For Honor vs Soulcalibur II
For Honor
For Honor is a team-based, competitive melee brawler where knights, vikings and samurais duke it out on various gorgeously-designed, arena-like battlefields. Unlike many brawlers, however, this game includes some elements of MOBAs and MMOFPS games in it, specifically the presence of normal AI-controlled soldiers (a.k.a. creeps) and also the need to capture several objective points around the map, sometimes with the help of said soldiers, and hold it to earn points for your team.The gameplay is astounding as well. Featuring an intuitive, action-based combat system, the game places a lot of emphasis on knowing your enemy and predicting what they will do as you alternate between blocking your opponent's blows and dishing some of your own. Having situational and battlefield awareness is crucial too, since most of the time, it's better to let an enemy take a capture point rather than getting hemmed in by him and his reinforcements and dying pointlessly in the process.
You also get to customize your characters in For Honor, changing their weapon sets to fit your play style or swapping cooler outfits so you can look good when you deal that final blow. In addition to its multiplayer component, which is frankly the main part of the game, For Honor also features a single-player campaign where you'll get to battle challenging bosses.
Although the game didn't get as rave a review as Ubisoft might have expected, For Honor is still a pretty decent melee brawler with breathtaking graphics, which features the mightiest and most fearless warriors in humanity's brief stint on Earth. The game is a buy-to-play with microtransactions (cosmetics mainly).
