Might & Magic X: Legacy

Digitally Downloaded ( )

And there you have it. My first 5-star game for the year. Last year Ni No Kuni was a January Game of the Year contender in my mind. Up there is my ten reasons that Ubisoft has done the same with Might & Magic X this year.

Multiplayer.it (8.5 out of 10)

Might and Magic X: Legacy è il gioco che tutti i fan della serie classica e, più in generale, gli amanti dei giochi di ruolo hardcore, stavano aspettando. Impegnativo, ispirato e realizzato con grande sapienza, è capace di proiettare il giocatore nel cuore di un'avventura vecchio stile piena di segreti da trovare in dungeon labirintici e insidiosi. Certo, se siete più legati a una concezione moderna del genere e non sapete adattarvi a uno stile diverso, rischiate di finire presto a chiedervi come mai si muoia così spesso. Vi sveliamo un segreto: non è il gioco che fa per voi.

Eh, bugüne kadar gördüğümüz en orijinal hikâye değil, orası doğru. Ancak serinin son oyunlarında olduğu gibi fanteziden bilim kurguya kayarak başka gezegenlerden gelen kadim uzaylı yaratıklarla suyunun çıkartılmasından da iyidir hani. Kaldı ki oyun size vadettiği şeyi sunuyor fazlasıyla: Günümüze uygun şekilde elden geçmiş mekanikler, hoş grafikler, çözülecek bulmacalar, maceralar, fantastik yaratıklar ve geniş bir dünya... Eğer aradığınız şey buysa, Might & Magic X: Legacy hakikaten adı gibi serinin mirasına sahip çıkan, içinizdeki yaşlı oyuncuyu huzura erdirecek bir oyun olmuş. Ama aradığınız şey son dönemlerin aksiyonu bol, abartılı efektlerin parladığı bir RPG oyunuysa çok yanlış yerdesiniz.

Game Informer Magazine (8.25 out of 10)

Might & Magic X: Legacy lives up to the quality of its long-lost predecessors. Despite streamlining and accessibility upgrades, it’s not a game for everyone. Turn-based grid walks are a rarity today and the title may feel a bit bizarre to those that never had a chance to experience 90’s era Might & Magic fare, but for those that have always wanted a legitimate heir to the classic series, Might & Magic X: Legacy provides.

Might & Magic X: Legacy bietet schön umgesetzte Retro-Rollenspielkost. Das taktische, rundenbasierte Kampfsystem macht viel Spaß, die Charakter-Entwicklung ist abwechslungsreich und bietet Raum für schöne Charakter-Tüfteleien. In technischer Hinsicht muss man hingegen Abstriche machen, dennoch macht das kleine Entwicklerstudio Limbic Entertainment seine Sache bislang gut - die insgesamt 45 Spielstunden, die wir für den Test aufgewandt haben, boten überwiegend gute bis sehr gute Retro-Unterhaltung.

Joystiq ( )

The recent resurrection of the retro-style role-playing game is exciting for many reasons, particularly an increased variety of different, new games. But trying to create new "old-school" games has tensions of its own, notably having to balance old-fashioned RPG conventions – user-generated parties, a heavy emphasis on both combat and exploration – with modern conventions like accessibility and more detailed character stats and skills. Fortunately for the state of the genre, Might and Magic 10: Legacy manages to find that balance extraordinarily well, and could serve as a model for other games dealing with similar issues.

Anachronismus? Nikoli nezbytně. Desítka stojí na moderních nohách, a pokud vás vezme do minulosti, tak jen v tom opojném pocitu sžití se s družinou dobrodruhů, kterým pomáháte probít se za poklady, tajemstvími a samozřejmě nehynoucí slávou.

