    Just make a sequel already the story is amazing gameplay is good everything is good but at some point of this games development through years ubi just pulled the plug. This could've been so good now its just mediocre waiting in a corner to reach its full potential.

    For Honor is a good game, but is difficult to get into with it's declining playerbase and extra steep learning curve where every beginner's first 50 games are just getting themselves steamrolled.

    Game-play: Easy to learn but hard to master, and it's also very unbalanced, some heroes and way better than others, and there is also that "Business model" about releasing a new hero being overpowered then nerfing him after a few months. And dont even think about buying this game to fight bots or single player, this game is all about fighting other players online. Recently every hero got a bash and I think we will reach a point where every hero will get a bash which is really breaking the game and now all heroes feel the same, this game in recent years moved to a very spammy gameplay, the more you spam the more you win, which sucks because there is a good game behind all of that spam.

    Story:A story made just so people kill each other, its very basic but gets the job done.

    Graphics: Vey good, and the cosmetics in this game are one of the best cosmetics in online games ever.

    Sound: Good music and sound affects.

    Fun: Hit or miss, you will either hate this game or love it, sometimes hate and love it at the same time. But worth a shot for sure.

Then the game struck by its smoothness, play very nice, as there are a couple of places because of which I want to stop and consider better. I understand that the game is focused on multiplayer, and the story, purely familiar with the management. But more than half of the missions are the usual races, monotonous battles, even the plot inserts can not boast of anything. In the end, there are probably about three Missy, one for each clan, and the rest is the usual mess, the ending was weak, the main zlodejka merged very quickly and without any postscripts, although the game built it a monster and a great warrior, but in fact..
    Оценка и все сказанное, относится только к сюжетной компании. Начало показалось интересным, нам показали героя, за, что он сражается и против кого. Дальше игра поразила своей плавностью, играть очень приятно, так же есть пару мест из - за которых хочется остановиться и рассмотреть получше. Я понимаю, что игра с упором на мультиплеер, а сюжетная, чисто ознакомиться с управлением. Но больше половины миссий это обычные забеги, однообразные бои, даже сюжетные вставки ничем не могут похвастать. В итоге наверное есть около трех миссий, по одной за каждый клан, а остальное обычное месиво, концовка слабая, главную злодейку слили очень быстро и без послесловий, хотя всю игру строили из нее монстра и великого воина, а на деле..    … Expand

    Good fighting mechanics, terrible business model.

    Even buying the full game you have to grind ingame currency to unlock heroes, and spend 15k steel to unlock one of the season pass heroes (which is a huge amount of currency). You can spend an additional 40$ USD to unlock those 6 season pass heroes, which is rediculous.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nice graphic, nice setting, animation, story. But one question to Ubisoft - Why i can`t play this game offline? - WTF? It`s really sucks. Then i was playing the campaign and there was internet failure for few seconds and what i see? - Message that said to me "There is no internet connection and you will be thrown to main menu". And that thing was happened to me in the middle of campaign mission, so i need to play this mission from start again. Are you kidding me? Does you really think that this is a good gaming experience? Terrible - just terrible, nothing to say anymore.

    And a little spoiler, last boss in Knight campaign is just a crap. Infinite wolfs is a very bad idea. It was not a challenge - it was just annoying, annoying as hell.    … Expand

    + Amazing graphics
    + A great variety of how to play and which hero to play

    - Peer-to-peer connection in multiplayer
    - A big amount of grind
    - A small number of game mods
    - Pretty mediocre singleplayer campaign

    One of the most disappointing games of 2017. I cant believe that such good idea were realised so badly.

    For honor is a fun experience. The microtransactions aren't as intrusive as some people would have you believe. The single player component is also well done. The peer to peer servers are killing the game. I can not give this game higher than a 6, until the severs are fixed.

    What a thrill...

    First off, the title of this game is a misnomer, much like Chivalry. It would be more accurately titled "Gang Up", "Dogpile", or "I Got Kicked Off A ♥♥♥♥ing Cliff Again". That being said, it's pretty fun. I played through the campaign, a lot of VS AI matches and some VS players. As in most games, the first two are fun and the last is to be desperately avoided.

