- At its core, For Honor is a smart multiplayer game, one of the best multiplayer games to focus on melee combat, and loads of fun in its own right. But its issues are hard to ignore. For Honor has big production values and great combat, but a myriad of issues - server stability being chief among them - prevent it from being a classic.
Dave Aubrey · Mar 10, 2017 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1Read full review - For Honor brings many new things to the table, its combat most of all. I have no doubt that this is something that other games will try to copy in the future, and that’s something to look forward to. For Honor has other things going for it as well, including its customization options, story campaign, and metagame. Still, there are aspects of the game that fail to not only raise the bar but even come close to the bar.
Matthew Arrojas · Feb 27, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - A deep and gratifying medieval swordfighting sim that risks putting off newcomers. Persevere and the rewards are well worth it.
Chris Thursten · Feb 27, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - I hope people will throw this review back at me later and say For Honor just needed a few tweaks to achieve greatness. As it is, this is a game with a disposable single-player campaign, multiplayer matches that crash or disconnect as often as they complete, and a slew of fantastic mechanics that only rise to the surface in a single game mode out of a half-dozen.
Nic Rowen · Feb 23, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - For Honor could’ve been one of the best games of this young calendar year; instead, it’s riddled with issues, particularly on the technical side, which hold it back. It might still bounce back and become the game it has the potential to be thanks to its solid gameplay core—but if you were looking for something to play right now, I’d tell you to take a wait-and-see approach with For Honor in hopes the bugs, in particular the connectivity ones, end up getting worked out.
Ray Carsillo · Feb 23, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - For Honor is a unique game with an outstanding combat system. The problems it faces are its release window (I mean look at the games currently out or on the horizon!) and the dedication it requires. Casual players need not apply, as you will be slaughtered endlessly on the battlefield. I feel like For Honor will get a smaller, but highly dedicated fan base as it goes on, but for those looking for an approachable experience will likely fall on their own blade.
Ken McKown · Feb 23, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Players must ask themselves if they're willing to put in the work and practice to meet the talented competition in For Honor, which presents a deep and long-playing proposition in its multiplayer even if the single-player campaign is rote and not worth revisiting. It's easy to give up against such uncompromising and fast-paced combat, but those who stay with it are there to fight for something other than mere survival.
Owen S. Good · Feb 22, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - For Honor takes a somewhat ridiculous concept, lays down a pretty great fighting foundation on top of it and loads it with plenty of reasons to keep playing. This past year, Ubisoft has shown a penchant for developing exciting multiplayer experiences. For Honor might frustrate in a few areas, but for every one thing it does wrong, it does a dozen other things right. For Honor sets a strong pace for Ubisoft, and it looks like the developer on course for another great year of multiplayer action.
T.J. Denzer · Feb 22, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - All in all it makes for a captivating package that I believe has a long life ahead of it, especially if Ubisoft effectively manages interest in the title with a steady stream of new content. 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.
Rich · Feb 21, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Mastering For Honor's complex, but brilliant Art of Battle control system takes time and effort, but doing so is very worthwhile. While its campaign is short and rather underwhelming, For Honor's multiplayer really delivers the goods, featuring strategic, involving, and brutal medieval combat that puts you front and center in some truly epic battles. Few games are as gritty and bone-crunching as this.
