Excerpt: "The Training mode is quite possibly the most fleshed out and interesting tutorial of any game I’ve played. It gives you the training you need. But rather than it be a dull experience to learn how to play, this is the way that back story is told and are given context as to why you’re training. You’ll walk out of Training with a clear understanding of the game’s mechanics and be ready to spill blood. You can also create an offline game to practice with bots, while they aren’t the smartest of AI, they will kill enemies and often get in your way or attack each other for no good reason – so it replicating a real multiplayer battle exactly.
Body location damage plays a major role in the game, so much so that there are specific area damage. When slashing an enemy with a sharp weapon, you have the chance to amputate an arm or a leg or simply sever a head from the body. From the receiving end, the camera will stay at the head and you can watch as your own head rolls down a hill. It’s disturbing and amazing at the same time. Blunt weapons have more of a tendency to crush skulls and push shielded warriors back."
