    A bump in the overall production value, akin to something like Ubisoft’s upcoming For Honor, and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare would be among my favorite games of the year.

    It's still a ton of fun, since the fights are well animated and fun to play, but the conversion isn't as good as we hoped.

    It won't be dislodging your go-to online game from the play queue any time soon. [Feb 2016, p.90]

    Despite his age, Chivalry Medieval Warfare is still bugged and raw.

    Chivalry: Medieval Warfare's concept is intriguing, but technical problems, clunky controls and a mediocre presentation make for a pretty terrible experience. Shame.

    Whether you can enjoy Chivalry: Medieval Warfare depends on how low you are willing to lower your expectations for what a current-gen console game should look and feel like.

Been waiting for it to come out on PS4 for a long time. Easily one of the most unique and satisfying mutiplayer games this year. Don't waste your money on CoD or Battlefront, this here is a multiplayer game actually worth playing in 2015!… Full Review »

    Chivalry: Medieval Warfare was a game I've been interested in playing for a while because it has exactly what I want, large scale onlineChivalry: Medieval Warfare was a game I've been interested in playing for a while because it has exactly what I want, large scale online battles that don't involve guns. This type of market is very bare and practically non-existent on consoles which sucks to be honest.
    The last game I played of this type was Lord of the Rings: Conquest back on the 360, this game was considered a bomb but I still enjoyed it for it's multiplayer action. The funny thing about Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is that despite this coming to consoles in 2015 it looks worse than LOTR:Conquest or 90% of the games back on the 360.
    There has been 0 effort put into this game and I left this experience angry and £18 out of pocket. Let's talk about the good points before I crucify this game for wasting my time and money.
    + Has a great premise, I want more games that blend sword fighting and multiplayer.
    + It's deep with regards to how you can engage with an emphasis on tactics
    Now onto the bad:
    - Absolutely atrocious hit registering system. seriously...what the hell is this? I have situations where I would be fighting a guy and I kill him, only to die due to a late reaction in which the person I killed also killed me.
    - The graphics, I would call this game the most ugly game on next gen consoles. Ride to Hell Retribution looks better than this game and that's considered the worse game of all time (barring E.T of course)
    - Unstable framerate, people who own a Xbone suffer with 30FPS on this game while the PS4 is supposed to have 60FPS, the truth is that it doesn't matter because the likelihood of this game staying at 60FPS for more than a minute is a far cry indeed.
    - Server lag. Normally people would be blamed on their connection with regards to lag but that isn't the case with me. I have fiberoptic at home and I'm the only one that uses it through an ethernet connection so it is extremely frustrating when my money is wasted on all that because some lazy ass can't be bothered to do their job.
    This game may be great on PC, I wouldn't know but going from this it's safe to say that Chivalry didn't get a proper port to consoles. I'll just have to wait until For Honor comes out to get the game I want.

    - Finally a medieval fight game on the PS4!
    - Playing as a team can be very satisfying.
    - There is some freedom in how your strikes will be performed (drag)
    - You can cancel a strike or face the other way in order to avoid hitting team mates.
    - There are 4 types of warriors with their own weapons and fighting style.
    - There is a decent variation in area's to fight in.
    - You can make your character shout like a crazy barbarian!
    - Playing this game makes you feel like you are in a good old Ivanhoe movie.

    The con's:

    - The vote kick system is very annoying, since mostly the players that get voted to kick are not bad sport players.
    - In almost every match there is at least one player who starts attacking his own team mates.
    - Players with high ping make the game very laggy.
    - You need to look up on the internet how to do special moves in order to be able to compete with higher ranked players, otherwise you wont stand a chance.
    - There are a lot of glitches in the game where you can get stuck in a wall or dead players are spinning around, for instance.    … Full Review »
