    Simple disclaimer here. With the game's current balancing, I think anyone who is interested in FH for its "deep combat" should be warned that the high-level gameplay is reduced to something that is even less than rock, paper, scissors. Everything can be reacted to, which makes perfect defense entirely possible and ruins the experience for me and many other players. Perfect defenseSimple disclaimer here. With the game's current balancing, I think anyone who is interested in FH for its "deep combat" should be warned that the high-level gameplay is reduced to something that is even less than rock, paper, scissors. Everything can be reacted to, which makes perfect defense entirely possible and ruins the experience for me and many other players. Perfect defense should never be humanly possible in a fighting game and until they fix this issue, there will be no true mind-games or anything like them in FH. Most characters will remain useless without any sort of actual 50/50, new maps will add nothing and the playerbase will dwindle rapidly as they get bored of facing off against reactive players.

    This has happened to many games before and it could easily happen to FH. But if they fixed the perfect defense issue, I would still probably only give the game a 4, because there is not even the bare minimum of what would be needed for a competitive PvP game and the single player "content" (aka extended tutorial) is trash. Nice and scummy microtransactions, as well. Very generous of Ubi to sneak those into their game by saying "it's just cosmetic" when player customization is literally the only progression content available.

    Highly disappointing game. I would say avoid at all costs unless it's on sale for like $20 and you have a group of friends who all want to play a party melee brawl type of game together for a weekend. Asking for anything beyond that from this game is far too much.    … Expand

    Gets old and repetitive very quickly and 90% of the time, you're playing tag, chasing sore losers around the map. Will most probably be another Evolve, so if you're really desperate for this game, wait a few weeks until price is dropped to less than half.

    Straight to the point, the game is redundant; in the single player campaign you fight weak opponents with a "difficult" enemy as the boss while the occasional mission throwing in a few more "tough" enemies offset by tedious mini games that only take away from the good in this game. The story line was predictable and the characters unmemorable, seriously I can't remember their names, andStraight to the point, the game is redundant; in the single player campaign you fight weak opponents with a "difficult" enemy as the boss while the occasional mission throwing in a few more "tough" enemies offset by tedious mini games that only take away from the good in this game. The story line was predictable and the characters unmemorable, seriously I can't remember their names, and the final boss fight being one of the easiest in the game (this was on the "hard" difficulty.) My opinion doesn't stem form a lack of a challenge but the simplicity of the combat as well as the pace. I found myself waiting for the enemy to strike so that I could parry them and get a few hits in then repeat, any more aggression and the AI would mercilessly punish you (think dark souls.) I found myself bored with the single player relatively quickly and see little reason to replay.
    Disclaimer: If you are going to get this game, get it on PC as you can not remap the controller on the console. I so badly wished to move some of the controls around for a more comfortable feel but there is absolutely no changes to the controller layout (again console only.)
    Multiplayer- Another console-exclusive issue I've noticed is the default "mute", you must enable mic communication in order to speak, a setting buried away but even if you manage to find and enable it, good luck finding someone else who has, in the week I have had the game, I have yet to speak to another player. Nothing like feeling forced to play a game mode that you don't want to play because of "daily quests" that are essential for progression (gear); that being the next issue, in a game that centers around skill-based-combat, there should be no "gear" or "loot" that gives you an advantage over another player but there is and it is infuriating to fight someone who goes into "revenge mode" during a 1v1 fight. Back to the "game modes you don't want to play" bit, do you like being double teamed or triple teamed? In the entire game this has to be the second most infuriating aspect, you are winning a fight against an opponent only for his ally (or team) to come over and start hitting you in the back; at least in comparable games like blade symphony, most players had a sense of...well...honor and would allow the initial 1v1 fight to conclude before dueling the opponent, an event that is non-existent in this game. Finally the most frustrating factor in this game is ironically the combat system, the core of the game; nothing brings me closer to bursting blood vessels than executing a proper parry or block on the controller only to take the hit in-game which drove me to write this review. I would not recommend getting this game to anyone as it is a one-trick-pony fad that probably posses more risk to your personal health than the entertainment you get for the one to two weeks before the shallow gameplay loses it's lure.    … Expand

    There is no excuse for triple A titles and major gaming companies to be cutting corners and forcing users to host online matches. Speak with your wallet, do not buy this game until Ubisoft decides to grown up by setting up / funding it's own severs or cut the price of their "premium" game by 70%.

