    While the game is very fresh, well optimized, and all around good, it already is apparent that there is a repetitiveness that could make the game feel stale. An issue I found with the gameplay is that parrying often is only seen with smaller team gamemodes.

An issue I found with the gameplay is that parrying often is only seen with smaller team gamemodes. In the standard gamemodes, you usually are double-teamed and have no chance of blocking a shot so the game basically becomes who can out-number the opponent. The game has no punishment for people who run away, and it is nearly impossible to catch up and finish them off. There also can be some clunkiness with finding where certain customization options are and what special abilities and moves actually do. The game is still overall fun and a challenging time, and I recommend it to all people who enjoy strategy and sword fighting.… Expand

    This Game is amazing however it's definitely not for everyone. 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.

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

    Good while it lasts
    For Honor is primarily a competitive multiplayer focused hand to hand combat game But does feature a 6 1/2 hr. long campaign, 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    For Honor
    Good while it lasts
    For Honor is primarily a competitive multiplayer focused hand to hand combat game
    But does feature a 6 1/2 hr. long campaign,
    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…
    I give For Honor

    Some flaws include players running away from a battle being an effective strategy, a very limited number of classes (3) and levels, and not all that much difference in the fighting styles of the different characters.

    It offers a simple base mechanic, locking on an enemy and camera controls for left, right, and up attack or block, you can guard break, grab, dodge and roll and parry.

    The difficulty lies in mastering the classes, each has their own buffs and abillities, the raider is an all round slow attacker, but has a lot of stuns and guard breaks abillities. The orochi can't block indefinitely but has a times block for counter abillities. So 3 factions, 4 classes allow for a lot of diversity in terms of balance, but the game handles this really well, learn your class abd you can stand against any other class.

    There are 5 multiplayer modes and a story mode, story is a nice addition and all in all it works. MP is the true star of this game.

    there is duel 1v1, brawl 2v2, Deathmatch 4v4 and Domion 4v4 the main course of this title.

    Dominion is a moba based mode where you hold control points to score points at a 1000 points the enemy team breaks and you have to finish them off.

    Then there is the faction war, select one of three factions, Vikings, Samurai and Knights. Playing modes gives you war assets an you can conquer territories for your faction this way. A round lasts 14 days and is updated every 5 hours for 6 rounds in total.

    All in all For Honor is one of the most refreshing titles in years and I definitely recommend even though it has very steep learning curve.    … Expand

    Отрицательные стороны:
    -Дорогая игра
    -Отсутствие масштабных сражений
    -Нету комадных заданий
    -Командные режимы включают в себя уничтожение противкиков из 5 ранудов и захват точек.Слишком банально.
    -Незначительные проблемы с нахождением игроков и серверами.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Synopsis]

    Concept: Vikings, knights, and samurai fight for a thousand years in a conflict that nobody really cares too much about because we’re all too busy watching this one guy get his head lopped off and his body lifelessly tumble off a bridge and into some beautifully rendered water.

    Graphics: The environments are varied and textured to an amazing degree. Characters looks great even though they are all strikingly similar up until you’ve leveled enough of your gear to truly make a name for yourself and stand out from the pack. Every environment also features accompanying dynamic weather changes and patterns which look and feel believable and fantastic.

    Sound: Although you’ll mostly hear cries of pain and anguish, metal on metal, and other sounds typically associated with combat or films, the soundtrack is a great, resonant accompaniment as well.

    Playability: Like any good fighting game, For Honor is easy to grasp and difficult to truly master. The mechanics are simple and straight forward, the means to defeating all of your enemies are laid out in front of you, and yet the path towards your objective is sometimes blocked by an incredibly agile samurai warrior who claims your life time and time again.

    Entertainment: For Honor is a semi-flawed experience in that its fun and atmosphere hinge upon a networking system which boasts many prevalent issues at the current time. However, the experience as a visceral fighting game and realistic depiction of combat and battlefield tactics is unparalleled and often well-realized. It is a fun experience if you can handle connectivity issues for the time being.

    Replay Value: High.

    Despite its online functionality flaws, For Honor’s multiplayer is still a strong force to be reckoned with and the single-player is on an epic scale. The in-depth customization of your hero along with the deep fighting mechanics, leaves a lot to unlock and learn for months to come.

