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

Abstract: The PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order 1886 is out and it looks incredible, but does the setting and game-play match the graphical gloss?When we spoke to Dana Jan and Garret Foster from developer Ready At Dawn recently it was clear that both were extremely...
Abstract: The game's London 1886 is suitably grubby, smoggy and dark, but also features unexpectedly advanced technology like walkie-talkies.Brevity is not necessarily a negative thing, and there are plenty of video games — even $100 ones — that do wonderful things...
Great visuals alone do not a great game make - and there's unfortunately very little in The Order: 1886 to elevate it beyond being a pretty, but shallow and insipid shooter. It commits the one sin no interactive entertainment should: it's painfully boring...
Abstract: Ready At Dawn's The Order: 1886 looks incredible. Really, it does. I fired up some preview code yesterday, and was astounded at how good the game looked. Yes, it may have those cinematic black bars, but the stuff between them is pure visual eye candy. I'v...
Fantastically motion captured, Flawless Visuals, A great rendition of the steampunk 1886 London
No replay value, Loose storyline, Frame letterboxing, Flawed NPCs, Rehashed Boss Fights, enemies lack variety, Predated game design, Too many QTEs
The Order 1886 is a great looking game with uneven storyline and predated and mostly dull gameplay design. The characters lack depth, along with a rehash of classic enemies and boss fights. QTE's all over the game, overall it's a very linear and secondhan...
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 entertai...

Abstract: The Order 1886 had a lot of promises. This PlayStation 4 exclusive caught many gamers attention with its “cinematic approach” and beautiful graphics. After spending a good five to six hours with it, I was unfortunately left a little disappointed. However,...
