The Order: 1886 review
Set in an alternate Victorian steampunk era, The Order: 1886 bundles werewolves, Jack the Ripper and Arthurian legend in with a load of wood-handled, high-tech gadgets and empire-era mock-futuristic weaponry.

I will start off by saying unfortunately a lot of what you may have read is in fact accurate. While The Order: 1886 is a graphical masterpiece it has far more in common with titles released by TellTale Games than it does third person shooters like Gears of War.

The PlayStation 4 (PS4) has had a year of up and downs in India and it's still to have a monster hit along the lines of last generation's fantastic Uncharted series of games, or The Last of Us.

The Order: 1886 ( PlayStation 4)
The Order: 1886 is a beautiful and impressive technical achievement, but it's also chock-full of frustrating control issues. Odd pacing and a less than compelling storyline don't help either.
Pros:
- The Order: 1886 is one of the best looking games around
- Its fantastic dramatic performances are matched with a beautifully realized alternate vision of Victorian London
Cons:
- There are some frustrating issues with The Order's controls and the game's lengthy cutscenes and breaks in the action are jarring

The Order: 1886 review
Most of the shooting is done with yer bog-standard pistols and rifles, but there is some exotic weaponry to play around with. The Order's beguiling version of history has them casting renowned electrical engineer Nikola Tesla as the Knight's armourer.

PlayStation 4 The Order: 1886 THEORDER1886 review
Its lack of trust in the player is best expressed in the The Order’ s dramatic final scene (no plot details ahead). As Galahad holds his antagonist’s life in his hands, the player is prompted to pull the trigger.

The Order: 1886 Review
If I were reviewing The Order: 1886 as a movie, I would note its slick, gorgeous cinematics and its solid acting. Then I'd tear it down for its formulaic archetypal roles and for being held together by several pieces of stringy plot.
Pros:
- Gorgeous graphics
- Seamless integration between cut scenes and in-game play
- Innovative weapons
Cons:
- Boring shooting gallery-style combat
- Cool weapons not used nearly enough
- Little to no replay value
- Predictable, clichéd story

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
