Top 10 UK Sales Chart: For Honor Holds Off Halo Wars 2

GTA 5, FIFA 17, and Sniper Elite 4 round off the top five.

27 Comments

Ubisoft's medieval fighting game For Honor maintained its position at the top of the UK physical sales chart for the week ending February 25, holding off competition from new release Halo Wars 2.

Microsoft's strategy game finishes at No.2 in its debut week, with much of the remaining top 10 places filled with familiar games: Grand Theft Auto V continues to chart well at No.3 while FIFA 17 comes in at No.4 for the third week in a row. Sniper Elite 4 drops from No.2 to No.5 in its second week on sale to round off the top five.

Now Playing: For Honor Video Review

For Honor's performance this week follows a strong critical reception in the days after launch. GameSpot awarded the game an 8/10 in our review; Matt Espineli said the game offers "some of the most satisfying multiplayer melee fighting conceived in recent years." For more, check out our full For Honor review. Halo Wars 2, meanwhile, launched this week without a ranked multiplayer mode. Reviews for the Xbox One and PC-exclusive RTS title were mixed, with GameSpot critic Kallie Plagge saying the game "runs out of steam quickly." You can more in our full Halo Wars 2 review.

One of the major issues with the game is the lack of fixing the hacks out for it, auto block was out for the beta and it's still not fixed.

@TashunkoSapa: Nioh... Got to number 2. Yakuza 0 got to 8, but still... Cracked the top 10, which is good for what is a fairly obscure game.

Good news for Ubisoft.

I’m somewhat surprised Halo didn’t take the top spot despite it being more of a “spin off” type game in the franchise but #2 is still a good first week debut (I’m sure the developers won’t see it that way, lol.).

Another nice surprise (at least for me.) is seeing Resident evil 7 still in the top 10. The game has been out almost a whole month and we know in this industry how fickle people can be with games that aren’t either brand new or are not part of the vocabulary of the “mainstream” (namely GTA, Mario, Pokemon, etc…). I’m sure the glowing reviews and positive word of mouth have helped it stay in that coveted top 10 arena.

It will be interesting to see this list next week as we have some juggernaut releases (Horizon Zero Dawn.) as well as a new piece of hardware dropping in the form of the Switch as well as all the games that go along with it (Zelda.).

I thought Halo Wars 2 would be on the 6th spot because... well, you know why.

Didn't expect to see Halo Wars 2 to be number 2 spot, that's very impressive and glad Xbox One/Windows 10 owners are enjoying the game, not really a RTS guy but at least it's getting goody reviews. As for, For Honor, it looks dope and probably won't bother buying it in the future but nevertheless, congrats for winning number 1 spot!

Next week's top 10 should be Horizon: Zero Dawn winning the top 10.

@davillain-: Lol, I'd say Zero Dawn after GTAV. Game's a monster. It got to number one in the UK recently, even though it's coming up on four years old.

@domiddian: Horizon will definitely be No. 1 by next week, GTA V will overtake it though eventually when Horizon sales slow down.

@xhawk27:it is a fact that you can buy power therefore , pay 2 win by the very definition, people have covered this extensively on youtube and have provided evidence to support this claim.

Didnt expected For Honor to be praised that much. The single player mode is a joke,it feels just like a lenghty prolog to the multiplayer mode,the heart of the game. No epic story about samurai,vikings and knights,the single player mode feels like an afterthought,tacked on after ppl raised their concern this game is only another online only arena game.

I secretly really wished to have big stories about those nations and their most known fighters...i am really dissapointed

@sladakrobot: I feel you on that, I really hoped the devs would make an epic story, if anything the cutscenes looked epic, but I still hold out hope for story dlc (slim as that might be), the gameplay is super addictive though, disappointed at some of the reviews, this game deserves 7.5 and above even with all the issues it is having if you ask me, for me a game should be judged by how engaging it is, I see myself playing this game for a long time
