   Nice long and motivating campaign containing all 6 factions (haven, sylvaner, dugeon, stronghold, necropilis, academy), offering up to 125 creatures, 100 spells, 60 hero abilities to master and really beautiful 3D graphics (unreal 3 engine). With the return of townviews (in calssic 2D) and again 7 resource types as well as interactive maps and a lot of multiplayer options (online, LAN, hot seat and skirmish) plus an editor there´s so much time to sink in thsi great strategy fgame that I wish I had a few weeks of holiday left....
   A must buy!… Expand

   I have played Heroes since #2. I like all of them. So consider me a "fanboy".

   I'm not a shill; I have no affiliation with Ubisoft or Limbic or any of the developers. I also have played M&M X and loved it.
   
   I've played through Uplay and have had no problem with it. I played HMM6 & MMX via Steam/Uplay and had no problems with that.
   
   I'm not sure why some people have problems with launching the game or other computer related problems. I have a medium type computer that's almost 2 years old: Win 8.1, i5 4570, 8gb, GTX 770. I run the settings at max. I'm running this game from my hard drive and not my SSD. No horrible load times, maybe 30 seconds.
   
   I gave this game a 10 due to the fact that I always play the single game scenarios/skirmishes first, before I play the Campaigns. I check out the mechanics before I judge a game like this. The campaigns are always buggy at launch of a new HMM.
   
   Simply put: This is a GREAT HMM game!
   
   The "one more turn" syndrome is here!
   
   I really like (but not love) the graphics. But what do you expect from this type of game?
   
   The main issue I have at this point is the sound. I have to turn my speakers up way past what I would normally have to put them at to get the sound level where I want it.… Expand

   I like the over-all look of the game, it's more similar to Heroes V which makes it easier to understand for me. Levelling the heroes was a bit confusing, but eventually I understood how it works. I like the new town building system. Al turns were very long in the beta version. The music in-between turns is a bit strange, it felt a little bit like circus music, too happy and not dramatic enough. I like the 3D towns in HoMM V, a bit disappointed they didn't bring it back. But considering all that, the game is better than I expected and I enjoyed playing it.… Expand

   - leftFor me, it feels like, that they shipped a pre-beta version. So many gameplay bugs for example:
   - AoE magic placement is bugged
   - left click, right click, sometimes game see no difference between them.
   - battle animation bugs
   - no music change, and no battle sounds in battle
   - city build tree: random reallocation of "building buttons "
   - after game restart config reset to default
   - after finishing mission 1 and exit(seen "video", back to campaign map), the game forgets, that i finished that map, so i had to load from last turn
   
   Sad facts:
   - no "video" intros, just static pictures (back to 90`s)
   - Heroes 6 looks better, more colorful
   - Hero leveling: after 20 min game-play, both heroes reached max lvl or the map. The mission took me 2-3 hour to finish.....
   - the battles are boring, good thing we have a "fast battle" button
   - OP skills and useless skills in skill tree
   - units are unbalanced: core units very-very weak compared to elite units; pointless ranged units(so low dmg)
   - SLOW and boring
   - etc.
   
   This game is bad. Do not buy it. I`m sad that i pre-purchased it.
   I played with all HoMM games. I liked all of them. Even the 4th one.
   This game, its current state is bad. Buy HoMM 6 or 5, they are cheaper, nicer and better.… Expand

   I have played all Heroes games, I like some more than the other, but I have found something interesting in all of them. I love the series.I have played all Heroes games, I like some more than the other, but I have found something interesting in all of them. I love the series. Except Heroes VII. Do not buy this game. Why?
   This game is still in early development state, it is basically an alpha version: there is missing content, there are placeholders, there is no general style, there are lacks in design, some level are just sketches. And bugs... there are so many bugs you can not often play.
   This is not a totally new game, it has reused all assets they could from Heroes VI: units, buildings, resources, music, sounds, UI, illustrations - there is not a single moment when you are not watching at least few assets from previous game.
   This game has moved the series backward in very bad meaning. All good ideas from Heroes IV to VI are gone, but the game is still nothing like Heroes II or III. They get rid of most units abilities, so most of the differ only by few statistic points. They have limited a role of a hero on a battlefield. They have flatten all strategic layer of the game.
   Playing in hot-seat with a friend was annoying because of bugs and boring because there is no depth. Playing campaigns was terrible, because of uneven level of completion of each scenario, really bad voice acting and horrible cutscenes.
   If you are a diehard Heroes fan (like me) do not buy this game. If you simply can not resist wait at least for 2 expansions and buy it on sale.… Expand

   WARNING!!! Total garbage dont buy!!
   
   They no longer care about making a quality game. They just want the quick fast buck. Heroes 3 & 5 wereWARNING!!! Total garbage dont buy!!
   
   They no longer care about making a quality game. They just want the quick fast buck. Heroes 3 & 5 were by far the best games in the series. When Heroes 6 came out, it was obvious that they didnt care! They regressed! Some of the BEST features of Heroes 5 were now gone. Most importantly was the 360 degree camera and no sim turns. Here I was excited for them to actually improve on sim turns and make them better.. I was hoping they would make sim turns so they didnt break at all during game.. But instead of making the game better, they got lazy and just removed it. Same for the 360 camera which is also MISSING from Heroes 7. Again just to lazy to code it back into the game??
   
   Another disgusting trend they have been doing is only releasing HALF of a game that includes only half the factions, then expecting you to pay more money to buy the other half of the game to gain access to the rest of the factions. That is like years ago when I seen trucks on the car lots with no back bumper. And when I asked where the bumper was they said it was not part of the standard package that I had to pay extra to get the bumper???? Are you kidding me???
   
   Most frustrating part is seeing ANY customers paying for this garbage. I wish everyone would boycott them and make them wake up and take pride in the games they produce.
   
   They only ever focus on the stupid campaigns and never put more then 5 mins thought to multiplayer at all. For years players have been offering ideas and input on how they want to see the Heroes game evolve, and they NEVER listen. They must think they know what is best for a game? Well obviously they havent got a clue.
   
   I have no choice but to wait and hope and pray that they care about Heroes 8!… Expand

   Other issues:

   I seriously want my money back.… Expand
