For Honor Reviews
It’s a silly phrase to say because it doesn’t make much sense, but I really was hoping to like For Honor more than I actually did. Everything leading up to the release of the game looked very promising, but after seeing it firsthand and spending time with it, I found myself a lot more bored than I anticipated. The single player experience is basically non-existent, with the campaign being finished in a mere couple hours. Multiplayer is the meat and potatoes, and if that just isn’t your thing, I’d recommend holding off on it for now. But, if the thrill of one on one duels and the nature of the combat sound appealing, you’ll find more than enough to satisfy here.
For Honor is completely unlike anything else on the market due, primarily, to its deep combat. Players can easily sink hundreds of hours into the game with so many customization options for twelve different classes. The weak campaign and one-sided Deathmatch battles are, thankfully, not a killing blow.
For Honor is a game that requires a lot of practice and patience. But those willing to invest the time and dedication the game requires will find one of the best multiplayer games of the year.

For Honor is a triumph in bringing a new action brawler to gamers. Ubisoft should be commended for their willingness to try out a new potential IP and succeeding in doing so. For Honor's gameplay mechanics work incredibly well and although easy to pick up, will take much more effort to master. Further to that, the endearing and moreish multiplayer is also a success, despite its rough edges. The story is endearing and fleshed out through a good use of collectibles. It is also an absolute pleasure to look at. To arms!!!
For Honor's tactical brawling system shines through a thick layer of microtransactions and filler material.

Ubisoft’s For Honor is an enjoyable, visually stunning and gritty experience that might be a bit too original for its own good. Being such a niche genre might push away your normal players, and the singleplayer part might not be enough for someone to cough up $60. Nevertheless, with the right community management, a steady flow of updates, balancing and a ranked mode coming, it could become something great, like what happened with Rainbow Six Siege, 6 month after its launch. Who knows? But for now, give this title a chance as it’s a good one.
In conclusion multiplayer at its core is good but some serious overhauls are needed to be made, especially in regards to the Faction war, matchmaking and game modes. The story aspect of the game is fantastic, it is both engaging and fun to play, with lots of colourful characters to meet along the way.
As a child, I always grew up fantasizing about massive battles with knights or vikings, heck even samurais so when I first saw For Honor back at the Ubisoft E3 conference it felt like my dreams were coming true. Ubisoft Montreal was crafting a game that I used to imagine as a child when I was playing with my action figures growing up.
All in all For Honor delivers a very fun and rewarding but also challenging multiplayer experience.
I truly love the underlying combat mechanics, but what really lets For Honor down is its gear system, which can grant players enormous benefits on the battlefield (especially those willing to spend cash on microtransactions). A subpar matchmaking system in these gear-enabled modes doesn’t help.
Despite its blemishes, For Honor definitely boasts the most visceral multiplayer experience we’ve seen in a long time as its set to be a trailblazer in the realm of competitive gaming if Ubisoft wants it to be.
In conclusion "the best title ever forged by Ubisoft"

For Honor has crafted itself a really cool niche in the competitive space that few currently occupy, and provided the game continues to run as it has been online, that the game gets continued support from Ubisoft, then you can be sure we'll be hearing much more about the game and the franchise in the weeks, months and perhaps even years to come.
For Honor is a brilliant new hybrid fighting game that's only issue is connecting to servers.
There are lots of bad things that can be said for Ubisoft's newest idea, with the most annoying one being its poor single-player portion. For those looking for the best medieval-themed PvP melee fighting game, however, it just can't get any better than this. For Honor is not flawless, but it's the current King of the Hill.
For Honor offers a unique online multiplayer experience with its fights that remains unmatched in the current gaming landscape.
For Honor has quickly become my favourite online multiplayer game, and one that I’m certain will have me honing my skills, and my blade, for months to come.
For Honor is enjoyable enough, but it feels more like a proof of concept than anything else. The core combat system is interesting, but everything built around it is awkward. When you're in the middle of a dramatic duel against another foe of the same skill level, the game shines. Anything beyond that, and the seams begin to show. It's a game that demands a high skill level for fun and success, and that can be enough to turn off someone. The game is also pretty light on content for the $60 price tag. If you've played the beta and enjoyed For Honor, you'll have a good time, but others may want to find a way to try it out before committing to a full purchase.
For Honor delivers accurate and unique gameplay, unlimited upgrade options for every character, variety in levels design and a multiplayer mode that depends on cooperation with teammates more than playing solo. However, the game suffers from a weak and disappointing story mode, overpowered abilities that some characters have, limited game modes, pay-to-win microtransactions, and various connection issues.

A unique experience and very different from anything that Ubisoft had ever produced. It is most certainly a welcomed change of pace.
