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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    Okay, let me just start off by saying, it is actually an 9 out of ten for me. I put 01 because I felt like it deserved more credit as a game, than it is getting. This is a far from perfect game, but is one of the most fun games I've ever played. I quit it back in Season 4 and came back 2 days ago, but honestly, I am already bored.

    I got this with GWG and, as I see it is a main concern in the reviews here, I must say P2P has been fixed and it now works with dedicated servers, since I haven't had a single problem with connectivity (and my internet connection it's not what you can call "fast").

    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

    For Honor es un juego que si bien tiene una campaña relativamente corta, tiene un buen juego multiplayer, con muchos y variados eventos de parte de Ubisoft que convierten al juego en algo que no se torna monótono y te atrapa. Luego de Assassin's Creed el mejor juego a mi parecer

    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.

    Besides connectivity problems, this game is awesome and will be next Ubisoft e-sport.
    The combat is amazing and the classes are wide and balanced. This game will follow R6: Siege style, with constant updates, bug fixes and class balancing.

    My only concern is P2P issues every once in a while, making it hard to play games occasionally and the campaign being a glorified tutorial with just enough to make you wanna finish it.

    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.

    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..

    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
    an 8/10    … 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.
