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

Alright: May be slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled. ...
Greater than the sum of its parts, The Order: 1886 makes a resilient case for games where stories still take the center stage. High quality presentation is let down by average gameplay and limited player freedom....

Fantastic voice acting, Consistent, stylish visuals, A couple of really cool weapons to play with
Overlooks the best aspects of its premise in favor of boring storytelling, Every gameplay element is drab and rote, Too little of the cool stuff (guns, werewolves), lots of the dull stuff (looking at things, walking slowly)

Abstract: This is the most difficult game review I've ever had to write. Not because I lost a few of my fingers or because I don't want to upset anyone, but because I'm not entirely sure what I'm reviewing.The Order: 1886 is more of an interactive television series...

Abstract: It only took a few minutes into playing The Order: 1886 to realize just how gorgeous this game looks. But despite the wonderful visuals and cinematic presentation, the game winds up falling short of being a must-have.Developed by Ready at Dawn, The Order:...

Abstract: I've been at this for a while now. Some games come onto my radar and I am instantly intrigued and follow that game all the way to its release. Some games never pop on my radar until the very last minute, and some fall through the cracks completely. Many n...
Abstract: Do you like movies? Do you like video games? If you answered “yes” to either of those questions, you should probably skip The Order: 1886. The PlayStation 4's newest action game is a dull and lumbering thing. It's a brief, drab adventure starring a group...

The Order is, bar none, the single best looking game of this console generation so far. Nothing else on the PS4 or Xbox One is as absurdly good looking as this game...
