We can only pick Yes or Totally yes ? Thats disingenuous as Hell. And you might as well call Dark Souls a fighting game.

For Honor is referred to as a fighting game, which I think is a strange categorization. There is a 1v1 mechanic but it only comprises a larger EvE struggle and is just designed to make the individual swordfights feel more meaningful.

Its a team-based hack-and-slash with a moderately complex swordfighting system.
The only game reviewers who can be trusted are those who publish in Latin or Swahili.