GameStar (Germany) (79 out of 100)

Bei aller Retro-Begeisterung muss ich nüchtern aber feststellen: So gut wie die früheren Serienteile (mit Ausnahme des scheußlichen Might and Magic 9) ist Legacy einfach nicht. Gegen das der Deluxe-Edition beiliegende Might and Magic 6 beispielsweise wirkt es wie eine Light-Auflage. Und selbst im über 20 Jahre alten Might and Magic 3 (das als Inspiration für dieses Remake diente) steckt noch ein Tick mehr Komplexität. Das macht Legacy nicht zu einem schlechteren Spiel, beileibe nicht; aber bezeichnend finde ich es trotzdem.

Vandal Online (7.8 out of 10)

Might & Magic X Legacy puede que no sea un título para todo el mundo, pero aquellos que sigan disfrutando del rol más clásico y quieran enfrentarse a un buen desafío mientras viven aventuras de todo tipo se sentirán como en casa viajando por este mágico mundo y luchando contra todos los peligros que esconde. Si bien se echa en falta un desarrollo más variado y su apartado técnico no es nada del otro mundo, al final sabe engancharnos, dejarnos satisfechos y recompensarnos por nuestros esfuerzos, algo de lo que muy pocos juegos pueden presumir a día de hoy y motivo más que suficiente para que merezca un poco de vuestra atención.

IGN Italia (7.8 out of 10)

Might & Magic X Legacy non è un capolavoro retro come alcuni si aspettavano, ma non è nemmeno un semplice esercizio di stile nostalgico assemblato in fretta e furia giusto per stuzzicare l'appetito di qualche retrogamer. Se mai, è una valida via di mezzo tra questi due estremi, con in più un mondo vasto da esplorare, una grafica bruttina, un sistema di combattimento profondo e una difficoltà davvero tosta e a tratti al limite del frustrante. Un mix imperfetto ma con un suo perché, e il fatto che costi 25 euro e che duri parecchio lo rende ancora più attraente.

Hooked Gamers (7.8 out of 10)

Legacy makes no excuses for paying tribute to its older siblings, even if it does not always choose the best relative for the job. The graphical style and restrictions when moving around are unfortunate, but not game-breakingly so. Arguments can be made for and against these choices but I can’t help but feel that emulating, say, Might & Magic VI would have opened the game up to a broader audience while being just as enjoyable. Those niggles aside, I have to say I had great fun playing Legacy. I am confident that anyone willing to spend more than a handful of hours with the game will find these issues but tiny hurdles that are easily overcome. Might & Magic X Legacy is not only a faithful tribute to one of gaming’s most lauded RPG series but also a solid, time devouring RPG.

Jeuxvideo.com (15 out of 20)

Might & Magic X Legacy est un jeu de niche. Elaboré et proposé comme un hommage vibrant au gameplay traditionnel des jeux de rôle qui faisaient rage fin 80 / début 90, Legacy a tous les arguments pour rallier à sa cause les plus nostalgiques des rôlistes. Dans la droite lignée des premiers volets de la saga, particulièrement respectueux des balises que Might & Magic a lui-même posées, Legacy est un titre résolument old-school, qui fleure bon le passé tout en conservant un pied dans la modernité. Malheureusement, le manque d'optimisations, les lacunes graphiques presque choquantes, les lourdeurs du gameplay qui gagneraient à être corrigées et le manque d'intérêt des quêtes gâchent le plaisir des retrouvailles. Ces dernières ne seront de toutes façons destinées qu'à un public restreint qui, lui, prendra incontestablement du plaisir à retrouver le challenge des jeux de rôle d'antan.

3D Juegos (7.5 out of 10)

Pese a los temores iniciales, y ciertos errores en su planteamiento de juego, Might & Magic X Legacy nos ha dejado con un buen sabor de boca. Porque hablamos de un título de corte clásico que destaca por su profundidad jugable y lo desafiante de su propuesta. Además es largo, está plagado de secretos y nos ofrece una gran libertad de acción para explorar sus contenidos. Aunque se ha hecho de rogar más de lo deseado, y en ciertos aspectos se ha quedado algo corto, por fin podemos gritar ¡Might & Magic está de vuelta!

