    You won't find an experience like this anywhere else - this is the kind of new IP that breathes life into an industry stagnating with sequels and "me-too" titles that use the same genre formulas again and again with little in the way of innovation.

    Thrilling, well-polished, and addictive - For Honor is the thinking person's PvP game.

    At the end of the day this is just a moba with more effort spent on graphics than actual gameplay or character diversity.

    It's unfortunate because it shows promise but the lack of hero diversity and game modes wears thin pretty quickly. Classes are really unbalanced which is even more obvious when the lag from not having any dedicated servers kicks in. Single Player get's boring really quickly and the rewards don't seem worth it. Gear seems to do nothing but customise your character slightly which is good but doesn't seem worth the effort.

    Nice game. It's not an easy game, requires some training before going full-action but it is rewarding.
    Fight animations and the atmosphere are marvelous. It only needs dedicated servers and more game-mod varieties. These new mods should be provided as free DLCs ASAP.

    Lets be frank the For Honor is focused on Multi-player. The campaign is more like a tutorial to play the multiplayer than a true solo experience.

    The 4 vs 4 multiplayer modes are more like Hack n slash games while the 1 vs 1 is a complete different game fitted for e-sport.

    To sum up, I'd say if you are a competitive gamer it is a really good game. For most casual multi-player players, it is also a really fun and refreshing game in all of the modes. But once again, if you are a solo gamer interested in campaigns it's not a game for you.    … Expand

Do you like fighting games? If Yes- Buy this you will get the most out of it all the classes are fun and unique each one is literally like a different character and you can spend forever learning tips and tactics with each, If you dont like fighting games, it may still be for you but be wary, from what i can tell, at the moment the games features might be lacking a bit, and while the setting and atmosphere may carry you, this is STILL essentially a fighting game at its core and you have to spend time to learn it, rather than go in and get pissed off when people who know how to play fighting games kill you again and again, you cant mash your way though it online, you have to think and be clever, on the good side though, its not remarkably complicated, its very simple in fact so spend the couple of hours to learn how to do things like safely approach and parry, and properly defend and punish and this game could teach you the fundamentals of any fighting game.... In conclusion i feel like this game suffers maybe from the Street Fighter V problem (though nowhere near as severe) where, Combat... 10/10, Setting/Atmosphere/Graphics 10/10, Features.... probably more around a 5/10 (street fighter v would have been a 2/10)... Its a superb game, i already know it is, but if you're looking for the single player experience, dont bother, looking for great online play thats nothing like anything else on the market... buy now, or maybe wait a bit for a price drop or a nice meaty update that perhaps adds something special... i dont feel like i can give a score because i dont own the full game but just considering its something new and exiting the devs alone need something in the green for branching out and making something DIFFERENT… Expand

    Content is severely lacking currently. The campaign while neat, is a glorified and really well done spin on the standard Tutorial.

    Please understand, as I am reading so many negative reviews, that this is NOT a button masher. This is pure calculated combat. Is there ganking??? Yes but it isn't effective because 4v1 means 3 others are capturing points.

