    Another disappointment from Ubisoft. The thing that kills this game the most is peer-to-peer connection. How can such a huge company as Ubisoft tell us to f*ck off and not create dedicated servers for an AAA title like this? Another minus, just like any other Ubisoft title - Uplay. It's awful! This game will most likely be dead and have no playerbase in a couple of months. You'll see. 4/10

    Just a fast call from me - the game would be great if not for the extremely bad servers and disconnection problems. Matchmaking also works very bad - newbie players usually have to face experienced players that devote more than 5h every day to this game. I also dont like the perks - the game is called "For HONOR" and getting shot by an arrow that requires no skill for 2/3 hp is no fun andJust a fast call from me - the game would be great if not for the extremely bad servers and disconnection problems.

On the other hand, fighting mechanics are great, the game requires a lot of skill and knowledge and graphics is pretty too. Still, I got so frustrated by the server that I made this account solely to rate this as "average" cause Ubisoft seriously doesnt give a sh*t about us players delivering those servers...… Expand

    My opinion, the game is pretty good but the thing is.... all games should have an offline play, simple because where I live the internet connection is not so good and if I can play 2 matches without getting kicked out I'm happy. Second thing is that the game is to expensive now, because 60$ games for me must have a good
    story and a good multiplayer. Altogether the game is worth playing.

    This is like deformed brother of the game Chivalry Medieval Warfare.
    Peer to Peer servers in 2017 is something that nobody should even take seriously.
    But don't worry, you can still buy season pass from day 1.

    Everything else could be amazing (it's good, but not amazing), and the lack of dedicated servers is atrocious. We are supposed to pay $100 for a full game that still has microtransactions on top of that AND it doesn't have dedicated servers. That's a HARD PASS.

    tried to play it. constant network connection problems and lag makes it unplayable. overall duell is boring, people push you down somewhere, great. dominion and deathmatch is all about 2x1 or 3x1 or 4x1 and connection problems. you want to join a game, 10 min of searching, no matchmaking, then during combat loading times, lag and as i mentioned git gud. great game, deinstalled it after 7 hours.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    PSA!

    Do not play this game with keyboard and mouse. Your performance in pvp will be significantly lower than that of someone using controller. It doesn't really matter if all you do is 4v4 Dominion, but if you want to be good at 1v1 and 2v2, you really need the best possible control scheme, and that is the controller, not the kb&mouse.

    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.
