The Order: 1886 is a story-focused action-adventure game played in a third-person perspective. The player takes control of Sir Galahad of the Round Table, an order serving as protectors of an alternate history London. The gameplay mostly revolves around cover-based shooting.[5][6] The game is structured in a linear manner; the player guides Galahad through the environments, following the story.[5] Galahad and his fellow Knights battle against multiple different foes, including humans and werewolf-like creatures known as half-breeds.[7] Galahad is equipped with several tools and weapons for use in combat, such as variations of rifles, grenades, crossbows, and pistols.[5][6][8][9]
Aside from combat with firearms, Galahad also utilizes melee attacks and silent kills to defeat enemies.[5][6] Another major aspect of the gameplay is use of quick time events.[10] The player is often required to complete button prompts in order to progress.[7] Several types of collectibles providing lore are scattered throughout the world for the player to collect.[11]
The Order: 1886 is set in an alternate history 1886 London, where an old Order of Knights keeps the world safe from half breed monsters, which are a combination of animal and human. In the game's history, around the seventh or eighth century, a small number of humans took on bestial traits. The majority of humans feared these half-breeds and war broke out. Despite the humans outnumbering the half-breeds, their animal strength gave them the upper hand in centuries of conflict.
During the autumn of 1886 London is plagued by both attacks by half-breeds and an anti-government insurgency. After fighting off rebels in Mayfair, Sir Galahad pursues the survivors into the Underground where he encounters a number of werewolf-like half-breeds known as Lycans. Galahad's mentor, Sir Percival, one of the Order's most veteran knights, suspects that there is a correlation between the two and requests permission to investigate the rebel stronghold of Whitechapel. His concerns are dismissed by the Lord Chancellor, who believes that the Order should remain dedicated to fighting half-breeds.
After several weeks, Galahad escapes captivity in the Westminster Catacombs and attempts to flee only to be cornered. Facing re-imprisonment, Galahad throws himself off a ledge into the River Thames and is recovered by Nikola Tesla, the Order's armourer with help from an old man. Tesla seeks help from Lakshmi to help take care of him. Lakshmi reveals to Galahad, upon being questioned about her having blackwater, that she was bestowed a knighthood by Sir Bors de Ganis. Fearing that Tesla has come under suspicion, Galahad returns to Westminster in an attempt to extract him. He finds Tesla alive but also encounters Lucan in the laboratory. The two fight a second time with Galahad emerging the victor. The mortally wounded Lucan expresses regret for having betrayed the Order, claiming that he did so in order to save his race from extinction. The two are discovered by the Lord Chancellor, who confesses his knowledge of Lucan's true nature. He reveals to Galahad that centuries before he had fought and destroyed an entire tribe of Lycans, but could not bring himself to kill the infant Lucan, who he adopted as a son instead. The Lord Chancellor orders that evidence of Lucan's betrayal may not be used to exonerate Galahad and must be kept a secret for the sake of the Order. Unwilling to kill his son, he leaves Galahad to administer the coup de grace, then banishes Galahad from London. The two former comrades reconcile, and a remorseful Galahad raises his weapon and fires, killing Lucan, as the screen cuts to black.
On June 11, 2013, The Order: 1886 was announced at the Sony Computer Entertainment E3 2013 conference as a new intellectual property for the PlayStation 4. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Ready at Dawn CEO and creative director Ru Weerasuriya reveled that the game was in the works since 2010.[13] The studio's internal proprietary RAD Engine 4.0 was used for the game's development.[14] On August 29, 2013, Weerasuriya revealed that the decision to go ahead with The Order: 1886 was influenced by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. On February 6, 2014, it was announced that the game would be single-player only and that the game will run at 30 FPS.
On January 17, 2015, Ready at Dawn confirmed that the game had been declared gold, indicating it was being prepared for production and release.[15] The Order: 1886 was released on February 20, 2015.
The Order: 1886 received mixed reviews from critics, with some praise particularly directed to the game's production values, graphics and technical achievements, while receiving criticism regarding the game's length, story, gameplay, replay value and the player's involvement in the game. It received an aggregated score of 63/100 on Metacritic based on 94 reviews.[18]
Play gave the game an 8.1/10, praising its satisfying action, high production value, voice acting and dialogue, recreation of 19th Century London and cover-based gunplay. Also praised was the overall amount of gameplay, such as cover-based shooting, stealth and puzzle-solving. However, the weapons were criticized, stating they "[range] from the borderline useless to the ludicrously overpowered". The reviewer was summarized by saying that "while a brief yet explosive cinematic adventure might not be what some modern gamers want, it's quite clearly the best way to showcase the true power of a new console just after its first birthday."[29]
Matt Miller from Game Informer praised its filmic presentation, orchestral music, "rewarding" scripted action scenes, variety of weapons, controls, gunplay, characters, environments and memorable location. However, he criticized the low replay value, the story for leaving too many unresolved conflicts and questions, as well as the combat and gameplay which he stated "feels like playing through a long-established template for third-person shooting mechanics." He summarized the review by writing that "1886 goes against the current tide of open-world wandering and emergent sequences, and banks on the idea that players can enjoy a straightforward and relatively brief cinematic adventure."[21]
Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of Zero Punctuation was highly critical of the game, panning its story and overly linear gameplay and saying "while The Order: 1886 has very pretty graphics, it plays like a laundry list of the blandest game mechanics yet devised by man" and "[it] feels like a launch title; something utterly dull, carefully assembled from only the smoothest, inoffensive pieces with no ambition beyond showing off the graphics tech."[33] At the end of 2015, he chose The Order: 1886 as his worst game of the year.[34]
The retail version of The Order: 1886 was the best selling game in its week of release in the UK and Ireland,[35] debuting at No. 1 in the UK retail software sales chart. This made it the first game developed by Sony's in-house team to take the first spot in the chart since August 2014.[36]One month after release, the price was permanently cut by 33%.[37] The game was the ninth selling title in the US.[38] Neither Sony or Ready At Dawn have provided detailed information regarding the game's commercial performance.[39]
201108 Evans v. Evans 07/15/2021 In a divorce proceeding wherein the plaintiff wife obtained an order of publication against her husband, leading to entry of a decree of divorce that incorporated the terms of a property settlement and support agreement between the parties, the divorce court lacked personal jurisdiction over the husband when the divorce decree was entered, and thus did not have the authority to enter an in personam award of child support. In the present proceeding, the judgment of the Court of Appeals upholding a ruling of a circuit court, vacating as void ab initio that portion of the earlier divorce decree that had ordered the husband to pay child support, is affirmed.
191387 Galloway v. County of Northampton 04/01/2021 In consolidated actions by taxpayers alleging that their real property had been overvalued in recent tax assessments, the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in precluding testimony from one expert witness for the plaintiffs, but did abuse its discretion in precluding testimony of the other designated expert, and in the resulting order dismissing the case with prejudice. The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
170199 A.R.A. v. Commonwealth 03/01/2018 In a petition to expunge a felony arrest record, the trial court erred in concluding that the existence of this record may not cause the petitioner a manifest injustice. The facts underlying the arrest are irrelevant and the petitioner need not show actual prejudice to prevail on her expungement petition. She needs only to demonstrate that the continued existence of an arrest record may cause a manifest injustice. On this record, there is a reasonable possibility that a felony arrest record would hinder her career and her educational opportunities. It is concluded that the petitioner made the requisite showing of a manifest injustice. The judgment is reversed and the matter is remanded for entry of an order expunging the felony arrest record at issue. 2ff7e9595c
