Don't cry because The Order 1886 is over, smile because blasting werewolves with Nikola Tesla's high-tech weapons happened

A crop of The Order 1886 cover art for Official PlayStation Magazine issue 97.

When this game was first released, it had to contend with the two words that developers fear perhaps more than any others: mixed reviews. Some critics loved it, some were left unimpressed, and some hated it with a passion that translated into truly brutal criticism. Ready At Dawn has had the last laugh; its work has stood the test of time.

One thing everybody agreed on at the time was that the graphics were impressive. Phenomenal, really; despite the fact that The Order: 1886 has passed its tenth birthday, it's no exaggeration to say that it looks better than some PS5 games today. The action takes place across locales such as the streets of an alternate Victorian London, a luxury airship, and a bloodied hospital. Each is rendered with intricate detail and skill, every second an example of remarkable technical achievement.
