Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game looks incredible but is kinda short! Fun play through the first time.

This is easily one of the most beautiful looking games I've ever seen. The sets, the characters, the weapons are all first class and, being a story driven game, the story is very engaging. The game play is also very good. Character movement, weapons and melee are all easy to control. I enjoyed this game very much.

To start off, like all other review may say, this game is incredibly short, in fact I feel as though the developers were using this to fund a trilogy or something. With that aside, I do feel like this is a good game, stunning visuals and a decent narrative, but it does leave me with the feeling of wanting more. I would wait for the game to go on sale rather than dropping full price on it.

This game truly shows the power of the PS4, but a reliance on QuickTime events and too much walking and talking keep it From the greatness it aspires to. I enjoyed the story and the shooting sequences were fun. It was an enjoyable 6 hours...just not much more.

The game is great. The graphic and voice acting are top notch. The gameplay is fun but nothing we haven't seen before. Yes the game is short and can be beaten in about 8 hours. I work full time and don't get much time to play so this game lasted me just over a week. Some can beat it in a day if they play nonstop.

Stunning graphics. Great cinematic experience. Average, short lived gameplay.

The order was way over hyped its a fun game but emphasis way to much on qtes much more than ryse did and ryse ended uo being a way better game both are visually stuning but the order oeft a bad taste in ky mouth after sending to much on it only worth 20

I like the story that this game presents. The game play itself is kind of suspect. I'm not a big fan of the fighting QTEs present in this game. The game has a lot of walking that slows the pace. So while this game has flaws, it does tell a good story.

While a little on the short side, the gameplay and story keep you engaged!

It was a really fun game with amazing gameplay and graphics. Just too short.

Amazing graphics and decent story line. A must have game for PS4 owners.

The Order 1886 is a unique game. What drew me to this game was the similarities between this and Heavy Rain, a game very dear to me. The storytelling is superb, amazing graphics, fun gameplay(tho at times can be aliitle wacky). It makes you feel like your watching a movie. I loved every second of it.

Sometimes reviews come easily. Often, I finish playing a game and have concise feelings on it, can put that to paper, and go from there. When I finished playing The Order 1886, I can’t say that was the case. That’s not a bad thing, and by no means is The Order a bad game, it’s simply not a very good one. It’s unfortunate that the game was put under such a spotlight, because taken for exactly what it is, a new first party IP from a studio previously given the job of porting existing games and crafting side stories - I strongly believe The Order stands not as any sort of failure, but as the very definition of a tragically flawed video game. One thing is without question. The Order is the best looking game to date. Some games have sections or CG sequences that outdo it in some aspects, but as a graphical showcase nobody can tell the game it isn’t doing it’s very best. The subtle smoke and lightning effects observed in the slow times, escalating into bombastic shootouts with a couple of the most unique weapons I’ve had the pleasure of firing in some time, every bit of the game is dripping in atmosphere, and every bit of that atmosphere looks truly astounding. Chances are you’ve been made aware of The Orders length, and likely told what you should think about it. I’m not going to do that. I feel strongly in my opinion that a games worth is totally relative. If someone only has the ability to afford one game, they may want one with more to play - but just as likely, there’s someone out there who want’s a game they know they can finish without a large time investment. My point is simply that everyone has the right to decide for themselves if the game is worth it or not, and they have every right to feel differently upon finishing it. The game is, in all honesty, about 6 hours from start to finish. You can easily shave some time off that, but not a ton because there are 5 lengthy cutscenes the game insists on calling chapters of their own. This is the one bit where I talk directly to Ready At Dawn, the developers of The Order 1886. Don’t do that. It’s simply disingenuous. You made 11 chapters, just be honest about it. Cutscenes open or close chapters of a video game, they do not constitute one of their own. The plot is most certainly one best experienced for yourself, but not one that isn’t without it’s fair share of unanswered questions I’d have liked to know more about. It comes off as setting up much more than it has the time to take on, and whether or not that was always the plan is really left quite vague given the games ending. At times, it seems the plot was meant to continue for another dozen chapters, and just as the whole thing comes together, it ends. The strangest part of it in my eyes is that it’s not a bad ending at all, just one that comes too soon. The conflict resolved isn’t necessarily the one you were looking to get to the bottom of, and while it provides a definite sense of closure on this chapter of the story, it only serves to tease the fact that it’s follow up has infinitely more potential. This leads me to discussing one of those fatal flaws in The Order. That of limitation. The world, as I said, is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. This is despite it’s incredibly muted color palette and consistently cloudy skies - but the world you see is not traversable. On occasion, you can venture slightly off the path you’re made to follow, but there is little to no reward for doing so, and more often than not these offshoots end with a dead end. This, coupled with the very frequent checkpoint system ensure that this world is not one to be explored freely, but shown to you just the way the developers wished for you to see it. The limited area may be a blessing however, because the control scheme for Sir Galahad is one riddled with questionable choices. From the investigative sequences of LA Noire to the sprint and cover system pulled right out of gears of war - The Order tries desperately, and I mean DESPERATELY to be like other games you’ve played. This works somewhat in it’s favor, because for the most part they did a grab bag of some of the better mechanics of the last generation of third person shooters. That said, the version they’ve made based on the ideal formulas don’t work as well as the games they’re seemingly based upon. The sprint and cover system feels much less responsive, most especially in a stealth sequence near the games end that long overstays its welcome. The investigations boil down to either luck or trial and error. It’s all so close to being on point, but misses it by just enough that it really becomes detrimental to the game experience. It begs the question, would I have enjoyed a longer gameplay experience given the actual mechanics aren’t as enjoyable as I’d like them to be? I tend to doubt it. One thing I do want to give praise to are the guns. I’m not the guy to tell you which game has the most realistic guns, but I will happily tell you when a game has fun guns to use, and that’s definitely the case with most of the guns here. The arc gun and thermite rifle are the only truly unique weapons to the world of The Order. Both will be given to you at a particular point, but can be picked up from enemies or the world at any point from then on. The way ammo is handled, you will need to find ammo pickups to continue using them, or drop them in favor of a gun with more plentiful resources. There is also no persistent inventory, so you’ll often have things taken from you or given to you, only to go looking for the same supplies in the next area. It comes off as unnecessary, but not a huge drawback. The rest of the guns are standard for the genre but feel particularly well crafted for the most part. If paired with a better cover system, they’d truly be given a chance to shine. So where does this leave me? Well incredibly torn. The Order succeeds in creating a world and future that holds infinite potential for amazing stories, but only does so by getting the setup out of the way here, and in doing so, tells what is likely the most boring part of the worlds story as a whole. At moments it is redefining what a game can be, and at others falling back onto the mechanics it knows will sell, falling short on their delivery. I try to see it this way - Imagine a world where we got Episode V without IV, sure it’d be awesome, but the character arc wouldn’t be as significant, and none of it would carry the weight it otherwise did. Given the final few chapters revelations and mid-credits scene, there will be a sequel, and I’m all for it all things considered. I look forward to venturing deeper into the world of The Order, and hope sincerely they learn from their missteps. The Order 1886 gets a 6/10.

This game is fun and has amazing graphics. However, it is very short.

This game got a lot of rude statements thrown at it during release but after playing it, I believe it's a strong display of the fact that gameplay time DOES NOT equal quality. My playthrough took 8 hours and you can get this game for less than $60 now which is fair enough. Enjoy the world design, attention to detail, and story in a game that deserves a series.

This is a good, fun game, and has good graphics, but is too short.

While the game is pretty short, I enjoyed the action and atmosphere.