Meristation (7.5 out of 10)

Might & Magic X: Legacy no llega al nivel de los juegos que homenajea. World of Xeen era un juego más complejo, denso y ambicioso, con un mundo más rico y más abierto. Pero tampoco sería justo echarle en cara a Legacy que no sea tan bueno como una de las cimas de la saga. Este es el primer juego de un estudio novel en el género, así que el resultado es muy bueno en su propia medida si nos olvidamos de comparaciones. Por otro lado, es difícil evitar comparaciones ya que a fin de cuentas el juego es un homenaje a esa época y su principal mercado son precisamente los nostálgicos de esos tiempos. Para un jugador más casual, el movimiento por turnos en el eje x/y clásico será algo extraño y confuso. Hay que tener cierta mentalidad para disfrutar de lo que ofrece Legacy, pero en general cualquier interesado en el rol clásico disfrutará en gran medida de él y lo reconocerá como lo que es: una valiente y sorprendente interpretación de un tipo de juego que ya no existe en el mercado.

Lazygamer (7.5 out of 10)

Might and Magic X: Legacy is an uncompromisingly old school trip into forgotten territories. It’s a risky move, but it’s one that should attract plenty of gamers who want less new school action and a more cerebral roll of the dice in their RPGs.

IGN (7.3 out of 10)

Might and Magic X: Legacy marks a welcome break from the contemporary focus on story-driven RPGs by delivering gridded turn-based combat that largely works. The approach doesn't work as well in the exploration of the open world, unfortunately, and the experience as a whole suffers from optimization issues. But as an old-school dungeon crawling experience that doesn't shy away from punishing you for errors, Legacy usually delivers.

PC Gamer (73 out of 100)

Spiritually, Might and Magic X can be neatly summed up in its first real conversation, when the captain of the first town's guard jokes "Don't worry, I won't send you to go kill rats in a cellar," and then without irony presents a quest called "Spiders In The Well". It's a deliberate and careful throwback to the hack-and-slash RPGs of old, in a style even its own series hasn't done since 1993's Darkside of Xeen - the fifth game, and hardly a cutting edge one even then.

IGN Germany (7.1 out of 10)

Das klingt alles aber weitaus negativer als beabsichtigt, denn schlussendlich bleibt es euch überlassen, wie ihr die verschiedenen Aspekte des Titels gewichtet. Nachdem ich mir meine Meinung zur Hintergrundgeschichte und der Optik gebildet hatte, konnte ich ohne Umschweife in die zahlreichen Verliese stürzen, ohne mich allzu lang dem ganzen Drumherum aufzuhalten. Wenn man diese Aspekte nämlich von der Liste streicht, erwartet euch mit dem aktuellsten Ableger der Might & Magic-Reihe ein Rollenspiel, das seinen Wurzeln treu bleibt, wenn auch manchmal zu sehr.

Game Over Online (70 out of 100)

While I like tough D&D games which push my adventuring party to their limits, it’s grating to randomly wander into a room and have my team killed in two hits, even if resurrection is just a load screen away. I’m annoyed even more going down into a dungeon, having half my party members killed, and having to traipse all the way back out to the nearest town for resurrection (no teleport spell?) when there is zero chance of encountering anything of interest on the way (at least Wizardry had random monster encounters) and then back again to where I left off. So I guess I’m still looking for that perfect old-school D&D experience, something that pays homage to the way those games used to play while at the same time integrating some newer gaming facets to smooth over the roughest edges and sharpest corners of the old gaming world. M&MX is not that game.

MMGN (7 out of 10)

Might & Magic X: Legacy is not for everyone. It’s combat-heavy and story-light, and can be a bit rough around the edges, making it so dissimilar to popular RPGs of today that the modern gamer might be completely disillusioned playing it. However, through the good and the bad, Might & Magic X: Legacy is an excellent modern rendition of a genre lost to age and time, and will douse you with heavy amounts of nostalgia.

