WELCOME

for honor

For Honor is (another) brand-new IP from the folks at Ubisoft. An action hack-and-slash title, you pick your side in the Viking/Samurai/Knight war, and then shove a blade through the head of anyone who disagrees. The game utilises a sophisticated combat

system that's hard not to fall in love with. The Art of Battle focuses on blocking and guarding as opposed to a "best defence is a good offense' approach, necessitating a more calculated attack. Thrown into the fray in the campaign is Apollyon, a Knight who thrives on war. It's your job to try and take her down, and you play as a number of different Factions and their subsequent classes, which is a great veiled tutorial for the impressive multiplayer. Which brings us to the bread and butter of For Honor . The multiplayer includes a bunch of different modes – our personal favourite is Elimination – and all fights contribute to the Faction War. There really is something for every fantasy-loving swords/ katana/axeman out there. For Honor is a solid first entry in a hopefully burgeoning franchise, and one hell of a stress relief outlet.

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" Happy Mask Salesman, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
