    This game is a tale of both love and hate. It involves PVP melee combat and I have personally played it, experienced rage and uninstalled it at times. However, I have also reinstalled it and played again. It can be quite frustrating, but this should not deter you from trying it out. The game boasts impressive graphics, smooth gameplay, and phenomenal animations that include executions.This game is a tale of both love and hate.

It can be quite frustrating, but this should not deter you from trying it out. The game boasts impressive graphics, smooth gameplay, and phenomenal animations that include executions. 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

    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.

    Great game. The story is not really well, but okay. The scoring is great, visual is amazing, the voice & sound is also amazing. Multiplayer is really fun & really addictive

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

    Гениальная игра от тривиального издателя. В итоге игра растеряла весь свой потенциал еще на выходе, а вернуть получилось лишь на Marching Fire. Однако сразу после начали вводить пососных героев, которые абсолютно неинтересны с точки зрения геймдизайна.Гениальная игра от тривиального издателя.

    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.

    На старте были проблемы со многим, да и сейчас с балансом есть, но это не отменяет того факта что в данном жанре играется отлично если конечно ты пройдешь порог вхождения т.к здесь он довольно большой.

Bugs are at an all time low and the developers are releasing new content really rapidly. The fighting system is unique and easy to understand. 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

    This is really a good game. I, a guy who played over 1500+ hours, can confidently pronounce that this game will not get you bored, even if you not fighting lover. This game has:
    -Beautiful graphics
    -Addictife gameplay system, as every fight is always something new -Lots of different characters that you can choose for your style -And lots of gamemodes that you can choose to conquer,

    If the saying "Once a year and a stick shoots" is suitable for games, then it is an ideal for this game, as For Honor is really a very unique project from Ubisoft, and I hope you will also take a look at this game

    Some amazing graphics and gameplay. The only reason I did not give this game a 10/10 was because of the matchmaking, at times it puts you against higher and more experienced players then you and your teammates which could be improved.

    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.

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

    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.

And it's multiplayer! It can be clumsy, servers are unstable sometimes, and people are people, keep in mind that, because the main problem in this game is if you are playing with great guys or with this little piece of samurai lover, Orochi main metrosexual waifu lover fruitcake. 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.

    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

    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.
