You’re thinking mord.
Yes, missing a block should kill you depending where the attack lands.
That’s what chivalry gets right.
You get hit in the head, its gg for you.

The mechanics are just gimmick, and it’s way too fucking slow.
I guess you never played it, but bushido blade was a ps1 game where you play as samurais, it was a fighting game, but one slash could kill you.

Meanwhile for honor has a stupid Simon says gimmick and moves way slower than absolver.
Sorry finesse, for honor is absolute shit.
