Now they have launch dedicated server and it works so well. They also keep fixing balance issue. It is not perfect yet but still much better than the original state. I have noticed the increase in number of new players. The game still continue to improve and it has great potential. Ubisoft made a right choice by not abandoning this game.

    The only downside now is the steep learning curve that may push newbies away. Well it is a fighting game after all, I don't want complain. The weaks will leaves, the strongs will survive. 9/10 is a solid score for me Thank you devs for your hard work.

    PS.for new comers, don't listen to negative reviews in the past. The game is much better now    … Expand

    For Honor combines strategic and satisfying gameplay, a vibrant world, and an engaging story to create a great medieval game.

    Yet another crapshoot from developer Ubisoft. At least that's what I said when I played the game at launch.

Not sure when these overhaul updates happened, but finally, I can play matches and not be disconnected, and not even lag. The gameplay is here now uninterrupted (at least for me) and I'm able to have a ton of fun. Some of my gripes are still there; the lack of modes, the rather uninteresting characters in the story, the short campaign, and the fact that the gameplay can get old, but now, this has become the kind of game I can pick up every once and awhile and have a blast playing in short bursts.… Expand

    For Honor is a multiplayer game. The story is lacking a lot but the online gameplay is intuitive and interesting and unique. This is a title I will continue to play for a while. Goodbye crappy CODs. This is really all that needs to be said.
    P.S. Almost forgot DEUS VULT!

    Since I couldn't give an 8.5 I'm giving this game a 9. It is by far one of the most addictive games I have ever played. Period. This is due to the highly competitive nature of the game and the very rewarding combat.

Its extremely easy to learn individual movesets (unlike other fighting games), the difficulty lies in how to string    Since I couldn't give an 8.5 I'm giving this game a 9. It is by far one of the most addictive games I have ever played. Period. This is due to the highly competitive nature of the game and the very rewarding combat.

    One of the biggest strenghts of the game is its combat. Its extremely easy to learn individual movesets (unlike other fighting games), the difficulty lies in how to string those movesets together plus how to best combine them to beat your opponent. Combat in For Honor is rivaled by no other figthing game in my opinion. Its nature as an easy to pick up, difficult to master game is executed perfectly.

    There are essentially four game modes. Duel (1v1), Brawi (2v2), Dominion (4v4-territory type), and Elimination (4v4). Which mode you pick depends upon individual preferences such as how competitive you are and whether you prefer team play or riding solo.

    There are currently 14 characters divided into three classes: Knights, Samurai, and Vikings. For the most part the characters are well balanced. Matchups are not rock, paper, scissor based like some people claim. When you're just starting out, you may have difficulty with certain characters. But once you become experienced this is not the case. I have been beaten by, and beat, every class there is. Victory is dependent on the player, not the class.

    As much as I love this game, it is not without its flaws. Firstly, the player to player connection is at times terrible. However, this is more of a problem in the 4v4 modes. As someone who mainly plays Duel and Brawl, connection issues occurred probably 5 percent of the time. Quitting is tied to this. When a team or player is behind, or they simply just don't like losing, they'll just quit. And connection will either time out with the quitter or you'll be left with a bot. But Ubisoft is adding punishments to quitting like a wait time, so this is hopefully an issue that will be fixed soon.

    Secondly, there is an extremely steep learning curve, which I think drives many people away from the game. Not only do you have to learn your individual moveset, but the movesets of every character in order to learn how to exploit individual weaknesses and avoid particular strenghts. There's also the mechanics of counter-gaurdbreaking (getting out of a grab move) and parrying which took me roughly one-two weeks to master and I still screw them up sometime. There's also the fact that many people playing the game now are very experienced. So winning matches will be difficult at first. However, once you learn all of these things. The game becomes unimaginably addictive and fun.

    Third, there are character balancing issues. I said previously that victories are dependent on the player and experience, which are true. However, there are some characters that have advantages that make them more challenging to beat than the norm. For example, vortexes (move chain that is difficult to break out of), 50/50 moves (50 percent chance they do one move or another, and if you predict wrong you get punished), and moves that are too quick to defend against. A win is definetely achievable if you're experienced, but will require more focus than the average character.

    Next is the Single Player. Many people seem to have an issue with it because its uninteresting and bland, which I completely agree with. But people don't play For Honor for the single player, they play it for the multiplayer. Furthermore, the single player is essentially just a comprehensive practice mode. Its great for learning the mechanics of the game.

    Finally the community. Because of these issues, the community is a lot smaller than it once was. You find yourself matched up with people you've fought against before. This isn't a constant thing, but at least once a day I fight around two differnet people I've faced before. The next problem is the commmunity can be pretty toxic at times. If they don't like the way you play or they're just jerks, they can quit on you, taunt over your dead body, and straight up send you hate mail. All these things have happened to me constantly over my during my time with this game.

    I know it seems there were more cons than pros to this game, but the pros it does have far outweight the cons. The enjoyment derived from the gameplay of For Honor makes it a game I highly recommend. If you're patient and willing to learn, you will spend dozens upon dozens of hours playing this game. I hope my review was helpful.    … Expand

    - The main campaign is fun but also very short.
    - Micro transactions. 'Nuff said.

    Overall this is a very good game with a couple minor quirks here and there, but with the coming of dedicated servers and other patches, this game still has potential to REALLY shine. It's worth the price tag, but bear in mind this isn't like Call of Duty, skill is required.    … Expand

I gotta say that I really love how the game works now. Matchmaking has been seriously improved considering the addition of dedicated servers and I always manage to find my way back to For Honor one way or another every couple of days. Considering the massive improvement the development team has put forth, and the progression that was made from release to the present. I have to give this game at least a 9. The only reason I can not give it a 10, is because of the little things. Minor bugs here and there with matchmaking and audio and what not breaks the immersion. I love the game though and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys melee combat in any game!

    One of my favorite games of 2016! It is definitely fun to play with with friends and learning the each unique character is fun to get into. It is easy to find a character you will love to play as, fighting and defeating a tough opponent has never been so satisfying in a multiplayer game!

Recently it is a much better game than when it came out, with dedicated servers fixing a lot ot the disconnection issues and matchmaking improving greatly. The devs main focus now is also making reworks on heroes that struggled to be efficient in battle. I'm hopeful that the game will keep living and get to thrive the way it deserves, but that's only possible with a lot of work from the devs and a bit of patience from us players.… Expand