Eurogamer.de (7 out of 10)

Ich kann absolut verstehen, wenn ihr euch nicht mit Hürden wie den eingangs beschriebenen aufhalten wollt, sondern ein flüssigeres Spielerlebnis sucht, wie es zum Beispiel ein modernes Spiel der Marke Witcher 2 bietet. Might & Magic X: Legacy versucht das nicht einmal. Es ist trotz seines geschliffenen Interfaces genauso sperrig, borstig und kratzig, wie es die Spiele waren, an denen es sich orientiert. Es eröffnet aber auch die Chance, die Liebe zu diesen Titeln neu zu erleben, als lägen keine zwei Jahrzehnte dazwischen. Ich brauche das nicht jeden Tag und nicht jedes Jahr. Aber von Zeit zu Zeit ist es wie der gute Teil von Weihnachten: Es ist warm, wohlig und ein wenig nostalgisch, und das trotz alledem, was es immer auch ein wenig anstrengend macht.

Gamer.nl (7 out of 10)

Zoek het woord 'old-school' op in het woordenboek en er staat waarschijnlijk een plaatje bij van Might & Magic X. Gamers die zijn opgegroeid met turn & tile-based RPG's krijgen precies wat ze zich herinneren, inclusief technische mankementen. Nieuwkomers vluchten waarschijnlijk voor hun leven.

Eurogamer.nl (7 out of 10)

Limbic Entertainment is duidelijk zelf fan van het eerste uur en heeft met Might & Magic X: Legacy een liefdesbetuiging aan de klassieke RPG gemaakt. Voor een spannende nieuwe insteek binnen het genre kijk je beter ergens anders, maar voor veteranen die verlangen naar een fijn stukje nostalgie is de game een lekkere snack. Houd echter wel rekening met de ruwe afwerking en een verder weinig originele spelwereld. Ben je daar tegen bestand, dan vertoef je net als ik al snel meer dan 60 uur in Ashan.

Spazio Games (7 out of 10)

Non è facile tirare le somme di un gioco come Might & Magic X: Legacy. Si tratta oltre ogni ragionevole dubbio di un’operazione nostalgia, ma di quelle oneste. Le meccaniche di gioco, la grafica e il ritmo fanno riferimento a un tempo che ormai è passato, e gli elementi più moderni si contano sulle dita di una mano. Eppure, con il trascorrere dell’avventura le sensazioni si fanno sempre più buone, fino a farci rivivere qualche momento che credevamo di avere dimenticato. Il segreto sta nel superare le prime ore, e nel turarsi il naso di fronte agli evidenti e fastidiosi limiti tecnici di questo gioco. Amare Might & Magic X: Legacy richiede tempo. E tanta fiducia.

PC Invasion (INC Gamers) (7 out of 10)

A bit buggy and a bit uninventive, but a loving, enjoyable tribute to RPGs of olde.

Měli jste rádi dungeony ze staré školy? Baví vás prozkoumávání temných kobek, řešení hádanek, tahové souboje a bohatý rozvoj postav? Pak je MMX vyloženě pro vás. Subjektivně jsem se u Legacy dobře a dlouho bavil, objektivně musím hodnocení oseknout kvůli technické nedotaženosti a neodladěnosti.

Eurogamer.it (7 out of 10)

Un comparto grafico tecnico spartano e mal ottimizzato e un gameplay complesso che non fa sconti ai giocatori dell'ultima ora, impediscono all'ultima fatica dei Limbic di essere consigliata a prescindere, ma coloro che hanno amato Legend of Grimrock o i primi dungeon crawler, non dovrebbero lasciarsi sfuggire questo piacevole tuffo nel passato.

Eurogamer.net (UK) (7 out of 10)

Might & Magic 10: Legacy feels like a pleasant throwback to dungeon crawls of decades past, but its limited scope and combat-heavy focus might put off those pining for the freedom afforded by the more recent Elder Scrolls games, or the wordy character interaction of a Dragon Age. Nonetheless, for those keen on poring over stats and comparing colour-coded loot, it serves as a modern introduction to those games' precursors, delivers a heady blast of nostalgia, and preserves a little slice of history.

