The prime example of how graphics aren't everything. In other words, style over substance.

Here we have yet another attempt to be a movie-video game hybrid, this time from Ready at Dawn. Only about half of the game is actual gameplay, the rest is very long cutscenes or long stretches of the… Read more

The Embodiment of Average

You don’t have to do a lot of walking until you reach the first of many cutscenes in The Order: 1886. There’s not a lot time between them, and most of the interim is spent walking, pick up items and t… Read more

This game looks great for sure, yet it falls back too much on its production values.

When the PS4 was released one of the games that was heavily hyped coming for the system was The Order: 1886. I remember being quite intrigued by the game's presentation. The screenshots did look amazi… Read more

Great looking graphics does not make a good game

The Order: 1886 calls back to Uncharted: Drakes Fortune in a few ways. They are both graphical powerhouses and they both have only like 3 enemy types for the entire game. But the biggest divergence is… Read more

Do not stray from the beaten path

You walk down a long hallway, a linear path if you will. It’s a nice looking hallway but you feel its missing something, maybe you could try going through one of these doors, there are many doors in t… Read more

The Order: 1886

The Order: 1886 offers little nuance or creativity to an old formula, just a fresh coat of paint. The Order: 1886 might be the best looking game I’ve seen running on a current generation console. The… Read more

A game that tries hard however with over egged ideas and struggling ideas falls very short.

The Order 1886, is one of these games which is both interesting to experience however suffers from tedious game play, a boring cast of characters and a mix mash of game play styles, what could have be… Read more

Short but sweet

I think this is probably the best looking game I've ever played, the characters, environment and lighting were all amazing. The story was interesting and well acted, though it was absolutely too short… Read more

From the Bench: The Order - 1886 "The Order is a stereotypical supermodel; gorgeous in close-up, but dangerously thin."

Ever since the YouTube video showing what was supposedly a five and a half hour play through of The Order: 1886 was posted, a lot of ink has been spilled debating the relationship between length and v… Read more

Short, but very fun & great looking/sounding experience - and I loved the story/setting! Worth playing for anyone @ $30

Short (took me 12 hours, but I played on hard, replayed battles I liked a few times, and definitely took my time absorbing the atmosphere - most will get 8-10 hours out of it, I'd wager), but very fun… Read more

The dawn of a new order

Before I start my review let’s just get one thing clear: I like story-driven games. In fact I love story-driven games. Even though most games have disappointing endings to their stories the question o… Read more

The Order 1886 Review

Throughout the last console generation, first party published Playstation 3 exclusives kept that console afloat. They were the reason why the PS3 was my preferred console and it was a rarity for any o… Read more

"The Order stands not as any sort of failure, but as the very definition of a tragically flawed video game."

REVIEW: The Order 1886 [PS4] Written By Tyler Pederson Sometimes reviews come easily. Often, I finish playing a game and have concise feelings on it, can put that to paper, and go from there. When I f… Read more
