    For Honor was one of my most anticipated games ever. 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.

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

Although the storymode isn't the best it gives the best opportunity to get the hang of the game, first level I played on hard just to quickly learn and revise my strategies after that I jumped right into realistic for the rest of the game.

The game modes are simple and straight forward.

    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!

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

    It could be a great game. Fine original combat mechanics, cool visuals, competitive gameplay. But it has one problem: online almost doesn't work. From every 10 matches I can finish one, or two. In other cases players quitting, game crashes, etc... And it's a pretty big problem for an online game.

Things started getting worse when they rolled out some update (can't remember the number), after which every second match resulted in loss of connection.

    For Honor is a great concept with a wonderful, fresh and unique battle system that delivers well. You start off the game creating an emblem on a shield, after that is complete you have the choice of playing through single player or multiplayer; there is no really point in playing single player unless you want to unlock stuff (This is mainly a Multiplayer game). From there you can choose which multiplayer mode you want to take part in, duel ( 1 VS 1), Dominion ( 4 VS 4), and Brawl ( 2 VS 2). I really enjoyed playing duel the most the other ones I was carrying the people I was playing with and then getting destroyed; after you choose the mode you want to play you choose the faction you want to represent, and from there you can choose three or four different warriors from that faction that are all unique with different weapons and move sets.

    For Honor is a solid game with a cool concept and great gameplay, but it suffers terribly from the peer to peer network it can take minutes to connect to an opponent, while in game your opponent can glitch out on you so much making it impossible to play and giving you a loss that is a huge problem.

    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!

    There are a lot of negatives reviews on this game but in response to that, this game is a disappointment to those who were excited for it. That is not to say it is still not a good game.

That is not to say it is still not a good game. They need to create balance. There is one way overpowered faction that you always and I mean ALWAYS win on if you play it. This can turn people off because that is practically the only faction you have to choose if you want to stand a chance. As for the controls I find myself yelling at the game because I have the analog stick in between two ways of the defense mechanic. This is causing my character to get repeatedly being hit over and over again causing him to finally die. Which leads me to my next point, the spamming in this game is incredible terrible. Let me give you an example at the start of every match you run up to your opponent and press o(b) to stun him then you can hit him 3 times then stun him again, which doesn't even give your opponent a chance of fighting. It's all great and all until it happens to you. Another thing that can happen is you can repeatedly press O(B) to stun your opponent until he falls off the edge. This is why I have a hard time playing multiplayer, because you or your opponent don't get a chance at actually fighting its just spam after spam after spam.

    As for the Campaign goes it is decent nothing incredibly moving but also not terrible. The campaign about 70% of the time is literally just the multiplayer except that its telling you what to do. There is right next to no thought process that went into the campaign that would make it unique or that would make it worth your time. It also not very challenging even on a harder difficulty, the only time I had even a little hard time getting by was the boss battle. THE BOSS BATTLE. Seriously? It was the only reason any hardcore gamers would ever play the campaign is because of the challenge, and the boss battle is the only thing that could be scraped up? I'm not saying I like playing every game on nightmare or extreme difficulty. But I do like to have a little bit of a challenge once and awhile. This game does not offer it. As for the story line it is pretty cliche and there were no surprising moments that added to the story. It is all pretty predictable about what would happen in the story. I will not reveal it to prevent spoilers. There is a co-op mode and I'm not going to lie it was pretty fun something about something slicing up guys with a friend makes the story a whole lot more tolerable.

    The graphics in this game aren't as great as Watch dogs 2 but not as bad as watch dogs 1. They do have pretty good graphics though to say the least. The blood is not very realistic as they appear out of the body not cuts. What I'm saying is you take a huge hit at a guys arm and his arm's ok but there's a lot of blood that appeared out of nowhere. With these type of games you need to have a wound where the guy was hit. Not like a game from an old call of duty game (or even newer cods) . All in all they need to patch a few things in the game before its too late for it. There is hope for the game but they have to nerf classes to make it more tolerable.    … Expand

    Big thumbs up for Ubi for trying something differrent to start with. The game itself misses a good story and the multiplayer doesn't have enough depth and is only good in 1 vs 1 gametypes. I would go for the Dark souls approach with a solid PVE combined with PVE, this could've made this game great.