RPG Site (7 out of 10)

Might & Magic X: Legacy’s homage to older games of the iconic series is sure to please fans of old-school dungeon crawlers, but others may be put off by its open-world style and rough difficulty. Legacy has plenty to offer those that dig into the world, but only yields rewards to those that fight tooth and nail through each and every battle. While the game does provide some small mercy in the option of choosing a pre-made, balanced party, but beyond that the player is left on their own, and the lack of direction can steer gamers away. All in all, though, this game is both a homage to previous Might & Magic games and a faithful continuation of it... and that means it comes with all the ups and downs the franchise is known for.

RPGFan (70 out of 100)

So I had some fun, but not often enough. After that initial blossoming of New Game joy, after each fight has required the same strategy for two hours and the dungeons are getting longer and more monotonous, Might & Magic X has nothing with which to bargain for my time. That being said, if you adore the franchise, have exhausted your collection of hardcore CRPGs, and can tolerate long stretches of tedium, you might have more fun than me.

RPGamer (3.5 out of 5)

Tile movement in towns and horrendous slowdown outside are a major drag. Class, skill, gear, and attribute options are great and the freedom to create whatever you want is a boon. Dungeons are fantastic, well-planned, and fun. If the game was designed and coded to maximize the enjoyment of dungeons, Limbic could have structured the outdoor areas like smaller, linked dungeons and avoided many of the drawbacks. There are some minor weaknesses that can be written off as part of being old school or part of being a budget title: there's almost no voice acting, the background music is passable, and despite a deep, fleshed out lore and setting, the story isn't worth mentioning. The end result is a title that should appeal to fans of the series while enticing newcomers and gamers who weren't born in 1986, but large technical flaws and a drop-off in difficulty keep it from being the throwback gem it wants to be.

Nivelul2 (7 out of 10)

Deşi evocă un sentiment de nostalgie, Might and Magic X: Legacy pare un joc incomplet, cu o poveste prea puţin dezvoltată şi un gameplay nefinisat. Fără NWC la cârmă, seria îşi pierde din farmecul unic, în ciuda efortului depus de Ubi.

4Players.de (70 out of 100)

Das Vorhaben, die ruhmreiche Rollenspiel-Serie von Jon Van Caneghem aufleben zu lassen, ist leider nur eingeschränkt gelungen. Denn das deutsche Team von Limbic hat sich zu weit in die Vergangenheit bewegt. Ich mag rundenbasiertes Vortasten und taktische Kämpfe. Aber vom hervorragenden und der Deluxe-Version beiliegenden Teil 6 ist man weit entfernt. Viele Elemente bleiben oberflächlich oder schöpfen erst spät das Potenzial aus - ganz egal ob man die Technik, die anfangs kaum eingesetzten Rätsel oder Fallen, Kampfablauf oder die auch langfristig schwache Interaktion mit der Umgebung betrachtet. Dank der umfangreichen sowie kostspieligen Charakter-Entwicklung sowie der zwar spröde erzählten, aber interessanten Geschichte, macht das Rechenpapier-Rollenspiel mit automatisch gezeichneter Karte dennoch Laune. Für Einsteiger oder ein gelegentliches Spiel zwischendurch ist Might and Magic 10 daher genau das Richtige.

GameOver (Greece) (7 out of 10)

