    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    I dont like to give a rating on games that I haven´t finish but i just can´t see myself returning to this at any point. It´s not a bad game but it´s not as good as it could have been.

The combat is still very fun but it’s difficult to appreciate when the game is so unbalanced and unbearable to play.

    Regarding the gameplay, despite that many praise FH’s presumed « very advanced fighting mechanics », I’ve found it to be quite stale, slow and not particularly enjoyable.

    The above reasons make me believe this game is overhyped. I ended up spending minimal time on it. Once I went around everything the game has to offer, I moved on by lack of interest. I respect that people can like the mechanics (that’s always subjective). However, FH’s content is poor, and that cannot be questioned. That said, the concept remains unique and I appreciate the fact that developers are trying to offer the players something new and different.    … Expand

    Im in love with this game as it its just so fun. the execution system is amazing and all. On the other hand the story is useless unacuracte and outdated. Also the matchmaking system is genuinely dumb as when i didnt have a rep i was put against again rep 40s. The rank system also stupid like why percentages what is the point.

    Current meta of for honor is unbalanced, tons of microtransction. 1 game will only get you a total of less than 100 steel(for honor currency) which make this game more grinding. it took at least 150 match to unlock new heroes not including unlocking gears and upgrading it. Toxic community.

    Who’d win in a fight heavy armored slow guys, heavy armored fast guys, or no armored crazy guys? If that question has ever came up with you and your friends well does For Honor not answer that at all.

For Honor is the latest and newest IP from Ubisoft and I have to say they almost had a great game here. I’m getting to far ahead of myself I’m B-rod and I’m reviewing For Honor!!

    The game has a story mode that felt so tacked on that you almost could see the board members screaming, “WE NEED A STORY MODE. YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN BATTLEFRONT DIDN’T HAVE ONE”. This to me is a prime example of a game that should be multiplayer only, but while I say that the story mode had some fun parts. The set pieces and some of the boss fights were fun as **** The characters you play as… well two of them seem like they could’ve had an interesting story. You start with the Knight campaign where you are a knight who has been recruited into the Black Stone Legion. Which sounds like my Swedish metal band. You basically help the villain Apollyon start a war. A game with just this character could actually be interesting, but we have two more campaigns so eh **** it. Then we have the Viking campaign which did fell like the eh **** it campaign. I had no clue why you were doing anything, and quite honestly they seemed like they were just there. The game gave zero ****s about the Vikings they are sort of the worst faction to play as. Last you get the Samurai campaign where you play a disgraced samurai and you are hunting down the Black Stone Legion to put an end to them. This last campaign showed me that they really had two stories to tell, but had to cut them short to have the Vikings shoved in there. The story is a short 6-hour campaign that serves as a great tutorial to the actual game.

    The actual game is the multiplayer where it is a battle for dominance between three factions. Or honestly two because no one but me and like 6 people picked the Viking faction so were are just getting our asses kicked (the first week at least). Regardless you can battle other online foes or bots which are badasses compared to what you fight in story, but still stupid at times. I will say that if you don’t have the combat down to a T then you’ll be in trouble fast and only end up feeling super noobish. The combat is the best part of the game. It is the strategic blocking, counter attack system that is hard to describe except look at Game of Thrones on how they fight and you’ll get an idea. It really is something to marvel at, and I’d love to see it in a 40-hour RPG. In saying that it takes time to get used to, and online you can either get into these badass fights, or some dude spamming one button over and over cause it is nearly unblockable. You can customize the **** out of your warriors and gear if you really care about that **** It can feel a bit free to playish because they want you to earn it by paying the iron price or with actual money can you buy fake money for better gear. (Boo indeed)

    ​Overall if you get the chance definitely rent this game to see if it is your cup of tea. It is something new and different from what we are used to and I appreciate that. Know this the game is made for online if you are a story kind of guy or have **** internet this game is not worth your time. I give this a 3/5 for the gameplay and just being a new IP I’m more lenient on it for that. Until next time brothers in arms go hack some limbs off.    … Expand

    Purtroppo generalmente tutti i personaggi per quanto affascinanti possiedono le loro mosse che però risultano fin troppo forti in certi casi. Senza contare che in for honor Il migliore attacco è la difesa. Questo perché tutti i personaggi sono in grado di infliggere enormi danni dopo una parata andata a buon fine. Questo è il più grande problema del gioco, in quanto va a neutralizzare l'attacco e renderlo superfluo. Se siete dei maestri della difesa avete praticamente vinto visto che ogni parry prevede un contrattacco. Per non parare della legnosita del meta. Risulta un gioco molto macchinoso per i novizi e ciò impedisce il punto forte di tutti i videogiochi:il divertimento. Certo anche he chi ha preso il gioco fin dal day one si è potuto godere a pieno il titolo visto che non c'era nessuno di effettivante forte all'epoca. Non è dunque il gioco su cui puntare se siete giocatori occasionali. La campagna? Scordatevela. Purtroppo non presenta nulla di speciale cosa del tutto ingiustificabile vista l'esperienza del casa che vanta grandi gemme la saga di assansins creed. Malgrado tutti questi diffEtti è davvero una manna dal cielo per i giocatori competitivi. Visti le decine di effetti e contenuti surreali fatte davvero a regola d'arte. In sostanza ppuertoppo for honor non riesce a centrare il punto:l'ambiente è l'immersione medievale. È questo è veramente un peccato vista l'evidente bravura e dedizione con qui vengono fatti eroi ed esecuzioni.

However, despite the thorough enjoyment I have gotten from the game, I cannot say it is without it's flaws. I will write this review keeping in mind players who plan on playing For Honor in the near future. I will try to keep this as short as possible.

