Youtuber PlayMeThrough completed Order 1886 and answered questions about the game.
No spoilers.

1. Took me a little over 5 hours on my first playthrough (including all cutscenes)

2. Not much replayability. You can't level up any skills or anything and there is no New Game+. And you cannot skip cutscenes either, so it would be the exact same experience I'm afraid. Pretty much the only side thing you can do is looking for collectibles, but that's it. No challenges or whatever.

3. Well maybe it's 2 hours or 2,5. I didn't measure the time, but the majority of it is cutscenes. So 1,5 hours or 2,5 hours doesn't seem like a big difference either way. Obviously depends on the player.
If you really get into finding collectibles I'm sure you can spend much more time with it. Or if you play on hard difficulty (which I wasn't). But my best guess, based on what I have captured it's around 1,5h-2h gameplay and rest was cutscenes. Take the first 4 chapters for example, maybe 35% of that was gameplay. Some chapters consist only of cutscenes. And often times there are these "interactive" cutscenes with QTEs where you need to press some buttons, but I wouldn't count that as gameplay.
It's more of an interactive movie to me, which isn't a bad thing. Hence the film stripes. So calm down everyone. Jesus :D

4. Well sort of... the game doesn't always tell you where to go or what to do exactly. Sometimes you have to figure that out on your own (like moving a cart to climb up to the next area). Or you have to interact with certain objects or need to wait for your teammates to do something. But all in all it doesn't require too much thinking and all objects you can interact with are highlighted when you stand close to them.




heres a review

Bruh, did you just take this from another Topic?

[Deezay]

Yeah, breh shyt is garbage. :haaaa:

I'm going to have to decide that on my own. I respect your opinion.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Don't really have any expectations for the game but I'm SICK of reviewers playing games on EASY and then saying how short they are. I only pick the hardest difficulty so that when I beat it I feel like I accomplished something. What's the point of rushing through a game with no challenge

how is he reviewing it when the embargo isn't lifted until Thursday?
