el apartado técnico esta en constante evolución.

    Una lastima y espero que Ready at Dawn lo siga intentando porque es más loable equivocarse por intentar algo diferente que triunfar por repetir una formula exitosa y desde ya digo que contarán con mi apoyo como jugador.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego tiene una muy buena historia, la verdad; aunque bastante corta. Además su jefe final es un poco débil y aburrido para ser el jefe final. También hay que decir que para ser un juego de acción es bastante aburrido y tiene muy poca acción, puesto que la gran parte del juego es andar, andar y andar. Luego hay que decir que su variedad de armas no es un poco pobre; pero eso si, sus diseños son bastante buenos al igual que el diseño de los trajes de los personajes. La ambientación de la ciudad en buena y sus gráficos son alucinantes. Otra cosa que no me gusta son esas rayas negras que aparecen arriba y abajo de la pantalla y no se pueden quitar. Y menos mal que viene en español porque los subtitulos son pequeños y difíciles de ver.
    La verdad es que la idea de Londres es buena y clásica con respecto a los hombres lobos. Eso sí, el diseño del dirigible es muy buenos. Una cosa muy importante que afecta al juego para mal son sus largar escenas que te acabaran aburriendo. Le doy un cuatro porque para ser un juego de acción no tiene mucha acción. Tiene muy buenos gráficos, sonido, ambientación... pero entre la falta de acción, las largas escenas y sus largos y aburridos paseos por el mapa hunden este juegos aunque su historia sea tan interesante. Ademas también tiene esa nota por la falta de interacción con el medio, puesto que yo creo que ese pequeño detalle le habría venido muy bien al juego.    … Expand

Let's put it this way: the game has a beginning, a climax, but no resolution!, the story doesn't end, we are left with many unfinished and unanswered things that the game introduced that just never get resolved. On top of that while the world that the game sets-up is interesting, the characters are not and the game is filled with so many cliches that make this story just so dreadful to witness that after the "ending", you will feel ripped-off.

    PRESENTATION: The Order's presentation is the best thing about the, but it still has it's problems. First of, the game is locked at 30fps which for a supposed "new generation" is a complete rip-off, not only that, but the game also doesn't run at 1080p, so the only way the developers figure out how to make up for this problems is to put 2 giant black bars on the screen that take up 30-40% of the screen (no joke).

    The music ,just like arkham knight is only used for atmosphere, which makes it very forgettable. On the other hand, the graphics do look pretty sweet, BUT just like many other games, for some reason that i don't know they, once again sacrificed the color pallet for no reason (paradox), this leads to somethings looking very obscure and as a result some times you can't see where you're going because the game it's too ******* dark. Oh and there's Grey EVERYWHERE!!, not black because that color is not on the ps4's color pallet, but GREY!...GREY!!!.

    Plus the over amount of cutscenes make this game pretty ******* boring to play, this is more of a movie than a game, there's 127! minutes of cutscenes and 4 out of the 16 chapters are just you watching the "game"! and it's not like they're cutscenes of 1-2 minutes, NO! there's more than 4 cutscenes that are 10 minutes long!. On top of that you can't skip cutscenes! not even on repeated playthroughs (if you even want to play this **** more than 1 time), why? you may ask, simple! the game would be 4 hours long without them...that's great!, isn't it?

    GAMEPLAY: I'm not gonna bother to explain how the gameplay mechanics work, because it's just more of the same **** that we've seen over and over again (Gears of War gameplay), instead i'm going to say the "new" stuff that it has. The game has a parkour system that (no joke) is the exact same as the one that uncharted 1-2-3 have!, also the game has a "slow down" feature, but the game never tells you that, so basically all we have left is the incredible amount of quicktime events (if you even consider it as a positive), the semi-decent variety of weapons and the "recover" mechanic...when you are almost gonna die you press triangle and X a few times to stand up (That's it). This game really has nothing going for it and the gameplay gets very repetitive and boring very fast and that's just sad.