    Good while it lasts

    IT can be played in co-op or alone and is spread across 3 chapters.. One for each faction... the knights... Vikings... and samurai... and each chapter contains 6 missions and all end in an epic boss battle…
    You even play as different characters with different fighting styles throughout the chapters..
    I was surprised what I got with the campaign…
    The story was interesting, as it deals with the art of war…
    and the gameplay manages to feel fresh throughout most of the campaign...
    You never really notice that you’re doing the same thing over and over... which is going checkpoint to checkpoint and killing everything in your way for xp…
    This is very much a game for the aggressive type...
    No stalking your prey here
    It is worth actively picking fights and searching the surrounding area and not just running to objectives because the game does have points of interests to give back story to your location.. They’re pretty well hidden though which is a shame because I loved listening to them as I fought… and it brought life to the level...
    And killing enemies again gives you xp...
    There’s a story level cap of 30 and as you level up you’ll unlock new perks like the ability to heal yourself or boost your damage or defense…
    As well as pick up consumables throughout the level to use in combat to poison enemies, catch them on fire, heal your allies just to name a few
    It doesn’t quite have a AAA campaign feel to it though…
    It feels very much like an afterthought… but it still managed to put in a few surprising moments in there that I wasn’t expecting with the type of game this is...
    I felt it was a great campaign... but far from amazing...
    And I’m not sure if it’s the gameplays fault or the setting, but during chapter 3 as the samurai, all interest in the story disappeared… the game started to feel repetitive, the level and mission design started to feel lazy and I was ready to just hop into the competitive modes…
    But I still definitely recommend playing through the campaign first..
    Dealing with Ai enemies programmed specifically to act certain ways in combat will teach you all sorts of tricks for dealing with human enemies... and it takes the combat system deeper than the tutorial does putting you way ahead of the competition as at this moment only about 4% of players beat the story..
    You’ll learn how to deal with annoying blockers, light attack or heavy attack spammers... as well as use combos and easily be able to handle groups of enemies…
    The Actual Multiplayer is pretty great too for a while..
    When the game starts you choose a faction but you can still use any and every character...
    The faction is just the team you’re on fighting to take control of the map...
    It does reset every month…
    And there are tons of customizable options to make your characters feel like yours...
    And much like the story mode you unlock feats here as well, which act like perks as you level up
    There are currently 5 different competitive modes..
    Dominion which is a 4v4 capture and hold game, skirmish and elimination which are 4vf4 team death match games, and finally 1v1 duel, and 2v2 brawl
    unfortunately Dominion and skirmish are really the only 2 modes worth playing…
    The game does an awful job at distributing teammates evenly and fairly…
    But these 2 modes are where this matters the absolute least…
    In Elimination, duel, and brawl...
    This is where the flaws and imbalances of the game and its characters start to show…
    Some characters have spammable and unlockable attacks that put you on your back or leave you defenseless…
    And online players feel no shame in doing this to secure a win…
    The fact that there are so many unlockable moves really ruins these modes…
    especially when they can mean instadeath near a ledge in a duel…
    These modes ultimately feel cheap…
    There ultimately isn’t enough in For Honor to keep people playing for months…
    The game is hard to pick up and unlockable spam attacks ruin player encounters..
    But it’s still a great game... at least for a little while…

It has been nice to see the progress in the game, but it feels like they put all their effort into 1v1 combat and everything else was secondary. When I say this I am referring to the secondary abilities. They do add some extra strategy to combat, but some of the abilities are insanely over powered.

    Most of the maps feel like moba style maps. Three lanes that players hop between. Obviously more maps can always be added. Right now the variance just doesn't feel like enough. The duel mode is the purest form of the game and I can see it being the focus in competitive play. Brawl can get messy especially if either team seems determined to fight 2v1. This causes a lot of scrambling. Dominion or 4v4 can be an absolute mess a lot of the time. You will likely see packs of enemies running around the map. In this mode it is unwise to ever think you will have a 1v1 match up. You will likely always either have an advantage or disadvantage. None of this really lets the gameplay shine, but more so shows how the mechanics break down and become obsolete.

    In the instances you do find yourself surrounded you can block attacks from people you are not lock onto and I'm sure someone who is a god at this game will post videos of them destroying people 1v4 on youtube, but for most people this will never happen. The revenge mode may make it possible to take on multiple people at once, but you can't rely on it to overcome the odds. The game is heavily skill based, which is good, but I also feel some of the mechanics need to be ironed out still. One thing I have found is that if an enemy starts a swing and you go to do a guard break, there is no collision on your guard break since they are not guarding and its as if you are standing there doing nothing. This leaves you wide open for attacks.

