    There have been a few ridiculous reviews here where the reviewers have happily scored the game 0 - 2 point.
    Porridge would score more if hooked up to a joypad.
    The game is excellent. Beautiful and visceral. I have had some great moments throwing other hapless players off stuff (and have had it happen to me too). Dominion can get crazy intense, especially around mid. Love it love it love

    I had ZERO connection issues with the exception of a couple of migrations. But largely flawless.
    Great customization, although I would like more options for a really distinct look.
    Plenty to learn and get to grips with as learning your opponent's abilities is as important as your own. There is a tactic for all. Keep exploring.
    As a moment to moment thing, park your brain and enjoy. It's brilliant.

    Definitely recommend for players with fighting game background. Surprised to see all the fighting game fundamentals implemented into the game. Footies, Feints, Cancels--they're all so satisfying when pulled off skillfully.

    Be aware the learning curve will be frustrating at first. But will feel natural after understanding the mechanics!

    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.

    I love action games where you don't go hacking and slashing and just plainly destroying everything where you go. I like challenges.

I like challenges. FOR HONOR does this: a challenge where precision, skill, style, and battle tactics combine in the way of the warior in order to outsmart your oponents. If you are a fan of realism in movement and animation, you will be pleased that they get this right; the moveset of the characters is based on actual martial arts.

    Mix in a cauldron an action game, historical accuracy with Souls-like engine and fighting mechanics, you get FH.
    Being a dedicated Souls fan helped me in order to understand the battle mechanics, where accuracy and timing are law. It is not a game for everyone, since For Honor demands dedication in a kind of game that enhaces duels, imagination, patience...

    It lacks for competitive scene because of the connectivity issues. Ubisoft decided to use P2P instead of dedicated servers. This is a major issue to be fixed.

    I reccomend this game a LOT for both casual and hardcore gamers, since you will be part of the fun.

    Graphics - very good
    Sense of progression - good
    Customization - very good, not amazing
    Music - I prefer to put my own background music
    Voice acting - very good (I expected a lot less quality in the voice acting)
    Replayability - MP (infinite); Solo (moderate, depending if you want all the collectibles)
    Campaing - good, interesting. Lacks "tactic" diversity like a meta-game where you can give orders to troops.
    Controls - very good for a fighting/realistic game (don't expect Street Fighter flashy moves)
    Maps - I like them, but they still need some work in the level design.
    MP experience - WHY P2P??? My biggest complain!!! This game needs dedicated servers.

    8.7/10 but I give it a 10 because some **** are just givin unfair scores.

    for honor is a game that you don't appreciate til you play it, I had low expectations for it but it has surpassed my highest hopes. it takes skill to be good and gear doesn't determine everything.
    I love the different classes and how unique each style is. If you take the time to learn one hero you can beat higher level players with better gear. the game looks great visually and so far

I am very weary of ubisoft but I have to give them credit where it is due they seem to have done this game right, the only thing imo it needs is some rebalancing of elimination mode and dedicated servers so we can customize game modes, other than that the story mode is great and the online is addictive.
    Everyone complaining about P2P either hasn't played the game or they are just unlucky as I have only encountered maybe 1-2 times throughout closed beta and open beta and launch where I had a game disconnect. YMMV but my friends have the same experience. the game is so much better with teammates you know but not necessary to have fun. If you think this is a regular hack and slash you are in the same boat I was when I first saw it but I'm telling you your mind will be changed after you play it. if you enjoyed mount and blade warband or war of the roses the combat system is similar although improved. I hope to see this game succeed to it gets more content to keep it fresh for a long time to come. If you have any doubts about this game I am confident playing a few games of brawl is enough to change your mind=)

The combat is fluid when you learn the animations, and while some classes are generally better than others, none are excessively overpowered. All cosmetics (apart from a few that are linked to buying other games) can be earned without purchasing steel (in-game currency). Stat-boosting gear does not affect smaller game modes; it only provides cosmetic changes. The various classes allow for diverse gameplay. The game includes a co-op campaign. The graphics are a little gritty, but they look great overall.

