The Order: 1886 was unquestionably one of the most anticipated releases of 2015, because between its eye-wateringly delicious visuals and the sturdy reputation of PlayStation-exclusive AAA games, what could go wrong?

Ultimately The Order was a gorgeous show-piece for the PS4 but as deep as a puddle, defined by its dull, repetitive third-person shooter gameplay and forgettable story.

But it was also an undemanding game to beat, given that it lasted for all of five breezy hours, enough that many players even reported finishing it on release day.

The Order: 1886 admittedly wasn't a sales juggernaut on launch, but it absolutely became a "wait for a sale" game that many picked up later down the line, largely due to the allure of those wonderful visuals, no matter the complaints about its lackluster gameplay and short length.

The Order: 1886 is right at the bottom of Sony's platform-exclusive titles released over the last decade, and yet, it was easy enough to power through and just savour the amazing aesthetics.
