'The Order: 1886' is a Blast from the Past but Fails to Give Players a Thrilling Gameplay
This game from Sony takes you back in time during the time of King Arthur with the Knights of the Round Table with realistic graphics as narrated by Times of India.
"The Order: 1886" is set in Victorian era where the story revolves around the player as Sir Galahad battling the monsters and half-breeds lurking in every corner. The half-monsters, half-human attack in every way possible to kill the mighty knights in this game but thanks to the genius mind of Nikolai Tesla, the modern technology has led to the effortless killing of the monsters.
The game itself poses to be intriguing but Ready at Dawn forgot to put more life into this game. Explanations are needed on why the players were thrown into a world wherein The Order must be done and experienced. Each time a player reaches an open world, there are more things should be known but there seems to be an endless layer of unanswered questions.
Getting hooked into a deeper world and as the game progresses into a more interesting scenario, the game comes to a meaningless end. The game finishes in about 7 hours of playing and there are no replays to watch.
There are also flaws in the structure of the world wherein there are hints that the player can go directly to another open world but when faced on that point, you cannot go there. It is like just looking but not touching. There is the pain of not continuing and being disappointed that the game already ends.
The saving factor of "The Order: 1886" is the number of weapons dating back in early Victorian period. Another is the terrifying monsters with incredible animation and graphics.
For a price of Rs 3,799, Sony might not be a winner with this one.
