So The Order’s game time really isn’t that uncommon. It should be noted, though, that a lot of these titles offer something in the way of replayability and extras – something which The Order lacks, according to reviews.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Order 1886: pretty, but short lived?<\/p><\/div>\n
PlayStation 4 titles<\/h3>\n
Perhaps a better\u00a0comparison would be to look at PlayStation 4 releases, and what games on the platform currently offer in the way of play time.<\/p>\n
When compared to other releases on the PlayStation 4, The Order’s purported run-time certainly seems to fall on the lower half of the spectrum.<\/p>\n
Aside from indies, the game only sits ahead of\u00a0Metal Gear Solid V’s paid-for demo Ground Zeroes, which charged half-price for one and a half hours of game time.<\/p>\n

Ready At Dawn founder and CEO Ru Weerasuriya also weighed in on the matter of game length, telling Eurogamer<\/a> that the studio is focused on quality over quantity.<\/p>\n
“Game length is important…Every game has to take its own time to tell its story. Some games can be short. Some games can be long.”<\/p>\n
Are modern games too short?<\/h3>\n
