I have played several homm games and have loved and played out all of them. I was looking for a game that I could play off and on like the other homm I have player prior. I have been playing this for a few days and I just can't bring myself to play it any longer. I find it dull and the game play is slow with the quests confusing, directionless, and pointless.When you are not in combat it feels and looks exactly like warecraft 3 solo. You are constantly turning angels to get a better view and every mob you have to run away from while attempting to click it to see if you are any where near ready to take it on and it gets wearing when you have to do this every time. Take a wrong turn? Congrats you were just wiped out by an impossible group. You can either save the game every 5 minutes or take it in the chops. If this is what is considered challenging, I'll pass. I read all the reviews and got excited based on my past homm but I didn't even make it past a week of light play.
