    A little above 50/50 for me. Great game- and fighting mechanics, the learning curve is great if you like a challenge, because you can't just go into the game and whoop butt, trust me.

But i have experienced a lot of problems already for a game at that price. Random disconnects with great NAT connectivity from games, which by the way take a looong wait to get into (guessing because of the cheap P2P solution).

    Pros/Cons:
    So yeah, Cons:

    1. The waiting... It feels like you play the game for 5 minutes, and then wait another 5 minutes to get into a new game, which i don't feel is acceptable.

    2. Random disconnects

    3. Whenever a disconnect happens, an error occurs, a random guy/gal don't push ready for a new game, and therefore kicks you out of the group (playing with friends), and leaves you at the main menu.

    Everyone of these should be fixed ASAP! Oh yeah, and dedicated servers please.

    4. The anger i experience from getting killed when someone gangs up on me.

    Pros:

    1. Game/fighting mechanics. it feels and flows great.

    2. Actually having to learn the game. You have to learn what the different "heroes" can do and how to counter them. When you get better at this, the combat is F***ing great.

    3. Free pickings of what kind of hero you like, and what suits your fighting style.

    4. The happiness i feel when ganging up on someone a executing them.    … Expand

    Positives:
    1. Decent graphics and good environment

    2. Unique. The fighting art is amazing, immersive and challenging.

    3. Customization. It has numerous options to customize your heroes and not only make them more powerful but also give them an identity.

    4. Diversity between the heroes. The heroes are completely different to each other.

    5.Modes appealed to everybody. To those that want to play 1v1, duo with a friend or to those that prefer a team based fight in larger scale it has everything.

    Negatives:
    1. "Server issues". Yup that was a big issue in the beta and it will continue to be one. P2p is not the best way to go for a triple A title.

    2. Even though as I mentioned before the modes can appeal to many types of players, there are only a few of them and they can easily get old too early.

    3. Community. Not that good honestly. People will taunt you hard when they win( and I don't mean the classic taunts, I mean the spam **** and the chat taunt), and flame you and call you cheesy when they lose.

    4. There is not much diversity in heroes. As I said before each hero is completely different to the other, but the negative or at least in my opinion, is that there are only 12 heroes to choose from. In the long run it might not be that bad though as you have to waste lots of silver(in game currency) to upgrade a hero. it just seems a little boring considering someone has put a week into the game.

    5. In my opinion the biggest flaw in the game. Silver, which I mentioned before as the ingame currency, can be found by battling or purchased with real money. Now silver is really important if you are focusing on 4v4 battles, cause it makes your character stronger(the upgrades and the parts you buy) and it's not just for cosmetic purposes. Those that will use real money to buy the silver will gain a strong advantage over those that will not want to to pay for it. The game though is a triple A title and it costs a fair amount of money(if not overpirced which will be my next point), so being p2w in the 4v4s(the most competitive side of the game) while also costing a full price and a season pass of 39 euros is abusing and exploiting the player base.

    6. Overpriced. Even though the game has depth, it lacks modes, heroes, is p2w in certain modes, uses p2p(which is another important flaw imo), and can get boring after a while(not sure cause it's too early though) are the reasons that stop me from buying this game for full price.

    TLDR The game is good and solid but it seems that the devs are too greedy promoting cheap methods(p2p) and trying to milk away money from their customers(p2w 4v4s). I can't put a 9/10 which I was thinking to put because of the gameplay but the negatives I listed are serious flaws and what prevents me from purchasing it full price. Thus a 7/10    … Expand

If there was more to the game, say a simple king of the hill or other classic games reinvented for For Honor. This can be solved with more content later.

    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.    … 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.

    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.

    The fact they wil be supporting this game with FREE dlc is a huge plus to me. 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=)    … Expand

My experience is only limited to small play times, as well as the closed/open betas and multiplayer modes. When the game launches, I'll likely update as I'm very interested in the single-player experience and game as a whole. I'm considering the Gold version just because I'm a bit of a cosmetic whore and like the exclusives P Gold also gives you a season pass and first access to new heroes and content, etc. However much like the Division my fear is that I will lose interest in the game before any of that content is even released. I’ll go into that later.

