On paper, Ready At Dawn Studio’s new big budget release seems like it should be right up our alley. It’s a plot-focused game with a (seemingly) insane premise, which is basically catnip for us. In practice, it’s actually a boring cliched mess wrapped up in a bundle of desaturated colors and lots of weak filler.

But what is The Order 1886? Well, we thought it was going to be a game about a elite order of nearly immortal knights battling monstrous werewolves in an alt-history Victorian London. But actually, it’s mostly about a bunch of dudes ignoring werewolves and instead shooting poor people (in an alt-history Victorian London).
