Tried a bit of the For Honor beta there available this weekend. Really surprised me by blowing away my expectations of what the game is. It's not just a hack and slash, it's more attune to a fighting game. Special moves, combos, mix ups, cancels, it's all there. Each faction has 3 heroes each that fit certain archetypes but each character has unique abilities or perks in some way that just like in a fighting game, you have to learn your opponent and adapt on the fly to try and handle them and any strategies they have. Really interesting and I love to play it....
...That is, if I can play it. I don't think I'll buy it immediately at launch until I see what the reviews of it's online stability is because I've had so many issues of connectivity issues and disconnections. I really hope it's stable otherwise people are just going to drop this game pretty quick if the online doesn't work. The P2P matchmaking doesn't help either, I've had a few instances where someone will leave a 4v4 game mid-match and everyone gets disconnected as a result. If that's the way they've designed the game then that's a harder issue to fix. Fingers crossed it's sorted.
