Might and Magic® 6-pack Limited Edition

I first played this years and years ago, picked it up as a repackaged "classic". I have played it through many times since and in my opinion is the best game is all the (Heroes of) Might & Magic series. Why this game is good: 1) The amount of content is quite amazing. Along the lines of Baldur's Gate 2. Everywhere you go there is an interesting dungeon or quest to do. It is also quite a decently sized game. Unlike M&M7 which felt a little short. 2) Unbalanced fun. Before later games made all the balance and design changes it was like this. The power levels of mage characters is boggling at high levels, yet you won't stomp through enemies, they are equally powerful. Even when you get the secret weapons and can mow through dragons it still feels fun. The balance just feels quite fun by mid-late game. Also by very high levels you won't even deign to walk any more :P 3) Graphics hold up ok. While the game uses sprites + simple 3D terrain that honestly looks ugly, the resolution is enough that it is playable without feeling "small" like some other older games. 4) turn based combat :D. The combat is hard, press enter to slow it down, it makes a huge difference. Not like modern games that dumb it down enough you don't need a pause function. Problems: 1) make sure all characters start with bow skill. The first roughly 8 levels you can't punch through a wet tissue. Also be prepared to visit the temple for healing a lot. Once you get past that hurdle the game becomes great. 2) Ugly graphics, as I said, the resolution should be fine, just the sprites are jagged and ugly and the world shows the polygons clearly. The game is great, a lot of fun. Also by writing this review I feel like playing this again, it's that good!

MM6 party. Paladin Archer Druid Sorcerer. Trust me.

I was about 6 I think when I first played Might & Magic 2. I had the black and white version for Macintosh, and that game is why I learned to read. Of course I gravitated toward classics such as The Hobbit, and always had an interest in things like D&D. Another game that I played around this same time was called Realmz I think? It looked more like the Heroes of Might & Magic series which I never played. The original Might & Magic games still hold up to this very day and you can see their influence in games that are still popular such as Etrian Odyssey by Atlus. I haven't purchased any of these games from GOG to be honest, I just wanted to give this a good review because I guarantee that if even just that 1 game is in this bundle of 6 games then this entire package is worth the money. I had no idea you had these games or that they even still existed! Do I want to play the original Might & Magic games and see how they progressed? You bet your GOGs I do! I'm now 37 and would likely appreciate a lot of the stories and things that went over my head as a kid. One of my favorite things about the game was being able to create your entire party of 6 characters and name them and everything. I thought that was so cool and nothing but the Infinity Engine games has really compared to that ever since. I must admit there are several RPG's I've not played and have been putting off for a long time, such as Divinity Original Sin 2 just off the top of my head... I've been depressed and there are just too many freaking games that exist now lol... It's difficult to keep up with them all. Sometimes I really just want to bury my head in the past and feel nostalgic and excited about something like Might & Magic... I'll be getting this in December now that I know you have it. I don't even care if I have to pay full price.

Please do that now.

I'm still going back to this game and always play it to finish and it still is a wonderful and compelling game, extremly rewarding with a well built world which allows hours of play. The soundtrack is beautiful and creats a great atmosphere. A game I will always recommend.
