Kinda short but definitely not bad
srukm22 November 2018
This game isn't bad like many would have you think. Actually, the sole reason I bought it was to see if all the naysayers were right.

They weren't.

The game is visually gorgeous, set in a beautifully crafted industrial / steampunkish London with a set of interesting characters, superb voice acting and an arsenal of interesting weapons. Some characters could definitely use more character development, or more screen time, but that's nothing to mope about.

People often complained about the shortness of this game, and the lack of action. While it is true that the game is a bit short, the lack of action is 100% not true. I just played through the the game and witnessed with my own eyes how action packed it actually is. Honestly, the calm moments where people would just talk and sort things out were sometimes over far too quickly for my taste, so I find THOSE moments lacking, not the action.

Other minor issues I had with it is the lack of lycan / half breed encounters. I hoped to see them more.

In short, don't listen to the negative criticism (especially when they give a 4/10 or lower rating score) and certainly give this game a try. It's interesting, and sets the stage for a possible sequel, which I hope we'll all get to see.

Victorian beauty

This game is underrated just because it's short in comparision of the anticipation it had, can't ignore the revolutionary graphics, in addition to the story including a great protaginist and characters, guns and shooting mechanics, creatures and moments, the sequel would've been something big but won't happen duo to unexplained hate.

I liked it for what it was (but i knew exactly what i was getting into)
85122214 July 2018
Greetings from Lithuania.

I just finished "The Order: 1886" (2015) after i picked it up for 3.99 USD couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, i knew exactly what this game is before buying it. I'm truly feel sorry for those who bought this thing upon its release and paid 60 USD for it, by not knowing that his game is basically one of the most emptiest games there ever was.

Sure "The Order: 1886" has amazing graphics, a good cover shooter mechanics, nice sound design and a pretty good story. Is that makes for a great game? In this game's case - definitely no. There isn't anything that will ever will want you to come back to this game after you finish it in like 7 hours - this is how long this game takes to beat. The ending was highly abrupt and simply unfinished, and besides of cover shooting and some pictures seeing - you will literally won't have what to do in this game - its a beautiful empty picture.

Overall, i liked "The Order: 1886" as a highly basic cover shooter that looked like a movie. Other then that, there is nothing in this game that will hook you up. Like i said, "The Order" is a beautifully looking empty picture, nothing more - nothing less.

Why the hate?
carlfxy-368408 June 2018
This game is great. I thought it was well structured and I never thought it was short. Hope there is a sequel. Combats great, shooting mechanics are good and so is the story and graphics. I'm not complaining and hope there's another.

This game is a visual masterpiece.
ryanpaul4523 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Do not let the spoiler warning scare you, there is only a very small minor spoiler.

First, I'll start by saying this game had me sold when I first saw the reveal game-play sometime ago. I have been waiting in anticipation for this game since then. Now that It has released, I was not let down. However, just like every game, movie or show, it has its pros and cons.

The developers being able to use the same character models in game and in cut-scene made the game feel like you were watching a movie. That was a risky move, but the game executed it beautifully and it doesn't take away any feel of a video game at the same time. Third person shooter, amazing weapon choices, bad ass fight sequences. Gameplay 10/10.

I am one who plays a game for the story aspect. That's why I own a PlayStation. Their exclusives never fail to amaze me with an amazing story. The Order has a great story to it. And I'll admit it is a little slow getting in to it. But after a few chapters, it picks up and it gets really good. I can't say the same about the ending. There were still a few questions unanswered, and the character development was mainly focused on one person (You), and the ending felt a bit rushed. Story 8/10.

Still, There is a post credit scene that makes up for it a bit, but that's about it. Overall I thought 'The Order: 1886" was a great game, amazing graphics and visuals, impressive game-play and over all a fun adventure. 9/10.

It showed off what the PS4 was capable of from a visual standpoint.
Analog_Devotee3 August 2021
Visually, this game is a masterpiece. As far as the story and gameplay... well, it's nothing to call home about. At the time of release, many of us speculated that this was simply to show off what the PS4 was capable of. I don't hate, but I didn't enjoy it enough to ever go back and play it again. It was a good one-playthrough type of game.

Amazing experience
kopayuyu13 March 2017
Literally no game has ever looked this good. It's strange to even write that, but The Order: 1886 raises the bar so far above its contemporaries that it stands in a class by itself. Joined by a soundtrack that perfects the mood, The Order is a cinematic masterpiece.

Amazing, wishing there was a sequel.
team_allan20 July 2021
I'm late to the party. But just recently played and finished this over the weekend. The game is incredibly enjoyable, engaging storyline and characters. Wish the game was longer but for the size it gives a great story and gameplay experience. Wish there was a sequel.

This is what immersive games are about
andrewpeel20 March 2022
If you're into totally immersive games with characters you end up caring about this is a great game.

It's got a great twist on some old themes in video games. It was only about £15 when I got it on the PS4 recently well worth the money.

Rubbish

Warning: Spoilers
Bad content as is 5 hours long. 2 hours are cut scenes, 1 hour is walking around and only 1 hour of kicking some ass and no real meaning to this game. But is does have the best graphics I've seen in a while. Shitty game, great graphics so so story yet the story only comes around in the beginning and the end. Don't buy this Game get Dying Light.Bad content as is 5 hours long. 2 hours are cut scenes, 1 hour is walking around and only 1 hour of kicking some ass and no real meaning to this game.

Ammmmmazing
aljason-149068 October 2019
This is one of the best games I ever played and I have been gaming since atari times. What not to like, the amazing soundtrack, game play, graphics, the sacrifice of Melory wehre you need to follow his steps to find the truth, or the beautiful twist of the storyline where actually working for the villains and don't know. People just want to criticize everything! I wish the make a second part of this game. The ending show there is a possibility for a second part. But thanks for your critics they won't!

The game sacrifice its gameplay for the graphics.
Master_Strange26 February 2021
If you're looking for intensely deep gameplay, a super long campaign, or a highly interactive world, you may come away a bit disappointed. However, those looking for a cinematic action experience with top of the line graphics, excellent world building, characters and story will find much to like. Sadly, the game sacrifice its gameplay for the graphics, because the length of the campaign is just 6 hours including the cutscenes and most of the time you need to put your controller down and watch it.

It Almost Feels Like You're Playing A Game.

This is probably the longest demo I've ever played.

An interactive movie...
Calicodreamin1 July 2020
Not a bad storyline, but where does the video game part come in?! Most of the game was cutscenes with occasional button pushing. Some of the missions were difficult and interesting, but far overshadowed by storytelling.

Not worth the money
ghansbane17 May 2015
I expected better the magazine scores were high, but personally it didn't feel like a Game it felt like a demo. I was waiting the whole time for the game to start. It just didn't go anywhere. The graphics were top notch and i was expecting to just turn around and have something make it better make it work. The sneaking parts added nothing and had no effect on the game as a whole. The story was really too good for the game but i kept wanting more and it became predictable the deeper you went. There was no point in which i was excited or enthusiastic about playing. The only truly good thing was the character design with some people i wanted to spend more time beside them. I did enjoy the scenes that had Tesla in them it was a great addition to background story.

the game has failed to satisfy
tahaaktay28 January 2021
Not a bad game, but most of the scenes are very boring and the game process is very slow. Some of the tailing and walking at the starting of the missions makes the game even slower. The storyline is boring and the game is so short you can finish in some hours. The graphics are great for that time but even the most enjoyable part doesn't make any sense with the graphics.
