Mordhau Review (Kubus Puchatek)
Back in 2019, it was like a ray of hope. Hope of not being like Chiv 1, having diverse gameplay and less cheaters.
What do we have 5 years later:
-same absolutely ATROCIOUS community
-same cancer combat abuses, though not being as extreme as in chiv 1
-same point at which some people have so little life that you can not tell them apart from a cheater
For your own sanity, please, for the love of god, only play this with friends, on your own server or find some people who will genuinely have fun with you. There are almost no people left here who still follow some sort of local "etiquette" or even having fun, not only playing "by the gamerules" and tryharding left and right. Last Epic community integration only made all things above WORSE by allowing previously banned d*ckheads to go back to the game.
Don't get me wrong - game is good and very fun. But it was tempered with by both players and devs to the point of being ridiculously unbalanced, thanks to some whiny high-levels.
Now you don't trigger your own bear traps, apparently because that somehow was a problem for your team, not because they are freaking blind idiots.
Now tier 3 (heavy) armour guy will chase you down while you are naked, because "duels were too long" and that was "not fun to chase people around", yeah, sure boss, now you almost killed one of the playstyles which actually rewarded some f*cking skill and not animation abuse or feint spam.
Now they boosted kick to the point of being "if you are sooo dumb that you can't win anyhow - press that button", preposterously fast and unreasonably high damage + thru block included, nice job
And as a nail in the coffin, at some point during updates they added an official servers rules. Which in practice means, even if you don't bother anyone or use exploits/bugs to win - you can get banned. Reason? Exploit = bad. THEN FIX THEM NOT USING TAPE THAT WILL BE BROKEN 24H LATER
Reminder, game was and maybe still is fine, community is mostly toxic and garbage. If you want some kind of swordplay - go and play Hellish Quart, Chiv 2 or even god damn For Honor if you for a bit more fighting/arcady style. Every spark of joy you will get here will be demolished by some salty 200 (like me) or their adepts. Thanks for taking your time to read through that dumpster fire of mine. Cheers ya'll.
