If you can ignore the glaring connectivity issues, there is strength in For Honor’s arms. It’s multi-layered combat is its biggest selling point, which demands patience, wit, and intelligence to excel. Its moments of failures and successes resulting from it are some of the best I have had, but I only wish that they come in more often and consistently. Not everything works for For Honor, but there is tremendous potential. Right now, at launch, For Honor is a game envisioned by its developers. Now it’s up to the community to mold it into something of their own.

Despite its few rather minor flaws, For Honor provides a new experience for both experienced gamers and those new to the genre. With exceptional graphics and mostly-superior audio quality wedded to an immersive and dynamic gameplay experience, Ubisoft Montreal’s recent fighting game with hack-and-slash elements grants hours of addictive virtual warfare. Whether looking to sit back and relax with a few friends or play it solo, For Honor is a bloody and thrilling addition to Ubisoft’s repertoire.

For Honor is an impressive fighting game with lots of moving parts that help to create an incredibly rich multiplayer fighting game which came to me as a huge surprise in that had me playing multiplayer way longer than I normally bother.

For Honor developed from a promising concept to a sloppy execution in the final version. The Story misses some depth and it's still questionable if the game offers some long-term motivation in the Multiplayer-Part.

Yes, Ubisoft did it again. Another brand new IP that is good enough to hopefully find a big enough audience. You have to respect the publisher for bringing so many brand new experiences, something that other big publishers fail to do. For Honor redefines the hack and slash genre with a tactical combat system and addictive online play.

I won’t lie, I died a lot in For Honor. But in death, I learned how to become a better player. For Honor‘s battle system rewards those that take the time to learn it’s nuances and punishes those that don’t.

For Honor is an excellent multiplayer fighting title held back by poor matchmaking and annoying connection issues. Gamers willing to look past these problems will discover one of the best multiplayer experiences of this generation but less patient players may be discouraged by the title’s technical issues.

Overall, For Honor is a unique multiplayer experience that brings the art of intimate combat mixed in with the fan faction of your favorite warriors clashing to the death. Ubisoft has another great title under its belt that has a long life ahead of it...

The game as it stands is not worth the money or frustration of sitting in a matchmaking queue again and again and again, only to have error messages pop up.

When everything lines up, For Honor is a brutal and rewarding game that makes you feel like an unstoppable warrior. One of the most fun games I've played and will continue playing.

Although the combat is extremely enjoyable, For Honor lacks focus and tends to rely on giving players too much advantage in most type of matches instead of a proper learning curve.

For Honor is a game that I am not even close to finishing with. Its campaign is big enough to not feel tacked on, but the draw of the multiplayer action keeps dragging me away from finishing it. I can feel my skills improving after every round because it’s a new way to play against other players and that deserves highlighting in a highly saturated section of the market.

In typical Ubisoft fashion, For Honor has received some significant hype over the past year or so. Set in a fictional world full of strife and chaos, choose your Hero from the noble Samurai, the relentless Vikings, or the bloodthirsty Knights and represent your faction in a war for dominance. Whether you are in the captivatingly beautiful wilderness or the majestic ruins of civilization, your Hero will stand as a bulwark against the oncoming threat of annihilation. With an interesting twist on the action-fighting platform, For Honor uses an innovative control system called "The Art of Battle" that provides full control over your choice of one of twelve heroes. Stab, parry, and block your way through the fight control. For all of the interesting new fight mechanics, focus on faction-specific persistent PVP world, For Honor is both new and exciting while feeling, at times, incredibly frustrating and empty.