    In conclusion The Order 1886 is a BAD title that deserves every single amount of criticism that it gets, because the only thing that the game has, to save it from the 1 is the graphics, but even does have it's problems since there are a number of low-res textures. So what we are left with is a game with a confusing and underdeveloped plot, repetitive gameplay, short length, no replay value, forgettable "music", cliché characters, 2 hours of cutscenes, unoriginal ideas, over amounts of quicktime-events and dull "new" gimmicks. With that said i'll give The Order 1886 a 3/10. Oh and did i mentioned that the 2 bosses that the game has are the exact same?.    … Expand

To those who appreciated the game I salute you and I feel that is still hope yet. The game is short but anything longer would have just been filler and would have been bad for the game. The story is magnificient, MATURE. The grahics are ... well nothing less than breathtaking. That all put together created something that would for me a lasting appeal. Bottom line if you want a sandbox style game by all means go play one. I you want different experience that you will not get bored of in the first playthrough, and will probably go for a next play just cause it was that good, then by all means join the order. Always appreciate what is brought to the table and don't be too quick to judge and you might be pleasantly surprise.… Expand

    I almost feel like The Order wants to be the PS4's Gears of War – a new intellectual property by a studio known for pretty good games, and a title that can perhaps kick off a franchise. But The Order is too shallow, too simple and too familiar to be anything more than a fleeting bit of fun. I beat this game in only 4 hours, so it's not even worth it as a $20 downloadable title in my opinion.

The game has some pacing issues between each chapter and there is a lot of QTE's in this game. Those are the cons that I've experienced with the game. The pro's are that this is the most graphically impressive game I've seen on a console to date. Along with the story and voice acting are standout superb. The gameplay is good enough that it's passible but still not the greatest. The weapons/technology are so cool like the arc gun and the incinerator. This game is not the best game in the world but it has potential to make an even greater game when it's already done that. When the sequel comes along a longer story, replayability and less QTE's will be resourceful to make this a true masterpiece… Expand

    This is u unique game, and all of that in positive way.

    Whatever flaw you may read people have written about it - you can find in every game to date.

    This game at least is not pretending to be something that it isn't.

    This game has hands down best visuals ever seen in gaming world - far better than anything I have ever seen even on PC. And I am not a console player by origin.

    Story is intense, and everything in game is oriented to tell it in a action-movie kinda a way. It was done with pure perfection. Flawless.

    Transition between action scenes and pure game is so great that often you don't know is the cut scene over.

    QTE is done great with subtle signs informing you what to do.

    A.I.? Please, any game to this date has same "whack-a-mole" artificial intelligence, and we are still far from - as I recall - any real A.I. that could make up for humans as opponents.

    This game is made to enjoy it, not to look at flaws in part of the game that can't be done better anyways.

    All in all,

    Graphics, models, audio, gameplay, gamestyle, storyline, cut-scenes, setting...all 10/10

    There is not a single thing in this game that is done wrong.

    This is good way to move forward the gaming industry.

    Sorry to see such bad reviews.

    I know many games that are rated as MASTERPIECE from critics, that suffer from same issues as this game - and are not bashed for it.

    I believe developers of this game have stepped some toes or haven't done the hyping part in accordance to today standards - since that can be the only reason for underwhelming grades.

    I really suggest you try this one out.

    If you like it, buy it.

    I get why people is giving such crappy scores to this game. For me, one of the main reasons is that this game has not managed expectations properly and the marketing campaign was wrong.

    I don’t know about you guys, but before this game was released I read quite a bit about it in my videogames magazines and it was always sold as a 3rd person shooter.

    I don’t know about you guys, but before this game was released I read quite a bit about it in my videogames magazines and it was always sold as a 3rd person shooter. Well, the thing is, that for me is not a pure 3rd person shooter (let’s say as Uncharted or Tomb raider), and it was advertised as one. So yes, If you go and buy this game expecting the see the next uncharted or whatever you will be massively disappointed.
    So what is this game? I’d say is somewhere between Until dawn kind of games and Uncharted. It has a bit of Until Dawn in terms of the game being focused on a story rather than on game play. This means you’ll have quite a few cut-scenes, some of them long and quite a bit of the action is in the form of QTEs. It is just a bit like Until dawn, because it is obviously not so good at giving you choices of what to say or to do (actually it gives you none). On the other hand is a bit like uncharted, meaning you have some really good shootouts (the mechanics are really good) but then there is no plataforming at all. So summarising, that’s why I said is a bit between Uncharted and until dawn, it is none of them but something in between. The order is a story driven game, where you walk around a bit and you take control for the shooting. This means the game is not great as an adventure like game (e.g. until dawn) and not great as a shooter (e.g. Uncharted) but what’s good is very good.

