The Order 1886 reviews are beginning to roll out with middling scores, with pros being absolutely stunning presentation, strong narrative and good characters, and cons being relatively average third person shooting mechanics and a heavy reliance upon QTEs and cutscenes.  This isn’t surprising given the game’s marketing as a cinematic experience, and with an average run time of 9-11 hours, (there was a playthrough of 5, but all other sources and reviews are putting it around 10) it seems proper for a cinematic narrative heavy game.
