Probably The Best In the Series
This game ironed out a lot of the issues with Might and Magic 6 making it a much more enjoyable experience. It's more streamlined and classes are more specialized. Skills like armsmaster give melee classes a bettler role, and healing spells are actually effective and don't just heal a sliver of health! The dungeons are nowhere near as elaborate as 6, but they also don't overstay their welcome as much. The card game Arcomage is suprisingly addicting and there's lots to see and do on the continent of Erathia. The story also ties in with the Heroes of Might and Magic series so fans of HoMM2 and 3 will feel right at home (even if the lore is very convoluted). Siding with Avlee or Erathia (or even achieveing independence) is also a nice touch, along with choosing a good or evil path. Overall while it is a bit tough to get into I think it still holds up. Going from absolute nobodies on a scavenger hunt to lords of Harmondale to legends is a great time and really gets that feeling of classic adventure and RPG progression. A true classic definitely worth checking out.
