For Honor (2017 Video Game) User Reviews

Not good.

[Analog_Devotee · 3/10 · 3 August 2021]

A beautiful game which is plagued with clunky combat. What a disappointment this one was... Glad I only rented it.

The most addictive and BEST medieval game!

[jprice-38253 · 10/10 · 23 September 2021]

Been playing For Honor for almost 3 years now and the game really honestly has come a long way with so much being added and STILL stuff being added. From 30 different playable characters, of all different classes of Knights, Vikings, Samurai, Chinese Wu Lin, each character with hundreds of different outfits, armor, executions, emotes, hair, helmet, weapons, special effect moves, awesome battle passes, rewards, an Arcade mode to win exclusive rewards, 1v1 duel, 2v2 duel, 4v4 Battle, 4v4 Deathmatch, 4v4 Breach, AND a great campaign, For Honor is no doubt of what I think is one of the best medieval games made of all time....if you're someone that's reading this right now and wondering if you should get the game or not, JUST GET THE GAME! You won't regret it :)

I wish I could give this 1 star a 100 times

While the idea was nice, this game is fundamentally unfair. Half the game is loaded with cheaters and they get away with it. A game only doesn't count as a loss if you leave if all your teammates left, while it's a guaranteed loss after 2 leave (and even more definite if opponents cheat). Ubisoft should REALLY get on top of this cheating problem, it ruins the game, which already had a super toxic fanbase to begin with. The characters and rules for revenge are incredibly unbalanced and thus unfair. If playing this game fills you with rage and gives you high blood pressure, bless your heart. You're one of the few players with "honor"

Good Game, still has its problems

I have been playing For honor since the open beta. after that point it has consistently been one of my favorite games of the year. The main reason why it is so fun to play is the fact that is so rewarding to do well in online matches. There is a great amount of customization with many colors, Paint types, and ornaments. tough the game requires a learning curb it is really amusing to play and with friends the game is amazing. I firmly believe that this is a great game for people who like fighting games due to the combos and chains. there are three main factions to choose from The Knights of Ashfeld, The Vikings of Valkenheim, and the Samurai of The Myre. one major problem with the game is balance. many characters aren't as strong as others, however it is my belief that ever character can kill any other character.

The good and the BAAAD!

Lets start of with the good: 1. Still got good visuals 2. It is unique. It stands out (like a foul smelling rotting skunk carcass on the floor of your living room) 3. It's cheap (Like that second hand pair of used underpants that are for some reason yellow and crusted)

Now the bad: 1. It is horribly unbalanced 2. The learning curve is a 90% wall stretching into the heavens 3. The light spam is toxic and it makes the new players run away faster than a fat kid from a salad 4. It's repetitive and has only a few game modes that are basically the same 5. Small player base (Check 2. And 3.) 6. No middle ground. You either invest a frustrating few months into this game to get all the millisecond reactions and reads, or act like a punching bag to toxic emote spamming kids 7. Did I mention light spam?

Conclusion: Find something less frustrating and more rewarding to do.

11+

This game is very mild for a title with the "M" rating. Sure, it has blood, but it can be turned off. The main concern to parents are the assassinations. Although they are optional, they can be pretty intense. One features a samurai decapitating they opponent. Keep in mind though, that you have to be trying during the fight to get an assassination. If your kid plays Sky rim, Dark Souls, or any first person shooter, than this should be fine. In the campaign, there is problem solving and no objectives located on the map, so you have to figure this out yourself. The multiplayer is more strategy than problem solving. Over all I think this game is for fairly mature 11 year old people and up.

Great game, only a couple issues.

[michaellesak · 9/10 · 24 February 2017]

Great game! Campaign is awesome, story may be a little bland but it teaches you how to fight pretty well with increasingly harder AIs. Then, when you complete it, you should have no problem transferring to multiplayer. The faction system for multiplayer is interesting, and I like how you can still be a Viking or samurai class, even if you joined the Knights. A couple issues: 1) I was playing a 4v4 dominion match, but only 5 players were in my session. The system created a full team of 4 and put me in a team by myself with 3 AIs. The AIs then proceeded to get 1, 2, and 0 kills. I myself got 8. This was kinda cheap since my team got destroyed. If there need to be AIs, match them fairly, and make them better to. Obviously humans can beat AIs most of the time, but I know the bots can be better. 2) when there are only 2 people in a 4v4 match, instead of quitting and transferring us back to the title screen, just leave the timer on for another minute and allow players to join. 3) there are still a couple of buggy issues. Despite all these, I seriously think it is a great game, and the first in a long time to get a multiplayer fighting game right, since it institutes a new dueling/lock-on system that is really good. I would definitely recommend.

Okay for 11 year olds to play

[peterziegler-46443 · 10/10 · 25 February 2017]

The game is rated m for mature but I would say is okay do eleven and up. There is executions but they don't depict very much. There is also not a lot of blood. I have watch my son play the game and I actually think it is an awesome game. The game is just wonderful and delightful. It is no worse then the knife combat in battle field one.

Greatest video game yet

[kristerkentsimonsson · 10/10 · 25 October 2021]

I like everything great content, events, heroes, seasons, maps, user interface & gameplay.

The hero customisation exceptionally.

You can get nearly everything with steel. (Except; Marching fire, steel packs & the battle pass) Everything else is available for free, if you put in the time and effort by playing the game.

I highly recommend For Honor it's a very good experience. Have fun on your journey warrior!