Το Might & Magic X, λοιπόν, δεν αποτελεί τη διθυραμβική επιστροφή της σειράς που όλοι περιμέναμε. Έχει κάποια προβλήματα, αστοχίες και κυρίως, ιδιαίτερα χαμηλό budget, που πραγματικά δεν αρμόζει σε ένα τόσο μα τόσο ιστορικό franchise. Από την άλλη πλευρά όμως, μαζί με το Legend of Grimrock, αποτελεί την καλύτερη επιστροφή στη χρυσή εποχή του PC gaming που θα μπορούσαμε να έχουμε. Η Limbic Entertainment δείχνει πως, αν και αναγκάστηκε να χρησιμοποιήσει τον κόσμο του Ashan και να δουλέψει κάτω από πενιχρή ενίσχυση, πραγματικά αγαπούσε και προσκυνούσε τη σειρά. Επανέφερε καλογυαλισμένα όλα τα στοιχεία που την έκαναν αγαπητή, κράτησε τα σωστά, αξιόλογα επίπεδα δυσκολίας που άρμοζαν στα παλιά παιχνίδια, το γέμισε μέχρι τα... μπούνια με Easter egg-αναφορές σε παλαιούς τίτλους, και το έδεσε με έξυπνο old school χιούμορ που θα σας κάνει να χαμογελάτε τακτικά. Είναι ένα παιχνίδι παλαιάς σχολής, για σκληροπυρηνικούς gamers από σκληροπυρηνικούς gamers.

Games Arena (7 out of 10)

Might and Magic X Legacy este un început. Ai secrete, ai obeliscuri, ai ghicitori, ai butoaie din care poți bea (dar nu fântâni) ai atât de multe elemente ce făceau Xeen să strălucească, dar asta erau cireașa de pe tort, nu fundamentul. Este totuși o bază pe care se poate construi ceva mai bun, ceva mai amplu. Înțeleg de ce are unele neajunsuri, de ce sunt acolo, n-au avut cum și când să facă ceva mai amplu. Altele, în schimb, sunt doar decizii nu foarte bine de design. Poate astea vor fi rezolvate atunci când vor lansa editorul, deoarece jocul are suport pentru modificări. Momentan, are nevoie de rafinament pentru a fi un joculeț bunicel. Vă încurajez să îl încercați, în special dacă sunteți un fan. Personal, sunt dezamăgit de multe aspecte, dar tot vreau să aibă succes, pentru că vreau să văd jocul ce va urma după acesta, ce va exista doar dacă va avea succes. Pe alocuri, Might and Magic 9 e un joc mai bun, sau măcar un joc mai Might and Magic, dar mă bucur că există.

Games TM (7 out of 10)

Legacy doesn't convey the greatest of first impressions, but the more you explore of the game's venerable interior the more you find yourself falling under its spell, to the point that upon its conclusion you may find yourself seeking out its forebears before pining for the next Elder Scrolls.

Computer Bild Spiele (2.5 out of 6)

Diese 90er-Jahre-Party ist ein ganz großes Fest für jeden Rollenspiel-Fan. Die Entwickler haben sich alle Mühe gegeben, das klassische Spielgefühl in all seinen Details einzufangen und gleichzeitig mit neuen Ideen zu überraschen. Statt atemberaubender Grafik und unzähliger Zwischenfilmchen bietet Might & Magic 10 knallharte Kämpfe, abwechslungsreiche Aufgaben und unzählige witzige Anspielungen. Da ist es nur konsequent, dass das Spiel nicht nur als Download, sondern auch als „Old-School Deluxe Box Edition“ im dicken Karton für rund 30 Euro ausgeliefert wird.

VentureBeat / Gamesbeat (65 out of 100)

Might & Magic X: Legacy certainly did remind me of fun times I had in the past with earlier entries in the series. I even had fun for several hours. But once the nostalgia wore off, it served as a stark indication that many of these design choices should have been left in the past with its predecessors. What good is a fully 3D world when you can’t touch or interact with hardly anything? What sense does it make that you can’t run away from an encounter in which you’re clearly outmatched (or even move once you’re in melee rage, for that matter)? These glaring issues, combined with a general lack of polish, make for an experience that just doesn’t live up to my fond memories of Might & Magic. In the case of video games, we have numerous good reasons that they aren’t made the same way as we did 20-plus years ago. Sometimes nostalgia just isn’t enough to conquer outdated or bad design.

