The combat, characters and game modes are fun. It's a one of a kind game that has a very good and unique concept.

Pros:
+ Easy to learn, Hard to Master
+ Character Fashion, the more you play a character the better gear/loot you get when playing them.
+ Stylish Emotes, Executions and effects which you can all buy with the free currency.
+ Not a pay 2 win game, it's more play to win. Even if you buy all the characters it won't stop your ass from getting light spammed by a level 1 player. GIT GUD
+ Different versions of the game to help people who are new to the game get into it for a lower price.
+ Cool events every now and then i guess.

Cons:
- It's made by Ubisoft.
- You will randomly get disconnected.
- You will randomly get a penalty and be unable to play the game for a time.
- Sometimes you connection will go from very good to below 30 FPS. If you even are casually familiar with fighting games you know why that's a problem. Parrying and blocking becomes a nightmare as your connection tanks.
- Endless grind. As the game gets more character each of them can be prestiged to get more loot. Up to 70 prestige levels, that' 1400 levels PER CHARACTER! You can definitely play this game for the rest of your life and still suck at it. I beat up a Prestige 70 warden, the guy only knew how to spam attacks, and could not parry. Don't be the Warden, play other games too.
- UI's that are both clear and confusing. My character has new gear? Let's check it out, oh it's a new skill, but it does NOT show me which one new? And it's done it again...and again...and again.
- Grind squeeze. Oh you unlocked this new character? Wouldn't it be a shame of this new character does NOT have any of the unlocked cosmetics and effects that you have on a previous character which you have spend at least 50 hours into? Even if the effects are 100% the same and has no difference between characters? Those wings or flames you got for your favorite character? Yeah pay the same price to get that effect on every, single, other character in the game. Completionists are gonna never shut this game down.
- Cosmetics can only be modified once you buy the character. You can level a character if your chosen faction up to prestige 30 but still not be able to change their cosmetics until you buy that character.

Editions and price:

Starter Edition: The one you should get if you want to try the game but don't wanna spend too much.
You get 1 faction's basic heroes to play with, and can play the game, with the exception of the Arcade. You still have to buy most of the characters in the game. Less money payed? More grind added.

Standard Edition: You get all of the Non-seasonal characters in each faction. That means about 3-4 characters per faction with the exception of the Wu-Lin. That's it, you don't get much more. Just less character to have to grind to unlock. Discount only buy unless u want to cough up the extra cash.

Marching Fire Edition: You get the standard edition + the Wu-Lin faction characters. Oh you also finally get to play the arcade, get frustrated and wonder why you payed the extra cash? On sale only buy, and i mean the 60% or more discounts

Complete Edition: You get all of them characters, the Arcade and more cool effects and bonuses. Only get it on sale, unless you are part of the 1% of people who does not care about price and are just looking to waste ur cash. This is an nearly endless pit of money wasting you can do here.

Verdict: A really cool game, which you can play solo or with friends. Make as much fun as you want and get the cosmetics you want all for free. Or pay up to unlock it all and spend less time. But it's made by Ubisoft, has frustrating bugs & issues.

Would I recommend? Unless you want to put your life into this game, maybe just get the starter edition or any of the other edition on sale.

A very strong 7/10, oh sorry make that 6/10 Ubi disconnected me while i was writing the review so i had to wait for a 15 minute penalty for starting up For Honour. It's a 6/10. Don't waste your life on this game, but give it a go if you want to bash some weebs.
