I seduced the nuns and they gave me their treasure. Would seduce the nuns again. 10/10
i just finished the game a couple of minutes ago and i have to say it is quite the achievement. when it comes to games i'm a total sucker for atmosphere and story and this gem has it in bucket loads. it really manages to hit that blade runner-itch through its stellar vangelis-esque soundtrack (think those moody synth-saxophones). combine that with a hard-boiled noir detective and a capturing story with some nice twists and turns and you have gemini rue. thank you joshua nuernberger and wadjet eye games!
honesty first: until now, i have never played HOMM3. now, after 13 years of not picking it up i finally did. and it's a blast. to be honest, i think it's actually the perfect time to start playing this game because in the current state of the gaming industry, not having to solely mash [insert random button] to progress couldn't be more refreshing. and that's over a decade after its release. this is a game you actually have to LEARN by playing it. it has deep, complex mechanics, full of tactical finesse and it is harshly unforgiving. in a good way. plus, for me as a seasoned gamer (yes, it's been over 20 years now that i touched my first C64/amiga/NES etc.) this brings back memories of what i used to love about games. the richness. the worlds you could get lost in for ages. not because of shiny graphics, cutting edge CGI, motion/speech control and all that. but because it featured well developed gameplay that made you coming back. come back to learn. comeback to beat its mechanics. not beat its x-button. however, for me this game actually has shiny graphics. thank you gog. i will be playing this one for the next 13 years, making up the lost time since its release.
