    The multiplayer action of Chivalry 2 has depth, replayability and, most importantly, it's fun. Torn Banner Studios have built upon the success of the original to create a game that could have a lasting impact on the gaming landscape. However, there is a distinct lack of variety in other modes and many key features are missing in regards to quality of life and accessibility. Modern multiplayer games are an everchanging experience, regular support and updates is a promise that the developers need to keep. Perhaps in a few months, the game will be in a better state with the inclusion of new modes, added customization and a greater parity between platforms.

    Chivalry 2 improves upon the original release by a good margin, but it still needs to work out some bugs and kinks. For those looking for some medieval madness, it might be best to wait for some more patches before diving in.

    Genuinely not sure how there are "critics" rating this as a 9 or a 10. So it's as good as Zelda, or Witcher 3, or God of War, is it? This gameGenuinely not sure how there are "critics" rating this as a 9 or a 10. So it's as good as Zelda, or Witcher 3, or God of War, is it? This game is average. I commend it for being different. However, after a few hours of the same thing, the experience quickly becomes stale. There is no ranked matchmaking meaning that new players are thrown in with experienced players and this can be off-putting. The mechanic of 'swinging your waist' with the R-stick just doesn't work for me. But my most significant criticism is the fact that you always end up causing more damage to your own players than to the enemy. You're swinging a long axe in a semi-circle, in a crowded group of players, and whoever gets hit, gets hit. It's utter chaos. I appreciate the game is supposed to be light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek, but this just reduces the skills element. There are rarely any tense, one-on-one fights and there is always somebody in the way of your intended target. I got it for free on PS Plus, so won't complain too much. But I wouldn't recommend buying this for any amount of money. Worth a couple of hours of mindless fun, but it's not something that will have players coming back for years to come.… Full Review »

    For Honor
    Chivalry 2 Is great
    is it for me? No, I got bored of it fairly quickly.. but for those really into hand to hand combat nd roll playing, this game is great.
    Chivalry 2 is basically for honor except just knights… you choose red team or blue team and then youre off into a 64 player or 40 player battle for control over a castle.. youll be defending or attacking, using on of 4 different classes, all with their own special perks, such as the knight being able to heal your team, or the archer being able to shoot fire arrows… I had a blast for my first couple hours of this game…
    The combat here is very deep like that of for honnor, so if you dont like for honor, youre not gonna like this game.. .. its not very casual friendly.. you have to learn how to block and parry, time your attcks… this is a game that demands you master it to have any amount of fun…
    to be able to pick off other players as they surround you like sharks.. this is where Chivalry shines and youll be getting most of your enjoyment from.. testing yourself.
    My biggest complaint with Chivalry is that I feel like there is no rhyme or reason to anything.. no team strategy.. it really does just feel like run into battle and kill everyone while trying not to get killed, defend these positions or take these positons before time runs out… I did enjoy doing goofy bttle cries, running right to my death, but this joy wore off on me pretty quickly..
    Where Chivalry 2 got some of my joy back was in its free for all mode.. I felt like a god among knights in this mode, just slicing through everyone like warm butter as we all raced to be the first to 35 kills in an arena.. at least that’s what the game says.. but the matches definitely go beyong the first to 35…
    Overal Chivalry 2 cant quite get its hooks in me the way for Honor did… maybe the lack of modes… the lack of feeling like im doing anyything to contribute to my teams victories or losses…
    But I can appreciate the care put into this game and I can see the role players out there losing months to this game.
    I give Chivalry 2
    a 7.5/10    … Full Review »
