Then the reviews dropped.

It wasn’t that The Order: 1886 was a bad game – it was that after all this time, all of the hype, all players got was a five-hour cinematic jaunt through a visually stunning Victorian London. To put a new spin on a ubiquitous idiom the general consensus was: it’s not bad, we’re just disappointed.

Not me though. No, I loved my time playing The Order, everything about the game’s premise and lore pulled me in – seriously all it needed was some Lovecraftian vibes and it would’ve been my GOAT.

Today marks four years since we donned the lush moustache of Grayson Galahad. Recently I decided to jump back into Ready at Dawn’s adventure to see how it held up after playing some of this generation’s best over the past year, and surprisingly I still found myself enjoying the game as much as I did back in 2015.

The first thing that’s noticeable is just how impressive the visuals still are. The amount of detail in everything is simply incredible from Galahad’s worn face to the cobbled streets of Victorian London, it easily still stands up as one of the best looking games this generation.