    The setting is awesome and I am not talking about the graphics (and yes, they are very enjoyable). I am talking about the atmosphere as a whole. It is kind of a bit realistic, mixed with fantasy, very dark, simply a great universe. The story and the characters are good, not awesome but quite good, much better than in most thriller movies. The shooting mechanics are very well implemented; shooting feels good, and very enjoyable and using the right kind of weapon makes a difference I think.

    So yes, if you know what you’re against when you get this game, I think you’ll find it very enjoyable. If you are expecting a very specific genre (3rd person shooter) you’ll be disappointed because it is just not that. It is not a masterpiece and it is quite average as a 3rd person shooter or an adventure game but it is quite good as a weird mixture of those two genres.    … Expand

    I've never felt so sad playing a game as I did with The Order. The visuals, the design, the animations, it's top notch and I mean really the best there is. It looks gorgeous. But the game itself is so so bad that it cannot be saved by the graphics. It is unforgivably bad. I have never seen a game with extremes like that before.

It is unforgivably bad. I have never seen a game with extremes like that before.

    So what is so unforgivably wrong with this game?

    the gameplay is ... outdated. Quicktime events are ok, but not if your whole game consists of it. Basically the flow is "walk here, press triangle, walk back, press triangle", cinematic " press triangle to continue the cinematic" . That with cowboy style shooter intermezzos in which you hide behind an object and shoot endless hordes of resembling enemies. There are even explosive barrels.

    But even that might be ok, if it were solid gameplay. Instead the rules are not clear. sometimes you cannot hide behind random objects. sometimes you are not permitted to run. sometimes you can't switch weapons.

    Messing up one quicktime event results in instant death. The loading points are too scarce making you replay frustrating parts of the game over and over because of one mistake. The sneaking arae on the zeppelin is a good example of this. Not only did the game never introduce sneaking into its gameplay, the minute the enemy spots you (which is hard to figure out when that is) you get shot in the head and can start all over again.

    Which brings me to the violence that is weirdly over the top and unnecessary. Look, it's a shooter, so killing is part of the play, I get that, but in this beautiful looking game with its story about righteousness it feels so out of place to brutally murder everyone you meet, often in short scenes to show extra violence (like dramatically breaking someones neck with a loud crack, or slicing the throat to make the blood spatter). Do I HAVE to murder everyone? All the personnel on the zeppelin, were they so evil? The guy in the brothel, what did he do? The game has creepy half-bred monsters for gods sake, can't I focus the murdering on them? At a certain point in the game, after massacring whole troops of rebels in a dehumanizing fashion, the main characters ponder "what if the rebels are right?". It feels so out of place.

    Character wise the game is interesting, but the utter lack of female characters stands out, especially when one of the few women in the game has worse facial animations than the great, great majority of grey, bearded old men. The characters can get very confusing. No one gets a real introduction with a backstory and apparently in 1886 90 percent of the population was a Caucasian, bearded male lookalike. To make it even worse, they all have at least three names (Isi, Isabeau, Igraine) and to make it even MORE worse, halfway through the game one of the main characters takes over the name of another main character.

    The lack of overview shots (The zeppelin from outside? The crash?), the linearity (no you can't open this door if you haven't clicked X at the other door yet), the very tiny view frame, it all makes this game a pain to play.

    I understand that they wanted to make this a film like experience with the lack of interface, the movie viewpoint, the beautiful graphics. But they forgot that this is NOT a film. It's a game.    … Expand

    Great game, wonderful setting and story. Visual effects are really stunning. I would really like to play a sequel to learn more about the world. Indeed it's not that long, however, it's really an exciting adventure, full of events and story twists. Absolutely enjoyed it. It's a pity though that a couple of scenes repeat each other in a game this short, it would be nice to have them unique.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to rate this game higher, but the fact that the developers forced you to play it how they wanted you to hurts it greatly in my opinion. The premise is excellent and the story was written and directed pretty well, except as mentioned, they do not give the player enough choices. The visuals are excellent and I got immersed and played it straight through. I was just left disappointed at the end that I was forced into certain moves or choices. So much wasted potential. I am sure they are setting it up for either a sequel or DLC, but I don't like games that leave me feeling like this one did. Try it for yourself though, it had enough highs I may play it a second time.… 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.

    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 offers no incredibly noticeable difference in challenge across the difficulties nor does it present a trophy for beating it on any specific difficulty so feel free to play it as you see fit.