    Now I understand it by name is a guard break, but hitting someone should be read as hitting someone and its affect should not be dependent on their current action. I feel this is valid because lets say you go to guard break someone and right as you hit the button they do a heavy attack. Your guard break lands long before the heavy attack, but because it doesn't work or do anything in the current build you take the full damage from their attack. In the very least it should stop their attack and you both start over.

    Anyway that was me just pointing out a few things I think are holding this game back. I have enjoyed my time with it so far, but I really want to see it grow into more and have adjustments made to the combat. Its not a perfect game, but I think Ubisofts entry into the growing melee combat games is a strong and refreshing take that needs refinement. I won't say its the best one out there. Some of the other games actually make you feel like you are in a medieval battle. Other games have armor that matters in terms of weapons that are affective against them and archers which really change things up. For Honor offers less in a more arcade style game with small maps and combat that I feel has been done better. They are new and have time to improve, but right now they aren't the best entry. Still a fun game, but I have to question how strong the player base will be in a month unless improvements are made quickly,    … Expand

To be clear, For Honor has a steep learning curve, but the skill ceiling is high enough to make the investment of your time and work well worth it.

    The melee combat plays like a dream, the victory going to the most skilled player. I get the impression most players leaving bad reviews never took the time to use one of the games many practice modes to actually learn the moveset of their class, Learn your class, practice, and you will be rewarded. A lot of players get discouraged by 2v1 situations, but the game uses a "revenge mode" that activates in your favor if you are getting ganged up on. This buffs your HP and increases you damage, and really can even of odds if used properly. I'm about 30 hours deep in playtime, and I'm finally at the point were 2v1 situations are manageable for me, but this just comes with PRACTICE which is not something many players are willing to invest. Their loss.

Something that feels all too rare in today's triple-A gaming scene. It's exciting approach to combat sets it apart from the pack and makes for one of most unique multiplayer experiences currently on the market. Although a few niggling issues are present here and there, this is a remarkably well-executed game.

    It's the combat system that really makes For Honor so special. This isn't your average button-mashing action game. Juggling attacks from different directions and finding openings in your opponents strategy is a blast. It's so much deeper than one might initially expect. Taking the time to master all of the game's intricacies and discovering new ways to best your opponents is incredibly satisfying. While you'll find plenty of people online who are content to spam attacks and get lucky kills, skill is what will ultimately win the day. There's no feeling more rewarding than surviving an encounter against two or more players on the other team because you took the time to master the combat system.

    The game does offer a single-player campaign. It consists of three chapters, each of which have six levels. Mostly, this mode just serves as kind of an extended tutorial if you will. It's not bad by any means, but multiplayer is definitely the heart of the experience. Those looking for a lengthy and satisfying offline experience should look elsewhere. The story mode is only worth a few hours of entertainment. The story itself is painfully uninteresting. Still, it has it's moments of fun.

    This is a game where the more you play, the better you get. As you learn new strategies, you'll also be able to purchase new gear which modify your stats to your playstyle. Now this is by no means where the player(s) with the best gear dominate matches. Like I said, skill wins the day. Plus, every piece of gear I've seen thus far has come with trade-offs as well.

    One notable sour patch in the multiplayer experience is that there are times where people will drop out of a match and you'll be left playing with or against bots. You still get the fun of the match, but it's nowhere near as satisfying as fighting against a real person. The bots honestly aren't that bright or tough. There are also the rare moments of lost connections. These matchmaking issues are rare, but nonetheless disappointing when they do show up.

