The Order: 1886 does ooze originality in its setting and premise, however a lacklustre and short campaign, along with uninspired gameplay makes this PS4 exclusive not worth the cost of entry.

Critic Reviews for The Order: 1886
Though a stylish adventure, The Order: 1886 emphasizes its cinematic polish at the crippling cost of gameplay freedom.
The Order: 1886 isn't a disaster, nor is it a particularly good game. It's a hollow diversion, entertaining but outmoded and caught somewhere between a medium it repeatedly fumbles and one it fails to effectively embrace.
Beneath the technical wonder this is just a dull, aimless Gears Of War clone – where the attempts at storytelling are just as boring and lifeless as the action.
Worthy in its (assumed) intent, and visually spellbinding, The Order's archaic, player-detached approaches to interaction and narrative make it a dated and instantly forgettable experience.
A beautifully realized world that sacrifices more involved gameplay in the name of cinematic presentation
Though it nails some of the fundamentals, The Order: 1886 has been released without answering the essential question of what it offers that other games aren't already doing better.
The Order: 1886 is a boring collection of game cliches that betrays its fascinating premise.
