The Order: 1886

The Order: 1886 is a graphically stunning title bogged down by tired combat scenarios and a lackluster story.

At times, The Order:1886 feels oddly quaint, as the team at Ready at Dawn rush to catch up with Gears of War and Uncharted at a time when gamers and other developers are looking for what’s next. It’s not quite as short an experience as you might have heard and it has its merits, but anyone looking for the PS4’s elusive killer exclusive will be left high and dry once again.

The basic conflict at the heart of The Order: 1886 is that considerations for a cinematic approach are prioritized above the needs of basic gameplay. Its best aspects are its stunning looks, atmosphere, and style – which are truly fantastic – and entertaining fiction. But the shallow, slow, and generic quick-time event-riddled gameplay make it feel like an experience that would've been better served by a non-interactive movie than a game. With no multiplayer, and no reason to revisit the short and stunted single-player campaign once it’s been completed, there just isn’t a lot to it.
