refreshing to see. But The Order:
1886 then goes and spoils it by
killing you in one shot during
stealth sections. Ironically,
considering the game’s apparent
aspirations, this is a constant
reminder you’re playing a
video game.
The Order: 1886 is enjoyable
when it grants control, but
these moments are too fleeting.
Even the sections where you’re
just exploring have the barest
minimum of interactions – most
of the scenery is bolted down,
and interactive items are just
picked up to be rotated and
ogled at in what’s essentially a 3D
model viewer. And no matter how
much you enjoy the game, you’ll
likely be left feeling unsatisfied
by the end of its six hours,
with multiple plot threads left
undercooked to set up a sequel.
While it’s easy to recommend
The Order: 1886 as a graphical
showcase, there’s just not much
game here. I’d suggest hanging
on until the price is in order.
