The Order 1886 has gotten a mixed reception from gamers and critics, but at least we’re able to buy the game and decide for ourselves. PS4 gamers in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will have no such choice, apparently.
The two countries have banned The Order 1886. And while they didn’t reveal specifically why The Order 1886 was banned, we can take a few guesses. One is that the game has plenty of adult content. Not to mention that the female character isn’t wearing a veil.
This isn’t the first time Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have banned PlayStation 4 games. The most recent one was Grand Theft Auto 5, which doesn’t come as a surprise, since you can visit a brothel, pay for sex, and then kill the hooker. And they aren’t even wearing a veil. Sacrilege!
Despite its poor reviews, The Order 1886 debuted at the number 1 spot in the UK. So far it’s been a very polarizing game — either people really love it, or really hate it.