    The online play which requires skill, fast reflexes, and an understanding of the complex mechanics is all undone by the 20 mins of lost progress that happens when your booted. Or a lag spike that negates your last 5 seconds, to then see time reversed and you killed as your enemy takes advantage. Additionally the frustration of playing with a group of friends and to have 1 or 2 of you disconnect and have wait until the game finishes. This alone has made many of my friends put the game down.
    Further proof of how bad it is is the drastic drop in the player base in the first two weeks!!!
    I didn't even touch on the irrelevant faction map and micro-transactions (don't give them more $$$ for a broken game).

    TLDR: An online skill based game plagued with connections issue, resulting in an awful release and waste of great potential. Can't give it more than a 4/10. There are simply better games out that don't waste your time...    … Expand

They tried to make a game that heavily accentuated the neutral game aspect of fighters, but they did not understand what makes that aspect of the genre so interesting at all, it just feels like a mess. The whole Vikings vs Samurai vs Knights also screams a cash grab on the back of the success of the TV show "Deadliest Warrior".

Almost every mechanic in this game doesnt function properly, it has bugs manifesting everywhere but ofc the devs only focus on how to milk more money of you instead of fixing the game breaking glitches.
    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.
    If anybody is even reading this i am a totall rep 124 and i dislike this game in every way.

    Unfortunately you'll only be able to reliably experience that fun while playing against AI or through the single-player portion of the game (which is only about 7-8 hours long and VERY barebones). The single-player mode is more of an advanced tutorial to get you familiar with different classes and factions.

    Ubisoft decided to set this game up P2P (Peer to Peer) server-wise. This means that instead of there being dedicated servers for online play, the games are hosted by yourself or other players. This is where the problems come in. The game is unplayable for many due to this because it creates a consistent and regular scenario where the game crashes and sends you back to the main menu.

    This means you earn no rewards, cannot advance your hero in gear, and cannot earn war assets for the metagame to deploy for your chosen faction. it's a shame as well since the game itself is fun and "fresh". At this point I cannot suggest this game to anyone as you're taking a very real chance of spending $60+ on a game that is broken and unplayable.    … Expand

The servers are still awful, and you will very frequently lose connection even with perfect internet speeds. The team balance is also basically non-existent, so get used to playing with bots against a full team of players with a far higher level. Its a fun challenge but it get's boring real quick.

    Gets old and repetetive very fast. I really tried to it for over 100h but it still sucks. There are clearly much better characters than others. Some have really cool and unique features but most of them are dull spammer. Out of 1 matches maybe one makes a little bit of fun because people actually play for fun and not to spam.

The combat is very fluent in this game and very original in this case although there are some downfalls to it as revenge in 1v1 or 2v2 where it is not needed. In 4v4 it's understandable. Gear can very, very broken when the player reaches a high level and gets gear equipped where they can block only a couple of his and activate revenge an unlimited number of times.