    For Honor has its issues, much like other Ubisoft Games I fear the multiplayer mode has some glaring problems that can quickly snowball and be abused. Currently the crafting/steel/item system is one of the biggest concerns for me. The game uses two types of currency--steel and chests. The chests I believe you only receive if your faction completes its faction 'objective' (5000 eliminations, etc.) which is refreshed I believe every week? The item system is a double-sided sword in that steel is your main source of currency. With steel, you purchase RNG based 'packs' of items (much like Overwatch's horrible loot crate system) that give you random pieces of gear. Currently the game offers 3 or 4 types of 'salvage gear' that can be purchased with steel, each tier offering a chance for 'better' gear-- but again, it's completely RNG based. The higher tier, the more likely you are to receive better items. In the beta—the ‘premium’ pack guaranteed at least 2 ‘good’ items. This is where the glaring and abusive properties come into play. While in one hand I enjoy customizing my character, and they did a STELLAR job at this. You can customize virtually every aspect of how your character looks-- colors, materials, you can swap an items 'appearance' with another item. But the glaring issue is that the currency can be farmed... I feel that this could easily be abused with those willing to put huge amount of time into doing 'dailies' and just repeating eliminations and brawls over and over and just constantly buying 'salvage gear' to twink out their character, or even worse a Division nightmare where you end up having to just farm for hours and hours in hopes of getting rare RNG items.

    The customization is fantastic, but also having the items effecting stats leaves room for abuse. Imo salvage gear should not exist at all. You should only be able to obtain RNG items through completing multiplayer matches, etc-- which currently you do already. Do very well in a match and you have a higher probability of obtaining a good item. I'm worried Ubisoft will open the door to allow for real money transfer to buy steel or chests essentially turning the game into a p2w. While customizing your character is fun, (I did enjoy comparing stats, and being able to tinker with my character) I'm just worried that those of us that don't have as much time will quickly get out-geared by those with the ability to just buy steel/farm steel and farm crates all day long quickly getting powerful item levels. In the beta I ran into high level players with absurdly high item level—while you can turn off ‘gear’ in multiplayer modes, it still leaves much to be desired. The game can quickly turn into a game of who has better gear versus who has more skill.

    On to the good—the game is downright fun. On PC the graphics, animations, gameplay is smooth as butter, combat is extremely satisfying and the steep learning curve of mastering characters is done very well. Defeating your foe with a satisfying deflect and launching into a combo and ending with a heavy blow and execution is just downright fun. I do believe there are some balance issues, some characters feel a bit overpowered at the moment such as the Orochi—while the character is very difficult to master, those that do master that character can very easily overwhelm virtually any opponent with sheer speed and aggression/parries/counters. I found that by the end of the beta I still was touching the surface of being good with him, but saw others that could simply dominate with him. Domination mode is sort of a MOBA style mode, (3 capture points with AI ‘minions’) and with that good players can most definitely carry a team.

    However, with that said—this is a blessing and a curse. Not only do you have to master your character, you must learn to fight against other characters. Some classes I handled with ease while others I had extreme trouble with. So, you must learn the other classes and how to counter them effectively, all while learning your own character. I particularly had trouble with the Vanguard characters of each faction as while they are slower, the Orochi is very squishy, one false move and you go down extremely quickly. For now I'm staying cautiously optimistic, but worried the novelty will wear, much like it did with the Division.    … Expand

    Oh and more on the equipment, there really isn't any. This game would be great if there was a ton of equipment choices per character but there's not. There's only like 3. So that makes getting loot at the end of matches incredibly competitive. Pretty much by level 5 or maybe even sooner you've seen all the loot there is if you've played for that certain character the entire time.

    I really want to like this game as evidence by my initial rating but playing it just feels dirty. It feels like a really obvious cash grab by Ubisoft. That sucks because this game has a lot of potential but right now, I wouldn't recommend anybody paying the full 60 bucks for it.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

Finally got into my first game, took one swing with my sword and got booted out of the game by Ubisoft's 3rd party anti-cheat software. Did some research and found that many people are having the same problem. When contacting Ubisoft support they told me to disable windows defender and anti-virus. Are you kidding me? I already have to have open NAT which compromises security and know they tell me to disable my local firewall and anti-virus. Still, I wanted to play and went back into the game after disabling. Got into a match and got booted again after just a couple swings. Ended up figuring out you could not use a charge-and-play cable for Xbox 360 controller as that was detected as a "cheat". Finally got to play after disabling all the security on my computer and detaching charge and play cable. As far as gameplay goes, not worth all the problems that I had to deal with. When people get booted mid match may take a couple minutes to re-establish new server. Spent more time in matchmaking screen then I did in the game. As far as the single player goes, Ubisoft stated For Honor would feature a full single player campaign. It took me about 6 hours to complete and felt more like and advanced tutorial for the problematic multiplayer.

    The game is good, but it's not worth the full $60-100 pricetag, especially with all the microtransactions the game currently has. You can say, "They're optional" all you want, but this game is obviously built around them. Everything in the game costs Steel, from characters, to item upgrades, to gear, & there are even shortcuts for using steel that unlock stuff you'd normally have to grind to obtain otherwise. The game is a big $$$ in the eyes of Ubisoft & a gaint middle finger to anyone who buys it. It is however a fun game, & that means it's just another fun game ruined by greedy publishers which is also a darn shame. If you like medieval combat with knights, vikings & samurai it might be worth it but for the average player you might be better off just waiting for a sale, or for the game to eventually go F2P because it's obviously already designed for just that    … Expand

    The fact they wil be supporting this game with FREE dlc is a huge plus to me. 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=)    … Expand

    One of the best Ubisoft games. Combat system, graphics, and even optimization, but this game needs some bug fixes. I'm having fun in this game since closed alpha and still its so playable and cool.

