Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Review — Unfrozen Spent 27 Years Studying Heroes 3 and Built the First Sequel That Actually Understood the Assignment

“The first Heroes of Might and Magic game in 27 years that doesn't need to be graded on a curve. Six honestly-distinct factions, a richer combat system, and a civic-policy layer that fixes Heroes 3's late-game tedium — held back only by Early Access growing pains in two factions and an unfinished campaign.”
