Game itself still holds up, and the community has never been bigger. With new fan made expansions on the horizons, this game is worth it. I've played many games, but nothing comes close to HoMM franchise at all. It's unique, and despite other games being good in their own right, I still, to this day, return to HoMM 3. Now with VCMI, playing the game on modern systems has never been easier.
