One of the big surprises of E3 2015 has been Ubisoft’s reveal of For Honor. Ubisoft Montreal’s
4v4 vikings/knights/samurai game provides the intense multiplayer competitiveness of a shooter with the melee finesse of third-person action game.
At first glance, you may be inclined to dismiss For Honor as a reskinned Dynasty Warriors, but nothing could be further from the truth. The deep combat creates tense stand-offs, as it’s all centred on selecting one of three directions in which to block or thrust. Match your opponent’s blow and you’ll enjoy a successful riposte; get it wrong, and you’re gonna bleed. The result is a situation in which both you and your opponent size each other up, watching your respective blades flick from stance to stance, both playing defensively while weighing up the risks associated with making the first move.
It’s simultaneously thrilling and engaging, while the blows feel like they have weight behind them. All-in-all, it’s quite the rush.
