I am very pleasantly surprised by the storytelling, the general experience, and the simple mechanics of the game. It is probably that fact, that it is not overly complicated, that made me dive in and recollect the countless evenings with HOMM 3. The game goes beyond though. The interesting game mechanics of different troops and map heights, make the battles not so much repetitive. I am very fond of it, as a very infrequent gamer. * it works for me on my M1 mac, in contrast to the other review.
