    Ubisoft have done a great job with For Honor. This version runs smoothly with the most common graphic cards, offering a really fine experience to all the players.

    For Honor’s peer-to-peer networking woes do it great injustice, for it is, in its core, a truly unique game that provides us with a competitive multiplayer experience no other game can claim to offer.

    For Honor will inevitably be a favorite title. It combines easy to pick up, complicated to master fighting and action-style gameplay with compelling gameplay types and there's nothing quite like it. However, if you were looking for a single-player game, you might not want to purchase this title. The heart and soul of For Honor are its multiplayer modes, and unfortunately, at this time, there are enough issues with matchmaking and peer-to-peer connections that you may want to wait until Ubisoft has some time to fix those problems. However, once For Honor has a solid networking backbone I can say it'll be one of my go to multiplayer titles for the next few years to come.

    While the game’s fairly high skill ceiling and emphasis on micro-transactions might be off-putting to some players, For Honor is an experience that’s truly fit for those that are warriors at heart.

    Amazing rich gameplay that is sadly let down by an overly complex UI and hidden barely there tutorials. Sure to be a long term hit. [Issue#260, p.60]

    For Honor's tactical, forceful swordplay is extremely well-executed, especially for a first attempt. It's just a shame it's attached to so many distractions, including a bewildering story mode.

Yes, there are still occasional connection errors and the stability of the game is still not perfect. But every update has indeed improved the situation, and they are indeed listening to players. Check the subreddit if you're in doubt. Things are actually looking up. It's like deja-vu from Rainbow Six: Siege really. Expand

    Review ITALIANUn gioco non per tutti.
    Il gioco di per se è fantastico, meccaniche e grafica stupenda.
    Unico problema è il fatto di dover comprare con il metallo(valuta del gioco) per comprare le skin o vari "fatality"
    Di per se se si toglie il fatto di dover usare il metallo come se fosse un gioco f2p darei volentieri un 9.
    I giocatori sono ben pochi, spesso si fa fatica a trovare una partita nella settimana da lun-giov entro un minuto.
    Alcuni personaggi sono nettamente più avvantaggiati, anche se diciamo possono avere dei counter.
    La personalizzazioni delle abilità è carina come idea ma alla fine non migliora il gioco, anzi...
    Non capisco perchè ha un voto così basso, probabilmente proprio perchè i "casual gamer" che vogliano sempre vincere hanno notato che non ti becchi sempre quello al tuo stesso livello di abilita... ma a me sta bene, è un modo per migliorare a giocare e accettare la sconfitta.
    Review English:

    A game not for everyone.
    The game itself is fantastic, mechanical and beautiful graphics.
    Only problem is the fact of having to buy with the metal (currency of the game) to buy the skins or various "fatality"
    By itself if you take away the fact of having to use the metal as if it were a game f2p I would gladly give a 9.
    The players are very few, it is often difficult to find a match in the week from Mon-Thu within a minute.
    Some characters are clearly more advantaged, even if we say they can have counter.
    The customization of skills is nice as an idea but in the end does not improve the game, on the contrary ...
    I do not understand why he has such a low rating, probably because the "casual gamers" who always want to win have noticed that you do not always get the same skill level ... but I'm fine with it, it's a way to improve play and accept defeat.

Unlocking equipment is an incredible grind, this game is designed like a F2P game with microtransactions, and unlocking everything without paying is impossible. The game also uses P2P hosting instead of servers (seriously...in 2017) which leads to incredibly long match load times and horrible, random lag spikes.

    It's a shame, the game had lots of potential, but Ubisoft ruined it with a few awful decisions. This game actually has turned me off from buying any future Ubisoft multiplayer games.

The biggest issue is connexion and i think every gamer agree on this.
    Last but not least you just need to check how player level are, big levels from one side and low level from the other. I don't understand ubisoft logic here. Just do an average and all people will be happy.. but thanks ubisoft...
