    For a Triple A game, not having dedicated servers (P2P servers only) seems like a terrible decision. This game requires precision and twitch combat skills, and any amount of server instability can ruin the experience. Also,
    Steel (the online currency) is purchasable, U-Play is terrible and forced upon consumers. This game has thus far not lived up to the hype at all.

    Totally underwhelming, connection problems, lack of content, repetitive, bad matchmaking, predictable... Classic Ubisoft, stay away, in the future, when sales, when they have fixed the game but nobody plays it... then maybe think about it for 3 hours fun.

    Peer to peer hosting on a game that requires absolute precision is terrible. Core element to the game ruins everything. The amount of stamina loss, when you parry/block attacks is minimal.

The amount of stamina loss, when you parry/block attacks is minimal. Blockers/parry always beats someone trying to actually duel. Combat ends up in trading one or two blows then blocking everything else. Its boring and sluggish gameplay. Using block breaks takes away around a half of your stamina while only being able to attack once or twice after. A power attack should reduce someone's stamina, if they are trying to block/parry. Having such a fundamental mechanic, as flawed as it is, completely ruins the game. Its too easy to counter a feint as well, so there is absolutely no excuse for this kind of game play to exist in this type of game.

    If someone gives this a 10 out of 10, automatically disregard their review. The game is absolute Rubbish, just like the developers who developed the game! Thank god I was able to get a refund on steam. Just bypass this game, and don't waste your money.    … Expand

    AAA game, p2p, no dedicated servers, steel is purchaseable, Uplay is forced and 1vX is broken. The controls feels extremely clunky as well. This doesn't live up to the hype at all, whatsoever. I doubt I will tick in more than 3 hours.

    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!

    That game would get 8/10 if not problems with connection. Sometimes it's pretty OK, but sometimes you gonna get a close fun game where you or your friend is just gonna be suddenly kicked. Oh and btw it can also happen in single player which will make you to start over.

    Fighting is pretty cool but might get tedious after a while. Game worth about 19$ in the current state.

This game is proof that the present day gamer has become complacent. The fact the Ubi Soft can release a game with unbalanced characters and a match making system that fails repeatedly is crazy. For Honor is a quick response game that requires fast reflexes and solid war strategies, I loved the concept of this game and never had issues with graphics or anything like that. But without dedicated severs the game is laggy and its not uncommon to drop out of matches with your friends 2 or 3 times in an hour, which makes this game hard to stick with. With lag and unbalanced characters, there is a handful of characters that are easy to use and are overpowered. Players (including myself) often choose fast dodgy characters because they have an advantage over other players in a game like this because they are harder to block and hit with such lag. You will often hold a direction to block one of these players but find that the hit still go's through because of the delay, you will also find that if you do manage to get them close to death they just run away from you until they get an unfair team fight or find health. You will probably see a descend amount of people saying they don't know why people dislike this game but these players are the ones that play OP characters, I don't find a game fun when I just destroy the other team over and over not because I'm better but just because my character is better and has an advantage. Another unbalanced part of this game is revenge. I like and understand the concept of revenge because it makes fights balanced when you get teamed up on and its nice to get rewarded for things like blocks and dodges. But the problem is that that players get gear that rewards them for getting hit, many times I have been laying a beat down on someone only to have them get revenge 2 of 3 times in a single fight and kill me. I was clearly the more skilled player but because I gained no revenge and lost the fight. NO PLAYER SHOULD GET REWARDED FOR POOR PERFORMANCE and anyone that plays this game will for sure run into this problem. I would say I am pretty good at this game but I never feel good domination a team just because I have better gear or spam revenge. Again I love the idea of this games but its clear MANY corners have been cut and Ubi Soft seems to care less about how many players it has lost. Even to the point that they don't take complaints or suggestions, most company's will at least give you a place to say what they like or don't like even if they don't really listen or care. It seems that they release game after game tricking people with cool concepts and then abandoning the game, we pay a lot of money for these games and I feel we have the right to ask for a quality/finished product. We are making these guys rich so the least we can do is demand a solid game.… Expand

    While the game is a 7 out of 10, the peer to peer, and the amount of grind you need to unlock all the "game" (2.5 years, or to pay >700$) shows how money hungry this company is, and completely ruins this game. Shame on you Ubisoft!

But the servers on launch and for about 2 weeks after were absolutely awful as you lag like crazy at some points because of connection and you would just randomly crash out of games and the reason this was happening was probably because they were using peer to peer servers which is a terrible idea especially for a triple A game. The campaign, which was a surprise to be in the game which is very good as most multiplayer focused games don't even bother anymore, was decent as the story was lackluster and you didn't really have any connection with characters but there were some interesting mechanics like story feats and you could play as every faction throughout the story and play as most characters in the game to make you get a feel for them in the multiplayer.… Expand

    Unplayable, buggy mess. Can't even join 2 of the 3 game types at all, and matchmaking is terrible if you ever DO manage to join a game - one team will be full of leveled-up veterans while the other is packed with bare-bones new players. Then once the game starts, expect constant interruptions from connection problems.

    I got the game for free and I still would not recommend it.

    They continue to overpower characters which benefit them with money and neglect balance.
    The games mechanics are a joke with every patch they fix a visual glitch which nobody cared about while the game is rotting from the inside.
    This game frustrate me so much i have never been so emotional about a game while hating it so badly, even if you win you are not satisfied and you feel its cluncky and bad.
    Characters which deserve attention dont get it while the devs take in consideration the very god damn least requested thing and doing exactly the opposite of what the community wants.
    Its filled with soooooo many toxic players whicu try to get the devil out of you.
    A game which specifically requires a millisecond of reaction is running on 30fps on consoles making the animations half smooth, in addition of letting players with a stable ping above 100 to remain in the game.
    It takes me on average 10 minutes to find a server of 7 players in totall (me being the 8) and thats for the most popular game mode in the game (dominion) and my nat is always open, internet always good so connectivity is never an issue for me.

    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

    Ubisoft has failed. Failed to make this game remotely appealing. The balance is atrocious. Over half the roster is a massive detriment to its own team. 30% of characters are playable. Some design decisions simply dont make sense. Characters that - based on their class (role) SHOULD be farming minion lane but absolutely lack all tools to do so. Health and damage numbers are completely random as if they threw darts at a board and just went with whatever rng came up with.

    Huge issues the game has never get addressed. Even if something eventually gets fixed it takes always at least 1 year.

    The last "DLC" character they released is BY FAR the worst character in the game. Think about what that says about the people who are still working on the game! They have absolutely no clue what they are doing! Its crazy. I really have never seen a game design team who utterly lacks absolutely all understanding of basic things in their own game.

    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.