I'm not talking about the classes and balance, I am talking about connectivity. As far as gameplay goes For Honor is one of the most fun games that I have ever played. 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

You have 3 factions and 12 characters to play, with 6 more characters coming out this year. Ubisoft is doing a good job with following the game and it has been no dissapointment whatsoever for 60$ What is good about the game?: -You    Well, where do i start.

You have 3 factions and 12 characters to play, with 6 more characters coming out this year. Ubisoft is doing a good job with following the game and it has been no dissapointment whatsoever for 60$

    What is good about the game?:
    -You have a 12 characters that are designed good in how they fight and how they look, and more to come
    -You have 3 factions which makes you feel you are a part of something while also makes a commuity growing.
    -Graphics are good and up to date.
    -The maps look great and more to come.
    -It has a simple feel to the combat, yet also showing great depth making this a fighting game EVEN casuals can enjoy.

    Cons:
    -Not the best story, this is a subjective point and i'v heard alot of people actually enjoying the campaign. I don't drag the game alot down in score just because of a bad campaign (IMO) because this was displayed as a multiplayer game. The story gives you no feel for the characters, no attachments whatsoever and tells a tale of a warmongering knight, you are given 6 chapters for each faction and the "missions" you will be doing are rather boring. The only good thing is the cutscenes and some of the voice acting.
    -Repetitive. The game is repetitive and will get boring after a certain amount of time, just like any other fighting game. I'v played this game for about 240 hours now and i can certainly see the interest of the game dropping down, atleast for me. This has not only something to do with how repetitive the game feels but also the balance and how rewarding it feels to win a match.
    -Balance. This is ubisofts first attempt on a fighting game and it really shows. The balance in this game is something that can OFC be fixed, and in every fighting game you will have some kind of unbalancement. Some of the matches feel cheap and it feels like you cant do anything except taking a blow, just because you picked a character that does not have great tools.
    -The feeling of reward. There just is no feeling of reward in this game, you win a match and you're like "huh, i guess i won" and will shrug it off. In SFV or MKX i will get the victory with reading the opponent correctly and executing a combo that i'v practiced on, this will really get me riled up! I REALLY miss that feeling in For Honor, and my guess is that it is way to simplistic and you can cheese your way out of most fights, the challenge is not that great when it comes to players, sadly. I will say that they are going to add ranked and tournament mode which will make this game more competitive and maybe even more rewarding, but until then. This is still a problem.

    My reasons for judging the game are subjective and the only reason i post this is to have my say in the matter. Some people praise this game WAAAAY too much and others hate on it too much.

    I usually hate multiplayer games, but this one got me hooked. No more snipers taking you out from across the map, no more players able to move at lightning speed.

    The game has some drawbacks, especially in terms of the single player campaign. The biggest problem is that it's all online only, so if the servers are down, you can't even play the single player mode. Also, the single player campaign is half-baked, with a very lackluster and unimaginative story.

    My favorite mode is Dominion, which seems to be the main game mode: it is the only game mode that features both tactical and strategic play, and it rewards those players who are good at teamwork. It also tends to discourage ganking, as players who group together will tend to be open to losing control zones to those who implement a more flexible strategy.    … Expand

Of course I am on the bandwagon about thIS, but still, it is a fact that this game would be better if there were dedicated servers vs. P2P. 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.

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.

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

    -Peer to peer isn't broken. Occasional disconnects happen, as with the occasional 2-4 second pause in play, but I haven't experienced any netcode/tracking errors nor any advantages granted to the host of the game.

    -Gameplay isn't repetitive, but deeply engrossing. Some see this game as having a tri-directional block and two types of attacks, when the game at its heart has about 10 unique combos per character, 12 feats per character many of which are unique to them, and a total of 12 characters. Not to mention you have grabs, guard blocks, charges, throws, unique character traits such as not being able to stay in a block, or being able to attack whilst evading, and you have yourself a game with a high skill cap.

    All of this to say it isn't perfect, but it certainly isn't deserving of a 0. I think the average it's gotten of about 80 is accurate. The single player falls flat, the menu navigation is necessarily over complicated, and not enough is done to guide new players into combat during the game. Sure, you have advance tutorials in the menus, but as with most high skill cap games, a good deal of learning should be done whilst actually playing, something that For Honor under delivers on. Most of the time, if you're beaten, you have no idea why or how to change up your strategy short of accidentally stumbling on something.

