- The Order: 1886 (PS4, PS5) is an awesome game that got a bad rap. I'm here to defend this short-yet-awesome game.

The Order: 1886 is a 2015 third-person action-adventure video game developed by Ready at Dawn and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 4 on February 20, 2015.
The Order: 1886 is a story-focused action-adventure game played in a third-person perspective. The player takes control of Sir Galahad of the Round Table, an order serving as protectors of an alternate history London.
I was today years old when I learned that the dollar menu is no longer a thing in an Order 1886 video
The setting and setup is brimming with missed potential. A sequel man, I would kill to see an ironed-out sequel.
It's an underrated gem.
We need more linear single player games with good stories.
amen
Since this video crossed my path I'm going to download it and marathon it on Friday!
@@JakeBaldino would Bioshock 1 and Blood Borne be considered Linear?
John Ekow, All of what you said, but also love an element of a semi open world thrown in too, such as Dishonored.
Yes doesn't have to be all of them big open world we need more linear games too
This game DESERVE more love, more appreciation, a sequel. Period.
Bud, the studio is closed.
Why would the f want a sequel, ignorant?
Sony would make game woke.
Man, it's so refreshing hearing someone else praising a highly under-rated fantastic & gorgeous game like "The Order 1886", thank you!
Most of your comment can be true except where you said "under-rated"
It was everything but underrated
It's a good game
@@sainkanzaki Da fuq? None of your comment is true. This game was criminally underrated!!! It got lots of 3's and 4's out of 10.
It is absolutely a better game than a 4 out of 10. It was easily a 7 or so. Maybe even a 7.5!
PS4 Subscribers Smoked xbox they have been doing it ever console Launce 1886 A!+++💪💪💪" xbox has no counter punch?"Sie are back I'm most gaming stores PS4 and PS5 expect this summer to be relentless domination?PS4&PS5 1886 is a prime example?
I’m happy you like the game, but personally, I think it was a waste of potential.
I freaking love the graphics and the idea in general gave some interest and I do like some of the characters in this game but after playing it from start to finish it was a very underwhelming experience.
The major disappointing thing was not fully taking advantage of the monster aspect of the game with the werewolves, and I think vampires too. Most of the game is just you shooting people in shoot outs and killing people in stealth sections, and this is what you’re doing for like half of the game with the occasional werewolf thrown in to kill. There’s so much little werewolf action that it might as well not even be a game about werewolves honestly, and what makes it worse is, the human shoot outs are literally all the same it’s just taking cover, shooting back and killing everyone there to progress further, and sometimes you occasionally get a sniper or a guy wearing armor with a stupid explosive gun in some of the shoot outs but other than that, nothing else happens. it’s the same stuff over and over again, same thing with the stealth sections, It’s literally just going behind someone’s back and pressing the button at the right time to kill them and that’s it, nothing else changes, you are literally doing the same thing over and over again and I don’t know how that’s fun. Now we Get into the werewolf sections. As little as they’re are, there were some interesting cut scenes with them, where they were genuinely kind of creepy, but the gameplay afterwards with them is literally laughable. You can easily dodge them and shoot them down and kill them pretty fast and the best part is they do the same pattern over and over again and don’t change it up whatsoever, so you’re going to kill them pretty easily. and there you go that’s most of the werewolf encounters. just dodging and shooting the werewolf and killing them, the only time does this change is when you’re going against the two werewolf bosses, which plays out the same way for both of them. you just cut them a few times, you dodge their attacks and you play some mini button games to kill the werewolf and that’s it. That repetitive nature literally makes it really hard to wanna play it again honestly so I’m shocked that people actually enjoy that because from what I went through it, was pretty freaking boring and repetitive.
