9 Reasons For Honor Is Ubisoft's Most Polarising Game In Years
5. The Narrative Is A Bit Bonkers
"It's a video game, so what?" was all I needed, but that hasn't stopped many commenters noting that For Honor's 'narrative' is just too stupid for its own good.
In this world Ubisoft have created, we already need to get over the fact that the time periods where samurai, vikings and medieval knights existed were nowhere near each other, but that a completely random earthquake shook the Earth to its core, dividing up territories and pitting all three factions against one another for control of various resources.
The single-player campaign will apparently appoint a common enemy for all three groups to fight against (the evil Apollyon, a female warlord who perhaps orchestrated this 'natural phenomenon' in order to bring about war in the first place), but it stands that if you're anything of a history buff or were looking for the game's tone to match its 'realistic' combat, you'll be sorely disappointed.