    Overall I'd rate it an 8.5 for myself, as I'm a fan of these types of games. The use of environment makes for interesting show downs, with nimbler characters (if they're smart) drawing enemies to open ground whereas slower ones might opt for choke points. Some classes have distinct disadvantages against others, but the use of environment balances things out, which I think is a nice touch. Overall, if you're the type of gamer comfortable with failing, into competitive combat, and enjoy high risk-high reward plays, this is the game for you.    … Expand

Combat is fun, game types are generic but incorporated into the idea very well. Fair share of network issue, but not as bad as Division and RB6 had.

    Nonetheless, the fact that this is a Hack & Slash game that brings me back to my old school LOTR games back on the PS2 is what gets it for me. Unfortunately it's not something I see myself playing once I pick up Mass Effect or another one of the big titles that's dropping in March.

    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).

    - There are 12 classes but essentially 2 play styles: attack people quickly around their attacks, or smash them with a huge long-distance attack that they're not expecting. This has a number of ill effects on the gameplay:
    a. Teamplay basically just consists of ganking in a fashion similar to any other team action game you've played. This is especially the case since there is stagger so the victim cannot fight back, and you generally have to be locked on (unlike Mount & Blade or Dark Souls) to actually be effective. The targeting system is awful.
    b. Duelling consists of timing your special abilities properly like a MOBA instead of a careful fencing match like M&B.
    c. None of your progress really means anything other than aesthetics.

    - There might as well be no music in the game. The most memorable tunes will be the menu music (that you'll hear many times after being disconnected) which has no melody or the lobby music which is basically a drum march.

    - Graphics are not bad, but they're nothing terribly impressive. Most of the processing power seems to go into creating detailed surroundings. The characters might be out of an Army of Two sequel.

    - Netcode is totally awful, as if you need to be told this by now. All matches are peer-to-peer and if more than one person leaves the game (don't worry, server capacity is 8 - lol) then everyone gets kicked. Some people get kicked from the majority of their matches before they complete. For me, it's about 40%. Yes, my router is set up properly, and yes, I have more than 100 Mbps down and 30 up.

    - Combat is interesting but doesn't particularly make sense. Most people hack with their weapons, like that's going to significantly affect a fully plated opponent. There are very few thrusting attacks unless you're a polearm class. You cannot interrupt giant telegraphic attacks with a shove, but a tiny graze with a knife will do. You cannot fall more than 2 stories before DYING, although you can be clubbed in the head 3 times by a kanabo, something historically used to destroy metal armor and paralyze horses, without being permanently wounded. Arrows are insanely powerful, mainly because they are relegated to feats with long recharge times, like that makes sense. You can sprint forever but as soon as you swing your weapon about 4 times you are out of breath and almost defenseless. Essentially, everyone is forced to behave like they're fighting in a video game.
    - There is a massive amount of downtime. It's not at GTA Online levels, but it has taken me upwards of 7 or 8 minutes regularly to begin playing a game mode that I want to. This is especially problematic when the game gives you Destiny-esque daily orders to complete as your only real means to gaining currency or experience. Loading maps, loading the lobby, matchmaking, waiting for players to ready up, watching unskippable cutscenes and faction war briefings - it's all unavoidable, all unskippable. The only way you can really get around it is to make a custom match that won't count toward your progress. You HAVE to sit there for virtually half the time doing nothing.
    - Cynically, to circumvent this, a number of players will just sit at the back of the map while their teammates carry them through because they will, nonetheless, get progress toward the "complete x number of ... matches" orders. Today I even played with a guy whose PSN name included Farmer. Unlike better games from 20 years ago, there are no means to flag or kick these people.    … Expand

The micro-transactions provide exclusive gear that only changes your aesthetics, but it also allows you to speed up your progress - which in turn grants gear that enables "revenge mode" constantly and pretty much compensates for any lack of skill by allowing you to become super strong and resilient for extended periods of time. I hate to use the expression "game-breaking", but really.. why would they introduce such a feature in a game that's supposedly based on skill, precision and tactics? You may argue that these items may be obtained for free, over time, but like in most micro-transaction based games, the amount of currency you get by being a non-paying player is frustratingly slow, and I personally think it kills the joy to try and rank up "the hard way" while some people below my rank are constantly in God mode.

