    Awful, terribly awful. I am highly agitated I spent $20 on this game because it is a hot piece of garbage. I contacted XBOX to get a refund, and that is not going to happen, so unless you are just some die hard medieval fan, you will hate this game. Game play is sloppy and choppy. I can deal with cheese graphics if the game play is fine, but my goodness, it is a disaster. I cannot rememberAwful, terribly awful.

    Somehow, the developers managed to NOT fix the bugs and glitches in the PC game and now console players have to deal with it ALSO.

    At least console players dont get the ''fun'' of dealing of people using mouse macro's and high mouse sensitivity bodydragging to create attacks you cant actually see on speeds that are unworldly.

    Very disappointing game.

    This game is 20 dollars and have offered me more fun than most triple A games this year i have played! The combat system is pretty deep and tactical when you get a hang of how it works. There are some bugs and glitches though. Team killing is also a problem. Other than that it is amazing!

    This game is one whose strength stems from the fun of the game - it provides so much enjoyment, it rivals some certain triple a games in this regard.

    The mains problems would be graphics (I would rate it a tad worse than the last gen console version of skyrim) look a little bit poorly because other games such as the witcher 3 look so real, when a game like this comes along, a small step down, it is something you will notice at first. Friendly fire is also on, so you might get hit by teammates who are swinging and just hoping to hit an enemy.

    The combat is superb, but this does depend on a good ping. There is nothing like getting into an intense, frenetic duel in the middle of a huge battle, only for it to end with someone losing a limb! The various objective modes are very fun. This game is just a big bucket of enjoyment. Every mode is entertaining, and combat is well balanced, with skill being the number one factor in every fight. Some classes are easier to play than others (yes, I'm looking at you vanguard!) and other require more time to master (good luck with the archer!).

    This is definitely worth the €20, as you will have a tonne of fun. Just bear in mind, the graphics are nowhere near a next gen triple a title.    … Expand

    Chivalry is a great game... on the PC. On the Xbox One there is an insane and inexcusable amount of glitches and issues. These issues include horrible hit detection, everyone in a server having high ping (80+), and not very great visuals and performance.

If you are going to release a game on a console and expect people to pay for it when it is extremely broken, then you better expect negative reviews, angry consumers, and even possibly refunds. If you Developers want to be respectable and reliable to a gaming community, you should make sure your game delivers the experience it promises. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this on consoles until the developers stop being lazy.… Expand

    A change of pace from the running and gunning games, though with slight blemishes in the armor.

    Hindered by generic looks, technical issues and a hit detection that could barely flail its way out of a paper bag. Perhaps there's a reason we've moved on from medieval times. [Feb 2016, p.84]

    Although the game has some technical hiccups, the game is too fun and addictive to pass up.
