I played the biplane missions in Battlefield 1 and a handful of missions in Red Dead Redemption 1 on Xbox One, but I spent more time replaying The Order 1886 on PS4.

The Order 1886 is all about a secret order of traditionalists fighting an anarchist, worker’s rights movement. I came across this theme in the Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments game too with the Merry Men plotting destruction on the government. They are both based on the real-life anarchist and socialist movements of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Lycans in The Order 1886 represent a primal power whose allegiance is uncertain to me at the moment. The Lycans are set against the technological powers of the secret society, who are a special-forces unit working for the elite. The heroes just want what is true and right, but find themselves torn between two evils, or three if you include the supernatural. 

I think this game is visually stunning, although much of it isn’t interactive, like Bioshock Infinite. Gameplay is standard, but very solid, gunplay and melee fighting ala Wolfenstein: New Order.

The previous time I played it I got stuck about half way through on normal difficulty. This time I'm on easy and got past that part and am forging my way to the end. I’ll pick up where I left off sometime tomorrow.
