This is the game that Might & Magic IX was trying to be. The mini-map quest-tracking system is very confusing and does not work well. Similarly, character development stops at around 80% of the story (if you occasionally do side quests) as you are close to lv25 (I finsihed the game at lv27), you can possibly struggle at economy but it swiftly goes away after the mid-game, there isn't really not much to explore or 'grind' around the last quarter of the game, which is okayish.ĥ. Puzzles are nice and well-balanced but some are quite annoying.Ĥ. I finished the game with hard difficulty and since the mid-game I basically have not encountered any challenging battle, my team could simply grind through the game, the final boss Yadis took me only 5 minutes without causing any damage to the team. Game suffers a weak prologue partly due to the ugly models and optimization issues (really low frame rates in the city as well as many areas), it really takes time for some players to get used to such graphics in 2022, I guess it was already an issue back in 2019 as I could not even bear it upon its release.ģ. Graphics could in general use some work to be better.Ģ. I would however just pinpoint some issues:ġ. Music, combat and story are simply nostalgic and well-executed.
