    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.

    The story was ok but the combat is quick to learn hard to master concept. The amount of times getting my butt kicked from the AI because the mechanics were hard for me to remember and time the right way. Also the graphics I swear there are times whenever there's close ups to the character faces, I see Ps1 polygons.

    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

    This game is good, but not great. Game play, while there is a long learning curve, is fun once you get the hang of it. But, that's about it, the story is good, but too long and too boring, There is no way i'm doling all 3 fighters, this game is just repetitive, and not much changes. Overall, it's decent.

    Good:
    The game play is unique and its a one of a kind, as a rep 440 i just love this game.

    Grafic is amazing.

    Level design is awesome.

    Many thing to chose: Duel/brawl, Dominion, Trubute ,DM and the new breach.

    Many new heros to chose now.

    And playing with BOTS without them the game would have died long ago.

    Mixted:
    Hard to find a match :( special in DM.

    Elimination and skirmice is not separately so you are force to vote on Elim or skir, and Elim players dont like Skir and Skir player dont like Elim.

    Long Loading time per match.

    Arcade is way to hard and the bots have ninje reflexes, and with no "normal diffeculty menu" like every other fighting game has they use the armor rating which is useless.

    Bad:
    For Honor have the most toxic and retarded player base ever, i stop playing pvp back in 2017 and just focus on pvAI and lately i just play pvAI without machmaking as some players who play pvAI are just as retarded as the pvp community.

    To many "get gud" tard in this game which is not good ad all, they only fragsteal and gangbang.

    After the lates patch bots can seams to focus on one player and they keep switch between players, and if you run into to enemy bots or more fighting a teammate bot, those enemy bots forgets your team mate bot and both/ or more will fight you and not your team mate bot. Which its kind of lame your team mate bot can beat the **** out of them from behind becaus they are bugt and only focus on you.

    Server crashes sometime.

    cheap steel from playing matches way to greedy, every thing cost way more then its worth to unlock.

    micro transactions should be disable only greedy retard inplant **** like this.

    The loot system. RNG. And events is stupid and take for ever to get.

    Upgade armor and weapons cost steel.

    Some event is only pvp which is stupid when you have pvAI

    Some heroes is way to op.

    Most bots have 360 degree defence reflex special the retarded Corona faction China.

    request:
    Remove micro transactions.

    change loot system to get better loot or play like 200 steel to unlock armor and weapons parts Upgade armor and weapons should only cost materials NOT STEEL.    … Expand

Almost every mechanic in this game doesnt function properly, it has bugs manifesting everywhere but ofc the devs only focus on how to milk more money of you instead of fixing the game breaking glitches.
    They continue to overpower characters which benefit them with money and neglect balance.
    The games mechanics are a joke with every patch they fix a visual glitch which nobody cared about while the game is rotting from the inside.
    This game frustrate me so much i have never been so emotional about a game while hating it so badly, even if you win you are not satisfied and you feel its cluncky and bad.
    Characters which deserve attention dont get it while the devs take in consideration the very god damn least requested thing and doing exactly the opposite of what the community wants.
    Its filled with soooooo many toxic players whicu try to get the devil out of you.
    A game which specifically requires a millisecond of reaction is running on 30fps on consoles making the animations half smooth, in addition of letting players with a stable ping above 100 to remain in the game.
    It takes me on average 10 minutes to find a server of 7 players in totall (me being the 8) and thats for the most popular game mode in the game (dominion) and my nat is always open, internet always good so connectivity is never an issue for me.
    If anybody is even reading this i am a totall rep 124 and i dislike this game in every way.
    And i am gonna avoid talking about the super crappy launch state it was at the beginning with p2p servers and getting kicked 7 out of 10 games.    … Expand

    There is very little balance and heros who can non stop spam attacks and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Just die. The toxicity in this game is an afterthought considering there are a lot of ways to grief players. This hack and slash button mash had a lot more potential then this. Ubisoft gas ruined yet another great looking game

    For honor definitely deserves better than a six where its average is but no more than a seven. When I first played for honor, I was ready to give this game a 9 or even 10 out of ten.

When I first played for honor, I was ready to give this game a 9 or even 10 out of ten. However, after all the serious server issues and the fact that you get kicked from games quite often and most frequently, its right when the round is literally ending, and lose all the rewards you fought hard for. They also created a game called for honor where too many players can play completely dishonorably. With stuns, throws, unblockable attacks and just overpowered characters, it can make the game very hostile for new players. Certain characters, particularly the warden, can get into chains of unstoppable attack that basically ruin the fun of the game. However, when your fighting fair and once you have managed to master some of the more complex abilities like actually using the more complex maneuvers, parrying and strategically using revenge mode to turn the tables you have a game where you actually can fight more than one player and there is a lot of skill involved in it. And IMO, the level of skill required dictates how rewarding a game is once you have succeeded. Trust me, I have played 4 vs. 4 games where you barely pull off killing 3 or even 4 players alone on many occasions and it makes you feel on top of the world once you succeed at this. There is something very different and unique about for honor and while it has managed to disappoint for many other reasons, I would still hope for Ubisoft to finally pull their head out of their butt and fix some of the major server issues that still exists to this day. I swear sometimes I still get kicked when some crybaby on the enemy team rage quits and this makes it very hard to continue playing and loving this game. Its such a entertaining form of combat that holds your attention and when you succeed, you will feel a sense of accomplishment you get from very few games. Everything combat based is fine with me; the things that bring this game down are the problems stated above.… 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.

    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

    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.
