FOR HONOR™
The community is all over the place but quick summerise Vikings and Samurais are both tryhard teams while knights are trying but they are also just having actual fun so imma switch to them when I feel like it.
All the characters are fun and look good but it’s up to perspective i can’t play Nobushi for the life of me but Kyoshin i can kick ass on, try a few and decide yourself, i would wish for rep 5 and under people would be allowed to just try any character because of how many characters there are now but doesn’t really matter.

Even though I have a lot of time in this game its only because it is the only one of its kind. The community is so toxic and horrible (but that goes with most games especially ubisoft ones) but that is only part of the problem. People join games with high pings and dominate because for some reason a guy sitting at 300 ping is still good to play? They recently changed the game from a reaction based game to a reading based (meaning instead of reacting to what your opponent does you have to predict and punish what you think they will do since most of the attacks are unreactable). Queue times are around 3-4 minutes for the most popular playlist (dominion) and even though you get in, your team is filled with people who don’t care to play the obj but just go for kills despite game modes (1v1, 2v2, deathmatch, etc) being designed specifically for that but people don’t platy those modes. Often times you will get teams full of the meta character or some 4man stack teams who no life the game to the point that they can take you 100-0 in a matter of seconds without giving you a chance to fight back or get revenge (which doesn’t work half the time) with the help of heavy stagger and pinning attacks. You get almost no reward for playtime (the in game currency ranges from 20-50 a game with the challenges offering 250 max per although most often they are 150 for things like “playing 12 games as a vanguard character”) with items costeing 7k for a finisher or emote and upt to 10k for other cosmetic items. It is a fun game sometimes but most of the times it is a sweat fest where you cannot chill on.

The Rebellion
If you are here reading this and the game is on sale for under $5.00, just buy it. EZPZ! I just saved you a bunch of time reading other reviews!
I love the potential TR has. It has a long way to go but the devs are showing me they are serious about their creation and I love it. The game is not there yet on a number of things, like 3rd person combat and adding a tutorial, but I’m seeing improvements every patch! I still have a lot to learn about the game but even in this early state I will recommend TR, but at the moment, only when its on a Steam sale.

While I did receive this for free and have been helping them test, I have found myself booting it up to play the survival mode without being prompted and doing it for fun. (TL;DR at bottom for lazy)
I have to say, the survival mode is quite fun. Difficult, but the challenge is what makes it fun. Furthest I’ve gotten is Battalion 5 on survival mode, which took over 2 hours to get to and I had a blast the entire time because my hero got OP halfway through. It scales with the population cap you set, the players in the game, and the difficulty you select. Normal is a decent challenge, Hard is, predictably hard, and nightmare difficulty is near impossible.

La Porte des Fauconniers : Guerre Médiévale
Although there are only the foundations laid, we can already foresee the potential and the challenge that the game can bring, the strategy and the good use of the types of units as well as the formations is essential to succeed in winning battles, but the progression of the character and his units obviously brings a significant plus that will make your life much easier in case of difficulty.
If you liked Mount & Blade or Conqueror’s Blade there is a good chance that you like La Porte des Fauconniers.

Tales of War
Originally from The Battle For Conwy Castle
Tales of War is an indie game remake in development made by Qendajar.
A medieval pvp game where you have to capture all the flags to win. Players can choose between a wide range of 20 classes in a 50 vs 50 players map.
Imperia Online
Okay, let’s go… For all those who are considering this game need to know some facts.
First thing first. It’s pure pay to win game. Meaning if you want to win era/season you need to buy: Premium, Subscription, take daily offers and so on… Or if you have luck to join some rich players alliances and they carry you all the way up.
Second thing; There are cheaters/scripters in game. There are 3rd party people who sell those stuff and when some rich player who spent so much money on the game use those stuff (scripts) IO admins will look otherway. So, as long as you’re spending money you can use cheats do frauds; you are protected.

As far as I can tell this is the best empire builder mmo I’ve come across so far. I’ve been overlooking this game for a long time. Right now I’m pretty happy I finally decided to give it a shot. It caught me by surprise to be honest. I started off playing these types of games with Evony. Later on I tried Forge Of Empires, Ikariam, O Game. I played Stronghold Empires Online for a good time, and that’s not a bad empire builder game. But, as of now, I don’t think I’ve found a better one than Imperia Online. I’m pretty surprised to be honest. If you’ve ever played any of the games I’ve played then you most definitely want to give this one a shot. I especially like the aspect of managing a court of nobles which you appoint as generals and governors. I’ve never seen this aspect to an Empire Builder before. Pretty fun.

