Honest Game Trailers Season 2 Episode 36 THE ORDER 1886 (Honest Game Trailers)

Honest Game Trailers season 2 episode 36 takes a deep dive into the world of The Order 1886. The game takes place in an alternate version of Victorian London where players step into the shoes of Sir Galahad, a knight belonging to a secret order tasked with protecting humanity from supernatural threats.

The episode starts off by highlighting the game's stunning visuals and attention to detail. The graphics are so lifelike that one might easily mistake the game for a movie. The episode lampoons the game's cinematic approach to storytelling by stating that it's like playing through a "bad B-level movie."

The episode goes on to discuss the game mechanics. It notes that the game is incredibly linear with no open-world exploration. The combat system is touted as being a highlight of the game, with a variety of weapons available to Galahad. Although, the episode points out, the weapons are limited in their functionality, and players may quickly find their favorite one and stick with it throughout the game.

The episode also addresses the game's length, which is on the shorter side, with the game's main story taking only around 8 hours to complete. Although, the episode notes that the game tries to make up for its short length by including collectibles that add to the game's lore and backstory.

The episode praises the game's attention to detail in historical accuracy, from the architecture and clothing to the use of different dialects and language from the time period. However, it notes that the game's use of history as a backdrop may not be enough to mask its flaws.

The episode then delves into the game's storyline, which it admits is a bit convoluted. It notes that the game tries to cram in too much, with multiple conspiracy theories, secret societies, and betrayals all vying for attention. The episode jabs at the game's lack of character development and character arcs, with Sir Galahad being a particularly bland protagonist.

The episode ends with a nod to the game's end boss battle, which it suggests is a highlight of the game. However, it also notes that the battle is a bit anti-climactic and short-lived.

Overall, Honest Game Trailers season 2 episode 36 gives a humorous take on The Order 1886. While the game's graphics and attention to detail are praised, the game's flaws are not glossed over. From the linear gameplay to the convoluted storyline and lack of character development, the episode provides an insightful and lighthearted critique of the game.