    The only real drawbacks are the learning curve, some strangely long animation recoveries (there is no indicator for when an animation is over, by the way), and very minor hitbox issues, in addition to minor class balance problems. Many people will complain about strong classes and certain parts of the combat that they don't like, often because they don't want to learn to play around them, but all can be learned with some dedicated practice. Matches versus players feel lag-free; they just have occasional hiccups (pauses for everyone at once) when someone leaves.

    It's hard to describe For Honor, as it is pretty unique. At its core it's a "fighting game with swords", but at a slower pace compared to traditional fighting games.

At its core it's a "fighting game with swords", but at a slower pace compared to traditional fighting games. The combat system takes a little while to get used to, but once you are familiar with it, it works really well and has a lot more depth than you might think at first sight. The 12 characters all have unique playstyles, with their own combos and special moves, so the game feels fresh whenever you start learning how to play a new one. On top of that the animations are gorgeous, the graphics are great and there are tons of cosmetic customization options (most of them you unlock as you gain XP on each character), so watching those fights is a visual treat.

    I'm currently half-way through the campaign and having fun with it, but it's clearly not the main focus of the game: it's very linear and mostly serves as an introduction to the fight mechanics and the various characters available. The real meat is the online part, with several game modes that cater to different tastes (including coop players vs bots, which is great to get familiar with maps and online mechanics without too much pressure). Personally I've never been a big fan of PvP but this is the first game where I'm really enjoying it, so I suggest you give it a shot even if it's not your thing!

    To conclude, a note on the lack of dedicated servers that got the game such a bad rep: personally I had no major issue in the beta, and never suffered any noticeable lag. I won't pretend it's bug-free, but with Ubisoft having already announced lots of updates through the year to come, and seeing what they've done with Rainbow Six Siege so far, I'm confident the game will improve a lot over time. And it's already great :)

    Its Tactical, Have a very deep fighting system with no what so ever P2W mechanics.
    Instead the MP is highly skill based. Even if your opponent have a slightly better gear you can still block and get those sweet openings in where you can do some massive damage.

    The servers are p2p and a little unstable i've heard but I my self haven't had a problem what so ever with disconnects or drop outs or lag. I don't know but people complaining must be on a rely bad internet con.

    Also, If ppl stop buying the Deluxe or Gold editions they wouldn't be pissed about the price and what they get.
    I got my for 33 Euro and its worth every single penny. Tho I guess kids and streamers these days want those cool emblems and smoke effects so they look cool in there twitch streams so they pay 20 euro extra.
    But then please stop whining like little pigs about the price ffs.

    The only - I can find about this game so far is the SP mode with a story I found a little lacking but maybe a DLC will fix that up. Everything else then that is top 10/10. Ubisoft might be on its way back. Also, Play SP on hardest diff or its to easy (imo) .