XGN (6.5 out of 10)

Uiteindelijk is Might & Magic X Legacy een leuke game geworden voor de mensen die hunkeren naar hoe het vroeger was. Het vechtsysteem is ondanks zijn hoge moeilijkheid erg sterk en het raster sluit hier goed op aan. Ook is er veel mogelijk wat betreft het bouwen van jouw personages en zul je de gehele game bezig blijven met het afstemmen van alle vaardigheden. Maar buiten dat heeft het spel niet heel veel te bieden. Het grid voelt heel gedateerd aan wanneer je de wereld om je heen wilt verkennen en het gebrek aan een duidelijk doel en verhaal maken het niet beter.

GameWatcher / Strategy Informer (6.5 out of 10)

It's important that people don't rush into buying the game from blind nostalgia without some idea of its not inconsiderable technical deficiencies. However, I still enjoyed my time with the game, no matter how gleefully it tried to stop me doing so. This is a genre that, Legends of Grimrock aside, you just don't see nowadays, and it's undeniably good to see it making something of a comeback. Exploring ogre caves, elemental temples and naga towers with my intrepid band of badly optimised warriors still somehow managed to be fun, despite the chugging performance and irritation of grid-based overland movement. If you can look past these blemishes there's plenty of fun to be had with Might and Magic X, but it could have done with a lot more polish.

Absolute Games (AG.ru) (60 out of 100)

Студия Limbic почему-то решила сделать не хорошую игру, а игру ностальгическую. В Legacy заложен огромный потенциал, но вместо того чтобы раскрыть его в современной форме, ее авторы обратились к наскальной живописи.

Gamereactor (Finland) (6 out of 10)

Niin kauan, kuin tämä puolivillainen hirviö on olevinaan valmis, en suostu antamaan sille arvosanaa, jonka se oikeasti ansaitsisi. Se on sääli, sillä tunnelmassa ja tarinassa ei ole säästelty ja taistelusysteemi on timanttia. Seuraavaa tämäntyyppistä peliä joudutaan todennäköisesti odottamaan pieni ikuisuus. Limbic, korjatkaa tämä peli! Se on sen ansainnut.

GameSpot (6 out of 10)

Might & Magic X: Legacy is a somewhat successful trip back in time to an era when RPGs were both simpler and more complicated than they are today, and a lot more demanding of players when it came to combat. If nostalgia drives you to visit this particular kingdom, you'll not likely regret the time spend there. If your good old days weren't brimming with games of this nature, it's more difficult to appreciate the take-no-prisoners challenge and overlook the limitations.

Gamereactor (Norway) (6 out of 10)

For oss som vokste opp med Might & Magic så har det en nostalgisk sjarm å se igjen de gamle kjennemerkene, men sjarmen forsvinner etter hvert. Mye av magien mangler og det gjør at vi blir veldig bevisst på tannhjulene og hyssingen som holder alt sammen.

God is a Geek (6 out of 10)

Despite visualizing my Dungeons and Dragons fantasies amazingly well, Might and Magic X Legacy has too many pitfalls to truly recommend it. Things start off poorly with the information-heavy prologue and get worse with the grid-based open world and poor story. The combat system certainly deserves some plaudits, as do the dungeons and enclosed spaces, but cheap tactics and technical issues even mange to put a downer on these highlights. Hardcore fans of old school western RPG’s may have a good time, but the majority will find it confusing and uninspired.

The Digital Fix (6 out of 10)

Might & Magic X - Legacy has the potential to be a fantastic and challenging party-based RPG in the style of old games from the genre. It is more focused on exploration and combat than it is on story. There are some weak presentation issues that hold it back a little and unfortunately, intolerable performance issues that are a fatal blow. Based upon the first part of the game, which saw thorough testing via the Early Access beta, Might & Magic X - Legacy was on track to score much higher but the poor performance in the later game compromises it significantly. If and when Ubisoft address these issues in a patch, the game will be easy to recommend to any gamer of a certain age looking for a nostalgia trip. Until then it should be avoided by all but the most patient players with high end gaming systems.

