The Order: 1886 is a graphically stunning title bogged down by tired combat scenarios and a lackluster story.

It is an unfortunate irony that a game offering a glimpse into the future of video game graphics should be so hamstrung by its limited, conventional gameplay. This is one anachronism too many — even for a steampunk game.
Yet, this is a high-quality first chapter of a promising new IP that fully deserves a chance from all lovers of an exceptional story and tight, fun cover shooting gameplay.
Avoid it until and unless they patch in a satisfying conclusion.
A beautifully realized world that sacrifices more involved gameplay in the name of cinematic presentation
