I have lots of great memories playing this game with friends during launch and the months afterwards even though it was a complete mess. Ubisoft did end up fixing and adding some cool things over time into the game but just not fast enough. Plus all the monetization and crap servers in a full priced game didn't help.

I can't help but feel out of all the Ubisoft games that force a generic open world that it would have actually benefited the For Honor campaign. Pick a starting class as Knight, Viking, or Samurai and have different starts for each one. Hell, when they did DLC they could've added more to the campaign adding replay value but I know that's asking to much of small indie company Ubisoft.

All frustrations aside if they announced a sequel that isn't the same game with a fresh coat of paint I would be genuinely excited to see what it would be like and would probably end up getting it at some point. If they can make a game that changes the parrying to be more like Sekiros and the servers are actually good I'd buy in a heartbeat.

For Honor was always one of those games that seemed really mechanically interesting to me, but its publisher and poor word of mouth always frightened me away.

It is exciting to imagine a more polished sequel, as the 'mind games inside of mind games' hook of the combat system deserves to another shot.
