For Honor

At least once in his life, everyone imagined himself as a medieval warrior, cutting through a crowd of enemies when life could be interrupted at any moment. For Honor is a Ubisoft project that, despite the high system requirements, provides this opportunity. There are 3 opposing factions: Knights, Samurai and Vikings. The game itself is a mix of action and slasher.

For Honor features both a single-player campaign and multiplayer. The single-player campaign is divided into 3 parts, so the player will have the opportunity to play for each of the opposing factions. I'll make a reservation right away that the single-player game is more like just a training session before multiplayer, which is the main focus of For Honor. But I do not recommend neglecting it, it allows the player to get used to the action game and the characters.

Character classes

• Vanguard

Balanced warriors who feel good both offensively and defensively

• Assassin

Fighters who are good at 1-on-1 fights, but due to lack of protection are not as effective in mass battles

• Heavy

Well-defended but slow warriors who have powerful but far from fast attacks

There is also customization in the game, with which you can create a unique fighter. You can change a lot, from the color of your skin to the hilt of your weapon.

Combat system

The combat system in the game is not easy: you need to monitor the direction of attack and defense, that is, just putting a block will not be enough, you also need to guess the direction. At first it will seem difficult, but over time the player will make unrealistic combinations and reflect almost every opponent's blow.

The attacks themselves are divided into weak and strong, but don't think that you can just spam with strong attacks and then there will be an "easy win" – the game has a reserve of energy.

It is also worth mentioning the maps themselves, on which the battles take place. There are a lot of maps: from knight castles to forests and mountains. There are interactive objects on each terrain (bonfires, traps with spikes, cliffs, etc.), which can help in an unequal battle with opponents.

• Duel

1 arena, 2 players, and only one will win. The account is maintained using the Bo5 system.

• A 2-on-2 duel

In fact, it's the same duel, but now you have to fight with your friend against another pair.

• Destruction

This mode is already more interesting and suitable for experienced players. 2 teams of 4 people fight until the characters of the opposing team fall. The beginning of this mode is 4 duels, and later they develop into a full–scale team battle.

• The fight

As in the previous mode, the battle features 2 teams of 4 players each, but unlike Destruction, there are respawns and a set of points.

• Seizure of territories

Bots also participate in this mode. Players will have to capture and hold control points, which requires a tactical approach.

Conclusion

For Honor is an ideal option to pass more than one evening with friends or strangers, because there is nothing better than chopping off a couple of heads after a hard day.