    That was the main issue I want to address, even though gameplay is good, half of the playlists are dead, you'll either run out of patience or the game will automatically kick you out of matchmaking.
    The balancing in this game is also questionable, with each new hero being released, it just makes the older characters seem unplayable and have uninteresting kits, take lawbringer for an example, one of the first heroes to be released, still has not received a rework or a buff after 11 heroes has been added to the game.
    Now on to the campaign, the developers stated that if players wishes to enjoy a singleplayer experience, the campaign was more than enough, it will satisfy them. Leaving the fact that the campaign requires internet connection when you are just playing alone aside, the heroes in the campaign had their pre-reworked kits! The developers are soo lazy that they paid no attention to the singleplayer aspect of the game what so ever, it has remained untouched since launch, imagine a new player playing the campaign and moves on the multiplayer, only to realise that the hero now has completely different moves, it's like playing the campaign is soo pointless other than to enjoy the story which by the way, isn't even all that good.
    I have been playing the game since its launch, and as much as I wanted it to succeed, there are just too many issues with the game, and that it just seems like the developers are too lazy to fix those issues, or paying attention in the wrong place, the game had soo much potential, it is sad to see the game turned out the way it did.    … Expand

    For Honor is a disappointment. When For Honor was announced years ago and I was looking forward to it. I played the beta along with so many others and it was amazing. The gameplay was fun and interesting, I could have a genuine good experience. Then the game released. I think for a few months maybe even a year, the game was good. But then ganking became a huge problem. The name For HonorFor Honor is a disappointment. When For Honor was announced years ago and I was looking forward to it. I played the beta along with so many others and it was amazing. The gameplay was fun and interesting, I could have a genuine good experience. Then the game released. I think for a few months maybe even a year, the game was good. But then ganking became a huge problem. The name For Honor suddenly became ironic. The only way to have an enjoyable experience was any other mode but Dominion (by far the most popular mode). Ganking isn’t necessarily the problem, I can survive one occasionally, but it’s the fact that the game is based upon combos and weapon speed. It’s not like Rainbow 6 (Ubisofts other hero based title). Your hero can do 23 damage on a light attack but it may take some time, but another hero does 22 and has almost double the swing speed. I know my review is years late but after installing the game, deleting it from not finding any enjoyment, then reinstalling for some miracle that it’s changed multiple times, I have to make one. I think the biggest issue may be SBMM and every game being a sweat fest, but we haven’t really experienced the game without it so we don’t know if that’s the true issue. But from my gameplay it’s heroes and bs combos. I understand For Honor can be considered a fighting game. Much like Absolver or Street Fighter. You have a character and combos and utilize those to gain an upper hand in combat. But I don’t think For Honor should have ever been a fighter like this. I wanted a 4v4 teambased game set in medieval times. It didn’t need characters like Centurion with combos that can disable you for multiple seconds leaving you open to an almost immediate death if ganked and taken advantage of correctly. It didn’t need Hitokiri which has a 1 shot ability that could basically end a game of Siege once you’re in the final stage. It didn’t need Valkyrie which can trip your hero over and over with no limit other than stamina. And it most certainly didn’t need combos to make the game more engaging/interesting, but they added them anyway. I know some fanboys may read this and think that I’m just a bad player and can’t learn the game but that’s far from being true. Every game I play I can adapt to and learn fairly quickly. Whether it be a fast paced game like Call of Duty, a slower bounty hunting game like Hunt: Showdown, a strategy game like Mount & Blade, a full-on RPG like the Witcher. I can learn these games’ playstyle and adapt accordingly and do well. For Honor is no different. Of course I can’t prove it, but it doesn’t matter, my complaint still exists regardless. Heroes shouldn’t have combos. It sounds crazy in a fighting game but it’s simply my problem with it. It feels like combat doesn’t matter as long as you’re going up against a character that has a combo that can stretch out into 25 different moves unless stopped. I think this is why I liked the beta so much. It was a new game with new gameplay features to learn. Nobody really knew how to effectively use combos yet. They just used basic moves like the running attack to chase down enemies. It felt like each swing mattered and I had to genuinely defend against my opponent. Now all the game is: find teammate in combat, lock onto enemy, hit enemy when they are stunned and kill enemy or be on the receiving end of that. It’s not at all the gameplay I remember or loved from the beta. It all becomes worse when you have to grind to get silver to buy the newest, most OP hero when they release. Some guy with a IQ of a raisin will just buy it directly with cash, while people who don’t want to spend anything extra are stuck grinding for days maybe weeks depending on the play time. Then by the time normal people can get the hero they get nerfed a few days later. Honestly that type of design decision baffles me. “Yeah this hero looks cool. I tried her in training but I don’t know how she’ll actually do in actual games” then you spend 10000 silver on a character you don’t end up playing as because they either don’t suit your playstyle or are just trash in regular matches. And you don’t get refunds on heroes. I just wish the game wasn’t a ‘Ubisoft Moment’ and was actually designed to be the game it should’ve been. At the very least it shouldn’t have had SBMM. Every game I get into it says “skill level = on par --“ while the enemy team is 60 reputation above me on their 48 rep heroes. While my team also says on par but they’re rep 4 on one of the starting heroes The games prime was over before it even officially released (the beta) and it’s sad. This game deserves only a 0 from me and it’s not from hate or malice. I’ve genuinely tried to like the game but it does not want me to. I regret every single dollar I spent on For Honor and I wish I would’ve spent my time playing something else.… Expand