    So For Honor isn't perfect. It could use a better campaign, more modes and maps, and a few wrinkles ironed out. However at the end of the day the incredible combat system, depth, and all around originality make up for these faults. If you're looking for a fresh face to enter into your multiplayer rotation you'll be hard pressed to find a better option than For Honor. It rewards skill and patience like few other games out there right now, which makes it perfect for hardcore competition. Even if it ends up not being your cup of tea the game is at least deserving of a chance. Not only is it something genuinely new on the market, but just about everything it does, it does well.    … Expand

For Honor is at its heart a fighting game and people who aren't into fighting games this one won't change your mind. 1v1 is the most balanced of the game modes in multiplayer then it begins to fall off. All the classes are distinct and balanced. I love the feeling that the characters and weapons have weight and momentum, and the gameplay is easy to pick up but very hard to master. P2P game hosting is not ideal, if the host drops you're pretty much paused until a new host can be established. This is my biggest complaint about the game.

    Gameplay is fun and good customization, but the god awful servers make it pretty much unplayable. The P2P might be one of the worst things I have ever seen in a game and the gameplay ends up being an irrelevant point when you arent even able to play the game. In the rare chance you actually get a match going, the game will end up crapping out 9 times out of 10.

Whiners saying it's unbalanced just can't play for **** this game does take skill), good graphics and animations, and even a tutorial-style single-player campaign mode, despite the game focusing on multiplayer. What is more, the season pass only offers cosmetic junk and 1-week early access to characters everybody will still be able to play! This is, like, the least Ubisoft game made by Ubisoft ever.

    Now it is true that there are connection issues, but in my ~70 hours of play (for me, it's an awful lot for a multiplayer game) the first several weeks were actually fine. 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. It is truly a shame, as otherwise it's a stellar multiplayer brawler/fighter which I'll probably get back to once they release the new characters and maps in May.    … Expand

Everything in this game is up-close and (mostly) as slow-moving as it is in real life, so those who dislike the ridiculousness of FPS games might actually enjoy it.

    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

    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

    The reason this game does it for me is because it is a Hack & Slash kind of game and it's a first in a while that brings back a setting I really enjoy. 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 game requires some patience and learning the move-sets of the different characters. It is fundamentally simple by design and yet with a very high skill cap. Timing, patience and skill knowledge win in this game. Also ignore comments from people saying it will take forever to unlock everything. That is not a basis to review a game, the game was never designed around the idea that one should unlock every characters items. you pick a couple of favorite heroes and focus on those, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of customization options. These options to make your heroes feel truly unique to you as it is rare to come across someone using for example the same type of armor, color scheme, armor embossing and symbols, gender and ornaments.

    Good graphics, excellent combat, plenty to unlock which is well structured to enable and encourage you to learn each character and keep you coming back. The game has a number of modes to play, all of which are fun and relatively short meaning you do not get bogged down in overly long matches. I would recommend any new player thinking of getting the game to play the practice modes, both basic and advanced. they do not take long, as well as to play the campaign and some duels against bots to learn one hero well before jumping into duels or matches against players. It can be quite frustrating getting rolled over by moves you do not understand how to counter or avoid. As well as this you will be able to try most of the base game characters to find one that truly suits your play style and even skill level..

    As with any game of this nature there will always be some balance issues between the classes. This is no different than any other game and again people complaining about overpowered heroes etc need to shut up and go and look at other games on the market. They all have these issues. It would be almost impossible for any dev to make upwards of 18 highly unique characters purely balanced and an even match for each other. It is a game of counters and strategies, get over it.

    All in all a great game that had some issues at launch which I think it is clear the developers want to get past to make the game a success.    … Expand

