Whatsup Gamers and Hivers!!

For Honor

So For Honor recently became free to play on Xbox Game Pass given Xbox Game Pass does have a monthly subscription but if you already have it you will be able to play it as well.

Now I've been contemplating for a very long time if I should actually buy this game on Steam but I always thought it only had a multiplayer mode and seeing that I live in South Africa I was skeptical about buying it because we don't hae our own servers for all the games so buying it and playing it on a ping on 220 ms wasn't really an option for me.

Luckily for me the game is now free to play and I only now discover it in fact has a Story mode tied to it! Three in fact!

Chapter 1 - Knights

Chapter 2 - Vikings (Cant wait for this chapter.)

Chapter 3 - Samurai

So without delay I downloaded the game in hopes that it would actually be good. It turned out to be better than I originally thought it would be!

Stick with me as I share episodes of the Story mode every week! This is going to be majorly and epicly ALOT of fun!

Note worthy. Bear with me as I would probably die a few times on every episode seeing that I chose the HARD option for the run through of this game. Believe me its harder than it looks!

Chapter 1 - Knights

The actual setting of the map looks real beautifull I love what they did and how they presented it.

Warlord and Cowards

The Warden

Upon entering the game and story mode you are presented with three different looks that you can choose from and each look has a male and female character.

I choose this one because it has a mighty appearance to it especially with the enormously big blade combined with the utter disciplined stance the character gives.

Holden Cross

The game starts of where you are being attacked by the Black-stone Knights at Holden Cross. Upon coming out of the castle tower you enter a confused battle area as the catapults firing and breaking down your walls. You have no time to spare and jump right into combat.

The Battle Rages On

As I fight my way through the beaten down castle being surprised at every corner while the walls come crumbling down around you. The game has some nice dodging and fighting mechanics to it, the best part is you have execution moves as well. Although you have to be quick on your fingers otherwise you can easily miss the execution.

The Breakthrough

After trying my best to defend the gates it was inevitable that the enemy was going to break through!

This is were the game took a heavy turn, after the doors fell the leader of the Blackstone army confronted Curveys Domini and challenged him to a duel. He denied and the Black-Stone Commander offered his second, as did Curveys and I was his second.

I was forced into a duel, one that I couldn't deny. I accepted this duel to stop the blood shedding.

Knighted into the Black-Stone Army

After winning the battle against the Black-stone General's second in charge I was knighted. He felt that his second could not have been defeated by a common soldier.

This is where my journey started with the Black-stone movement!

Stay Out

The next episode on For Honor will probably be more of a fight by the looks of the size of that castle.
I genuinely can not wait to jump back into this game, I might even make a episode a bit earlier in the week 😄

If you have any recommendations on any games you want to see me playing throw it out there in the comments!

Until next time stay good people! Keep on gaming and keep on Hiveing!!!!