Now we get into the next problem with this game and that’s… TOO MANY CUT SCENES. I can’t tell you how many cut scenes are in this game, it’s atrocious. It might as well be a movie than a game. Listen, I’m not against cut scenes in video games. They are a great way to get some story in and to really inform the player about the world itself and its characters but when it becomes literally half of the game and it’s unskippable too, you might as well just watch a movie at that point because that’s literally what you’re doing most of the time when you’re playing this game, just watching a movie. It’s beyond me that anybody could just sit there, Watch cut scenes for a few hours and have occasional moments of gameplay, that is extremely boring and unnecessary time consuming. And it’s not even like the cut scenes are even that good, some of them are good but most of them are like whatever so it’s not even interesting to watch especially when dialogue Draggs on and on and you feel like you’re literally trapped in a prison until the cut scene finally ends, like seriously why would you wanna play a game that literally prioritizes cut scenes over gameplay. That’s genuinely boring and not even worth being a game.
The next thing that’s kind of frustrating is the slow pace of the game. The game takes a long time to get to the interesting parts, the first half of the game is literally just you pressing a few buttons, walking around and examining things and talking to people and the worst part is it’s all in a slow manner, which is extremely irritating and boring. I feel so limited because of it too, which makes me not want to play it and play something else.
Here’s a quick thing I’d like to add, sometimes I feel like the world is too empty and feels Souless, what I mean by that is, there are way to many times where there’s no one around or two little people around, some of the environments just looks so dull and uninteresting, I get it it’s supposed to be creepy, but sometimes the lighting makes it look so lifeless and unappealing. You can make lighting that is appealing and full of life and still have it be creepy and have atmosphere. But the good news is, some environments that do look pretty nice, but other than that, most of them feel kind of, well boring and lifeless. It almost makes the world feel small, which is never a good thing.
And there is really no replayability, the only reason why I could see anyone replaying this is because they needed some achievements to get a platinum, but other than that I cannot see why anybody would even bother coming back to this one for a second Playthru, like you’re literally going to do the same stuff again and you’re literally going to have to deal with the slow pace of the game again, and you’re literally gonna have to deal with the long cut scenes again, which is very time consuming and not even worth it because you could literally be playing a game that gives you more entertainment, and actually provides more gameplay than just cut scenes mostly. And it’s not like there’s multiple endings either with different cut scenes. It’s just the same stuff over and over again so you have no reason to even play it again even more than you did the first time.
And the last thing about this game that is generally frustrating is the ending, like it’s really unsatisfying and very confusing for me. The first thing that really irks me about the ending is the conclusion is very unsatisfying and feels very unfinished. Like, for example, we never get to confront that guy who literally framed us and tried to get us killed in prison, who is a werewolf or vampire by the way and we never find out what happened to that woman that the main character used to work with that was literally planning to capture him. We never get to see what happens to her at all or where she went because she literally just disappears at that point and we never see her again for the ending too. It genuinely feels like these two are supposed to play a bigger role, but the developers didn’t have time to implement them, and I wanna be real with you, I don’t know what was happening in the ending with the whole Brother thing and the whole he was my son thing, it was generally confusing. if I can’t tell what’s going on you in ending, you probably did something wrong with storytelling, especially when I read everything too and listen to every cut scene.
So honestly, I don’t think this game is a masterpiece at all. I just think it was a game with some big potential and some great ideas but it fell flat in the end. This is why I feel like you should never prioritize graphics and cut scenes over gameplay and actually good storytelling because it just makes things very messy. I just wanna make this clear, it’s not a bad game. It’s a mediocre game with a lot of problems. there’s way worse games out there. (cough, cough Killzone shadow fall.) and I’m saying this because I want to give my personal view on the game. I hope you all understand.
It’s criminal that there isn’t a sequel to The Order. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and with a few tweaks the sequel could be huge.
There were rumors of a PS5 Remake coming at some point late last year, but nothing concrete as of now
@@unicorntomboy9736 A remake is a waste of time,the game still looks great..,they need a sequel which there was rumors of,not these remake everything bullshit lately
Game studio got closed, ignorant.
There wont be any sequel.
If there be, game would be woke.