    Like in most Ubisoft games, it's clear that the team that developed For Honor have tons of talent and creativity, but the end product is shamefully ruined by the capitalistic nature of this company. I know I have been disappointed by Ubisoft for the last time. At this point in time, there's no doubt, whatsoever, that they're all about quantity over quality. It is very possible to do well in For Honor, if you're an exceptionally skilful player who don't mind investing a lot of time in a game that's designed to frustrate you into spending money beyond the asking price of the base game. I would not feel sad at all, if Ubisoft suddenly went bankrupt. They deserve worse. The talent of their developers are being tragically wasted.    … 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.

    Game play:
    The fighting system in For Honor, in my opinion, is revolutionary. The duel and guard system is a fresh way to play a game like this. Anticipating your enemies attacks and blocks, mixed with parry, guard breaks, environmental kills, revenge mode, executions, and revives create a complex combat system that leaves you with a rewarding feeling when you defeat an enemy. The warriors are fun to play, and it is easy to fall in love with at least one, so with enough practice and playing you can become an formidable opponent.
    Single-player:
    The campaign is split into 3 parts where you play each faction in each chapter. The developers were right when it does explain the current state of the world in which you are plunged in the multiplayer, however someone playing can't help but feel apathy when playing it. The story isn't great, save for a few moments, and the characters are forgettable. There isn't much to say about the campaign because it's hardly even a campaign. Poor writing, and uninteresting characters really kill it. I found multiple times where the story could have been better, and where cool twists or events could have been made, were not. Overall the story is forgettable but worth doing for the steel it awards you for multiplayer use. It's fast enough to where you're not wasting too much time with it.
    Multiplayer:
    Lets get one thing straight. Peer-2-peer servers were a horrible decision for this game. Either due to bad connection, or people rage quitting, the game can suddenly stop taking you out of immersion. That, mixed with a almost seemingly toxic community (already) can leave a bad taste in your mouth. People crying "Play with Honor!" or even "You want Honor play 1v1" can just get annoying (However I will agree, i hate it when people throw me off a cliff). At Least it's like that in PC, maybe the console community's are better. Now into actual multiplayer game play. They give you a hand full of game modes; Duel, Brawl, Dominion, Elimination, & Skirmish. Duel is always 1v1, Brawl is 2v2, and the rest is 4v4, all have option to play against bots. All game modes are fun to play, and can leave you frustrated and raging pretty easily. The games pull you into it, leaving your heart race in a close match as you charge your enemies. It's part of the game with 4v4 and you start getting ganked by the entire enemy team, but hey, that IS part of the game, don't let people tell you otherwise. Some people will play with honor, but most won't. The maps are for the most part good, but some get stale if you play them too much. One of the better things is the customization of warriors. There are loads of paint options (earned through leveling up), helmets, weapon shafts, blades, axe heads, handles, armor, and a lot more. Emotes and effects to add to your warrior add that bit of flare. The game's strong point is its' multiplayer, and even though there are some problems it can be a fun and rich experience, that will leave you craving more.
    Overall:
    For Honor is not a perfect game. However, it is a fun game that can also infuriate you. I DO recommend this game, as it seems ubisoft will be pretty dedicated to it (even though no dedicated servers).
    Tl;Dr:
    Really fun game, sucks at some parts but forgivable.
    Pros:
    Combat, Warriors, Customization, Game play, Atmosphere, multiplayer, dedicated community
    Cons:
    Little to offer single player, Peer-2-peer connection, some toxic community

    There is probably somethings I missed, but really this game is good. Even though some players can be annoying, most are pretty good. If you are even slightly interested in this game, check it out.    … Expand

It is a game that throws so much noise and frustration at the player, that it would not surprise me if someone ranked it a 5 either. Here are the pros, mix and cons:

    Pros)
    1- Fantastic combat that feels like how real warriors would have fought in a Deadliest Warrior scenario.
    2- Music score is very well done and makes tension work very well, especially in duels and brawls.
    3- Duels (and brawls) are the best part of the multiplayer, and make the fighting game aspect shine the brightest
    4- Fighters are well balanced in terms of their movesets and customizing them is fun

    Mixed:
    1) Graphics look great from a distant (and on the fighters as well), but the up close textures on minions and certain spots are muddy and shoddy.
    2) Its 4v4, while overall alright, seem diluted on the combat premise and using powerups just feels like a moba instead of a fighting game.
    3) Faction Wars is just a popularity contest, its up in the air on axing or improving it.
    4) Some matches will have pit falls and while it takes skill to make this game work, you can easily cheese and get cheesed by them.

