How is this game ? Someone already played ?

I think best of whole serie is Might and Magic 6 but i hope they can make good game even now.
Imagine "Might and Magic III", just with less than half of its content, without Pathfinder, Mountaineer and all the similar skills with very slow character progression, cumbersome resting mechanics and overall tedious gameplay with 2 (!) DRMs on top of that, requiring very good PC for somewhat acceptable performance (we speak about tile-based pseudo-3D here) and...

This game fails to resemble what MM series are about - vast worlds, freedom of exploration, nigh unlimited character progress, perfectly optimized engine. In fact it is completely opposite in all of these aspects.

Oh wait, real Might and Magic X was never made. Series ended on IX, which was like best game in the world in comparison to what I described above...
I agree with Sarisio. The game was a huge disappointment for fans of the might and magic series. Most of the people that never played the previous games loved it. At least that's what their message board implied.
I agree MM6 was my first and from all the others was best for me.Probably i should play earlier games and then i would change my mind :)
anyway i will surely try MM10

All of this is true, but the game is not bad in itself.
I like M&M X alot. I like it more than M&M6-9 simply because it features grid based movement. But that's a matter of taste.

It has a pretty amazing combat system. Every single battle is a fight for life and death. The char progression system is fairly easy to understand and the graphics are pretty good. It also has pretty many neat insider references to all the previous Might&Magic games.

Downsides of M&M X are that it's fairly linear, even inside dungeons there is usually not much to explore apart from a few secret doors that lead to a treasure chest. Another one is that the game is quite buggy, expect to get stuck somewhere forever because UPlay doesn't properly patch your game. Some skills are also quite bugged, but I guess that's M&M tradition.
I actually enjoyed MMX. But i would see it more as a stand alone game, not connected to the MM Series. If you compare it with the likes of MM3-7, well.. MMX is very modern in like every way. The game holds your hand, you really dont have that much freedom of where to go(at least if you play on Hard). And in gameplay terms its sooo slow. But give it a try, its actually a decent enough game!
I like MMX. It is its own game. Things will remind you of old Might and Magic, especially 3 - 5. It might not be as magical, but I felt like it has a good vibe.

There are things I don't like about it. As one example, low level equipment has literally useless bonus stats. When a noob item gives you +1 resistance, it's counts as some obscenely low flat percentage bonus (like 0.2% per point). Those types of bonuses only become relevant once gear starts having higher stats later on.

The DRM thing is stupid and I don't fault anyone for skipping it for that alone. Sad but that's how they did it. I am happy with my purchase, though.
I liked it quite a bit. Not perfect by any means, but I wouldn't mind seeing what the team at Limbic would do with a bigger budget and a more expansive scale.
Its trash. Plain and simple. The only Might and Magic about it is the logo.

try MM3
Why is Lord Kilburn in MM10 anyway? He died in MM6.
I played it, and liked it. It felt MMish to me, but it has been a while since I played any of the original 9. If you get it on sale ($8.50 on Steam right now) I think it's worth it.

The best thing about it was it shows the studios' willingness to return to the original grid based movement and RPGs. While it may not be the best game ever, it's certainly a decent stand in until they commit again.

It definitely requires returning back to original MMs to reevaluate the magnificence of MM series.
Features of MM games, which basically define the whole series:
1. Big world, which can be traversed how you want (fly, climb mountains, etc.).
2. Paradise for powergamers with very high level caps and tons of loot.

MM10 doesn't fit this criteria, FAR from it. Game is small, overworld is tunnelish, there is no respawn, which heavily caps characters' level (AND you can break your characters because you don't know which skills you might need, you can't simply gain couple more levels to fix mistake). Its mechanics are extremely tedious in comparison to what real MMs have to offer.

They simply made some very generic and badly optimized dungeon crawler and labeled it "Might and Magic".
I played MM10 but it is really not very good - strange spells, strange character progression, pure linear progress, boring characters - many textures and grafics are used more times in game :C and used from other Heroes games - elves ect.

Hope some other studio will do MM11 :O
