"For Honor" is Ubisoft's newest offering, a medieval fighting game that has unfortunately been met with a number of technical issues. Apparently, the said issues didn't surface in the recent open beta. "For Honor" was officially released on Feb. 14 for PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One platforms. The game is priced at $60.

Is "For Honor" a worthy game to play and purchase? Check out the early bird reviews to help you decide.

According to GameSpot, their current review for "For Honor" can be considered as still in progress and will be updated from time to time. Also, it is asking for more time for the in-house players to delve deeper into the game and get used to the fighting mechanics.

One of the earliest "For Honor" reviews from GameSpot revealed that while the one-on-one battles are challenging and entertaining, it heavily contrasts with the concept and expectation that players must actually aim for the enemies carefully. Instead, some players observed that defeating "For Honor" AI minions were possible by simply swinging around mindlessly, discounting the effort of a calculated execution of one-on-one combat.

However, despite of the said shortcomings in "For Honor," players also acknowledge the game's potential to be a dominant multi-player fighting game. The genre of "For Honor" is also a risky move for Ubisoft because of its unique medieval setting in the age of top of the line guns and explosives being paraded in video games. Nevertheless, the combat system of "For Honor" is surprisingly complete and flexible in terms of tactical mechanisms.

According to IGN, players can enjoy the four classes of Heroes for each Faction. The said classes are specifically designed for different kinds of battles but not really limited to just a single role. It is highly encouraged that players brush up on the background of each classes to be knowledgeable about what class suits best with different scenarios.
