    The game itself is great, when you get to finish a match. Otherwise, constant and random so-called disconnects will render most of your matches wasted time, as you wont get any rewards.

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rare for me to get into a multiplayer game.

I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rare for me to get into a multiplayer game. Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (2) Broken. Basically unplayable. This game is so insufficient in execution that any value would be derived in extremely small quantities, if at all.

    Bad Business Practices
    (-1) Always Online. If you're not connected to a server you can't experience the game in any way. Even the single player content is locked to you if the servers are down. Perfect example of why gamers hate the online requirement. Five years later, this game is unplayable due to bad servers, kicking you back to the main menu every 10 min. If a company is no longer going to support the game, they should be required to provide an update to at least make the single player content accessible offline.

    This review is based on the current, Sep 23rd 2022, condition of this game on PlayStation. I’ve been going through my backlog and was going to give this game a try for the first time. My first 30 min of trying the game, I got booted to the start menu five times. I first tried the training mode but wouldn’t even let me select any of the tabs. They were either locked for me or I kept on getting a note saying the party leader needs to start this. I wasn’t in a party...just me. I gave up and decided to just start in story mode. Story mode chapter 1.1 says I don’t meet the requirements to start. I’m starting to think, what can I even do in this game. I jump into multiplayer. Finally, something that I can play! I only run into AI lobbies and they are easy. Gets kicked to the start menu. Don’t waste your time with this game in 2022. May have been decent in 2017-2018 but it’s not playable now. At least to newcomers.    … Expand

    It's still poorly balanced, as female characters are more OP because Ubicrap is very SJW and politicized, plus they ruined the game after an update that swapped status bars for nonsense perks that are so weak that make zero difference in the gameplay... It's because of this game that I never bought anything else from Ubicrap

    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

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.

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".
