So... been playing For Honor since Open Beta, bought it on release day. Gonna run ya through the pros/cons if you still don't have it.

Pros:
- In game currency comes quite quickly, so the [cheap] micro transactions really aren't needed to get better at the game.
- Interesting combat system, actively guard-breaking, blocking and light/heavy attacks to the left/right and from above with a parry if you heavy attack their attack gives a different element to combat. You really need to think about what you're doing which is nice from usual games like this.
- Customisation of armor sets from style, to colours, symbols and engraving makes it really dynamic to great the look you want with each class
- Skilled AI means it doesn't matter if you have one on your team, or fighting against them. Just as tricky to defeat most of the time.

Cons:
- Peer to Peer servers, because Ubisoft are cheap ♥♥♥♥♥. This leaves connections potentially up to "Acquiring Network" status while someone joins in place of a Bot or leaves.
- The gear system. Every time you complete level 20 on a class you earn 1 Reputation. With that Reputation you gain the ability to raise another 36 gear levels. So you start with level 1 gear that can be upgraded to 6. Then at R1 you get gear to be upgraded from 7 to 12. Anyway, you see how the system works. At R3 you can hit the max gear rank of 108.
- Matchmaking is done via OVERALL K/D/A, then you select the class to play. Even if you've never played it and have no gear for it.
- Combine the previous 2 cons and you have a massive ♥♥♥♥ up. People with 90 - 108 gear level can 2 hit someone and kill them who are in 50 gear, who takes 5 shots to kill the 90+ guy. Because ♥♥♥♥ BALANCING.

All in all a great game, for the game play. They need dedicated servers, and they need to actually have match making, what they have is opportunist over powered people wailing on lower leveled people until they quit the game and go scream at something. I recomend it, but I also recomend getting to the 3rd Reputation level against AI and in Brawl/Duel where gear is deactivated so you don't tear your hair out. Then gear up and go into PVP. Look at it like a long ass training exercise.

*Off to scream at something*
