    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.

    This game is pretty awesome. It's a very unique idea and everything about it is awesome as well. Graphics and story are great, game play isn't the best, but isn't the worst either.

    Ubi, where you just trying your best to annoy players, when you designed this ****

    for the rest: good graphics and gameplay can be fun,but it's p2w. progression is way way way way too slow and frustrating. ui design is terrible,navigating the menus is slow and clunky. annoying off-center camera, why the hell isn't there a centered camera? loot boxes are best opened at high levels,so you're wasting them or just waiting a very long time before opening them,making the progress super unrewarding and boring. there's no sense of progression, it's one of the most unrewarding games i've ever played. so much wasted potential.    … 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.

    The game is pretty looking and the animations are great, but otherwise it is really lacking.

    The controls are extremely sluggish and frustrating, especially with Mouse & Keyboard. There are moves that are far more useful than others and can alone win you a fight.

    I've had many crashes, all for various reasons relating to the game.

    Microtransactions.

    Gameplay is just the standard MOBA stuff with performance enhancing perks that allow nearly one-hit kills on newer players. The game is hideously unbalanced, and makes absolutely no apologies for or attempts to make up for this. Aside from that, the connection problems are truly game-breaking, with 17ms ping giving a 2-5 second delay between a hit being initiated on one screen vs another (no wonder blocking straight-up doesn't work at all online).

    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.

    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    … 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.
