I think if a different studio had made this game, say Valve or Respawn, this could've been a very very good game.

Unfortunately for us, Ubislop made this game. It's been 9 years, nearly 10, and the servers are still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. 100% chance at least one person will randomly disconnect from the game every dominion match you play, which is the only gamemode most people play cause everything else takes too long.

Duels are cool, but takes like 2 minutes to cue for like 5 30 second matches. You'd think with how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the servers are, they'd at least add a reconnect feature, but no they're busy making new busted characters for the whales to buy.

The combat, when it works, works. It's fun, it's dynamic, it's cool, and it's something you can always get better at. Even when I lose a fight if its close I feel happy. But as I said earlier the newer paid characters will just always 100% of the time be more busted than the other heroes.

Its really annoying playing interesting characters that unfortunately will often lose you the game, and the importance of character choice is 10x more important in 4v4 and teamfights.

I hate Ubisoft more than any other studio, mostly because of how they handled this game. On PC and Xbox I'm like Rep 300 and I really would like to give this game a good review. But it doesn't deserve one, and any new players should find something else to get into.

If I could go back in time I'd be like that Interstellar bookcase scene screaming at my younger self to never download this game.

Woe to all ye who enter here. Turn back for ye sanity.

When I entered, I expected a fun medieval fighting game with a revolutionary combat system that included full guards and neat parry animations.
What I got was an abusive relationship where I enjoy playing a dude with a katana and then four burly men decide to swing their axes at me all at once and I'm stunlocked until they pick me up over their shoulder and toss me into a pit like the movie 300.

I thought I was safe booting up For Honor today. I put on some music, have a laugh as I get into the first lobby.
Four Berserkers. "It's okay!" I think to myself. "Two of them are bots! Surely I'll just wait them out!" Wo' to ye, my innocent self. For lo and behold, a Virtuosa. "It's fine! I can deal with a Virtuosa!" Rep three hundred. But wait, there's more. My tale of sorrow is not yet done.

This game haunts all those who once enjoyed playing it. I lie down, try to rest, and I swear I can hear "INCREDIBILIS!" from my closet. "What's that!? Who's there!" I proclaim, getting up from my bed. I open the closet, nothing. Then I hear from down the hall "BANDIR SHIRAFNI!" And I hide under the covers of my safe haven for fear of the short-cannibal-woman-who-eats-you. Then as I drift off, listening to my calming music, I get that strange sensation of falling and jolting awake- but I'm not falling. I hear "MISERUM! AD MORTEM INUMICUS!"

10/10.
i'm still bad at the game.

Maybe add reconnect feature after 9 years?
