If you attack in a direction that an opponent hasn’t picked, surprise, your attack will land. If your stance matches that of an incoming attack, you’ll block it. Characters hold their weapons in three different stances (up, left, and right). If you haven’t played For Honor, it’s simultaneously simple and complex. Before I joined the session, I went back through the tutorials and reacclimated myself to the combat basics. Ubisoft was kind enough to loan me three members of the For Honor team to get me back up to speed. The bottom line? It’s still fun … but get used to dying. After all, new heroes and maps have been released over the years, along with balance changes and tweaks to the overall meta. I haven’t played much of the melee fighter since I reviewed it back in 2017, which made me wonder what it’s like to jump back in. For Honor recently celebrated its fourth birthday, and the company revealed what’s ahead for the game as part of its Year 5 update (Shovel Knight cosmetics!). Rainbow Six: Siege is still going strong six years after its launch, but that’s not the only Ubisoft title still pulling back players in for more.
