So I was playing For Honor with a guy from these forums last night. Mostly messing around in duels. I turned my UI completely off in order to take some screenshots of the different maps, and it's actually really fun to fight without it. It does make everything more sweaty though because you don't know how much health you have left, so every hit counts. Plus you have to figure out which direction attacks are coming from, which is kind of a pain with most of the samurai and the assassin characters like peacekeeper and berserker. I think it also makes some things easier though. Like parrying and countering block breaks.
