Overall the game is actually very good, it has the best melee combat a slasher game has to offer, with a lot of choices for how to customize your knight and pick weapons that fit your playstyle.
My main critique of the game comes from the other aspects of the game, such as how its being managed, as well as what experiences a new player can come across.

'How the game is being managed' - Content updates for the game come very far and few between, with very little overall content each patch. At the very most you would have to wait 6+ months for any kind of content update to happen, and after all that time waiting, you get 1 new weapon, which is typically broken on release, a couple helmets and shoulder pieces, perhaps some chest armor if they are generous and an arena map that no one plays. The games overall population has declined greatly over the months due to lack of frequent and worth while updates.

'Experience for new players' - If your a new player to Mordhau, prepare to die over and over again by players who havent yet dropped the game, your usual casual game will consist of many lv 100+ players who use meta loadouts to stomp casual games, as a new player you will have to adapt to facing opponents who have thousands more hours than you do.

The tutorial is fine to learn the basics, however past that you are on your own. Players are completely different from the AI's predictable swings, whilst players will use over head swings that are faster than you are used to, to faint spamming and other tactics that new players havent gotten used to.

Overall the game has amazing combat and the potential to becoming a game that other slashers will have to be compared to, however with how its being managed with content updates and the experience that new players have to go through, I personally wouldnt pick up this game in its current state.
It would need a lot more content patches with actual content in them in order to be worth while playng long term.