    For Honor is primarily a competitive multiplayer focused hand to hand combat game
    But does feature a 6 1/2 hr. long campaign,
    IT can be played in co-op or alone and is spread across 3 chapters.. One for each faction... the knights... Vikings... and samurai... and each chapter contains 6 missions and all end in an epic boss battle…
    You even play as different characters with different fighting styles throughout the chapters..
    I was surprised what I got with the campaign…
    The story was interesting, as it deals with the art of war…
    and the gameplay manages to feel fresh throughout most of the campaign...
    You never really notice that you’re doing the same thing over and over... which is going checkpoint to checkpoint and killing everything in your way for xp…
    This is very much a game for the aggressive type...
    No stalking your prey here
    It is worth actively picking fights and searching the surrounding area and not just running to objectives because the game does have points of interests to give back story to your location.. They’re pretty well hidden though which is a shame because I loved listening to them as I fought… and it brought life to the level...
    And killing enemies again gives you xp...
    There’s a story level cap of 30 and as you level up you’ll unlock new perks like the ability to heal yourself or boost your damage or defense…
    As well as pick up consumables throughout the level to use in combat to poison enemies, catch them on fire, heal your allies just to name a few
    It doesn’t quite have a AAA campaign feel to it though…
    It feels very much like an afterthought… but it still managed to put in a few surprising moments in there that I wasn’t expecting with the type of game this is...
    I felt it was a great campaign... but far from amazing...
    And I’m not sure if it’s the gameplays fault or the setting, but during chapter 3 as the samurai, all interest in the story disappeared… the game started to feel repetitive, the level and mission design started to feel lazy and I was ready to just hop into the competitive modes…
    But I still definitely recommend playing through the campaign first..
    Dealing with Ai enemies programmed specifically to act certain ways in combat will teach you all sorts of tricks for dealing with human enemies... and it takes the combat system deeper than the tutorial does putting you way ahead of the competition as at this moment only about 4% of players beat the story..
    You’ll learn how to deal with annoying blockers, light attack or heavy attack spammers... as well as use combos and easily be able to handle groups of enemies…
    The Actual Multiplayer is pretty great too for a while..
    When the game starts you choose a faction but you can still use any and every character...
    The faction is just the team you’re on fighting to take control of the map...
    It does reset every month…
    And there are tons of customizable options to make your characters feel like yours...
    And much like the story mode you unlock feats here as well, which act like perks as you level up
    There are currently 5 different competitive modes..
    Dominion which is a 4v4 capture and hold game, skirmish and elimination which are 4vf4 team death match games, and finally 1v1 duel, and 2v2 brawl
    unfortunately Dominion and skirmish are really the only 2 modes worth playing…
    The game does an awful job at distributing teammates evenly and fairly…
    But these 2 modes are where this matters the absolute least…
    In Elimination, duel, and brawl...
    This is where the flaws and imbalances of the game and its characters start to show…
    Some characters have spammable and unlockable attacks that put you on your back or leave you defenseless…
    And online players feel no shame in doing this to secure a win…
    The fact that there are so many unlockable moves really ruins these modes…
    especially when they can mean instadeath near a ledge in a duel…
    These modes ultimately feel cheap…
    There ultimately isn’t enough in For Honor to keep people playing for months…
    The game is hard to pick up and unlockable spam attacks ruin player encounters..
    But it’s still a great game... at least for a little while…
    I give For Honor
    an 8/10

    The combat here is absolutely flawless. Its resemblance to Dark Souls is undeniable, which involves strategy, spacing, combos, perry, counters, and more (you can say it borrows from fighting games too). It has a deep and complex system that makes you pay attention to everything you do and prevents you -technically- to just spam one button. It offers 3 factions each with 4 warriors, so far. A balanced, a strong, an agile and a kinda hybrid class. All of them with a different playstyle. You choose your strategy. It has a lot of modes, including Dominion, Duels, Team DeathMatch, etc. It's an ideal game to play with friends.

    In conclusion, if you are looking for a deep, complex combat, in a game that is beautifully designed with outstanding graphics and has a lot of content and even a campaign , don't miss For Honor.

    9/10 BUT I'm giving a 10/10 for those mindless "reviewers" who gave this masterpiece a 0.

    -Боевая система проста в освоении(клавиатура или геймпад - это не имеет значения)
    -Сражайтесь в 4-х режимах:"Дуэль(1vs1)","Бойня (2vs2)","Захват территории(4vs4)","Уничтожение(4vs4)"

    Отрицательные стороны:
    -Дорогая игра
    -Отсутствие масштабных сражений
    -Нету комадных заданий
    -Командные режимы включают в себя уничтожение противкиков из 5 ранудов и захват точек.Слишком банально.

The campaign mode is a bit underwhelming honestly but the multiplayer carries it a lot. It's a hard buy if you're not committed to the game but if you like skill based competitive games and fighting games then go for it. The devs are planing to support the game as they've done for R6:siege, which bascially means free maps and characters to come. Expand

It's not anywhere near pay to win since most of the pay wall is for cosmetic items only and the skill factor to play this game means items only give an edge additionally nothing is locked out since you earn steel in game and are granted premium boxes for good play. If you walk into this game thinking you are the man and get your butt handed on a silver platter that's a personal issue that can be solved by practice since most everyone starts out sucking. If there is a downside of this game its the internet connectivity since there are occasional drops and stutters every so often. The game looks and plays brilliantly and I highly recommend it if you can stand the heat of competition if not look elsewhere. Expand

Heroes have a lot of depth, it's as demanding skill-wise as a normal fighter, it makes you really mad at times, but when you start learning how to really play an hero, it is absolutely rewarding. One of the best games I've played for sure. Would absolutely recommend it. Just don't expect to buy the game to play the story mode, as its purpose is for the player to learn how to play most of the available heroes, and not to engage you in the lore of For Honor. Expand

    My expectations and concerns with this game have been a roller coaster of ups and downs. When it first was announced at E3 I didn’t expect much of it, but when content began to release and the classes began to get spoiled, I got really excited about this project.

