If you haven’t played them before, you probably don’t know anything about them and chances are you won’t play them tomorrow. If you played the last one, you will probably play the next one. They are almost their own weird hybrid genre, and while I always applaud games for being their own thing, the Might & Magic series has become increasingly insular. It’s a very niche set of games that aren’t quite role-playing titles or full-fledged strategy games.
I like the Heroes of Might & Magic series, but it has never been perfect.
