Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion]

The gameplay is indeed worthy. But no matter how much I look at the fifth installment, I don't see any reason to call it the fifth. There's a game – Heroes of Malgrium – the gameplay is like Heroes. But is it really Heroes? The spirit is completely different, a different world, different rules. The same goes for the fifth installment. A different world, different rules, a different game. It's not the fifth, but rather, let's say, Heroes of New Worlds, or something like that. The fourth was set in a new world, with a radical change in gameplay, and yet it's worthy of being called part of the Heroes universe. But the fifth is quite self-sufficient. The developers themselves have disowned the past, everything except the brand. But the brand is not Heroes. That's how it is.