The game also has 12 different heroes to choose from, all with unique abilities and cosmetic stuff like executions. I would NOT recommend this game if you're going to play it for the singleplayer. This game was meant for multiplayer and that's where it shines. The 1v1, 2v2, and 4v4 deathmatch modes are fun, but unfortunately the main mode, Dominion, is lackluster. The matches in Dominion are just chaos. You can't engage in a 1v1 duel (which is where the game is at its best) without getting interrupted with the waves of AI or other players. The other solely combat focused modes are fantastic though, and let you have concentrated battles with real opponents. The 4v4 elimination mode spawns each player in with an enemy and they have to duel it out before going to help their friends. After all the bloodshed the last team standing wins. It's a very fun mode and makes 4v4 matches actually playable without all the annoying AI crap. 1v1s are also fun and let the player focus solely on 1 opponent.

    Now the bad: The servers are horrendous. It's impossible to find a game. Rainbow Six Siege had this same issue when it released, but For Honor has it much worse. I've probably only PLAYED the game for a little over an hour, the rest of the time has been just waiting to join a match. Sometimes the matchmaking works. Sometimes being 10% of the time. 90% of the time you wont find a game. I legit pulled out my phone and watched youtube for over an hour and never found a game. It's not my internet either, most games work just fine. I can't believe Ubisoft would release the game in this state.

    For Honor could have been a 7 or 8 out of 10, but considering I payed 60 bucks to stare at a loading screen for 5 hours I can't recommend it. Wait for them to fix the servers before making a purchase.
    Maybe that wasn't very short or sweet, but whatever. The game needs to be fixed.    … Expand

Honestly, I love running around as knights and samurai. I have dreamed of a game like this for years! However, I did not pay $60+ to have nearly every single one of my multiplayer matches crash instantly. Seriously, the P2P multiplayer system is completely broken and doesn't work. On those rare occasions when I do connect to a match, the lag is so horrendous that I will start fighting, only to watch as the opponent teleports around me before I just fall dead. FYI, I have high speed internet and perfect, wired, connectivity to my PS4, so there are no problems on my end. Also, Ubisoft troubleshooting and customer service is no help at all. They keep suggesting that I alter my internet and router settings, however, this is absolutely unacceptable. I paid good money for this game and expect it to work. If there are any problems, then it is on Ubisoft to fix them, not me, the consumer. This is the last Ubisoft game that I plan to buy as the last few have been completely broken and unplayable as well.

    TL;DR The online/multiplayer service has been completely broken since launch and is still broken now a month later. If you have this game, my advice to you is to sell it or trade it in as soon as possible to get most of your money back (I plan on doing just that after writing this review). If you do not have the game and are thinking of buying it, save your money and spend it on a game that works as advertised. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!    … Expand

    This game has so much potential that is sad that it might go as the biggest let down in 2017. One of the main issues it has is the character unbalancing, it seems that assassins have the upper hand leaving the other classes powerless. Just when you taught Ubisoft will fix this issues they end up buffing one of the assassin class making it more OP. So much hope just gone down the drain.

