Disciples III: Renaissance is a pretty, but relatively shallow experience. Exploring the world is fine, but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. The combat system can turn into a repetitive ordeal, though it is entertaining at first. It also seems...

How convenient: almost everything we loved about the Heroes of Might and Magic games – a franchise that was sadly run into the ground many years ago – has finally been cribbed note-for-note and dumped into the latest installment in the...

You’ll spend a lot of time in this game, mostly wondering what you’re doing spending a lot of time in it. An amalgam of role-playing and turn-based strategy, Disciples III: Renaissance is truly a renaissance game in that it’s a departure...