    Cons:
    1) Peer To Peer system in 2017 is unacceptable in any multiplayer game, not just for player performance but also for internet security as well.
    2) Microtransactions and season passes infest the screen and encourage to spend more money "if you don't have time" (as the game screen tells me this by the by).
    3) Launch on PC WAS worse than consoles, but consoles still had issues with matches being dropped, game applications crashing, lag, recovering network displays.
    4) Campaign was awful with a forgettable plot, terrible voice acting, AI with god reflexes that dilute the combat and repetitive lines: You are a raider, legendary! YOU ARE A RAIDER, LEGENDARY!
    5) Loot boxes/scavenger crates that ruin progression and create (arguably) a pay to win mechanic (as you can buy the currency steel with real money to acquire those crates).    … Expand

As a casual game player it is harder and harder to enjoy competitive game play as our lives become more priority over "prestiges". For Honor brings us into a world of competition that is rewarding and difficult.

    The Game:
    It is a war game like all the others but its world design and combat mechanics making it a fully enveloping game. Combat mechanics include a block mechanic where you must move your analog stick in the direction to block an attack. Blinking red and shield graphics tell you whether to block parry guard break or dodge to the left. Body movements help you decide which side to attack on your opponent. This is by no means a button mashing game. You must use your own reaction time and combos to defeat your opponents. Weapons and characters are fantastic looking and can be made more unique through leveling up. Using your own emblem and armor/weapon choices to make you stand out in the orange and blue teams.

    The Matches
    Multiple game variations including elimination, duel, brawl and dominion (my personal favorite). There is a steep learning curve as reaction time is a must in parry, blocking and guard breaking. But each character has strengths and weaknesses that you can take advantage of given the time. Including A.I bots makes the game much more enjoyable as it gives you a bit of practice before taking on the "elite" players of the game. Even with higher gearscore you have a chance to defeat a more experienced player through either use of level defeating (throwing em off a ledge or into a fire pit or spikes on a wall). It also includes a "revenge" mode which will help less powerful players get an edge on the more experienced players. This ability can be good in some cases and a nightmare. In my opinion that makes it balanced. All matches can be played vs computers or players.

    Dominion - capture points
    Skirmish - fight with a.i soldiers with buffs
    elimination - 4v4 duel with buffs
    brawl - 2v2 duel but with no buffs
    duel - 1v1 duel no buffs

    Server issues
    The game does suffer through networking issues. I will openly admit I have been kicked while winning battles and losing but gives many of us regular players the wonder if people are losing to keep their "K/D ratios" or if its one of the many errors the game is causing. Many of these can be put aside as every single game on either psn or xbox live has ran into these issues. We can only hope they will be fixed in the future.

    Gear and Loot
    The Loot system is very unique as you can play with one character and reward another through purchasing chests or gear crates. It includes many different variations which will include defense, attack, revenge mode. The gear will obviously get better as your "prestige" in the game. The first level giving you initial blue gear and so on and so forth. IF you like the stats you have on your current gear you have the ability to upgrade all the loot you find to a certain point. Breaking down other armor you are not using for materials to upgrade your favorites.

    The Goal of the Game
    Completing Orders, attacking the other factions and obviously better loot and prestige. The game itself is a game resources and you get those resources from (obviously) combat. Winning battles gives you steel, and gear but also deploy able troops. The more wins the better amount of troops you can deploy on the world map. The more territories you attack and defend gets your faction points. Those points decide the fate of your faction and the "bonus chests" you get at the end of a round. Those rounds then decide the fate of that current war which lasts about 2 months. As the game is new I am not sure what happens at that end of all the rounds.

    Final Thoughts
    The game is a great fighter game. It is a tough combat system but rewarding with practice. Worth a buy if you enjoy competitive combat but are willing to take the time to learn characters. Levels are fun and the amount of diverse characters give it much replay value. So grab some buddies pick a character and show the world how honorable you are!    … Expand

    At its core, For Honor excels with an amazing combat system. There are few games in the multiplayer space with the intensity and satisfaction of head to head battles with other players.

