10 Video Games That Wasted Brilliant Concepts

8. The Order: 1886

There is a good chance that if this game was better, The Order would have been a mainstay PlayStation franchise from its setting alone.

Taking place in an alternate history Victorian England where technology had advanced well past what that time period should've had, the game follows the Knights of the Round Table as they fight off monsters such as werewolves and vampires.

The premise is fantastic, and nothing else quite like it was out at the time. In fact, this game came out a month before Bloodborne, the only other game that could be compared to The Order's world and setting on the console.

But the game itself was a let down. While the world and presentation was immaculate, the gameplay was much too simple, the length of the game was much too short, and the story did not make full use of its inspired setting. On top of that, The Order was not nearly as interactive as it should've been, falling back on quick time events over active gameplay.
