Phenomenal graphics in The Order: 1886. This is the most cinematic looking game I've ever played. The alternate history steampunk London setting is really well done. It's fairly linear but a joy to make your way through the levels and see all the detail. The shooting itself is fairly standard third person cover shooter mechanics, but it does the job fine. I'm somewhat disappointed at the ending. It feels like they ran out of budget or time and had to end the game before they got to the end of the story.

The game itself is pretty decent. I don't have any real complaints about gameplay or the story that was told. It's a fun little 3rd person shooter with some cool science weapons to toy with here and there. What I didn't like was the story that wasn't told.

The game itself is pretty decent. I don't have any real complaints about gameplay or the story that was told. It's a fun little 3rd person shooter with some cool science weapons to toy with here and there. What I didn't like was the story that wasn't told. I felt like I got dropped into the middle of a series with little explanation as to what was going on. Then there was the ending that concludes what seemed like a side story and just stops. The main plotline just goes unresolved.

Good game! A good change of pace from a lot of other games. For me it is almost like an interactive movie. In general, I really enjoy linear gameplay and good story development, and this game delivered on that. Yes, it is short, but I am an adult with two jobs, and many other responsibilities, so I very much welcome short games these days. The gameplay was a bit stiff, I would get stuck taking cover or have a hard time moving to different spots while crouching. The shooting part was ok. I would have liked to fight more monsters, for sure. The few monster encounters felt a little bit too repetitive. Some variation here would have helped. The graphics were good. I would work on the cinematic transitions. They felt very abrupt. Definitely, this game was set up for a sequel. Unfortunately, since it got such bad ratings, I don't think we will ever see it. Bummer...

Enjoying this one! Yes, it loses its flow sometimes, with so many cutscenes and weird transitions, but I am liking it. I'm seeing it more as an interactive movie.

I don't normally go for the Platinum trophy - being more of an achievement hunter on the Xbox - but I figured this was easy enough to go for. That puts me at 5 Platinum trophies for now.

I don't normally go for the Platinum trophy - being more of an achievement hunter on the Xbox - but I figured this was easy enough to go for. That puts me at 5 Platinum trophies for now.

Overall this game was a resounding "OK". I just can't believe how generic it felt. The developers clearly went for a cinematic and story telling approach and in doing so, made a generic third person shooter with very little identity. Ironically, the story isn't that good, very by the numbers.

It's likely I'll forget about this game in time and it will rarely come up in conversation when discussing games. There have been rumours of a sequel/reboot and all I can say is that it will need to be something spectacular for people to give it any notice.

This is one of the most deceptive games of all time. Lures you in with the gorgeous graphics and promising concept, and proceeds to waste your entire afternoon with some of the dullest gameplay I've ever had the misfortune of experiencing.

I love video games so much...The Order makes a mockery of them.

Still playing this one. I've actually been going for the Platinum so I'm using a guide for the collectibles. Currently on chapter 8. I'm not sure how far through I am but it feels as if I'm closing in on the end (I have heard it is not a very long game).

Thought about buying this for 10 bucks a whole ago. Decided to pass and that very night a friend said I could borrow his copy.

Having started this, I'm enjoying it so far but I can definitely feel a formula coming out. There is also a distinct lack of melee weapons which I would have thought was a given. A whip or chain could have been used for traversal methods and added diversity to the combat.

I have heard that this is a decent enough game but a short and hard to replay game but I'm enjoying it for the cinematic experience that it is.

I'm sure "forced stealth sections that require perfection in non-stealth games" is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. It has to be by now.

Does this game offer anything special in later stages? I completed Chapter 3 but find the experience really bland. I know that it's a short game but still, should I continue?

7/10 Really good game. Maybe a little short, but good story, amazing graphics, enjoyable shootings, and a very good recreation of the 19th century. I tend to score games much lower than the average, and I am surprised to see this game not having a better rating.

Awesome worldbuilding and storytelling, ultimately dragged down by subpar gameplay and some head shakingly bad choices about quick time events. Still, would definitely play a sequel

Bought The Order 1886 cheap. Really enjoying it so far. Haven't encountered why such the middling reviews yet.

Picked this up because it was cheap and looked interesting. The gameplay is bland and forgettable, but I loved the world and story. It's a solid interactive movie with some cover-based shooting thrown in for no real reason. I hope there's a sequel. I think it's a world worth exploring.

It's a solid interactive movie with some cover-based shooting thrown in for no real reason. I hope there's a sequel. I think it's a world worth exploring. As annoying as episodic releases are, I think this could benefit from that approach. It's a tv series I would watch / play.