    Out of the entire run time of the game approximately half of that time is not player controlled due to the use of frequent and at times long cutscenes (similar to the presentation in most Metal Gear Solid games), at times these segments will feature small interactive QTE's to keep the player invested but otherwise offer no actual gameplay. The story is primarily told through these cutscenes and QTE's and as such they non playable segments are 100% unskippable, meaning you must watch them, all the way through, every time you play the game...

    One of the major downfalls for me was I felt the game was more or less sold as a supernatural cinematic action game, while the cinematic part is correct The Order features VERY little action and the supernatural aspect is almost non existent. The same can also be said for some of the games more unique weapons as you find yourself using the same weapons for 90% of the already short actual play time, only allowing for around 10% of hands on times with the "cool weapons". The game controls well enough as a third person shooter, but I can not stress enough that for such a minute amount of gameplay time, it should have been absolutely exceptional.

    The characters and atmosphere are the strongest aspects of the game outside of the graphics, it made me frustrated that the narrative moved away from it's supernatural elements too quickly as I felt that was the element that really could have made The Order stand out from other third person shooters or cinematic adventure games. I only hope that Ready at Dawn moves the series in a slightly different direction if the series continues and given the events at the end, I would say it's entirely possible we could eventually get a sequel.

    To actively address the cinematic ratio black bars, they did not hurt my experience with the title, nor did they provide any benefit. They meant absolutely nothing to me either way and did not effect the score of this review in anyway. The game is beautiful and well acted but none of that can change the fact it's just not very good.

    (Note: Any review under a 5 is an absolute joke and anything above a 7 is laughable and both cases should raise questions about the review/reviewers agenda.)    … Expand

The camera is sometimes terrible. Even when is absolutely linear, I did enjoy the story and I think the voice acting is pretty solid.

    I recommend it only if you want to see what your PS4 is capable to do.

The Order: 1886 is a beautiful game. The game is worth checking out for the reason alone. The beauty is not only in the wonderful character animations and textures, but also in how the levels are set up and presented. Melee animations make amazing use of the space, with the protaginist smoothly bashing heads against tables or pulling enemies over cover. The atmosphere is every bit gritty, steam punk alternative history London. There are more than a few easter eggs for anglophiles. The story is also above par for a video game, and by the end you'll feel the protagonists melancholy.

    The game play in The Order: 1886 is the obvious weak spot. Characters are animated well, but not smooth enough for top tier gameplay. For example, the protagonist turns so slowly that in one winding hallway, couldn't not turn him fast enough to prevent him from scraping against the wall. As another example, when the protagonist rejuvenates himself from near death, he rises so slowly that he will more often than not be killed instantly before you can snap him back into cover. Speaking of cover, the protagonists sticks so closely to cover when in cover mode that it takes a few seconds to pull him back out. If you were hoping to quickly sneak around some enemies, then too bad. This is outlandish considering games had all but perfected the cover mechanic in the last generation of console games.

    The worst of the gameplay mechanics are the quick time events, where you have to press the correct button in a short period of time to avoid instant death. I never like quick time events. Good gameplay falls into a flow, where the player knows what buttons to press and the rhythm for pressing them. The Order: 1886 will take an action such as a punch that is controlled with the triangle button and then make that button a square or circle in a quick time event. What should be smooth game play turns into a guessing game. The system seems arbitrary and I believe it is. The lack of forethought really shows when a quick time event is combined with moving a cursor to pre-determined target. Though I play with the Y axis inverted, the cursor mode is not inverted. The protagonists died several times because of this.

    All in all, though, the frustrations in the controls were minimial. Even the great Read Dead: Redemption had its quirky gun fights and the utterly adequate Tomb Raider reboot threw in a few quick time actions. The Order: 1886 could have greatly benefited from a standard quick time battle scheme that differed less from the regular running and gunning.

    As for the running and gunning, the first shooting aspect of this game is excellent. The guns are fun, but I note there is an option DLC to add more weapons that really should have been included in the game. The appeal of a steam punk game is to use the alternate history steam punk weapons, not using the same kinds of weapons that exist in all other games. At some point, the shooting devolves into a Call of Duty clone much in the same was as the Tomb Raider reboot. Every area has a set of chest high walls for cover, and then the enemies will regularly toss out grenades to take you out of cover. Even on easy mode, some of the enemies were a little too spammy with explosive weapons. Some battles are little more than shooting galleries, with waves of enemies to mow down from an almost fixed position. Though there are a few stealth zones, what this game badly needed was a mix of stealth and shooting.

