I've have not been this frustrated at a game in years. I even kind of threw the controller at one point.
For the record; I'm playing on Hard and while the game overall is not that hard, there are some sections where it becomes a nightmare to get through. This is all due to bad design, in my opinion. It's clearly one of those cases where the game was 'balanced' on Normal and for the Hard mode they just gave you half the hit points. And while that works for most of the game, it will skyrocket the difficulty in some scenario's.
You also don't have a lot of options when in combat. When playing The Last Of Us, I died a lot as well, but could always try some different approach. In the case of The Order 1886 you just go through that door again and hope the AI won't get a lucky hit this time.
For the people that have not played the game yet; I'll give 2 examples of those 'uber frustration' sections in the game, so spoilers:
I just wish there were more options available in combat. Priming a grenade, let the AI lose sight of you, jump through a window, distract the guards, etc. But all the fights take place in such straightforward enclosed spaces, your only options are either to fire or fire later.
I guess I'll have to wait for Uncharted 4..
