It’s times like that when For Honor stops being a third-person hack and slash and starts to feel like a fighting game. The same happens when you are on the offensive.
The defenses consist of different stances, and you successfully block an attack if you guess which stance they are attacking from and counter properly. Your enemies have the same attacks and defenses, and the goal is to guess what attacks your enemy performs so you can defend properly, while you unleash attacks that get past their defenses. When you are in combat, you have an array of attacks and defenses you can unleash on your enemies. Part of it is because of For Honor’s combat system. I stuck to my guns and was actually able to hold off my opponents and win the match for my side. In one instance, I was the only one left, and it was 1v4. It’s not easy to describe how adrenaline-pumping it is to play 4v4 and trying to hold off multiple enemies at one time. You pick a faction and head off in 1v1 and 2v2 skirmishes, as well as 4v4 battles where players try to control areas of a battlefield. It’s in multiplayer where the game’s strengths really show. It’s a good way to train you for the madness that is multiplayer. During the campaign, you assume the roles of each faction’s heroes and progress through a story that allows you to become familiar with each faction’s strengths and weaknesses. The game’s campaign may seem like a bore, but it’s actually pretty engrossing. The story is not as important as the goal: skewer your enemies, whatever faction they’re in! These three factions are locked in an eternal struggle, because reasons. She lusts for perpetual war between her knights, the Vikings of Valkenheim, and the samurai of the Dawn Empire. However, her plans lay beyond the control of the knights.
In the land of Ashfeld, the warlord Apollyon is in control of the knights of the Blackstone Legion. The game’s campaign story is nothing more than window dressing, but I’ll take it. The attacks, counters, and blocks give the game a Street Fighter feel but in a new light. But the strategy involved feels more like Street Fighter V than anything else. As you go about the game, either in campaign mode or in multiplayer, you fight other characters in a one-on-one duel that looks like Bloodborne or Dark Souls in its combat. To me, For Honor is a fighting game that’s disguised as a third-person combat game. For Honor is a great game that’s screwed by Ubisoft’s stupidity.įirst I have to talk about the game itself. I had to write about this game because I need to let out my frustrations about a game that I love.
