The single player story is reasonably short (probably about 18 short missions) 6 knight, 6 Viking and 6 samurai. But saying that the stories are good with excellent graphics. Online is where it is though, great detail, environments, weapons...you name it! The controls are a little difficult when you start off but that's due to the realism of having to guess an attack, block and then counter yourself...no guns here just big ass swords, axes and mallets!

If ‘vikings vs knights vs samurai’ sounds like the formula for a comedy game, rest assured that Ubisoft’s trademark deadly seriousness is all present and correct. Hilariously, an opening cinematic even tries to justify the conceit in an entirely straight-faced way. Something about an eternal war arranged by an evil ladyknight, though I didn’t take in all the details because oh for God’s sakes. All that matters is you get to choose to be a viking, a knight or a samurai and then you go sword/axefight a whole load of enemies from across those factions. This being 2016, there’s a heavy focus on unlocks, both in terms of skills and equipment and purely aesthetic stuff such as helmets, tats and even how the shaft of your weapon looks. You can spend in-game cash earned from fighting and levelling up on random packs of unlocks, and I’ll go tell a real-life viking that he’s got girls’ hair if there isn’t ultimately some option to do this with real human money too. In any case: a move from guns to blades does not involve a move away from the tropes of a modern multiplayer game, but admittedly armour and melee weapons are a whole lot more fun to tweak from a visual point of view than fatigues and machineguns. As for the fighting, inevitably we’re not in reticulesas any more. This is a game about timing and blocking, not aiming. The idea For Honor’s come up with is that you can hold your weapon in one of three directions – left, right, above – in order both to block which angle you think an attack is coming from, and to ensure your own hit connects rather than bounces right off the enemy’s blade with yer classic clang or donk sound effect.Read full review
