    Its 4/10 to me (i got i for 10€) cause the game is way too short and lineal, gunfight are not fun and too easy (even on the higher difficulty) cliffhanger knowing that you game sucks was dumb... but the story the characters the graphism are awsome ! Its not worth 60 bucks but for 10 bucks its perfect

    One of those half a movie half game type experiences. Loaded with cut scenes and scripted BS with QTE and the like. Oh gawd just no to those awful QTE. The third person cover shooting was kind of jank. As in terrible cover angles with poor lines of fire and really inaccurate weapons. Compounded by the creators making things to shoot at intentionally blurry even at a short distance. I likeOne of those half a movie half game type experiences.

I like the overall story and if it wasn't for that keeping my interest then I wouldn't of stuck around just on gameplay factor alone. Sucks as a game, but ok story and ok characters to get invested in.… Expand

    Great game and love that it doesn't take weeks to complete and there is no grinding to level up. Hope they make a sequel to the game.

    Loved everything about this game. Perfect combination of story and gameplay. The atmosphere, era and characters all made this the perfect thriller. The best part was nogrinding, repetitive missions and it doesn’t take 84 years to complete. This game deserves a sequel, it was and still is one of my favorite games.

    The Order: 1886 es uno de los juegos más infravalorados solo por un detalle en la que "la crítica" coincide y es la duración del juego (10 horas a más si vas por coleccionables, algo que cazadores de trofeos aprecian).
    Las horas de juego actualmente es una de las cosas que le preocupa al gamer promedio, cuando antes no importaba ese detalle, solo era un dato mas no algo a tomar en cuenta para una calificación justa. Antes habían juegos que tenían una duración similar y no les bajaron la nota por eso, los calificaron justamente como obras maestras.
    The Order: 1886 es un juego bello en el apartado técnico, con un buen manejo del sonido, unos gráficos impresionantes y una trama muy bien estructurada y desarrollada.
    Sin duda una víctima más del modismo actual de los videojugadores y de la prensa amarillista.
    Espero que este juego tenga una continuación por lo menos en PS5 y que le pongan unas horas de juego más (aunque caigan en el relleno de la trama absurda como muchos juegos actuales) para que esta comunidad cancerígena deje en paz a juegos que sí le dieron calidad a cada minuto de juego sin pasar por el relleno.

    The fact this game wasn't pulled from store shelves is actually outstanding, this isn't a finished product it's literally a tech demo and not a good one, the story just ends at the moment where it should just start, the ending is very anticlimactic.As for the gameplay, well it's not bad nor is it great it's just so mediocore it's not interesting enough to continue playing.

    El juego es muy aburrido, pierde accion en partes esenciales de la historia, la mecanica de monstruos es buena pero en este juego es un poco mas de desastrosa, ademas que la campaña dure entre 7 a 5 horas no ayuda al juego. Diria que lo rescatable del juego son los graficos y un poco sus personajes.

Además, cuenta con uno de los apartados gráficos más imponentes de la generación, algo extremadamente meritorio ya que salió recién comenzada esta.

    altogether it may have some buggy points and gets a little overkill with the quick time events overall would say its a very solid game. On a graphical note this game is far ahead of most things being released in 2018, absolutely stunning to look at, and well worth a play through.

I love the steampunk weaponry and the Victorian London setting and aesthetic. There's plenty of good, and some frustrations. Nothing i'd say is strictly "bad" - maybe the length, it's far too short.

    While I prefer a first person perspective, for the most part, this game uses the third person very well. I never feel like it's a hinderance to my view or anything. The graphics are excellent - I'm not one to base much on visuals, but this game is impressive. The firefights are mostly excellent. What I really love is that this isn't one of those annoying games where enemies take unrealistic damage. Headshots take guys out immediately, which is satisfying. The various weapons are fun.

    Are you a fan of "quick time events"? I'm on the fence: I don't think they're evil but I recognize that they also sacrifice control in the name of a more cinematic experience. The QTEs can pop up with no notice and it's very easy to miss your marks. But then it's also very quick to restart the game if you mess up.

