The Order: 1886 is a game with so many wonderful, unique and brilliant elements however it doesn’t realise its full potential. Too many critics have rejoiced in hate, I’ve decided to be constructive! So using it as a reference point I ask what changes can be made to make a sequel better?

I have come up with a few suggestions. Some you may agree with, some you many not, but I have endeavoured to make strong cases for them all. Let me know your reactions and I would love to hear any ideas you have, and maybe Ready At Dawn will listen to public suggestions, consider them and take them on board for The Order: 1887 or The Order: 1889!

[00:07] Introduction
[01:47] Don't restrict player control of character movement
[02:38] Let me do it! The player character should be the lead, not a passive participant
[03:50] Don't be afraid to let the player character die
[04:38] Don't force walking
[05:15] Rethink mini-cutscenes
[05:46] Don't continually signpost instructions & button combinations
[06:53] Combat
[07:25] Lycan & Vampire fights
[08:17] Collectables - keep a record
[08:51] Trophies
[09:16] Quick Time Events
[09:58] Cutscene balance
[10:27] Skippable cutscenes
[10:46] Don't make the majority of the game be a flashback for your character
[11:04] Multiplayer
[12:43] Level variety
[13:12] Keep the Sir Galahad sequel in London
[13:38] Show us more of the world
[14:42] Show us the romance of The Order
[15:32] The love triangle
[16:25] Keep the ethnic mix of 1886 Britain authentic - and introduce us to more ethnic characters of the game world
[18:03] Ready At Dawn. Don't lose your mojo - keep the cinematic style
[18:53] Final epic battle
[19:35] Looking forward
