    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.

    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.
    Story is very good and the amount of cutscenes just works

    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.

    Well, I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I had to drag myself away at Chapter IV, the quality of The Order is truly exceptional.

I finally got to be immersed in a Victorian world and it lived up to my expectations fully. At one point I found myself wondering how much longer a gunfight was going to last, but that's my only nit-pick. 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.

    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.

    A masterpiece of modern gaming. Expertly combines cutting edge visuals, atmospheric and intense audio, with fun, punchy and violent shooting gameplay, great story and interesting characters.

When replaying the game (if you just want to reexperience the gameplay) you can simply select any checkpoint from the main menu, allowing you to indirectly skip cutscenes if you don't want to watch them again. The best next generation game so far, and one that every single player gaming lover should support. Expand

    What a fantastic game I absolutely love it and glad I did not take the reviews into consideration and could establish myself that the order 1886 is a great game and one worth playing.
    The game is insane the graphics is the best I have seen to date the gameplay is fantastic and the story is immersive and intense. 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.
    The Order 1886 is a brilliant game developed by phenomenal studio and I cannot wait to see what ready at dawn gives us as a sequel

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. All backed up by some of the best audio visual work ever done for a video game. It's worth owning a PS4 just for this and I pray the sales are good enough for a sequel. Expand

    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.

    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.

    Things like this deserve to be rewarded!

    I feel the need to write a review on this game because I love it so much and most of the reviews are so bad that I'm actually really mad at how people use reviews today.

If people can't wait for reviews and throw their money at developers before the game's out... well, bad luck if the game is not what you expected.

    Now to the game.
    First of all I don't really care about graphics in terms of technology. I'm just happy if the game looks gorgeous and The Order certainly does. It's one of the most beautiful games ever created. 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.

    I have just finished the game. Man it was awesome. It's like Van Helsing. I loved it so MUCH!! The story, graphics, gun mechanics and gameplay. Everything was superb! And the ending? I just can't wait for the sequel! It didn't even feel short to me.

    A great game with an awesome immersing experience. I recommend it despite all the slanders this game is receiving unjustly. Please, don't listen to the haters and enjoy a very mature and deep adventure.

    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.