    I'll start with the issues. The community is incredibly toxic. Opponents will send hatemail, teabag you, and use the text prompts to "thank" you for an easy win or "sorry" you lost. Ubisoft chooses not to patch these features out.

    Extremely steep learning curve. Not only do you have to master the move set of your character, but you need to know the move set of every other character to best counter them. This will take a while. At least they match people up based off skill and experience, but pray if you're new you don't fight more experienced players.

    Bad balancing, Newly released characters are always overpowered, and Ubisoft takes forever to fix them. Even old characters are still either overpowered or underpowered. There are a handful of characters you would classify as "balanced."

    Useless modes. There are modes in the game that are hardly played but kept in, and modes that people really love that are taken out (ice battles, carousel of death).

    Long wait times. It can take a long time at times to get placed into a game. Varies from day to day.

    Now for the good. Once you start mastering the game, the game becomes incredibly addictive. There are no other games like For Honor out right now. It is one of the most high intensity games I've ever played which requires you to be engaged every second you play. Despite all the flaws I mentioned, it is one of my favorite games ever. I'd give it a 9.5 from an enjoyment standpoint.    … Expand

Basically, all the aspects of game are slightly above mediocre level as a maximum.

    At this moment game freezes and lags fairly often with no correlation to intensity of what is happening on the screen or connection quality. On average, your character does what you expect him to do when you press the control key/try to make a combo or trick in a battle just 3 out of 4 times. For a game with combat system depending so much on correct timings and pace all these points are inexcusable and destroy the experience.
    More over, all the game modes except 4 v 4 Dominion seem to be completely abandoned by the players (generally, on-line is low). There is also a 1v1 mode which is not absolutely dead, but 3 out of 5 times matchmaking brings you to the 3 rounds of painful humiliation by significantly more experienced player as there are very few still playing this mode.

    Disconnects and infinite loading screens are in place as well, patches and updates make more chaos in in-game balance rather than performance improvements or core gameplay problems fixes..    … Expand

As someone who loves studying the history of these cultures depicted in the game, the idea of them all doing battle in a semi-realistic and competitive environment was enough to get me completely on board. Which makes it truly heart-wrenching to write this review. In this game's current state, I simply can't recommend it. It's been nearly ten months since the game's release and the game is still plagued with bugs, connection problems, and abhorrent balance issues in spite of constant promises of improvements from the developers, who've only shown themselves to be more and more incompetent as the months have gone by.

    Let's start with the bugs and connection. In 4v4 modes such as Dominion and Elimination, I'd say matches completely disconnect 30-50% of the time. Given the game's peer-to-peer connection, this wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem if player's were compensated and rewarded for their achievements and time played in matches that disconnect. Even though this would be a no-brainer feature to add (at least as a band-aid fix while proper fixes are worked on), it remains entirely absent.
    Onto bugs (and exploits). This game has a ton of them. Up until a month or two ago, there was a bug known as "flicker", where basically, due to a rather lenient input window for certain attacks known as 'zone attacks', it could first make the attack appear to be coming from an entirely different direction before going into the zone attack's proper direction. Given that zone attacks are often some of the fastest moves available to heroes, this glitch could be exploited to a game-breaking degree, turning already hard to deal with attacks into un-reactably fast, risk-free moves. Combine this with another glitch known as 'unlock tech' that allows attacks not technically aimed directly at players to be uninterruptible and unpunishable, and it makes for a very frustrating experience. While flicker has been fixed, unlock tech remains, albeit in a slightly different manner.

    Onto balance. There are four classes of heroes: Vanguards (jack of all trades), Heavy (slow and defensive), Assassin (mobile and damaging at the cost of being slightly weaker defensively) and Hybrids (mixtures of the other three). Orochi, a samurai assassin, has two viable moves at a competitive level of play: Top light attack, and zone attack. This is because all of his other moves are easily counterable or just outright useless compared to simply parrying, something all heroes can do. This in turn makes Orochi a predictable and boring hero to play as and against. Now let's compare him to Warlord, a viking heavy and one of the strongest heroes in the game. As a heavy class, Warlord has faster light attacks, better dodging abilities, obviously better defense being a heavy, he has an unblockable headbutt attack that deals a small amount of damage and is fast enough to apply pressure on a defensive opponent, he has a hilariously long throw distance of 6-10 meters in a game filled with lethal environmental hazards, he can throw players against a wall for considerable damage even greater than his heavy attacks, his heavy attacks are uninterruptible past a certain point in his animation, and can be chained into light attacks as well as vice versa. Remind me how are these heroes even in the same game? One has a symphony of usabillity and viable options, while Orochi (much like multiple other heroes in the game such as Warden, Kensei, Shugoki, Conqueror, Lawbringer, Berserker, Raider, the list goes on...) can only spam one or two usable attacks (if that even) to compete. This doesn't even begin to describe the larger underlying balance issues such as defense maneuvers in general being far too rewarding and safe compared to attacking, the game being based almost entirely on reaction time as opposed to other fighting game fundamentals such as spacing and mindgames, and it makes for a game that is simply boring and fundamentally broken at a competitive level. Combine this with a slow, ignorant, and indecisive team of developers, and it makes for a game that can only be described as frustrating on every level. They have promised fixes to most of these problems I've listed, but after many months of patiently waiting and watching developer streams, these remain to be only promises with no real ETA.

    Nonetheless, this game has a truly massive amount of potential, and still has its fun moments from time to time, which makes it all the more frustrating to see it slowly die like it has been. If the game does eventually get the fixes it so desperately needs, I'll update and/or remove this review. But I wouldn't hold your breath.    … Expand
