Dark Messiah of Might & Magic only remotely links to the Might & Magic universe, but otherwise, as a dark fantasy action game with a few role-playing elements, it works quite well. I played it from start to finish, choosing the "good" option (saving the human female instead of sacrificing her and getting cozy with the succubus), but what I remember most about that game are the huge dungeons with lots of empty spaces that required lots of grappling hooks and rope-swinging in order to traverse them. I'm glad I experienced it, but replaying it would feel a bit too much like borderline punishment.
