    Gaming journalism is a complete sham. 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 isGaming journalism is a complete sham. 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

    My only problem with this game is that it left me wanting more, graphically is the best game I've ever seen, art direction is perfect and the characters are really believable thanks to the the facial animations and the stellar voice cast, the gunfights are fun and engaging, stealth sections are sort of the worst part but are few.

    In point form:
    - Some of the reviews on the low end of the scale are overly harsh.
    - Possibly the most gorgeously presented game you will see in a long while.
    - The game has a very cinematic presentation that will likely divide people.

I'm hoping for an action scene including a steam train, but I reckon that is likely the stuff that a sequel will bring along with it.

    I can't understand what the majority of all the professional reviewers were so disappointed about. Perhaps it is because they hurried through things, trying to meet a deadline so missed the point.    … 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.

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

The cut scenes are long but they are nice to watch and I really don’t mind them at all. As for the QTE these are awesome I love games that takes advantage of the QTE this just adds uniqueness to the game.
    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. The user reviews giving this game anything below 5 don’t know a good game when they see it.

If you want a game with a great focused story, truly memorable characters you root for and movie quality tension and action set pieces look no further.

    First 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 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

    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.

The art style and the color palette is just awesome. The Order is one of the most immersive experiences I had in a while and the story is really thrilling. I don't really care that there is no freedom of choice and that the player doesn't get rewarded with something like collectibles because that's not what The Order tries to be good at. The Order is a immersive, intense, interesting and unique, linear experience. That's the core of the game: It's cinematic presentation and that's what I was looking for.
    If you don't like these type of games than please don't buy them and if you did because you were impatient then don't write a review about something you generally don't like.    … Expand

The Order 1886 has the best graphics I have ever seen in a video game. I cant believe its a game every time I look at it. the story was just as interesting to me as the last of us and so are the characters. every single charter brings their own flavor to this game, such as Galahad who is a badass who is always trying to the right thing no matter what it takes or Marquis with his French sayings and all. now for the gameplay itself, the shooting is nothing new but feels polished. the quick time events I hade no problem with and actually everyone complains about how the you have a quick time event for the boss fight but guess what I would rather have that then shooting a boss battle for 5 hours. overall this is one of the greatest games ever and one of the best stories I have been told. its tied with last of us for the best playstation exclusive ever and is definitely the best time I hade on the ps4 so far and might be ever.… Expand

I am quite happy that the developers didn't do another open-world 3rd person action game which leaves you loitering aimlessly after the first hour of gameplay; or an FPS with a sub-par multiplayer mode tacked on.

Apparently criticasters were expecting a true innovative gameplay experience where the developer never promised any. Yes there are a few QTE battles in there but not as much as people like others to believe. And the next complaint many people have is the overall +/- 7 hour playthrough. It does sound short, but it's about 7 hours of pure quality, story-driven immersion. Compared to certain other titles such as Dragon Age: Inquisition and Shadow Of Mordor which supposedly offer a much longer playthrough experience this doesn't sound like much, but in either of those games (and many others) 95% of the game is completely made up of filler quests and objectives just to reach a certain level to reach your end-game, overall the true valuable gameplay combined those campaigns offer much less hours.

    I probably enjoyed playing this game more than I've enjoyed playing any video game since The Last of Us.

    People are bashing the game for it's length and lack of replayability. Well. It clocks in at roughly 6-7 hours. Unless you're speedrunning it. But if you're speedrunning it you're missing out on a beautifully crafter a detailed world deep with lore and built with love.

    Graphics 10/10: The graphics in this game amazing. Best looking next gen game to date. It manages to make even The Last of Us Remastered still look last gen despite it's graphical update. Every little detail in the environment is covered and the facial expressions of the characters show every little emotion they're feeling.

    Sound 10/10: The music and sound effects are spot on. The voice acting is INCREDIBLE. Especially given that they used a bunch of a nobodies. You won't see big names like Nolan North or Troy Baker or Jennifer Hale in this game. Hopefully these people get more work.

    Gameplay 10/10: Holy crap it's a completely unbroken, functional, polished game. Something that doesn't seem to get mentioned in any of the negative reviews. I didn't encounter a single bug during my entire playthrough. Movement and gunplay felt smooth and real and not jerky and clunky like it can in some games. Also the melee is thoroughly satisfying.

    Story: This is where the game really shines. This game is not afraid to have a deep and compelling story full of interesting characters that you want to know more about and the world they live in. If you've played games like the Metal Gear Solid series than you'll be okay since some of the cutscenes can last upwards of 10 minutes. But it's not 10 minutes of meaningless exposition. It's a full 10 minutes filled with story that SHOULD be there. They literally could not have cut down on the cutscenes and had the story remain nearly as good as it was.

