Generally, I played the fourth game the most – much more than the other parts. And, accordingly, I liked it more. Firstly, the graphics are beautiful compared to the third game, and I don’t like the maps in the fifth part. But in the fourth game, the maps are picturesque, and I really want to send my hero on his horse across them. The combat system is more well-thought-out and interesting. As Thorimdark said, the combination of skills and its development is a very interesting thing, although all the heroes lost their individuality because of this. Instead, the developers wrote a kind of biography for each hero – here you can see the efforts of the authors and their soulful approach to the task. In general, it’s a very atmospheric and interesting game (the main emphasis is on conducting battles, so the developers probably didn’t finish the cities properly).
