In case it slipped past your radar, The Order: 1886 was a game set in an alternate version of 19th Century London, where King Arthur's knights protected the streets from werewolves and vampires. While it was a visually outstanding game for the time, it only clocked in at around 6-7 hours for a full playthrough.

This meant that it found a lukewarm reception with critics at best, but eight years on, after Digital Foundry posted a video of the game running at 60fps on PS5, gamers and developers have been sharing fond memories of The Order: 1886.



Some devs have said that The Order: 1886 was incredibly important for graphical developments going forward. Some were baffled that the game never got a sequel or more support from the industry, while others simply wondered why the game was lambasted on release, especially after other more recent games have been praised while having short run times.

REVIEW. Written by Gillen McAllister

"Victorian villainy rubs shoulders with religious relics. It's Indiana Jones meets Penny Dreadful - and what's not to love about a pitch like that?"
