First impressions of Heroes VI. Popular unrest.

I don't know where people saw very good graphics; in my opinion, it's even better than in the 4th installment, considering the time of release and its significance. There's nothing to compare it to with the 5th game.
The screen is cluttered with icons, and the combat system is cumbersome, as mentioned above. The progression is unnecessarily slow; essentially, a hero learns only one spell after several thousand experience points. What was taken from the 4th game and is useful is undoubtedly the hero without an army. Everything else is essentially a reworked version of the 3rd game.