MORDHAU
Literally the most annoying game I have ever played… I enjoy the experience of medieval combat, which is why I played this game for so long… but given any other alternative, like I now have option to play Chivalry 2, I truly wish I never played a single hour of this nonsense. Trolls, petulant brats throwing entire matches and sabotaging their team just to flirt around… who needs parenting when you have video games like Mordhau? The most insanely immature community imaginable given the serious nature of the theme of the game… the negative reviews are right, take my word for it… this game is simply a bad meme and provides no chance of immersion given the repetitive nature of the objectives, and considering that the outcome of each match is determined largely by how many trolls or griefers are on 1 team, and how many cowardly pathetic high level players are intentionally stacking the other… the most mindless waste of time I have ever experienced… even if I was stoned and drunk, this game would still frustrating and annoying.. cowards abound, repetitive weapon exploits, and team stacking every match… What else is there to say? Don’t play it, get Chivalry 2..

Ever since patch 20 this games combat hasnt felt the same. Theres so many redparries that you cant go a single fight without wondering “wtf am i palying”. The most recent dumb addition, spawn beacons, just goes to prove that the devs are trying to turn this game into battlefield, which they just cant due to the much smaller dev team. Its just sad that they would ruin such a great game, the core mechanics are so good, but they are ruined by unreadable swing manipulation, nonfunctional combat mechanics and so on. At this point you cannot play this game if youre not already very experienced at it. Its very unforgiving towards new players. Unless they revert the last 3 patches, fix the combat system and start actually working on updates actively you should consider buying it. But at its current state it just isnt worth it.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Chivalry…where do I start?
When I first heard about the game in late 2012, I knew I’d be hooked. Unfortunately, my computer couldn’t run it at the time. Flash forward to when I had a new computer come May/June of 2013, and I was having the time of my life! Foolhardy, yet visceral combat, amazing voiceovers, and the most in-depth melee combat I had ever seen at the time…it was remarkable. The combat was very in-depth, yet nobody was quite above anyone else at the time. Timing and footing was everything. My goal as a player at the time was to reach level twenty, and unlock all veteran helmets for each of the four classes. (Keep in mind that there was zero customization at this point in time, apart from switching from default to veteran helmets, which didn’t work half of the time)

After all these years, reaching level 54, I cannot recommend the game. I have 500+ hours on this, and all I can think of is remembering the good times. I hate this game so much because I used to love it to the point it became my most played game for almost one year. I’m gonna tell you why you should avoid this game that has become deteriorated over time (and has become less valuable than it was at release):
The good times, that was when this game didn’t have regular crashes (it had none in fact). Now it crashes EVERY FIRST TIME you join the game, you Alt+F4 and then you have to again load the game. THEN it’s very likely the server you wanted to join is full. You have to wait. Then it’s possible that it crashes at the character screen etc… It’s also possible to simply crash mid-game. I once had over 16 crashes while waiting for the server list to load. This never happened at the start.

High Treason
High Treason is a massively multiplayer online PvP game set in a low fantasy medieval world. Create and level up your character by completing tasks such as hunting down player targets, completing quests, and looting towns, caves, and dungeons.
Progression,
Featuring a unique item progression system, items will demand a specific task to be carried out to refine their quality and improve stats. Some weapons may be bloodthirsty and demand kills, others may need to be sharpened with a grinding stone or polished with a wolf pelt. Each weapon carries with it a unique set of skills to use in combat - charge with shields, swipe with halberds, shadowstep with daggers, slam with greathammers, amongst many more; and of course, the effectiveness is influenced by the item’s quality.
Ironlights
sadly, there are too many issues with this game to recommend it.
the concept is alright, though i do think the weapons shattering while you’re blocking kinda defeats the entire point of blocking with a weapon
and even then, you’ll have some good games, you’ll meet a knight who swings properly, and damn near cuts you in half with his projectiles, a duelist who deftly parries and thrusts, a crusader who is close unpredictable with his master over the ball and chain, or a reaper like me, who blocks and seeks openings in your guard, forcing you to adapt quickly.

Ironlights is actually a pretty awesome game. For those who have looked up the steamcharts and fear the game is dead. Most of the players are on oculus and there’s crossplay. So those numbers can be misleading.
The game is probably the closest I’ve gotten to actual fencing in a vr game (It’s not super close, but it’s better than the other sword games I’ve tried). The game prevents the wiggle wand style of sword fighting which is awesome. The singleplayer ai is fairly competent as well, so there’s a lot of fun in that. There’s also a seemingly great community here as well.
