The editors liked
Unbelievable graphics
Compelling though cliche-packed story
Solid shooting with some brilliant weapons
It's a real looker
Lovingly crafted alternate Victorian London
Interesting concept and generally clever storytelling
Sky-high production values
It's undeniably pretty – There is no getting around it
The game does look very nice
The story starts well – Ok that's about as far as it gets
But there is remnants of a good idea that could be salvaged in the sequel
Good voice acting – The dialogue
Looks gorgeous
Deeply atmospheric
Fabulous steampunk gadgets
Weapons and general vibe
Pleasing storyline and characterisations
The editors didn't like
Too reliant on quick-time events
Frustrating insta-fail stealth
Restrictive and unimaginative gameplay
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
Ends too soon and with no closure or satisfaction
Very linear
No multiplayer or replay value
Lazy devs
This is a tricky one without spoiling the game
But there is a fight early in the game which is then replicated later on. You could also apply this to the lycan interactions. Every time is the same
Empty streets – Where is everybody? AC
Unit
Far too many quick time events
Cutscene heavy
Third-person shooter gameplay lacklustre compared to its peers
Doesn't make the most of its best ideas
Totally wasted environments offer no interactivity

Lazy devs: This is a tricky one without spoiling the game, but there is a fight early in the game which is then replicated later on. You could also apply this to the lycan interactions. Every time is the same, Empty streets – Where is everybody? AC:Unit
Totally wasted environments offer no interactivity, Cover shooting is static and repetitive, Too rigid to fight out of cover effectively, Constant patronising tutorial popups, QTEs in the cutscenes, Only available on PS4.

The Order: 1886 is a potentially great game let down by average gameplay and a short lifespan. Although you would have to be masochistic indeed to whizz through the game in five and a half hours as some internet alumni have – seven to eight hours is...

The best and creepiest scene involves tracking a werewolf through an abandoned hospital If it sounds like I've really taken against The Order, that's not entirely the case. I enjoyed it quite a lot while I played it - I like the characters, the presentat...