@@SeriousDragonify I wish I seen this 3 weeks ago when your dumb ass called me ignorant. Let me learn you something. The studio closing doesn’t mean shit. Facebook bought Ready at Dawn. Sony owns the IP. If they want to they could have Naughty Dog or any other studio of their choosing make the game. Know what you’re talking about, before resorting to calling someone ignorant.
Picked it up on sale recently and had a killer experience 🔥
your video was awesome
Yeah ur edits are crazy
4 hours
Subbed to you recently bro, keep up the good work! 👍🏾
But the E3 trailer misled you
Thought we fight supernatural being this game had so much potential
This game when it came out was a technological mastery, the graphics were sublime and still impress to this day! It's a shame the developers weren't given another chance. OH, SONY...
Facebook owns them
Facebook acquired the studio, but Sony still owns the IP.
Thankfully the devs are still kicking in VR. I believe they did the Echo Arena games and Lone Echo series. They are partnered with oculus Studios I believe.
Same with Driveclub.
I feel like what sony did to TO1886 they did to Days Gone.
I literally played this for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. For a game this old, it still looks far better than some games which have been released recently - it’s absolutely beautiful. I accept the criticisms regarding the length of the game (plus the ratio of cutscenes to gameplay), but for someone like myself who is fairly busy most of the time and just wants to kick back to something, this game is perfect. Too bad there won’t be a sequel, the story was really starting to go somewhere!
I loved this game. The world was beautiful, the characters were interesting. The fact that it ended in a cliffhanger with a sequel in mind that will never happen is sad if you ask me
"World was beautiful"
Bud, this isnt open world.
What "world" youre speaking of?
Game is sheep roads and short.
Ignorant.
I loved this game for what I saw it to be: A game whose storytelling was at the forefront, with gameplay being a means to tell that story. The length didn't bother me at all, nor did the mechanics. The game is gorgeous, even today.
I fucking loved it when it came out (even though I HATED the stealth section with instant death). That being said, it kinda felt like the good stuff was just getting started, with the big villan reveal at the end and you pretty much becoming a Victorian England Batman-esque vigilante. I left me wanting so much more and always thought that "The Order: 1887" could have been a masterpiece, cause the building blocks for a fantastic game were alredy there.
The inclusion of historical figures was cool, but the fact that they brought in a historical figure from India in the Rani of Jhansi blew my mind. My folks used to watch one of their serial TV shows about her, and it really does feel different when you see a part of your own culture and history brought in and made so badass, like, they don't do that in Indian media (alternative histories and bringing historical figures into the future), and if they did it wouldn't be as cool as she was depicted here. Tesla and the Marquis are two of my favorite characters, they've been given so much personality, and it lends so well to the realism of this world.
I totally agree, this game as well as Ryse Son of Rome were the 2 launch exclusives that were solid but got destroyed because people didn’t think they were next gen experiences (whatever that means)
This was exclusive but wasn't a launch title. It came out over a year after PS4 launch.
That ain’t the reason they were destroyed. Stop pulling shit out of your ryse. The only thing good about ryse was it’s graphics, the gameplay was bland, repetitive and boring
@@mrpopo5097 I didn’t say it should get a 10/10 but the real thing that pissed people off was that they couldn’t play it on 360 and they didn’t think it was worthy of that “next gen prestige” because it was a shorter linear game with pretty average gameplay and a good story, that’s what led to the open world genre dominating the generation, because shorter linear games weren’t received well and weren’t considered big enough, there’s a reason Ryse has a 4.4 on steam and that’s cause PC players aren’t invested in what’s “next gen” they just want a good game and clearly there’s an audience for what it offers
I adore getting lost in 70+ hour games like Elden Ring, but honestly a 4-7 hour game is like a breath of fresh air anymore. I think a lot of people have grown tired of the Ubisoft formula and are much more open to shorter experiences then they were in 2015.
I'll have to track this down, thanks for the heads up.
You can't tell me that this game would be amazing in an open world setting though, similar to red dead, or semi open world like TLOU
The older we get the less time we have to play 70 hour+ games. Having something you can finish in one weekend is great
@@hvr8463 That's kind of where I currently sit. Yes, I love those massive open world games, but right now those take me several months to complete. I love being able to start and finish in a couple of days.
