The Order: 1886 Review
The first time I saw The Order: 1886 , the PlayStation 4 exclusive by Ready at Dawn, I was stunned by the presentation. This was way back at a pre-E3 event in Santa Monica last year. The 19th-century Victorian England-era setting was super crisp.
Pros:
- Easily one the best-looking games ever made
- letterbox format totally works
- Brief
- almost unnoticeable load times
- Story takes itself seriously with solid voice acting
Cons:
- Gameplay is beyond generic
- not fun
- Length of campaign overstays its welcome even at less than 7 hours
- Not much incentive to play it over

The Order: 1886 PS4 Review
The Order: 1866 is a full price retail game that last 6 hours at best, and it offers zero replay value – that certainly is a problem. The reason I am starting this review with such a statement is that it's but one single complaint of many to level against the game.

Outstanding -- Highly Recommend
This is a stunningly beautiful game. Everything about it is exceptional, especially the graphics but really everything the music the story the voice acting the character models -- just EVERYTHING. Quite possibly the best game I've ever played. I actually cried twice during this.

I didn't completely hate The Order , but I wanted to like it so much more than I did. The premise is amazing, the presentation is stunning, and the gameplay style has proven to give rise to some excellent games in the past. In this case, though, the total is less than the sum of its parts.

The Order: 1886 review – Victorian?folly
Beneath the technical wonder this is just a dull, aimless Gears Of War clone – where the attempts at storytelling are just as boring and lifeless as the action.
Pros:
- Amazing graphics, that are the best yet on the PlayStation 4
- The third person combat is relatively competent and the QTEs are some of the better examples of their breed
Cons:
- Unbearably boring from its first moments, with an underwritten script, bland characters, and repetitive and overfamilar action
- No replay value or additional game modes

The Order: 1886 Review
I'm sitting here noshing on some leftover Chinese food while the end credits for The Order: 1886 play in the background, and I'm not quite sure what to say. There's a malaise that settles in about 20 minutes into the game, a "what the hell is going on?
Pros:
- It's a real looker
Cons:
- Too much emphasis on watching over playing
- The shooting that makes up the bulk of the gameplay is dull and uninspired
- Change of pace moments
- particularly stealth
- are poorly executed
- In short: It's just not fun

PlayStation 4 The Order: 1886 THEORDER1886 review
We throw the gaming industry a lot of punches for over-franchising, but let The Order: 1886 stand as evidence that even an original IP by an up-and-coming development studio can feel just as rote as the latest Ubisoft release.

Rent it
The order: 1886 is a game for the ps4... I use the term game loosely with this interactive video. It's more like a long boring movie with an unsatisfying end to it. Sadly the cost I paid for this lame interactive movie was far to great for this.
Pros:
- Easy
Cons:
- Forced path and short

The Order: 1886
For two generations, we used to attribute the staggering beauty that The Order: 1886 evinces throughout to pre-rendered cutscenes. Now the hope is that, one day, someone will put all that time, effort, and horsepower into a decent game. Really, though, the correct term is "decent movie.