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

I wouldn't say this game is like dark souls, but if you get angry at that game, you'll probably get mad while playing For Honor. There's a steep learning curve but once you get it, you'll be executing Knights, Vikings, and Samurai with ease. There's lots of videos on combat and on the basic and advanced moves for each character. I'd recommend playing everyone at least once, and then choosing your favorite to focus on and level up. It's also beneficial to practice blocking and attacking if you have a friend in custom match. You can change the settings so that you both receive ieve less damage so that you can practice longer without dying. Also save your steel on scavenging gear till you at least get to Reputation 1. The rarity of the items you get from the chest depends on each characters level so buying them early for level 1 gear is just a waste. Story mode isn't very deep but can be a fun break from multiplayer. It can be coop as well so you can play with a friend. There are some issues with the game though, which are the currency and connection. Currency in the form of Steel can be bought with with real money which then can be used to buy a range of things, but the main issues come from maxing out your characters feats with some steel and things that give an extreme unfair advantage. For the connection issues, I would say if you ever played Rainbow 6 Siege then you'll be used to connection problems. Sometimes you'll connect to a game within 30 seconds, others times minutes will go by without a single teammate. Perhaps this will get better in time, but when the game does connect it's very fun. Although people will complain that enemies will run away instead of fighting to the death when their losing, that's just part of warfare. That's a strategy you should be aware of that they might use, and should try to corner them into a wall to cut off their escape. There's a counter to everything in this game if you just have the patience to learn it. If you enjoy highly skill and competitive based game, that takes a little bit of work to get, but has a high payout then I'd highly recommend For Honor.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far, this looks like a game with very high potential. The one thing that I noticed that troubled me was the rating. Being rated M seems a little excessive. The only real gore comes from the blood when you are hit and the "executions". The worst of these being an inferred decapitation for the Orochi character. Other than that, there is obviously the constant fighting in the game, but nothing really unreasonable. Me and my wife got it for my 13 year old on the 15th and he seems to love it. Of course, I played it first because he is 13 and the game is rated M, but from what I played it is basically rated T. It is a game that keeps the player active and aware at all times and actually requires some skill and strategy. Just make sure if you are a parent, and your kid plays the Orochi character, do not let them use the decapitation. It's nothing major, but you definitely know what is happening. 9/10… Expand

    Ok, this is stupid. Please read those NEGATIVE reviews and tell me they make any sense at all? They're rating the game without a single logic argument. Anyway, for those who are actually thinking about getting the game, the first thing you should know is that For Honor is a multiplayer game, mainly, but still offers a decent campaign.

Anyway, for those who are actually thinking about getting the game, the first thing you should know is that For Honor is a multiplayer game, mainly, but still offers a decent campaign.

    The combat here is absolutely flawless. Its resemblance to Dark Souls is undeniable, which involves strategy, spacing, combos, perry, counters, and more (you can say it borrows from fighting games too). It has a deep and complex system that makes you pay attention to everything you do and prevents you -technically- to just spam one button. It offers 3 factions each with 4 warriors, so far. A balanced, a strong, an agile and a kinda hybrid class. All of them with a different playstyle. You choose your strategy. It has a lot of modes, including Dominion, Duels, Team DeathMatch, etc. It's an ideal game to play with friends.

    In conclusion, if you are looking for a deep, complex combat, in a game that is beautifully designed with outstanding graphics and has a lot of content and even a campaign , don't miss For Honor.

It gets aggravating in the beginning, yes. The learning curve for this game can be very irritating. What you have to account for, is that each and every character is COMPLETELY unique. They all have signature moves, though every single move is either dodge-able or blockable. This game is about learning movesets, as well as how other players play their characters. Timing is everything, and if you can get that down then it is rewarding. This is easily one of the best PvP fighting games out there. It is well balanced, and the fight mechanics are AMAZING. It can very easily get intense. Please, take the time to watch tutorial videos online and practice while learning movesets, and you will enjoy this game. If they manage this game well enough, as well as put effort into making this game great for its playerbase, then it might be the overall top PvP game for the next few years. I see it even being a MLG Tournament game.

    The maps are aesthetically pleasing, as well as practical. You can use the environment to your advantage, which I highly suggest you do. The best way to play this game is to connect with other players and group up in a party so you have good communication going.