I'm with you. These games, so obviously packed with mundane and repetitive busy work, just to pad-out the play-time (Ubisoft formula) are getting old. I'll take a shorter, less repetitive, more tailored experience any day.
@@bliglum have you bought evil west?
100 % agree with this take. Picked it up cheap and loved every second of it. Great game and would love to see a sequel.
The takedown animations are still some of the best ive ever seen. Iirc they were EXTREMELY dynamic too
Wow man… I finally found someone that thinks exactly like me regarding The Order 1886! It’s so good! Of course it has it’s flaws, but the positives totally surpass the things that came out less good. What a game, what an experience, what a vibe! I would really love to play its sequel, especially due to the way it ends. Still hoping for the sequel to release one day 🤞
I played this game like 3 years ago and I was absolutely blown away. I got online to check out what everyone thought about the game and was shocked to find out it was super divisive! Thank you for being a staunch defender Jake. Keep fighting the good fight and maybe one day we will get another!
God I was so angry at everyone shitting on this game back when it released, it is such a delicious pulp romp and we should've gotten a chance to see it all the way through. I wonder if Sony would consider getting a sequel underway if we all asked nicely?
I'm gonna ask HARD
I been wanting to go back and play this. Anyone know if it's playable on PS5?
@@ianj5327 it absolutely is
@@JakeBaldino Petition to get a sequel? Think theres plenty of people now who love this underrated game.
@@ianj5327 all PS4 games are playable on PS5.
Just finished the game. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SEQUEL!!! It was so hard to put the controller down the whole time I played. Thank you jake baldino for the recommendation.
I also replayed this within the last year and felt it got a bad rap. It's a solid game and would be even better with some simple quality of life improvements. Unskippable cutscenes being the primary perp here.
Could have brought a port to pc and made those tweaks..
The game did not get a bad rep. 60 for a 6 hour experience is inexcusable
This. I *loved* it way back when and knowing seemingly everyone else hated it only strengthened my resolve. I’d love love love a sequel.
Great call, Jake! I bought this game at launch but never really tried to get into it. I finally decided to play it all the way through a few months ago on PS5 and I had a blast with it. I love the lore, the story is great, the setting and atmosphere is all top notch. I was genuinely stunned at how beautiful the game still looks all these years later. The gunplay, while nothing groundbreaking, is still pretty fun. It's a tight, focused single player game without all the fluff to pad out the length for no reason. It's also a super easy platinum. And it ends in a way that leaves plenty of room for a sequel!
I really love this game and I’m very sad that we still didn’t get a sequel. Can you imagine how it’s look like on ps5?! Also agree with ur statement that we need more linear games, seems like every big game goes open world and Im getting exhausted
This game totally holds up today to the visuals on the PS5, which is crazy
@@undisclosedsteve6361 Cause ps 5 holds up to visuals of ps 4 lol
I distinctly remember the gameinformer for this game and how hyped I got for it and my friends bullied me out of so much as trying it
the cover art for that issue was so awesome
@@JakeBaldino dude it totally was! It captured the atmosphere so well and so did the pages that the article was on, it had really cool designs and concept art and stuff. Thanks for the trip down memory lane man!
The 1st game I played where I didn’t mind the long cut scenes because the story and twists were so interesting. The actual gunplay is fun, weapons are great and the atmosphere is awesome. Really underrated
I loved everything about this game and it bums me out that we might not see a sequel to it. Because it honestly deserves one so badly.
Dude honestly what a great game. Completely underrated. I really wish they continued with this series because the concept was so cool
I couldn't agree more! The world was so cool and I really enjoyed my time with the game, despite its flaws. I miss the single-player narrative games that I played so many of on the PS3 and I hope they make a comeback someday.
Imagine this: an Unreal 5 short and linear game that pushes these current consoles to the max in terms of graphics and that focuses more on world-building, with a great story and interesting characters, as well as solid voice acting... sign me up!
