For Honor Review: 5 Ups & 5 Downs

2. One Of Ubi's Most Impressive Games On A Visual Level

From the incredible character models that - amazingly - have a great sense of identity about them (despite being taken from the most generic of tropes), to levels that are awash in fire, brimstone and torrential rain, Ubisoft have absolutely nailed the idea that these wars have gone on for ages, resulting in generations being raised for that purpose alone.

Bulky, Dragonborn-intimidating vikings will shoulder charge otherwise nimble samurai, whilst twin sword wielding knight hybrids twirl around them both, waiting for the best moment to strike. Watching For Honor in motion exudes a great sense of confidence from Ubi in what they were doing. There's not a single hair, blade or muscle out of place, and thanks to not skimping out on peppering landscapes or characters with primary colours, the graphical punch of For Honor is one you'll easily pick out.

In addition, I haven't witnessed a single graphical bug or hitch whatsoever - outside of the frame rate slowing to a crawl when a number of players leave a match at once, anyway. Whilst you wouldn't need to point this out if it was any other developer, Ubi have clearly taken the time to smooth over their otherwise legendary rough edges, resulting in a game that doesn't feel remotely rushed in any respect.
