Let's get this out of the way now: yes, The Order: 1886 is the most beautiful game that I've seen on the PlayStation 4. What developer Ready at Dawn has managed to do, and that few games thus far really have, is capture the grainy imperfect look of film. It's those very imperfections, along with some spectacular depth-of-field effects, that make The Order's visuals so believable. But from what I've played so far, these beautiful visuals are being married to some dull action.

But the positives first. The Order not only pulls off the filmic trick, but it does so with an incredible level of detail. Its pseudo Victorian-era backdrop is a stylistic triumph, or at least it has been so far in the times I've got a healthy hands-on with the game. Everything from the period costumes of its protagonists (the titular order of knights tasked with protecting the world from half-breed werewolves), to their steampunk weapons and gadgets, to the gritty streets of Victorian London are there to be ogled and studied and lusted after. The character models, too, are similarly impressive, with every creek and crevice on their faces brought to life with an eerie level of accuracy--and just wait until you get a load of that sweet lip-syncing.

So there are lots of things to like, and lots of things to make you think, "hey, this game is going to be awesome." The mission I played recently, set aboard a mighty airship, started promisingly enough, with the order rappelling down the airship's balloon in an effort to sneak inside and protect one of its passengers from rebels.