Attacking drains stamina, gives your enemy revenge (a resource they can use to temporarily become much more powerful),Don't let the people saying this game has improved since launch fool you. It is still an unwieldy impenetrable mess that punishes you each time you try to play it. Every system in the game is seemingly engineered to encourage the most boring defensive gameplay imaginable. Attacking drains stamina, gives your enemy revenge (a resource they can use to temporarily become much more powerful), and leaves you open for counter attacks. As such it's far more advantageous to simply wait for your opponent to do a thing, then do the counter to that thing, and then win. Because of this matches become boring slogs with two opponents staring each other down waiting for the other to make a move. The loser of these games end up being the first one to lose their patience and actually play.

    Mastery in this game is not achieved by learning the ins and out of your character but by memorizing the timings and counters to the moves of every single other character. In a normal game these kinds of things would be communicated through animations or other kinds of visual queues. But the artists for this game were to busy modeling the several thousands of cosmetics you're expected to pay for instead of making sure the game didn't look like an incomprehensible mess. Am I supposed to block this attack? Parry? Counter attack? Dodge left, right, or backwards? Well you've better have memorized it and every other attack in the game because you're not going to be able to figure out how to react just by looking at it. Things which look like they're dodgable aren't dodgable, characters glide across the ground, teleport behind you, and lunge 20 feet across the map. Clearly communicating the state of the characters on screen and their attacks is the one job that the art in a fighting game has and For Honor fails miserably.

    These are all issues which were obvious over a year ago when the game came out and yet they have not been fixed. They know they're never going to get a second chance at the numbers they had at launch so now Ubisoft is prioritizing extracting as much money as possible out of the whales who've had the poor judgement to the game. The game has not been fixed, will never be fixed, and isn't worth anyone's time or money.    … Expand

    The fun (which is minimal) isn't worth the headache of dealing with the light attack spammers and the guard break counter mechanic. Save yourself some money and time.

    Infelizmente fraco a sua jogabilidade, com gráficos espantosos para nossa atual geração, mas simples dinâmica de combate. Para inciar uma partida leva muito tempo o qual afeta os players de terem tanta paciência aguardando. Uma pena estava numa hype surreal neste jogo (tempo de jogo: 14 horas).

    Online only despite labels that are both confusing and deceptive. If you had been following the history of game development, there was a release 2 months ago about it being online only. On day one, the 4gig download prevented me from playing the game at all. Too late to return to Gamestop now, so guess I am stuck with it.

    A game without any soul, modern HUD, clean generic graphics, strong mans in plate armor running like women in nun dress. You cant even jump, and they want to sell you medieval combat, a joke again like all other ubi games. A game made by hipsters for hipsters.

I didn't struggle with the combat in any way but felt the blocking system was bizarre and unnatural. After a few fights I dint see what else the game could possibly offer. It feels like there should be a grand campaign and this is the cheaply tacked on multiplayer. The game is littered with vulgar micro transactions making you wonder why the hell they think it's okay to charge full price for this free to play model. So no I wont be purchasing and I predict withing a few weeks this will meet the same fate as games like Evolve which had little substance. Not even worth renting so wait until it's reduced to £5 so you can buy it as a cheap book end!… Expand

Wonderful visuals. The melee combat system in my opinion is nothing short of revolutionary and the idea should be adopted among more games and incorporate melee combat. The character customization is well thought out and the cosmetic selections are some of the more visually appealing and creative in a multiplayer game.

