Chivalry: Medieval Warfare vs For Honor
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a thrilling first-person game where you actually get to assume to role of a chivalrous knight set in the medieval era. Although the game does have an offline mode where players can get familiarized with the controls and the gameplay, which admittedly is somewhat similar to that of a general FPS game, Chivalry is a multiplayer-focused game.The game provides players with exciting competitive online gameplay in which they can besiege castles, raid villages and engage in close-quarter melee combat. The action-based combat also allow you to block incoming blows and adjust your attacks to counter it. There is even an arsenal of up to 60 different melee weapons, a wide variety of siege weapons as well as a nice selection of castle-defending tools including boiling oil and traps.
If you've always longed for a game where you can fight like the knight of old, then you'll definitely want to buy Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. It may not be the only game of such sort on Steam, Playstation of Xbox, but it's possibly among the best ones.
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).