Don't get me wrong... I love an immersive open-world experience that I can sink 50+ hours into, but... you know... short games are fun too!
“Short games are fun to” doesn’t equal $69 to $70 game.
Facebook owns them now.
I remember playing The Order 1886 back when it came out, and after finishing the game just imagining how good a sequel could be. If they could expand on the world more, and go more in depth with the combat and gameplay, I honestly think a sequel to this game would be a masterpiece. The world alone was just so cool and I wanted to know more
I heard the same thing when it came out. I bought it when it got to $10 and I freakin LOVE it! The story, atmosphere, design, the concepts! I thought it was brilliant. To me it was like a cool a24 movie. Sick little one shot that I wish there was more of. I think really ever since this game dropped, I just want more cool “Victorian era style type games. Bloodborne had a similar vibe. Awesome video man, I needed this.
I have been championing this game for YEARS! I am glad it is finally getting its time in the light. This game deserves its sequel
I loved this game. Always hoped they would get the opportunity to do a sequel. The lore of the game is so cool.
Jake is right. I loved it too. Was disappointed we never got a sequel.
One of those games where i can make a whole list of things they didn't do well, yet i loved it for it's amazing setting and atmosphere. A more fleshed out sequel, that deepens the story and tightens up the gameplay and you've got pure gold!
Couldn't agree more!
A game that is greater than the sum of its parts
Back in college I binged the whole game in a night too-I couldn’t get enough of setting and lore. They set one of the coolest foundations for a series ever. We need more vampire games dammit
It really was annoying they introduced vampires right at the end and you didnt get to fight any
I loved this entire game, it was one of my first ps4 games and I never regretted it. It also didn't seem super short to me because I picked up almost every object
YES, I recently was going on a platinum spree and saw the Order 1886 sitting there, I remembered how controversial this game was when it first came out so I never really picked it up back then, but seeing how short and easy to platinum the game was, I decided to pick it up and play it. Loved it so much that I instantly started looking for similar games and hopped on to Hellblade and A Plage Tale. Still hoping one day we get Order 1887.
What makes you think it’ll be 1887
@@mrpopo5097 1887, whatever, the title doesn’t matter. Just a sequel in general would be great
Facebook owns ready at dawn now.
@@CP-uw4ts That's disheartening.
Had a great time with this game… and had that feeling :”I want more of this!!!!!”
Amazing setting for a video game…
I'm glad someone is finally showing this gem some love! It's by far one of my favorite games of the last gen and a defining moment in the history of game graphics! The thing looks like a prerendered CGI movie. The lighting effects, the lens effect simulation, the aspect ratio, the filters... A gorgeous game that deserves a sequel! I bought it full price and I've seen it on sale for $3 or so, it's a steal!
Oh Jake you’re totally speaking my mind in this video. I agree this game was a little short but the visuals were beautiful, art direction was fantastic, the overall theme of the game was very cool, the characters were badass looking and I really enjoyed it anyway and wanted more. I’d really love to see Order 1889 powered by PS5, but I’m afraid Sony will not be willing to give it another chance because of so much bad online reactions back then. What a shame 😕
I've been playing it for the first time the past few evenings and just finished it about an hour.
What can I say? This might just be one of my favourite gaming experiences ever.
It is crazy how underrated this is. It looks great, the music and sound is amazing, characters are awesome, spot-on voice acting, impressive world and overall design and I wholeheartedly enjoyed the story. Heck, I even think the shooting sequences were fun and some of them actually quite challenging. And even the QTE sequences were alright in my opinion.
Definitely love this game
I played this when it first came out and I absolutely loved it. It was beautiful graphically, especially for the time it came out. Short and Sweet and yes, we could have used some more story but I was never upset about it.
I barely bought this game last weekend and I’m legit blown away that this game looks this good even almost 10 years later
Currently going through this game for the first time about 3/4 of a ways through,It's a pretty decent game I just wish they went further with the Lycans and made it more horror focused.I will say the game looks incredible for it's time
agree horror ohhh yah it well be even way better
Bizarre timing! I just started playing through this for the first time last week. I’ve been having a blast, the acting is great and the characters are captivating. I really wish I could look forward to a sequel.
