Outside of the fact that it's Ubisoft, this game is amazing. It's basically a fighting game in the guise of an MMO. Albeit a light MMO given the most players in a match is 4v4. I spent the open beta playing it. I did not like it at all at first. In fact I didn't like it until the last 2 days of the beta. The reasons it took me awhile are 1) to grasp the overall control scheme 2) learn a class's moves and combos and 3) learn a class's flow 4) and learn enough about the other classes to know how to play against them. Once I got a basic level of proficiency I started having a blast. Do yourself a favor and check it out. This might be a game of the year IMO.
Highlights:
-Excellent graphics
-High skill cap
-Fun game modes that have something for everyone
-3 factions (The Knights, The Vikings, The Samurai), 4 classes each faction
-Classes have varied strength and weaknesses
-Per class gear and aesthetic customization
-Daily, weekly, and global event quests
-AI Bots are no joke
-Faction War is a nice over the top meta game
-Single player campaign (haven't played it, but it's probably decent given the core mechanics are good.)
Things I don't like
-Neckbeards that think you must 1v1 in multiplayer modes. Something, something "you have no honor" is what they say. No it's that I know that made up rules are made up. Also, there is a "revenge" mechanic in the game. It gives a player a chance to defeat multiple enemies when ganged up on. You still need to be on your game, but the purpose is quite clear. Furthermore, every class has zone attack(s) designed for multiple enemies.