    FYI, I picked this game up for $10 during a Playstation Flash Sale. The game is also available for $20 from many retail outlets. Thus, the this issue of price and the game's 8 hour length and lack of replayability has no bearing on this review. My playtime was almost exactly 8 hours. This is about the same as a Call of Duty or Halo. This is good and bad. The game isn't overly long and certainly is not padded. There are never any frustrating segments where you are lost on a map or have to double back for ammo. However, the heavy use of cutscenes and slow dialogue only help tell the story the first time. On a second playthrough, much of the game will be a slog, at least if you play through it again immediately. This game is another good example of why I am always in favor of new game +. And as noted, the game now costs for less than it's original $60 price tag, so the price versus hours played is not an issue.    … Expand

It is exclusively for Playstation 4 and is developed by Ready at Dawn and Sony Santa Monica. The game is set in an alternate history of London, England and revolves around a group of knights who keep the city safe from half-breed monsters. You play as Sir Galahad, who is a likable and fairly interesting lead character. The story is mostly engaging with a solid group of characters and a wonderful setting. With The Order 1886, for every pro there is almost always a con, unfortunately. The voice acting is exceptional, but the pacing is horrendous. The weapons are awesome, but the enemies are uninspired. This trend sticks out as you play through, but it’s in the back of your mind. The important thing is the fact the game is simply enjoyable to play. I kept wanting more after a few 1-hour play sessions. I am not the type to play hours at a time, so this is how I played the game. The characters, weapons and setting are what kept me going. While the premise seems to offer lots of action, this just isn’t the case. We get lots of cut scenes, which are well-acted and great, but they pop in and out too often. That is where the horrendous pacing I mentioned earlier comes in. These transitions should have been much more seamless.

    Order 3

    The gameplay in The Order 1886 is a mixed bag. While it’s nice to just gawk at the stunning graphics (which we will get to later), a game has to be fun, engaging and entertaining to be great. While The Order is fun, it isn’t something that you will be playing over and over again. The game is a mere 7 hours long for crying out loud. It’s a sprint, not a marathon. The gameplay consists mostly of walking in small corridors, button-mashing, quicktime events, shooting galleries and cutscenes. This is a very linear game that lets you look but not touch. The items you do touch are well-realized and interesting, but you can’t really do anything with them. I do like the newspapers scattered around that offer some leisure reading as you progress. The gunplay is above average, but nothing to write home about. It is not as satisfying as you might think shooting your enemies, at least not with standard guns. The more unique weapons are where the fun comes in. They are one of the best parts of the game. The enemies are about as average as it gets, with only the half-breeds being remotely interesting or imposing. Even so, when you fight them, it’s a quicktime battle. This leaves much to be desired on the combat side of things. The other enemies range from generic rebels to a couple insanely resilient shotgun wielders. Get ready for some frustrating deaths at the hands of those guys, the most terrifying thing in the game. Yes, more so than the half-breeds. I must also note that enemies have poor A.I. as they will mimic patterns over and over. This takes a lot of fun out of the gameplay.

    Order 2

    Okay, let’s talk about the game’s primary strength, the graphics. This is the best looking game to date, on any console. The Order is brimming with visual splendor. From dark, grimy alleyways and corridors to the wonderfully beautiful time pieces you come across. The setting only helps the game’s visual case. It is a unique take on London in an intriguing time period in history. From the old wood stoves and shops in the street to the tall, gorgeous historic buildings, it is a remarkable graphical feat. the characters and their costumes are all well-realized and incredibly lifelike. Facial animations are especially impressive. With an excellent voice cast, everyone truly comes to life. The lighting and water effects are incredible, along with things such as fire, stone and wood. You have to see it to really appreciate it. The music and sound design are also major pluses for the game. It all culminates for a unique audiovisual experience.

    Order 1

    If you want a cinematic, story-driven game with cool characters and an authentic, unique setting, you should definitely play The Order 1886. Even if you aren’t a fan of these types of games, I think you should still play the game once. After all, it will only take you a few hours. This was a very difficult game to review, because I was going back and forth between the gameplay, length and pros and cons. It is definitely one of those titles that will be hit or miss for gamers. It shoots itself in the foot, since it doesn’t give the player much freedom when it comes to gameplay or exploration. If you give us this beautiful and amazing-looking city we are going to want to explore and discover it! Overall, The Order 1886 is downright gorgeous, has a really cool setting and a solid story and characters. But it also has generic enemies, linear gameplay, a confining environment, divisive quicktime events and horrible pacing issues.    … 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.