    Fortunately I’ve been able to play the Demo several times, the Closed and Open Betas, and now I’ve packed around 12 hours to the whole thing, not touching the Story mode because let’s be honest it sounds interesting and all but the main focus and what will define the game in a year from now is going to be the multiplayer (I see story as just a bonus).

    I loved/hated the Betas, the gameplay was amazing, challenging and always felt that each battle was unique, the player that had more skill and overall adapted better to the opponent and even the environment wins, managing resources like skills and stamina to emerge victorious. The thing that made me hate the beta was the technical difficulties with the internet connection and NAT issues… it was painful to have to tweak or restart my router every now and then to be able to have green or yellow NAT and be able to play with a friend. In the end I thought to myself many times if the time invested in trying to play was worth it, and hoped that Ubisoft fixed all this issues for the full game.

    I have to say I’m impressed, in my mind a part of me was certain that the issues mentioned above would continue to persist on the full game build, since open beta ended two days before launch, I can gladly say I was wrong. In the two days that I’ve been playing I had no connection issues at all, everything is running way better than in the Beta, even with the P2P porting… which I still hope they change so that the ranked competitive scene isn’t affected.

    I’ve been enjoying this game like crazy, the amount of customization unlockables is something really nice that I haven’t seen in a while (reminds me a lot of Halo Reach but in a more focused way for each character you level up), each class is unique with its own difficulty and fun to learn, the game modes are amazing (except for skirmish) with the promise of more to come, the maps are so different from each other and even the night/day, dominant faction icons and climate changes are a nice touch and finally the graphics at its highest with the anti-aliasing option on are beautiful.

    I was saddened when I entered to see how the reviews where going, and not because they are bad reviews, everyone is entitled to their own opinion… but by the reasons people are reviewing it badly. I’m seeing lot of complains about the Beta which is not the full game, about P2P porting which at least for me have not caused any trouble since launch, about the story mode which as I stated before is not the main focus of the game (this is like complaining about OW not having story mode), but the one that blows my mind is the gameplay because it’s difficult, “slow paced” and people can’t battle more than one person at a time (people that are saying this didn’t play enough or just gave up to easily).

    This is something that players must know before entering For Honor: the game is difficult to pick, difficult to master, learning curve depends heavily in one self persistently sticking to a character and be willing to learn all of its mechanics. This being said if you are willing to take the time to learn how to play, to be tricky and to be patient enough to look for opportunities to damage your opponents, you will end up enjoying this game, especially if you play it with your friends.

    I would recommend this game to everyone excited for it and willing to invest time learning and getting better, winning battles is so rewarding and enjoyable and every three months there is the promise of new characters and content, I say it’s a must buy if you are looking for a unique hardcore multiplayer experience.

Not the connection issues ( I have only gotten disconnected once or twice )but, the fact that people don't have honor. Seriously like 80% of people just go for throws or only team up on people. They have 1v1 and 2v2 which is good but the 4v4 elimination mode needs some sort of honor system to weed out the lame people of the world. Other than that the issues are small in my medium sized town with my second rate internet. Oh and it runs amazing. Seriously smooth optimization. Oh and the single player is totally worth playingin a single player or cooperative environment.

    While For Honor is an excellent game as far as gameplay goes, it does have some dents in its armor. The "P2P" component of the multiplayer can ruin immersion when the "host" leaves the game for whatever reason.

    While For Honor is an excellent game as far as gameplay goes, it does have some dents in its armor. The "P2P" component of the multiplayer can ruin immersion when the "host" leaves the game for whatever reason. Launch was a bit buggy with some of those bugs to still be addressed (though some are being fixed in an upcoming patch).

    The combat system flows well and each hero has its own style and feel making for a very different experience for each one. There is a certain level of satisfaction when going up against an opponent of equal or greater skill and coming out on top without cheesing a fight using environmental hazards. Dominion, Elimination, and Skirmish modes feel like a good battle between 8 people split into two teams of four. The Duel (1v1) and Brawl (2v2) modes feel awesome when connections to other players aren't an issue. There is almost an unspoken code of honor for most players in 2v2 that it is left to duels to see who comes out on top before attacking again.

