In our 6/10 review, IGN said: “Though a stylish adventure, The Order: 1886 emphasizes its cinematic polish at the crippling cost of gameplay freedom.”

I think this is the crux of it. It doesn’t mean you can’t make single player games or short games. It still has to be a fun video game. I’d actually love more short games, but if there’s only one prescribed way it can be played, it loses a lot of appeal.
