5 Reasons For Honor Could Be Game of the Year!

5 Reasons For Honor Could Be Game of the Year!

For Honor has finally made its way into the hands of the gaming community, and it’s certainly made a splash during its first few days. The beta was downright fantastic, and the final release it just as good. The game is redefining the fighting genre and making some serious strides forward for Ubisoft. In fact, it just might be their most unique and captivating game since Ezio burst onto the scene in 2007. Let’s take a look at the top 5 reasons For Honor could win be 2017’s game of the year.

Redefining the Genre

Redefining the Genre

Did we mention For Honor ‘s redefining the fighting genre? In my mind, no other game comes close to its fighting mechanics. Yes, it has all of your typical attacks, counters, and blocks. However, there’s so much more to this game than those basic moves. It’s all about how you use them to out-strategize your opponents and find weaknesses in their attacks, rather than button mash for 10 minutes.

Realism

Realism

For Honor is about as good as it gets when it comes to replicating the battles of its time. Nothing comes close to the immersive feel of literally outthinking your opponent and destroying them. The game plays more like a chess match, rather than a hacking and slashing thriller.

Deep Single Player

Deep Single Player

Typically, a game belonging to the fighting genre either has a deep story mode or epic battle mechanics. For Honor undoubtedly has both. You get to become a Knight, Viking, or Samurai in 18 missions across 3 chapters. This lets you sample classes, then journey deep into castles and burning fortresses. It happens all while equiping with the most epic weapons and employing great battle moves. You’ll certainly need to watch out for enemies from all angles as the battle system sends foes in all directions, even from above.

We’ve Never Seen Anything Like It

We’ve Never Seen Anything Like It

For Honor has all the makings of a great title, thanks to its robust single player, epic multiplayer, and revolutionary battle system. The one aspect that separates itself from the pack, and at the very least puts itself in the conversation for Game of the Year, is without a doubt the way it’s all uniquely tied together in a way we’ve never seen before. The single player connects to the multiplayer, and vice versa, helping you constantly advance. Everything connects and constantly rewards the person playing.

We’ve Been Asking for It

We’ve Been Asking for It

The gaming community, as a whole, has been asking for a jump back into the history books for several years now. EA Dice was one of the few developers that finally listened to the community when it released of Battlefield 1 . Unfortunately, most still haven’t budged – until now. Ubisoft listened and delivered For Honor , a historical game most gamers can get behind.
