Yeeah. Got the same feeling during the spring, when Heroes III celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Still one of the best games ever.

Very good. Still, V was a lot better.
NO.
Could I love both? Like I love all M&Ms without discrimination (9 too!)?
Damn, after what Ubi did to Heroes 6 and 7, I have some love to spare even for widely controversial HoMM 4.
Ok, zoomer, but can you love THIS as a true M&M fag?
I like 6. I like 4. It's very hard to mess the basic formula, even though Ubisoft sure tried it.

One of my favourite things back in 2000 by the way.
Also best Souls-like game after Blade of Darkness)
Sorry, Dark Messiah is where I draw the line.
Tyranny is so bad that this is Might & Magic thread now.
That's a magnificent treehouse tbf.
I agree here if we are talking about OST.

1 is like 2 but worse in every way possible maybe apart from hilarious creature sprites (dragon and phoenix
), why would it be worse that 3?

The thing with the Heroes series is that they are all basically the same (excluding 4), the difference is how much bullshit is added on top of the original formula. 3 and 5 are the most bloated and inelegant design-wise, 5 is badly documented on top of that. Heroes 4 tried to get away from it all and I think it makes the most sense along with adding badly needed quality of life changes like caravans. We had a whole thread about it.
I haven’t played 4 yet, but 3 massively improves the gameplay and rightfully expands on the mechanics of 2. 2 is quite shallow.1 is like 2 but worse in every way possible maybe apart from hilarious creature sprites (dragon and phoenix

All of them are shallow (except maybe 4) due to some questionable decisions regarding how tactical combat works. 3 is just the best at convincing the entire Slavic population it's something more than it is because bloat is being confused with complexity.

4 had the horrible voice acting though, didn't it? That's a dealbreaker for me.