Totally want to see a sequel for this, what a beautiful art direction and world

@@yaro42 and doing absolutely fuck all with it.
What if they change Grayson's name? Since he lost his Sir Gallhad title/name. And in the sequel it turns out that his next name/title is Van Helsing!!
oh my god. that would be siiick
Great timing for this video to hit my feed Jake!
If ANY game was more worthy of a sequel a decade later its The Order 1886!
I bought the game day one in 2015 and loved it from start to finish. I got most of the trophies and despite it being an easy platinum I never got it until THIS WEEK! I finished The Finals platinum which took like 500 hours and was like hey im going to play a super short game and get my damn plat!
This game was even better the second time through. One littleeeee gem is the police commissioner saying "elementary" and being called "Doyle" as in Arthur Doyle the creator of Sherlock Holmes.
I loved this world, I didn't even mind the walking around, RAD did such an insane job with the fidelity. Fidelity usually crumbles after a few years but playing this in 2024 and it still holds up next to Last of Us part 2 etc
If this game were announced it would get a ton of fan fair because the only real problem was the length, the gameplay is take it or leave it imo, I personally liked how the bossfights played out and sure the gunfights are shooting galleries but this game got literally everything else right.
Another game that deserves a sequel after several years and much hate, in my opinion is Days Gone.
The Order 1886 has everything I love most: a cool, cinematic story; linear gameplay; interesting lore & characters; dark, eerie vibes; victorian+steampunk-ish aesthetics; werewolves & vampires; QTE (unpopular opinion but I love those).... it's like this game was made for me, really. The games which come closest in vibe are Bloodborne and Vampyr (both favorites of mine), but besides these I don't know of any similar games in terms of visuals/mood. I wish it got a sequel or more so badly - especially that the "ending" makes it clear that it's not the end of the story they wanted to tell. It's such a unique game and immediately became a huge favorite of mine!!! So good to see there are other people who appreciate this fantastic game & spread the word about its true value! 🙏 Thank you for this! Awesome video!
I picked up a pre-owned copy of this game a while ago, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Your enthusiasm (as always) is a strong argument for giving it a go, thanks Jake!
Yeah I’m the same man, got the game at a crazy cheap price a couples years back but didn’t get round to playing it yet..
But after jakes review/reminder I’m definitely going to jump into it. 👍🏾
It’s been my (sorta) tradition to play “dark” games, both metaphorically and literally, during the summer months. Last year I played Prey (2017) for the first time and had a blast. I’m looking at going through Resident Evil 2 Remake and The Order: 1886 this year.
Prey is sooo good
I agree with most of what you said. I still remember this game even today. The game alone isn't up to standard for all the reasons you said. But the universe they created and the vibe definitely had me thinking how good a sequel would've been
My jaw was on the floor first time i experienced this game ....
Just the mood and tone ...the cinematic-ness of it all !!
The steam punk weaponry, the alt-history setting and characters got me so immersed into it, i barely noticed the shorter playtime and i have ever since been craving for a sequel !!
The last shot truely is a batman-esque moment....very reminescent of Gotham by Gaslight and Alan moore's FROM HELL !! ♥️♥️
It's an excellent game and it's actually kinda heartbreaking (though understandable) that is never got a sequel. The way the game ended, and the myriad issues the game had, could have made for a sequel that far-surpassed the original.
Finally.. I have been saying for years that we need a proper sequel to this, one where they can have enough time and no pressure to do a 15-20 hour single player experience. I'm a huge legacy of kain and underworld fan, and this game scratched that itch so well. I need more order 1886 games (at least 2 more)
Glad to see this game finally getting the love it deserves! I remember playing this in 2016 and I was blown away. I didn’t hear anything bad about it so I went in unbiased and just genuinely curious and WOW did they deliver. I’ll admit the game was a bit short and the story wasn’t as cohesive as I would’ve preferred but that’s nothing they wouldn’t be able to improve upon in the next game! Plus it left me wanting more which is a great thing for the first entry to a series.
