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...
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
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.

For something so beautiful, The Order: 1886 is a game you certainly wouldn't plan on entering a long-term relationship with, especially given the single-player game lasts only a matter of hours.Having popped into a second-hand game store not long after I ...

Looks gorgeous, deeply atmospheric, fabulous steampunk gadgets, weapons and general vibe, pleasing storyline and characterisations
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
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...
Abstract: Eurogamer has dropped review scores and replaced them with a new recommendation system. Read the editor's blog to find out more.In video games, the term 'cinematic' can cut both ways. It speaks of the grand sweep of Naughty Dog's Uncharted, where players ...
Lovingly crafted alternate Victorian London, Interesting concept and generally clever storytelling, Sky-high production values
Ends too soon and with no closure or satisfaction, Very linear, No multiplayer or replay value
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...
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