    When playing against the AI it presents a bit of a challenge as players tend to stick to a few combinations for their heroes while the AI uses everything at its disposal. If you are doing a complete AI match including bots on your side in Dominion and Deathmatch the bots for whatever reason like to lay there dead instead of respawning when it becomes available.

    Everything said For Honor is an excellent looking game with great combat, however the "P2P" component leaves something to be desired when it comes to this kind of system that requires precise timing. I wouldn't say that I can justify paying full price for this game, however if you can find it on sale somewhere it is worth picking up and having some fun burying an axe into someone's skull or slicing someone's head off with your sword.

The graphics are pretty fine on the PC. There is a clever low-render system to ensure you meet the 30fps on any system without taking a massive hit on the graphics. There is a sorry DLC system, unabashedly aimed to extract every last shekel out of you - it sort of demeans the excellent work Ubisoft put into the gameplay. I don't expect this sort of crap in a game I paid £40 for.

    Awesome game, the multiplayer is exciting but the only problems are the servers and the micro transactions.To upgrade your character is very difficult because at the end of the match they gives you 40 coins and the battle packs costs 500 coins,

    some reviewers here are more to criticize a bug with the game rather than looking up a solution for it, many here saying the game has connectivity issue and delivering it as the game is going to be a hell of experience, ill say im playing the game from UAE - Dubai and i have face a game disconnected maybe 1 or 2 times since i bought the game 10 days ago and its not a big deal at all, mostsome reviewers here are more to criticize a bug with the game rather than looking up a solution for it, many here saying the game has connectivity issue and delivering it as the game is going to be a hell of experience, ill say im playing the game from UAE - Dubai and i have face a game disconnected maybe 1 or 2 times since i bought the game 10 days ago and its not a big deal at all, most of time im having great experience playing the game and thats coz i google the ports need to be opened inside my router prior to playing the game, and you might also put your system IP Address in DMZ mode so it will open all ports for this game and all other games in future but this is a little risky practice do it only if you know what are you doing (just google), and some says you need to buy currency of the game (steel) but they didnt mention that steel can be earned freely by doing orders and contract for free and even by playing any match you will earn a little of steel, the game is amazing game and i found it very balanced and have a variety of modes and customization which will make you never get bored of it, many payable contents for those who wanna take it a little further with customization and ranking a bit faster but its not necessary to buy as its not effecting the game play, some bugs as always with any new game would have and ubisoft already announce working on new patch to fix those issues, although those bugs are not affecting the game experience at all and i would never knew they are exist unless i heard about from a review on you tube, guys my advise is to check more reviews and game-play before you judge or believe some false reviewers, for me this is the best game ive played in years.

    This game gets a 10 even with the technical issues present. The reason? It captures the art of dueling like no other game! The closest I can think of is Jedi Knight II, and this is leaps beyond that game. As a fencer I really appreciate the tempo of the duels. If you want to try a game that is drastically different from the majority of games out there, get this!

    Technical issues usually don't last long and they will become less and less as the game matures. I rarely buy games at full price, but I happily purchased this one. Coolest game I have played in a long time.

    Game is awesome enough, but they are missing a few things. I think with a little time/2nd release this could be a blockbuster. For a single player, such as myself, there aren't many offerings, but even as a single player, it is very entertaining!

    Alright so I rarely write reviews however due to the recent free weekend I decided that this game deserved an honest review ( that isn't a pure I hate Ubisoft review lmao ) ( also i played over 30+ hours during the free play )

    PROS++ - Great Graphics which can immerse you in the game and makes the scope of the maps amazing to look at - The Combat system is simple but **** fun to play
    Alright so I rarely write reviews however due to the recent free weekend I decided that this game deserved an honest review ( that isn't a pure I hate Ubisoft review lmao ) ( also i played over 30+ hours during the free play )

    PROS++
    - Great Graphics which can immerse you in the game and makes the scope of the maps amazing to look at
    - The Combat system is simple but **** fun to play and get ahold of with counters and mix-ups that can make every encounter unique and ( mostly ) when you fight against someone , and you win, it gives you a great feeling of knowing you were able to out-play your opponent(s)
    - The range of Characters you can play that all have a unique style of play which is tailored to that character alone.
    - The addition and effort of a story mode ( while it may be bland ) the effort itself deserves to be appriciated.