    The Order is NOT an interactive tour de force: stuff looks great, but you can interact with precious little in the environment. Search a room, and find the few hotspots scattered around. Again, I'm not sure where I land on this. On the one hand it's almost refreshing to have a game where you can't grab every minor object in sight. Of course the game is very linear because of this - you're not really choosing your path, you're following the only path available, and there's a minimum of other stuff to get you sidetracked.

    Still - if you buy this game for a good price then I feel it's very much worth it. I had fun, and I find the combat fun enough that I'm replaying it. There's a lot that could've been done better in this game - or, let me rephrase that - perhaps more could've been done to open up the world for exploration? I don't know. Every game is a sandbox these days. Having a game that just pushes you through the story isn't necessarily bad.

    As you can see, even in my "enthusiasm" for this game I'm kind of wishy-washy. I like The Order: 1886. It is a fun, solid premise for a franchise that never got off the ground. Perhaps it's a bit old fashioned, not being an open world sandbox. Many games only give you the impression of freedom, and maybe that's one of the problems - The Order tells you where to go and what to do next - there's not much else you can do other than move on to the next plot point.

    While enjoyable, this game was a missed opportunity. It could've been so much more, and it's a shame that this didn't get off the ground as a franchise. I can totally see why gamers didn't flock to a 5-7 hour, cutscene-heavy adventure. But there is a certain charm here, if you're willing to look past some of the shortcomings.    … Expand

    I'd like to address one of the most damaging criticisms of this game: that the game is the prelude to something better and ends on a cliffhanger. In fact, this criticism put me off bothering to complete the game until today, despite having bought the game at release. But it's simply untrue.

In fact, this criticism put me off bothering to complete the game until today, despite having bought the game at release. But it's simply untrue. If you were expecting "and they all lived happily every after", then yes you might be disappointed... but the story in fact closes in the most logical way, given the direction it was heading. It does leave open the possibility of a follow-up, but by no means demands it.

    With that out of the way, I really enjoyed the game, despite its obvious shortcomings. Besides the astonishing graphics and motion-capture (which still haven't been bettered on PS4), the story was original and the lore rich enough to allow me to enjoy the slower sections of the game. Some of the weapons were really fun to use and the combat against human AI was always enjoyable. The voice acting was solid, and the music is possibly one of the highlights... I ended up getting the soundtrack album.

    In terms of story and replayability, it is no more linear than Uncharted, and I will certainly be going back to play it again to get the trophies I missed, perfecting my combat (I managed to finish the game without even being aware of the "Blacksight" skill) and trying the harder difficulty setting.

    I was really only disappointed with the fact that there were too many quicktime sections for their own sake, and some where missing them did not affect the consequences. Also, although I was happy with the length of the game, I don't consider it value for money at its original price. If you can pick it up for around £20/$20, I think that's about right.    … Expand

So annoying and repetitive, you wish there were even less. Also has one of the worst stealth segments I’ve ever seen. And sudden QTEs to check that you didn’t fell asleep during the non-skippable non-interactive cinematic segments. Has QTE boss fights too, feeling like something you have done countless times already. There’s no real resolution to the story (which is kinda dumb), ends abruptly and feels like a first chapter of a much longer game which I don’t really want to see. Too bad, they could probably make something much better with these characters, setting and engine(which only looks good because it renders almost monochromatic picture full of instanced objects at < 30 FPS without anisotropic filtering in a reduced screen area thanks to those huge black bars).
    Seen it being compared with MGS, but it is lightyears away from mainline MGS games by the amount of content, gameplay features and the quality of the story. It only deserves to be compared to crappy FMV CD-ROM games from early 90s.
    A score of 5 or 6 would probably be more fitting, as it is still nice-looking & somewhat playable, but I decided to give it highest possible "negative" score, because my opinion is anything but mixed. I don't want more games like this one to be made, sorry. A huge waste of people’s time, money and of development talent.    … Expand

    Its a standard third-person shooter but nothing really comes to mind.

    What did you think of the story?

    The story itself is historical fiction and revolves around a secret historical order.

    Favorite Character?

    I was actually a little too excited that Marquis de Lafayette. He was a Frenchman who came over and helped the United States in the Revolutionary War. For all he did, he’s very underappreciated and I thought it was really cool.

    Would you play it again?

    No, probably not but if they do make a sequel. I will certainly play it.

    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.