    The fight mechanics are simple. You use the right analog stick to change your stance, and you attack from these three stances; up, left, and right, as well as defend from these stances by matching your opponent. There are light and heavy attacks, as well as chain combinations that you can land, some which lead to unblockable attacks that can be dodged. You can also grab and throw, which is "X" on the Xbox One. Each character has a unique moveset, and a specialty. A Warden, for example, is a balanced class that can attack fairly quickly as well as block quickly; while dealing moderate damage. The Lawbringer, however, is a defensive player as well as disabler that relies on blocking and parrying to gain momentum on foes. He is incredibly slow, but has great defense potential and deals good damage. Each character has their specialty definitions by their names, as well as their difficulty in learning them.

    Pay attention to details. If you be patient, and take the time to learn the game, it is AMAZING. Most bad reviews are either about server errors (which will be worked on in the future), or complaints about the battle system. This DOES take skill. If you button mash, you will have a very quick and easy death. People who complain about the battle system are simply not patient enough to learn the movesets, and are not good enough to keep up with competitive players.    … Expand

    The single player campaign is much too short, poorly voice acted, and horribly written. However, the combat was fluid and some of the cinematics were brutally splendid.

However, the combat was fluid and some of the cinematics were brutally splendid.

    Matchmaking is inconsistent and buggy. Peer to peer is certainly less preferable than dedicated servers.

    Character balancing is still an issue. Some are just too relatively weak [at the time of writing this] (Lawbringer) and others a tad too strong (Warden/Valkyrie). I wouldn’t consider any particular character to be outright broken, but tweaks to them here and there (general damage buffs/reductions, making minor changes to combos) might help balance the playing field for the better.

    I think I might enjoy an occasionally larger map in modes like Dominion. Worthwhile combat filler (perhaps boss spawns that drop unique weapons) could help bigger map sizes feel less empty (considering killing small foot soldiers is, in my opinion, fairly unsatisfying).

    The camera can behave awkwardly at times (notable when fighting multiple enemies at once).

    Insta-death environmental kills often don’t look or feel cool and are an unnecessarily cheesy (and pseudo- exploitable) combat tactic. I might not mind them so much if there were fewer maps that had large portions specifically tailored to them.

    In the current design, the ability to flee (especially in Elimination mode) is a bit of a problem. An entire team of four chasing after a single enemy continuously sprinting to various buffs in a futile attempt to revive their only non-executed comrade only to get cornered and die 2 minutes later simply feels like a waste of time. Strategically guarding bodies or stealthily reviving a teammate for an epic comeback is one thing, but that window of opportunity should be lowered in my opinion.

    The A.I. is all too frequently laughably useless.

    The U.I. (particularly in the menus) is a bit visually eclectic.

    The sounds, and in particular the soundtrack (i.e. the constant tribal drumbeat), are a bit underwhelming. Echoing battle cries, epic death screams, minion grunts, and the ambient sound of war could be amped up.

    Graphics are solid with minor fps hiccups here and there, though nothing too captivating aesthetically.

    Character customization is sweet (though a few other fighting games go even more in-depth in that regard).

    Not a fan of the “steel” micro transaction system (chiefly considering gear stats).

    There is a decently high skill ceiling already (which is absolutely fantastic), and it strongly determines the outcome of a match. However, it is still a bit lower compared to many other popular fighting games.

    For all intents and purposes, this game plays like a fighting game within a relatively larger arena alongside trivial background noise (i.e. borderline meaningless infantry battles). Allowing for players to gang up on one another is intended to be balanced by the “revenge” mechanic (and pulling out a win as the underdog in those situations feels great), but that and the fairly unique combat system itself are not quite compelling enough features to really make this game stand out overall compared to other mainstream fighting games. In fact, compared to those games, the lack of maps, modes, unique aesthetic, and characters makes me wonder if the bits that are supposed to make this game exceptional are really worth the AAA price. Coupled with the issues I noted earlier, they just aren’t enough (unless someone is a real diehard fan of both fighting and medieval games). I do think this game has potential to be good, but, as of right now, not much else.    … Expand

    2nd is a constant internet connection, we live in an age of technology so don't give it a fkn 0 just because you have **** internet. It's written on the front cover, Game Stop / EB games are obligated to tell you about it so don't have a whinge and get your self a decent ISP.

