Hey Hi Lo Everyone,

Pudding Bear here. This is my review of For Honor.

Overview:
The game puts you in the middle of a war between 3 fractions, the knights, the vikings, and the samurais. You will choose which fraction to join at the begining of the game. Each fraction currently has 3 heroes and each hero has a different play style (during combat you are not limited to just the 3 heroes of your fraction, you can use any hero).
Note: To install the game you will be required to also install UPlay, Ubisoft's version of steam.

Gameplay style:
A surprisingly realistic feel. There are various game mode such duel, deathmatch and dominion. The characters swing their weapons like it actually weight something. Against your opponents you are able to dodge and block based on the directions of the incoming attack (very important aspect of the game). If the enemy attacks from the right you need to block from the right. There is no guard all button. Characters also have stamina which is used to attack. If you run out of stamina you need to recharge it by not attacking.

Content:
Apart from having bragging rights for being an undefeatable badass you gain items/loot, like every other game out there. You can use these items to customize your character. Every hero you play can also level up, I have yet to play enough of the beta to know what leveling your character does.

Summary:
Pros:
1. Stunningly amazing graphics (good graphic card required)
2. Realistic and fluid battle style (if you enjoy that)
3. 9 unique heroes/play styles
4. Great with friends for a 4 v 4 match

Cons:
1. Steep price tag RM 219.00 or USD 59.00
2. The guarding mechanism take some time to really master and can sometimes be a little clunky
3. Currently the beta doesn't have too much content as I have mentioned above
4. Possibly no SEA server or it is peer to peer. But when playing the beta I had no lag at all. Note: I use a 100 mbps fibre optic line.

For a video review and gameplay, check out the video below of me playing the game:[SIZE=7]

I sure hope they have dedicated servers for 4 v 4. I believe anyone who is playing this game would have a decent enough line and PC to host a 1 v 1 or a 2 v 2.

Haha. Yeah, sadly it's over. Time to delete. Just the beta is 40 gigs.

It really is a fun game to play = D