    The problem is everything else that chops away at its top tier core. Servers have been a catastrophe for me (primarily 4v4 modes). Disconnects mid game, unable to connect to games (no, its not on my end). Combine that with long loads and it is nightmarish just to play. One of them on their own you can deal with, but combined you can spend gigantic chunks of time just trying to play.

    The second flaw is the incredibly greedy and stingy progression model. It almost feels like a free to play game more than a full product. Progression models can be addictive and a good time, but make no mistake, this is not one. Its trying to score big of microtransactions.

    The last big flaw is the larger game modes. Having something dynamic vs pure dueling adds some important and necessary life to the game, but too often can they devolve into snowballing gangbeatings. When you find those 1v1s or 2v2s within these modes, the game is at its best, but there will be no shortage of times you get blindsided in encounters.

    Its just the nature of the beast. Unlike say a shooter where you can kill an opponent in a second or two, when you have a minute long duel, it leaves a much larger window for interference, and things start snowballing as people fall 1 by 1.

    This makes For Honor a very bipolar game. Sometimes you are in awe at just how much fun you are having, and the next you wonder why you waste your time. Certainly a game worth playing, but just how much someone likes it will depend how much these issues bother them.    … Expand

    - The campaign is an excuse to say the product has one
    The gear leveling system is poorly designed and due to this, the game IS pay-to-win (high end gear add no variety to the play but adds more to the few base stats, sou you end up one-shoting your opponents frequently.
    I feel Ubisoft deserved a law suit in the countries where it has businesses (not in my case) for delivering a product so full of flaws that fails at it's heart: to provide a decent multiplayer experience. The beta was a marketing bait, that unfortunately got me.

    Love the game and still playing it regularly. However Server connection issues when someone drops out makes playing with friends frustrating. Once someone quits out of a game there seems to be a 50/50 chance that the game will crash and send you and your party to the main menu where you lose all experience gained. If this gets patched then I would have to up my score to about an 8 or 8.5

    Where the game really shines, though, is in it's multiplayer. The thing hurting this game right now is the network connectivity. I'm very lucky to get into a match where I don't have connection issues or lag. Which, at the moment breaks the game for me. A game where in just a few moments you can get cut down, lag can have a huge effect. I run in and start a duel with another opponent, game studders and I get a connection icon pop up on screen, then when it finishes connecting, I find myself dead. Or the connection icon comes up, followed by my opponent disappearing, followed by a new player joining, with full health. This becomes a problem when you've been fighting that other character, you've lost health, then this new player comes in and has full health, Basically giving this new player a free kill. That's if I can stay in a game, I'd say that 1 out of 8 games I get kicked out for no apparent reason.
    In the games current state, I can't really recommend it. I really like the game, but the connection issues ruin it. Hopefully, something will be done to fix this.    … Expand

This is a game that can be enjoy more with friends due to being able to organize more strategy, but also can be enjoy solo if one does not concern themselves with losing 4v1 at times, because it is going to happen. I think what will hold this game back is the range of skill will start to vanish, and so those who are not performing at a high level will lose interest.

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.

    This game truly is different, no one fight is the same. The various characters allow for new experiences, and for the first time in my career of fighting games, everyone feels balanced. There will be online favorites, but there isnt a single character i've fought, where i felt like i couldnt beat with anyone if I was truly a smarter fighter.

    The various game modes talor to those who prefer small personal bouts street fighter style, or those who want to feel as if they were thrown in a midevil war zone battlefield 1 fashion.

    Microtransactions are a good thing when done correctly. I have time to grind, so i grind, someone else may not. Think outside the box people.

    Are there some server issues. Yes. As with everyone new game that comes out. Its not bad enought to stop you from playing. Something easily patchable.

    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

    An addictive, nuanced and surprisingly deep battler, prevented from being a killer by its lack of variety. [Apr 2017, p.73]

    The campaign might disappoint, but the game’s one-on-one online duels will take you to Valhalla. [May 2017, p75]

    A brilliant multiplayer battler with a combat system that captures meaty melee battles like no other, but a mediocre single-player unfortunately drags it down. [Apr 2017, p.86]
