Discussion about Heroes 4.

I might be repeating myself (I think I wrote this somewhere before), but the release of the third game went almost unnoticed for me. Unlike the fourth game, which I anticipated from the announcement until its release (if I'm not mistaken, it was about three years(?), or maybe even more), then I bought the first disc I came across (a pirated copy, in English) and played it non-stop for a very long time (almost as much as the second game, maybe even as much). This game (again, unlike the third game) fully lived up to my expectations, so I really don't understand the complaints of those who hate the fourth game. How can you criticize a good game just because it's not like the previous one? In my opinion, this is nonsense (at the very least), and most likely a lack of knowledge about the subject you're talking about. That is, (again, in my opinion) those who criticize the fourth game probably just didn't play it properly.
P.S. I ask fans of the third game not to be offended, as I have nothing against this game (except that it is quite derivative after the second game and by no means the pinnacle of the genre, as many believe, but just a refinement of previous mistakes).