    But that does not matter one damn bit if I CANNOT EVEN PLAY THE **** GAME. I can count myself lucky if I can get connected to a match after the most frustrating 10 ten minutes of my day. That's if I'm lucky. This is even when trying to join a multiplayer mode listing the player population "very high activity". When I eventually do find a match and can actually join in a map I have to cross my fingers and hope I or other player and not booted mid-game which happens frequently. Even so much as creating an in game party with friends is just luck-of-the-draw as to whether or not I can even play against friends. Sometimes I get lucky, but alot of the time I get some "Can't connect, try again later" **** It's not long before I come to the realization that I am having less fun and exponentially more frustrated than I was when I wasn't playing the game.

    Be it known that my internet speed runs between 80-100 mbps. Ive tested out every single router configuration possible as listed in ubisoft's very own support page, including port forwarding, using static/dynamic ip, dmz and firewall settings, etc. I even went a step further to reinstall the game and rebuild the ps4 database for good measure. Absolutely no difference to the **** multiplayer experience whatsoever.

    What it really boils down to is that while the game itself may be great, by the time one can actually play the game you and your friends will all be too frustrated and pissed off to even want to look at this **** game to even bother a second time. Every other game developer whose games focus on multiplayer can connect to a match no problem with minimal wait times. But nope, not Ubisoft. **** you apparently because Ubisoft cannot even be bothered as a developer not to royally **** up step number one of facilitating any type of multiplayer game. But you know what pisses me off the most? I've played other Ubisoft multiplayer games such as Rainbow Six and The Division. And the sheer lack of competence in the ability to be able to connect to other players is not an isolated incident for Ubisoft. It is something they are consistently terrible at. Either they apparently just do not give a flying rats ass about the players who pay money for this garbage or they are just too stupid to learn from past mistakes. Or both. Either way, the Ubisoft logo and brand now I find synonymous with the word "garbage" or the phrase "do not buy", and you should too.    … Expand

    Yeah, the most insane aspect of it all is the P2P multiplayer on a game, where reaction time should determine the outcome of a duel. Sheesh....

    It's amazing that the devs explained in one of the tutorial videos "how to win 2v1", while they obviously designed the game mechanics only to really work in duels. There really is nothing more frustrating in this game than trying to switch targets, which is amazing considering that the whole game is frustrating.

    Besides the above, the maps are small, unimaginative, and quite frankly boring.

    But For Honor is not without it's problems. Primary the P2P multiplayer is beyond ridiculous in this day and age. I've lost count of the times I've been disconnected in-spite of my decent connection, died to someone I just executed or the match has paused or best of all I spawn already dead. Case in point I've played for three hours before writing this and only managed to complete three matches.

    This is of course less pronounced in duel or brawl modes due to the smaller number of players but how fast you progress is tied to the modes with more players present granting more EXP at the end of a match. I suspect that a large part of this is due to the programming involved as I had few if any problems during the beta.

    Matchmaking is frankly terrible with teams often being one person and some bots vs four players, and other times one side simply outclassing the other by a wide margin.

    As for single player, it's simply tedious. there are very few check points so dying because of a mistake simply results in 15 minutes playing the same section you have already beaten, repeatedly until you either give up or power through. in the end i finished it on the 'hardest' difficulty by simply running past most of the enemies to fight the boss of the level who is itself only difficult because the UI is missing and it has it's health boosted to a ridiculous level.

    In short the game is fun but isn't worth the asking price, there's only so many times you can get kicked from a game because the host has a bad connection before it becomes rage inducing. If they fix the P2P issue (how i don't know) then it would be an 8/10 it's a decent title but honestly could use some work and a lot of polish. As things stand, don't buy it.    … Expand

Hell, even if the host doesn't quit, the connection to the match is likely to crap out and leave the 8 to 10 minutes you spend working towards that win pointless as it just collapses on top of you with an error code. But hey, good news! There's a single player campaign... That relies on both connection to their garbage servers and is more shallow than TitanFall 1's campaign. Its only purpose for existing is to roughly set up multiplayer and give you rough tutorials for the controls. And even those fail to tell you everything that you should know when it comes to combat. All around this game is another steaming pile of garbage that Ubisoft has released, right next to The Division and Assassin's Creed Unity.