Great video, I absolutely love this game! One of my favorites on the PS4! I have been craving for a sequel for years haha! Would love it if they continued the story!
Highly underrated game. Diamond in the rough, a true hidden gem.
I bought this at launch and loved it. I was annoyed people became so fixated on its length instead of whether it was a good experience or not. Such a cool concept I too am bummed we haven’t gotten more of this.
One of my all time favourites even with its flaws, it can be a slog sometimes with the walking and talking but it's main problem was there was not enough of it, it needed more combat scenarios the gunplay was just so vicseral and brilliant there is still nothing quite like it
The world works in the most mysterious ways. I just finished my 3rd or 4th play through last week. It left me frustrated that we don’t have a sequel to this game/world and I don’t know who to throw my money at to get it. 100% love and agree with this video. Thanks for sharing this, we share this passion!
Sick game. Did I beat it in 2 sittings? Yes. Was it a ton of fun? Yea.
This game isn’t flawless, but it really does a lot of things well. The visuals, the atmosphere, the music, the characters and voice actors… it all adds to an awesome experience. And the details! The way your character walking down stairs looks so authentic. The fact that he makes a short inhale before jumping a fence, and let it out after he has landed. The smooth way in which you make use of the objects around you when taking down an enemy by hand; pushing them over a nearby crate or dunking their head against a wall.
This game ends leaving so much potential on the table. Let us know when you’re done with that fan fiction, cause we need more of this game. ;)
Agreed!
This game is great the ending hyped me up thinking a sequel was coming I wish we seen more of the Lycans though. Those parts of the game where it’s just shoot and dodge them sucked.
I absolutely adore this game and I stan it still to this day. The concept is top notch and at the time, cinematic experiences were still foreign. I was blown away at how the game would seamlessly flow between game play an cinematics, considering it was (to the best of my recollection) slated to be a launch title. This game filled that Van Helsing itch that's hard to scratch now a days. Seeing the game moved to The Great War would be interesting, but I love a good Victorian England setting. If a sequel ever came to be, I'd be first in line for it.
Super underrated game. Love love the story and world they made there. I always thought it would have been cool if they turned this into their own Soulslike game but with guns. I wouldn’t mind it if it was open world too with like dark underground areas to explore. At night and in dar areas is where you’d encounter the werewolves. Man, wish they revived this one.
It was the first game I got to play on the ps4, and still is on of the best gaming experiences I had so far. Beautiful mix of storytelling, great cinematography, lighting and gaming. I wish there was a sequel. It really deserves it.
I got the collector's edition but not the most expensive one and yeah I can say I was a bit disappointed. Not really with the length but the werewolf part. The fights sucked but they were built up to be the most deadly enemies ever. The story and ending with the Order itself had me hooked and I wanted a sequel that did things right but we didn't get the chance.
Edit: Also Hellblade came out at $20 or $30 so people weren't as pissed
I'd love a dedicated video on Asura's Wrath. How you and Gameranx acknowledge it so much, the game *needs* attention and, if not a sequel, atleast a remaster/Complete edition
Vampire’s & werewolves always get looked over recently.
Played through the game several times. it’s dripping with atmosphere & details in everything. Definitely deserved a 2nd game like Assassins Creed 2 or Uncharted 2.
Ready at dawn is owned by Facebook now
I went back and played this game just to watch this video and I was not disappointed.
Beautiful vision with the story. Amazing views of London and the underground. Lafayette is definitely my favorite. He really showed us the development of the Order and he was so fun given his real life history. Maybe 1888 you get to play as him in America?
The Falcon was an awesome weapon. When the full armor shotgunners came running up to me, it just clicked. Stun them and let them have it.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel
That glorious mustache sells the entire game honestly lol
The game was too short considering how much it cost, but I still have fond memories of it and I got the platinum. What people forget about this game was there was no delays on release, there was no day one patch, no updates to fix bugs, and the production values were so good they still hold up today. Also this was the first game in a new IP, think where it would be now if we gave sequels a chance.
