The use of the right analog stick in For Honor that chooses the direction of defense and attack adds a layer of complexity in this combat system that makes it unique and interesting. (bitcultures.com)
The game controls just as you'd expect it to with the left analog stick controlling movement and the right controlling your lasers. (psnstores.com)
Personally, I didn't like default controls that this game uses and would recommend switching to an alternative (aiming with analog stick) option. (metacritic.com)
