Playing Mordhau just reminds me how good MB is.

Honestly, I loved MB when I played it a decade ago, and I still love it. The melee system is simple, but deep. Not like Chivalry or Mordhau which introduced all these complicated, stupid, things like feints and morphs. MB has these mechanics, but they aren't deliberate, they're simply a facet of the base system.

I like that MB allows you feint into your block, as opposed to these games, where it feels more like Street Fighter than a medieval combat game. MB never tried to force you to memorize animation timings or when to feint or morph, it just let you play.

I hope to play Bannerlord soon, because I miss playing a good melee game, built on fundamentals, instead of cheese.
