10 Hyped 2017 Video Games That Will Definitely Disappoint You

5. For Honor

Like Dynasty Warriors, For Honor looks destined to end up the in the same "Looks cool, plays cool... for half an hour" camp as Koei Tecmo's beloved franchise. I say beloved, because the Dynasty Warriors games have routinely done well in the East, whilst completely failing to catch on in the West.

For Honor carries forward the idea of mass melee-based warfare, adding a multi-block, 'rock paper scissors'-style approach to defensive play, but mostly insisting on cleaving a path through enemies with sheer offensive force alone.

Weirdly, Ubi have been coy about showing off their story mode whilst continually plugging group combat, resulting in a general fervour that's fairly muted, yet the studio are pushing it as one of their biggest games of the first quarter.
