TLDR: Only get this game if you have 2-3 friends to play with, and for the love of all that's good, stay away from the For Honor forums and subreddits.

I've been playing For Honor on and off for about 5 years now. It's a one of a kind game that mixes the fighting and moba genres, creating something truly unique. If you spend some time to learn the basics of gameplay, it can be very enjoyable.

Unfortunately, that's where my praise ends. While the core gameplay is pretty solid, everything else surrounding the game makes for a very frustrating experience.

The toxicity of the For Honor community is rivaled only by few others. In it, you'll find some of the saltiest people in existence. Players that can't accept they're bad at the game, and will blame everything except their own lack of skill.

If you plan on purchasing the game to solo queue, make sure to set some money aside for therapy. The sheer incompetence of most of the teammates I've ever been matched with, haunts my dreams. A weird pattern I've noticed, is that, the reputation level of some players is inversely proportional to their actual skill. You'll see 10-20 rep players that play like pros, and 200+ rep players that can't get a kill to save their lives.