    3rd is the balancing. It's still early days and I'm sure Ubisoft will release updates to tweak some heroes but so far I found it to be OK. I get the odd messages as I use the Viking Raider as my main and they b i t c h about me pushing them off the cliff. Here's a tip, don't hang around a bridge edge when fighting a Raider, you're gonna have a bad time. P.S Git Gud. There are heroes to counter heroes, button mashers can go home and stick to Dynasty Warriors because you'll get totally wrecked in this game.

    Can't wait for the DLC to come, think I'll wait til that Season pass drops for me to purchase (if they) do as I heard they will be releasing 6 more heroes. Only good things ahead and improvements as well. Go team Viking!!    … Expand

    Ubi, where you just trying your best to annoy players, when you designed this ****

    for the rest: good graphics and gameplay can be fun,but it's p2w. progression is way way way way too slow and frustrating. ui design is terrible,navigating the menus is slow and clunky. annoying off-center camera, why the hell isn't there a centered camera? loot boxes are best opened at high levels,so you're wasting them or just waiting a very long time before opening them,making the progress super unrewarding and boring. there's no sense of progression, it's one of the most unrewarding games i've ever played. so much wasted potential.    … Expand

The game is not a hack and slash and it is not a button masher, so if you approach this game in that light then you probably are the person giving it a low rating because you never learned how to play the game properly and frankly you suck at it most likely due to your inability to learn. That is the one thing this game requires, a steep learning curve. Once you get how to play and adapt to it, I would say this is the best dueling sword game since jedi academy two generations ago. Lastly there are other modes which is 4v4 multiplayer and dominion multiplayer which is like dynasty warriors mixed with 4v4 multiplayer and capture the flag. The multiplayer experience is why you buy this game. I have played the single player and it is good. Reminds me of RYSE a little bit. It has a solid campaign and it is enjoyable, but the campaign isnt on the level of other single player campaigns. Some parts are of the campaign are phenomonel, but most i would say I would rate above average and very good. So for campaign I would give it an 8, but for multiplayer I would give it a 10++. All in all the developers did a great job. It is the most unique experience I have seen in a long time. I will see you all next time we cross swords! :-)… Expand

    I am loving For Honor, It punishes over aggressiveness and careless spam attacking. The skill cap increases every day as the player base gets more attuned to the combat system. I had some problems with Open NAT in beta where i was constantly kicked matches, Since the official release i have not been kicked and still have a type 3. For Honor is a great time

    The map is pretty small is because its 4 vs 4..if its 32 vs 32 like BF1 then we can have bigger map..i think its pretty reasonable..plus its hard to chase fast runners like peacekeeper..so small map will balance the game pretty well..and also the seasonal climate variation in the maps is brilliant..i cant wait for next update when they add more maps & character

    LEARN THE GAME folks..no more button mashing & frankly theres no combo in this game..the only combo you will get is by throwing your opponent against the wall,that is sure hit..so be prepare all the time..theres always a chance your opponent will parry or dodge your attacks

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. I don't think that the game has a large enough casual players base, and see the casual player base shrinking as players become better. I hope the future ranking system will fix this, and ladders if done well can easily sustain a game.… Expand

    For Honor (in my opinion) masters the art of Sword fighting. Every kill must be fought for. Must be earned.

    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.

    The complains about microtransactions are childish squeems from kids who dont have jobs. If you have time to grind like ever other game, then yes, you get everything. If your a busy person and would'nt mind spendng a few dollars beacuse you have a family and wife, then you win, ubisoft wins.
    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.

    I made an account and this review to rebuttle some of the childish 0's on this board. The game is easily my favorite game of the year, and easily my favorite fighting game and online game on ps4.

    I suggest everyone pics up the game, and play it.

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

    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.