    Therefore, I'm a little shocked to see this many bad reviews. Yes, the game can be repetitive after a while, but the many game modes, classes and combat strategies can distract you from that. Graphics, textures and animations are just amazing, and the game runs smoothly, so no problems with that. Combat mechanics have never been done like this before in any game, not even in fighting games, it feels like you're in control all the time, which is exactly how hardcore hack and slash multiplayer games like this should feel.

    Now, onto the negative, campaign is shallow, not terrible, but just not good enough. It's clear that it's been put there just as an add-on since the game is based in it's multiplayer modes. Which leads me to the second major flaw of the game: the community. I feel like people really don't understand how to play this game. Most people just focus on winning and getting the kill rather than enjoying the experience. Just as an example: it is literally impossible to engage in a 1V1 duel in dominion since either your teammates or enemies will rush in to get the takedown count up. This, of course, is not the devs fault but in clearly worsens the game, which is why this is not a 9 or 10/10.

    All in all, it's a good game people. Try to find a party that suits your playstyle, respect the dynamics of the game, play fair and you'll have an amazing time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I like this game a ton. But. The one reason i don’t give it 10 is due to the really long tutorial. I think they should’ve just put it into one part not 5 separate parts that can take an hour if your not great at the game… Expand

    I thoroughly enjoy this game. It's a unique system you can't really get in many other games. The art and character design is amazing, the mechanics are simple to learn yet difficult to master, and I'm a sucker for customizing my characters visuals.

It's a unique system you can't really get in many other games. The art and character design is amazing, the mechanics are simple to learn yet difficult to master, and I'm a sucker for customizing my characters visuals. The game feels faster paced with snappier responses than other midieval battlefield games like Mordhau or Chivalry without being a mindless hack and slasher, but they really can't be compared. I've heard this game described as a realistic midieval combat game and it's not, kinda far from, it's a fantasy game that doesn't stray too far from reality. I won't lie though, it does have its pitfalls. Single player is a minor one, but if your looking for a single player game alone I do not recommend this game. My main concern comes with the skill cap and community. I've been playing this game since day one and have been addicted ever since, but when I try to bring some friends into it with me I notice that the toxic competitive behavior isn't restricted to my reputation (level). It is very frustrating for new players to get into this game, the difference between a veteran player and a fairly new players is just too large, and a lot of your veteran allies here do not seem to have too much patience for the inexperienced and your veteran enemies will more than likely gloat and taunt you. As much as I want whoever's considering this game to join us, I can't deny the frustration of being stuck with the die-hards.

    If one of your concerns is the P2P servers, I'd like to point out that those reviews are old and Ubisoft finally gave us dedicated servers.    … Expand

    Great game for hack´n´slash fans who like a challenge. Even the story mode surprised me! Overall rating: 7.9.

    One of the best medieval PvP meele fighting games with cool heroes and a unique and unrivaled fighting system. Still a lot of support from the devs who also listen to what the community wants. Of course a lot of customization is possible, with stuff still being added.

    Very addictive game! If you enjoy medieval battles, swords and castles, you will have lots of fun. It could be a bit harder to learn how to play it but once you get it, you will have an unique and endless fighting game in your library.

    The bad reviews literally make no sense. The game is not pay to win and doesn’t rely on micro transactions. That only accounts for the customization. Even with that, it’s just that you people just haven’t taken the time to grind and actually enjoy the game for what it is.

    For Honor is a good game with good graphics, however the community could be a lot better, especially with these bad reviews. What I do have a problem with is crossplay. Crossplay makes the game completely unbalanced for us console users. PC players who run at more frames than us have a clear advantage. Other than this, the game is pretty good and you should definitely give it a try.

    The people that are complaining are just not good, don’t have good taste, think the game is “too easy” (which is totally not the case since you have to adapt to other people’s play styles), or have been harassed by the community into oblivion.    … Expand

    It’s a frustrating reality, but one Ubisoft is already working diligently on a fix for. Like Siege, For Honor is in the beginning stages of becoming something truly unique and brilliant. If you’ve ever struggled to get into fighting games, are eager for a new multiplayer game to try your hand at, or are simply interested in what happens when Ubisoft diverts its resources out of populating open worlds with content and into an experience that thrives because of its nuanced design, then try For Honor – you won’t regret it.

    Fun in furious bursts, Ubisoft's scrapper is simply too one-note to honour its potential. [April 2017, p.86]

    A unique multiplayer experience in spite of its flaws.