GameOn (6 out of 10)

Might & Magic X Legacy is difficult to recommend. Clearly, the game has been designed as a homage to the retro RPG, and in this it succeeds entirely. However, this comes at a price, as when replicating everything enjoyable about the old-school, Limbic Entertainment have simultaneously duplicated the old flaws of those same games. With artificial difficulty spikes, lacklustre presentation, and the presence of complicated systems with no explanations offered, Might & Magic X frustrates as often as it entertains. It is the best, and worst, of an old generation.

Gameplay (Benelux) (59 out of 100)

Een beperkt, slordig en verouderd excuus van een RPG die alleen dankzij occasionele opstootjes van nostalgisch spelplezier een beetje zijn gezicht weet te redden. Dan nog liever M&M IX.

Riot Pixels (58 out of 100)

В общем, если хочется нырнуть в прошлое – не кормите халтурщиков, купите Might and Magic 6-pack. Впрочем, ещё можно подождать народных умельцев – Legacy «из коробки» поддерживает моды. Авось перепилят как следует.

Gameplanet (5.5 out of 10)

Might and Magic X: Legacy highlights more about why these mechanics were left in the past rather than what made them so magical in the first place. A lukewarm effort unlikely to engage traditionalists, and very likely to alienate newcomers.

Metro.co.uk (5 out of 10)

The character customisation options are excellent and the battles are certainly highly tactical… They’re also unfairly difficult and far too long-winded. Low rent graphics and sound, too little loot of any note, and almost non-existent storytelling. Too many superior alternatives.

Eurogamer.pl (5 out of 10)

Might and Magic X to niezbyt udana próba powrotu do korzeni i wykorzystania sentymentu graczy do kultowej niegdyś serii. Rozgrywka opiera się na rozwiązaniach z pierwszych pięciu odsłon, zupełnie ignorując kierunek, w którym cykl ewoluował od 1998 roku. Przedstawia niewielki, mało interesujący świat i fabułę tak nieciekawą, że równie dobrze mogłoby jej nie być wcale.

Gameblog.fr ( )

Plein de bonnes intentions, Might & Magic X n'en reste pas moins un jeu à la réalisation un peu trop pauvre et au gameplay sympathique sans plus. Un gros problème d'équilibrage pourrait bien soit vous stopper net, soit vous laisser progresser sans challenge, ce qui n'est tout de même pas banal. Ce revival d'Ubisoft, déjà tout juste sympathique, aurait bien besoin d'un patch pour convaincre les vieux joueurs (qui n'ont plus la patience d'autrefois).

Rock, Paper, Shotgun N/A

Presentation is the main issue here, and my suspicion is that M&MX hasn't enjoyed a particularly generous budget in that regard. It's an uneven experience, populated as much by frustration as it is by triumph, but it feels technically solid and is appropriately enormous and secret-filled. It's a framework for adventure, and I wanted that more than I realised. I do wish its producers had gone "screw it, let's go full text rather than burn time and money on a tiny handful of crap gag-laden dialogue that we'll play over and over again", I wish it wasn't populated by NPCs who offer pointless and entirely unexciting lore-balls but perform no other function, and I do wish it opened up right away, earlier Elder Scrolls-style, instead of starting off as a charmless prison by any other name.

Diehard GameFan N/A

Might & Magic X – Legacy certainly lives up to the name. It’s all about the legacy. It’s a throwback to the days of old, when dungeoneering was a painful learning process. They systems in play are old school, often to a fault. Drab visuals, generic story, and forgettable music don’t do the game any favors either. Still, this kind of game has its audience, and they will surely love the unforgiving nature and brutal difficulty. If that’s not your thing, you won’t enjoy this game. If it is your thing, well then enjoy this trip down memory lane.

Diehard GameFan N/A

Might and Magic X: Legacy is the sort of game that’s aimed at a specific audience like a missile, and that audience (genre fans) will absolutely love the game, as I did. Everyone else, however, will likely have to wade through archaic design choices, technical flaws and pacing concerns to derive joy from it, and that may simply be too much for them in the end.
