For Honor: 10 Crucial Ups & Downs

As mentioned in the introduction to this article that For Honor's campaign isn't exactly a meditation on the savagery of man and the nature of war. If you're looking for that from the campaign on offer in For Honor, you won't find it.

For Honor's campaign tells an often difficult to rationalise story that is best experienced as an introduction to heroes and their battlefield roles than anything else.

All of the characters within the campaign are fairly interchangeable as far as personality and motivations go. They all want to shout a lot and kill a bunch of the enemy for glory, but there's not much more to them than that, or any real stakes.

If your interest in For Honor is purely for the campaign, then it's hard to recommend without at least telling you that the majority of the game's appeal, and the way it has been designed to be played, is through online skirmishes in multiplayer mode.

For some players the story and narrative won't be an issue at all. But others way well be put out by what is, in essence, a weak campaign.
