When survival horror game Outlast came to PlayStation 4 earlier this year, I loved it. What I was most impressed with was how defenseless your character was. Armed with little more than a battery-dry handheld camera, you weren’t hunting. You were exploring, and more often than not, you were hiding, fearful for your life.
Games don’t typically tread in this space, rarely choosing to remove most – or even all – power from the player. And while the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order: 1886 is a guns-blazing third-person shooter, I was happy to know that it’s not solely about being on the offensive. It tempers its two distinct styles – Gears of War-like cover-shooting mechanics and silent exploration – to create something unique. This fact alone has piqued my interest significantly as we head towards its launch in early 2015.
