Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It was good but there are just too many updates to the game. It was good the way it was and now it's just a bit too streamlined and 'automatic'. Also the HOMM feel disappeared in a recent update when they decided to just have text blocks…”
“there seems to be too many mechanics to the point where they are all unimportant and are mostly glossed over leading to uninspired game play.”
