Looks nice, great premise I just couldn't get into it. I can't imagine how many controllers are going to be broken because of this game. The blocking system and attack system are gonna destroy the analog sticks.
I had high hopes for it but I just couldn't get into the gameplay. I'm sure others will enjoy it but I'm glad I got into the testing because I had the gold edition pre ordered. Saved me some money/heartache.
It's a good game, if not even very good, but the levels are just far, far too small to make it worth anything over £20 at the moment.
They got away with it in R6:Siege because there's tactics & scene demolition. There's tactics in For Honor (albeit less) but there is not enough variety within the levels to be considered a proper game.
It needs changing objectives, with extended maps & missions like in Chivalry to take it up to the next level & make it something worth RRP.
In the state it's in with the direction they seem to be leaving it in I'm afraid it will be completely forgotten about within a few weeks.
I watched streams of people playing it and I must say i'm not impressed.
I was expecting a bit more Bushido Blade and it is nothing like that.
It is arcade-y and completely unrealistic/inaccurate.
I'm not angry with it just disappointed, will wait for a huge price drop or more details/changes.
I'm in the ps4 alpha. Spent tons of hours on it yesterday. This game is far from an arcadey button masher lol you get destroyed by another player trying to pull that bs.
All in all, its visually pleasing and fun to play. You need patience, need to learn how to block and dodge in order to survive and win. The duels are great.
Only negative I have is that the character movement can feel clunky at times but I get the feeling most of that weighted feel was intentional.
I can't wait for the full game now after playing the alpha me and my friends have really enjoyed it. Just hope theres lots more customizable armour & weapons and bigger better game modes & maps.gona get it pre ordered soon.