I feel like Jake's tastes in games closely mirrors my own, so Im gonna trust him on this. gonna give this game a shot
Same.
Honestly, I loved it! It's such a shame that it became more notorious for it's shortcomings than it's amazing graphics and story. Yes it felt like the prologue to a bigger game and they dropped the ball there, but it's still well worth the experience 👍
The engine used for this game looked so good. Just imagine if other games use this level of detail and atmospheric environment
I thought it was amazing idea wise. It looked beautiful, it felt nice to play, the world/story was crazy interesting but I was sad at how shallow it was. I agree with Jake on most of this stuff.
10/10 great game but definitely left us on a cliff hanger moment I hated that about this game because just as you said it felt like it just got to the breaking point and it was over 😭 they need a part 2 for sure!
I’m here for my grain of salt 🧂
I would be so grateful if the next chapter of the order 1886 would be announced
The Order 1886 remains among my all time favorite pieces of media as a whole.
The shooting was slightly strange but this was an incredible film with portions of gameplay. If the story was given time to breath and to setup some of the lore / world and character arcs then it would have been amazing.
This is an instance of video game being the medium used to tell an incredible story.
Man the sound of recharching your weapon in this game is so satisfactory I can't explain it.
The Lycan fights were underwhelming but overall I had a great time with the story, graphics are amazing and the combat was meh to good. The aiming felt odd but some of the weapons are so cool and fun. The atmosphere of the game is palpable, would have loved to see what they would have done with sequels.
There aren't enough games like this. Played it recently and had a blast!
I platinumed the game yesterday (it was my second time playing it).. I had one hell of a time with this game! loved it!!! The lore, the cast, gameplay etc.. 10/10
I'm with you Jake. I played The Order 1886 and I had a really good time with it. Even played it through a second time for the platinum. The visuals, story, world and voice acting are so good!
Man I was expecting this to be bigger. I want a sequel so bad and recently replayed it too. So underrated. I remember it being stupid good looking too. Maybe since bend studio isn't doing another day's gone they could go for it? That would be sweet.
Dude, I love your sequel ideas. I hope someone sees this and it sparks something like that!
DUDE finally! Ive been praising this game for 7 years and been waiting patiently for a sequel. There is such an amazing IP in their laps that i know will only get better with another installment.
Loved the game back in the day…remember my brother and me staring at the screen a few times thinking a cutscene is still running don’t realizing we supposed to take control already
I routinely replay this and Unity, probably every other year since release. So sad how both games got tore apart upon release and yet get appreciation years after once it's too late.
Your comment at about the 10.5 minute mark is spot on! I have never loved a setting so much in a videogame ever!!! Love this game, I want a sequel so bad. Awesome video
The atmosphere was awesome. Different monsters, creatures and even some supernatural stuff would be great
My main issue with the game when I played it was the length. It was a great time and I just wanted more. Definitely worth playing it if you haven’t. Hope they revive the IP at some point.
I remember playing this a few years back, but never finished it because I got bored...hearing how short it is is shocking that I didn't finish it in the first sitting.
The Order definitely had the potential to be a great franchise, and the groundwork of 1886 made me AT THE VERY LEAST want 1887 with more gameplay quirks. The setting and aesthetics were amazing.
Just finished this and it is such a great game! Definitely exceeded my expectations, a sequel would be amazing but is probably wishful thinking, thanks jake for getting me to try this.
god this game rules to me, hearing you talk about the world and premise and I’m just in my seat going “YEAHEAHYEAHEYAH” soooo sick
I got this on launch day, I was in between moving houses. All I had was my TV, ps4 and a 6 pack of beer in an ice filled kitchen sink. I played it from start to finish in one sitting. Still to this day it's one of my most memorable gaming moments.
I’ve played through The Order three times. I loved it. Wish they would’ve continued this
