The latest expansion pack has been released. Now, certain things are clear.

I wasn't planning on starting a H3 vs. H5 debate here. If you're tired of discussing which game is better, just don't write about it. I didn't write about that, or maybe you misunderstood me.
I'm talking about this: many people say something like: "The second and third games are classics and have a great atmosphere. The fourth game is just not the same. And the fifth game has that atmosphere again, and even better." Examining the continuity of the fifth game showed a small amount of "original" heritage and a lot of borrowing from other game projects. Therefore, I don't understand what "that" atmosphere many people are so enthusiastically talking about. I don't see or feel it.
I'm addressing people who are "in the know," i.e., have played various fantasy games, can see the differences between them, and recognize analogies in individual elements.