That being said, it's pretty fun. I played through the campaign, a lot of VS AI matches and some VS players. As in most games, the first two are fun and the last is to be desperately avoided.

    For Honor immediately distinguishes itself with its unique directional blocking system, which I should note I found much easier to grasp using a controller as opposed to a mouse, which for some reason makes it awkward to block upwards. While locked on, you need only move your guard in the right direction to intercept most attacks, though some are unblockable. Combat overall is less brainless then Pirates, Vikings & Knights II but at the same time far more acessible then Chivalry. I found myself enjoying both the Kensei's unblockable overhead finishers, the Conqueror's ability to interupt heavy attack chains with his blocks, and the Peacekeeper's bleed effects. In some weird way, it reminds me of One Must Fall: Battlegrounds, an over-the-shoulder fighting game with multiple combatants, though game types and progression are structured like a typical team shooter- albiet with Dynasty Warriors-esque hordes of weak mook soldiers to kill in the control point gametype, Dominion. The classes play differently enough from one another to warrant practicing with each, and require different tactics for success- or you could just knock your opponent off a drop or into some spikes or something.

    I noticed at first that it runs at a rather lower framerate then most other games I'm playing at the moment, and even worse when I try to stream it. It could use some optimization, much like any other major release. It also desperately needs a major overhaul to its netcode: Two of my five friends who have this game were unable to play it due to it's ♥♥♥-backwards peer hosting, a third was unable after only a few matches, and a fourth experiences frequent lobby errors. They at least found it enjoyable... for the few minutes they were able to play it with me. Ubisoft in their infinte genius suggets that you forward ports. In a "Triple-A" release. In 2017.

    It's a sad day when EA can do a better job of supporting a game.

    Very few Ubisoft games have interested me over the years: Sub Culture, Driver: San Francisco, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. I was intially completely disinterested in For Honor until I observed a friend playing some bot matches. Since then I've mostly come around. I'm still not very good at it though.

    I just wish it had pirates and dedicated servers.    … Expand

    For Honor is a flawed game from the start, with peer to peer connections on a game that attempts to be taken seriously on the competitive stage. Many have reported technical issues that prevent them from even playing the game. Even still, the competition is there even with the sub-par connection systems. An honest word of warning though, I don't know how long the community will be around.For Honor is a flawed game from the start, with peer to peer connections on a game that attempts to be taken seriously on the competitive stage. Many have reported technical issues that prevent them from even playing the game. Even still, the competition is there even with the sub-par connection systems. An honest word of warning though, I don't know how long the community will be around. The decline of players as seen on Steamcharts is evident. For Honor has dropped by 75% in one month since launch. These numbers are identical to those seen during the first month of Evolve, which was considered a massive flop.

    For Honor unfortunately also falls into the same paradigm that Evolve and many other multiplayer arena style games have attempted. There are massive amounts of paid content that are extremely time consuming to unlock through gameplay. Ubisoft has gone on record saying they never intended for people to unlock everything. It is difficult for me to view this game as anything other than another platform to sell DLC.

    I found the combat mechanics and gamemodes to be underwhelming. To make a comparison, it felt like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare with long stylish animations mixed with quick time events. If you enjoy Dark Souls style combat or fighting games, you may enjoy this game, but I did not find the animation locks and rock paper scissors style mechanics to be enjoyable.

    Overall it isn't an atrocious game, but it feels distinctly average. Clearly there is fun to be had if you are a fan of this genre, but it did not appeal to my personal tastes. I also find Ubisoft's business practices to be objectionable, and not in the best interest of the consumer.    … Expand

    I did have some issues with the game servers early on, but they seem to have been ironed out. And as mentioned, the voice acting and the story mode could have fleshed out a little better. But if you look past those issues, For Honor is a wonderful title. The variation in game modes makes sure that there is something for everyone, and the maps are rotated enough to keep things fresh. The character classes allow you to choose a play style that suits you, whether it is the strength of the Heavy or the speed of the Assassin class. And with controls that are so smooth and optimised, it never seems as though any class or enemy is overpowered. So, if you excuse me, I’m going to don my armour, collect my shield and blade, and head back out to the battlefield... my team needs me.
