The Order: 1886 is going to be one of Sony’s major games for 2015 when it launches for PlayStation 4 on Feb. 20. If all goes well, it could be one of the company’s next big franchises, like Uncharted or The Last of Us.

I’d love to see this game live up to its previews. It has great 3D graphics, including realistic human faces and incredibly detailed imagery of London in 1886. It’s also got an interesting story and fleshed-out characters, such as the order of knights who keep the world safe from half-breed monsters.