    Cons--
    - Balancing this game is an issue that may drive people away but lets be honest, every single multiplayer game has balancing issues from league to dota and even siege. So i'll put this under cons because making a neutral section would be too bland
    - The community that plays it is regrettably negative ( as you can see with the reviews which SOME are clearly warrented with the launch of the title but the reviews of people playing only playing 4 or less hours is just **** ) but that doesn't bother me too much
    - The devs neglect to fix the bugs of the game up until the recent upcoming patch cant be tolerated so im going to leave this as a con until we can see what happens
    - The Ubisoft tournament the other day was a disaster so enough said.

    Post Comments !
    The game itself is a blast to play and I will be picking it up as of tomorrow and I can't wait to dive back into it again

    Still play to this day, still updated. This is a rare occasion where a multiplayer game finds it's halo and it's niece of players, and never looks back, it's still fun to play. Sometimes you know there are some balancing issues but in the end you forgive them because the game is so perfect.

    An equally frustrating and satisfying multiplayer medieval fighting game that looks great and plays great with its incredible optimization; but falls short of the content and networking department. Nonetheless, it's one of the best fighting games I have ever played to date, and I'm not even a fan of the genre.

    The game is much more better than its current score. It isn truth that game is p2w. Yes there are microtransactions but everything you can buy for ingame currency are new heroes cosmetics changes or faster lvling. It is not necessary to buy anything. Every hero is fully unlocked from begining and fight is based on the skill.
    What i dislike is singleplayer campaign which is quite boring

But the game as a tool to deliver you fun is great. I don't recommend it for more than 50 hrs, and you should bring your friend with you, but overall it's a good game. Gameplay design is original (not new and fresh, but still it's not 'new' moba), graphics are awesome, the soundtrack is ok and user experience depends on other users.
    Oh, and this game has few hrs of single player story. And it's worth your time!
    I may sound like a fanboy, but I really appreciate this game. Don't buy a season pass or deluxe copy of this game, Wait and grab basic starter pack on a discount and you will be happy. Or not, because it's not an RPG or strategy. It's not what you may expect.

    For Honor is unique, has amazing graphics, animations, and gameplay and a huge curve learning to master it. The lack of balancing is the major issue and the decision to launch the game without dedicated servers was the biggest mistake made, which was thankfully fixed a long time ago.

Because of the revenge tweaks 1 v X situations are less frustrating. Almost every character can open up an opponent expect Centurion, but his rework has been confirmed by the developers. The only problems For Honor currently has are hero balance and feat balance. I have 150+ reputations and 1400 hours and the game doesn't feel repetitive to me. If I start feeling bored I'll just play another character or game mode. I see For Honor only getting bigger in the future! Expand

L'unica pecca è che un gioco davvero impegnativo, gli attacchi leggeri hanno una velocità di 400ms, il che rende anche solo pararli impossibile per la maggior parte dei giocatori. Li renderei meno veloci, più leggibili, perché personalmente non ho problemi, mi reputo molto forte su For Honor, ma se non ci gioco per un mesetto, giocando ad altro, è sempre un trauma giocare e ri-abituarsi ai suoi tempi, il che mi invoglia spesso a fare 2 partitine e chiudere. Altra cosa, più nello specifico, sono certi attacchi di certi eroi, tipo l'attacco leggero velenoso della sciamana, quello che fa fintando un pesante, è LETTERALMENTE imparabile, non puoi reagire a quell'attacco, DEVI predictarlo, il che non va bene. Ma nonostante questi difetti, rimane un gioco unico, bello, vario e che dà tantissima soddisfazione. Expand

While there are microtransactions available, they are not necessary as you can purchase all characters and cosmetics using the in-game currency. You earn enough currency through battles to make these purchases. The game offers different modes and a variety of characters, making it quite enjoyable. Each character has a unique moveset, making it both challenging and motivating to learn and try out a new hero. Overall, it's a great game, although there may be some salty moments ;) Expand

    It's feature-creep, in short, bloat orbiting an excellent core. In that regard, at least, For Honor is a Ubisoft game. [May 2017, p.112]

    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.
