The Order: 1886

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
