For Honor

A beautiful game which is plagued with clunky combat. What a disappointment this one was... Glad I only rented it.

This game is very mild for a title with the "M" rating. Sure, it has blood, but it can be turned off. The main concern to parents are the assassinations. Although they are optional, they can be pretty intense. One features a samurai decapitating they opponent. Keep in mind though, that you have to be trying during the fight to get an assassination. If your kid plays Sky rim, Dark Souls, or any first person shooter, than this should be fine. In the campaign, there is problem solving and no objectives located on the map, so you have to figure this out yourself. The multiplayer is more strategy than problem solving. Over all I think this game is for fairly mature 11 year old people and up.

Probably the worst title I have laid my hands on. From recurring bugs and just plain balancing issues this title has everything to show you that it simply isn't worth your time. The developers have obviously jumped ship quite a while ago to work on other way more successful titles such as Assassins Creed etc. And the remaining few that stuck it out have so little game knowledge that they destroy the game unintentionally. Heros whos sole purpose it is just to annoy you is the norm and the entire games premise of "fighting for honor" becomes quite ironic considering how toxic the entire environment is. I would usually critique the players who "destroy" the fun but in this case it is the game which is entirely designed to be annoying and infuriating.

While the idea was nice, this game is fundamentally unfair. Half the game is loaded with cheaters and they get away with it. A game only doesn't count as a loss if you leave if all your teammates left, while it's a guaranteed loss after 2 leave (and even more definite if opponents cheat). Ubisoft should REALLY get on top of this cheating problem, it ruins the game, which already had a super toxic fanbase to begin with. The characters and rules for revenge are incredibly unbalanced and thus unfair. If playing this game fills you with rage and gives you high blood pressure, bless your heart. You're one of the few players with "honor"

Lets start of with the good: 1. Still got good visuals 2. It is unique. It stands out (like a foul smelling rotting skunk carcass on the floor of your living room) 3. It's cheap (Like that second hand pair of used underpants that are for some reason yellow and crusted)

Now the bad: 1. It is horribly unbalanced 2. The learning curve is a 90% wall stretching into the heavens 3. The light spam is toxic and it makes the new players run away faster than a fat kid from a salad 4. It's repetitive and has only a few game modes that are basically the same 5. Small player base (Check 2. And 3.) 6. No middle ground. You either invest a frustrating few months into this game to get all the millisecond reactions and reads, or act like a punching bag to toxic emote spamming kids 7. Did I mention light spam?

Conclusion: Find something less frustrating and more rewarding to do.