    In conclusion, don't believe the negative reviews about the game. The lack of multiplayer lead to a higher focus on the single player experience and they nailed it. Easily one of my favourite games right next to Alan Wake and The Last of Us. Even if you don't want to buy it borrow it from a friend who did. You'll thank yourself for it. This is what video games should be. Vehicles to create worlds and tell stories. Not day one paid DLC riddled husks that are obvious attempts just to make money from the hapless consumer.    … 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 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%.

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

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

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

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

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.

Is it as bad as they say? Absolutely not!… 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. I already saw them less than a day ago, I'll have to wait a week or more to forget them so watching them again won't be that boring.

    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

Playing on the default difficulty setting was enough challenge to keep me interested and I'm really excited to try on a harder mode. The game doesn't take long to beat especially if you play it consecutively like I did, but it was still worth it to me as I am not done playing this game, going for all the trophies. But the best thing about the game is the story which breathes life into this game, ( involving conspiracy, politics, betrayal, the supernatural and even a bit of a love story ) character depth, and the visually in-depth surroundings. The game is subtle in many ways, not sure how else to describe that. I like how the game incorporates real people and events in history into the story, helps to submerge you more into that time era. it's hard to think of a game to compare this to but if you appreciate a great story told well and are open minded with the types of video games you play, you should definitely try this! It's kind of similar to the Walking Dead series, in the sense that it relies more on artistic approach, conflict and the deep emotions involved. They do not have hundreds of weapons to choose from, as they where trying to give the game an element of realism, among other things. It is not like Destiny, Borderlands, Far Cry or any other action/shooter games. It's not meant to be flashy. The creators had a vision with this game, and I think they succeeded. Also judging by the ending, there could be a sequel. I am keeping my fingers crossed for this one!… Expand

    An engaging, unique and thoroughly exciting thriller.

    The Order 1886 has been copping a lot flack by reviews, I would like to pint out a few things to help YOU decide if this is a game for you... If you prefer constant action, gameplay and the bullets flying (and that is totally cool btw) then you need not keep reading, go play Call of Duty or Gears of war. However if you enjoyed    An engaging, unique and thoroughly exciting thriller.

    If you prefer constant action, gameplay and the bullets flying (and that is totally cool btw) then you need not keep reading, go play Call of Duty or Gears of war.

    However if you enjoyed games like Heavy Rain, The Walking Dead and Life is Strange but also love a bit of third person action then this a game you will want to check out.

    ready at dawn have created a wholly unique piece of gaming art, it is completely story driven- with a lot of QTE's splashed around that don't feel lazy- they help progress the story, as this is exactly what the game has set out to be- a long, cinematic period movie.

    The story itself is full of mystery, intrigue and lore with amazing characters who you come to truly care about by the end of the game.

    The graphics are stunning, almost life-like in parts but it is the atmosphere and progression, just like a film that really got me engaged.

    I see The Order: 1886 being seen as a 'fail' by mainstream audiences, however I also see this as a cult classic for the niche market of gamers who enjoy a great tale of history and revenge.

    I am giving a perfect 10 because for what it is, that is exactly what the game deserves. It is epic beyond words.

    Again, I can not stress enough if you are looking for an action title, best save your $$.
    But if you are willing to try something new, have an open mind and are not bogged down by the pretty unfair negative press you will be pleasantly surprised by what i would call a masterpiece of cinematic gaming.    … Expand

The Order is a true next gen experience that Sony has provided for all of us, along with the talent at Ready at Dawn. This is for the game lovers, this is for the people just entering next gen, this is for those who want a TRUE next gen cinematic experience. This...is 4 the players.… Expand

    The hate this game is receiving is disgusting. In my 20 years of gaming, I have never seen such a vicious act of hate, trolls and biased reviews towards a new IP. And this has been on since day one. I wonder what people get out of bashing The Order? If this game had been multiplatform, a couple hours longer and couple pf QTE`s lighter, people would have been praising it through the roof.The hate this game is receiving is disgusting.

    The game is good. It is really really good. If your`e a fan of story driven games in the vein of Uncharted, The Last Of Us, Heavy Rain and TellTale`s The Walking Dead, you`re in for a treat. everything works great as a whole in this game, and everyone has to remember, it`s a new IP. Everything will be bigger and better in the next installment. I hope there is The Order 1887 in the horizon, despite some petty people trying to ruin everything.

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

    Game is engaging, beautiful and interesting. Steampunk/werewolf setting is cool, graphics wonderful. Story and voice acting is top notch. Shooting mechanics solid. Though a little cutscene and QTE heavy, it's still a pretty good game for those who like games like The Last Of Us and Heavy Rain for example.

    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.
