About Might & Magic: Heroes VI

A quite disappointing entry in the Might & Magic series. Outside the game looks pretty decent, but when you get to play it, it's just not that good. Most obvious flaw is the voice acting (or dialog writing and voice directing), but it extends to graphics (if you just bother to use the zoom function), story writing, UI design, and so forth. The somewhat expected change in design (probably changed with every game except expansions) is mottled, good in places and bad in others and the basic gameplay is the same as it always was. But in the end, the game just feels cheaply made sequel.

There are some changes to basic concepts of the series' gameplay, most notably the perk system, but it does not redeem the game's other flaws.