    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.

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 :)    … Expand

    AAA game that is p2p, micro-transactions of a F2P, $40 season pass, and the price tag.

    At most this game is worth $20

    I really wanted to like the game I would have forgiven the micro-transactions but the fact that a full game backed by ubisoft is using P2P in 2017 just confuses me.

    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.

    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) .    … Expand

Having experienced all this in the beta I felt as though a good portion of the time I still enjoyed the game and unfortunately bought on release. The 3 games I played on release day have disillusioned me. Every single game I had actions not register. Losing in this game is infuriating even when the game is smooth as butter, but to lose due to actions not registering will cause even the most sane to want to break everything around them. And this isn't due to a bad internet connection I have a 1gb/s connection through google fiber, I am however nat strict locked so I can never host. I cannot advise anyone to buy this game unless they are nat open, and even then look for sharp population declines shortly after release as the vast majority of players realize the game is p2p.… Expand

    Good while it lasts
    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

Anyway, for those who are actually thinking about getting the game, the first thing you should know is that For Honor is a multiplayer game, mainly, but still offers a decent campaign.

    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.

While not the most visually impressive, For Honor is a fairly pretty game. The premise is interesting and unique and is, at its base level, executed rather well. Certain design choices, however, are questionable at best, the most notable being the P2P matchmaking architecture. This often leads to connection instability and even if you have the best internet money can buy in your area, there's no guarantee the guy(s) on the other end will have a good connection causing frequent pauses as a dropped player gets replaced by a bot or you just get booted with a enigmatic error code that is almost meaningless. If you can somehow get a stable connection and actually play the game, you then have to deal with a game that is going through the growing pains of finding balance not only between the characters, but the stat boosting pieces of gear that are random drops as endgame rewards or from loot packs bought with in game currency (which can be bought with real money) as well.

    I like this game, or at least, I want to. There's good in there, I can see it, and it occasionally shines, but in its current state, I don't think I'm willing to deal with the bad just to get to the good when there are other, better things to play.    … Expand

    Many connection problems, too much: peer to peer is simple the wrong solution. Many cheaters (lag cheat, autoblocks), the anticheat doesn't work. The game should be great for the nice gameplay and the strategic fights, but it's impossible to compete normally. I spend my time waiting for the matchmaking and often the round stop for disconnecting. Unacceptable for a triple A.

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.

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.    … Expand

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

    A fun game marred by **** P2P connections for matchmaking. Frequent drops and disconnects. Microtransactions. Poor balance. Broken counter-guardbreak. 5/10

    If you like Chivalry or fighting games you will love this game. Now Ubisoft are actually listening and patching 1.05v for example shows this game has a future and should succeed.

    Here's the deal. For Honor is all about the fighting mechanic. It is relatively low on content - there is a tedious and vacuous campaign mode that you'll need to slog through for the rewards. The fun is in the multiplayer. The 1 v 1 duels really let the core mechanic shine. Some of the battles are frankly exhilarating in the same high-tension way that a well matched CoD game is.

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.
    Overall I am thoroughly enjoying the game and am looking forward to future developments. The bottom line is it's frailties can be forgiven - where else are you going to be able to hack a viking's head off with a samurai?    … Expand

    It took me a good 20 minutes to find my first match just to see 3 people teleporting all the time making it impossible to hit them,after being confused on why samurais could teleport,i searched abit about the game just to realise it had p2p servers making people USE lag to win This game COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD but they were too greedy.

    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,

    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.

    The viking campaign is a step in the right direction, but feels bland and uninspired.

    Haven't played the samurai campaign, but i guess it is just like the others.

    Multiplayer:
    Every game (especially dominion) there is a part where you feel extra cool. Maybe you took on that enemy that kept killing you, or maybe you captured a point or whatever. But that cool feeling gets absolutely drowned by the absolute horse poop moments, like when your fighting someone, you're super close to winning the encounter, but they spring away, unscathed. Or take that same scenario, but then that persons teammates rush into battle, killing you like a bug on a shoe. Sometimes i am fighting a battle i know i cant win, so i back up. Then i get stabbed in the back, and those 2 enemies are throwing me back and forth, hitting me, and for a final hooray, chops my head clean off. Maybe it's just the fact that humans find bad stuff twice as punishing as good stuff rewarding, but every round 1 cool thing happens, and 4 bad stuff happens. And maybe that arises the"git gud", but i aced the knight campaign on hard.

    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.
