Pros
Pro No prior knowledge of series necessary
Might & Magic X requires no previous knowledge of the series and is a stand alone story. Players new to the series will find everything they need to know about the game while playing.
Pro Old school turn based fantasy strategy
Harkening back to the series roots, Might & Magic X is a turn based strategy game set in the fantasy world of Might & Magic. Players are only allowed very rigid movements of forward, left, right and back while trying to traverse a set path that also only transitions to those directions.
Pro Hardcore gameplay that requires planning
Players need to design their team and micro manage their equipment in order to progress successfully in game. Food is need to even be able to rest, which means purchasing goods and managing them is a key part to the gameplay.
Pro Bleak yet beautiful music score
Composed by Austin Wintory, the musical score is quite beautiful and haunting.
Pro Great hand drawn graphics
The all hand drawn graphics are animated smoothly and are extremely detailed which makes for one heck of a good looking game.
Cons
Con UPlay
As one would expect no less from Ubisoft and their horrible UPlay DRM, many paying players have been locked out of their game experiencing crashes upon startup.
Con Not enough of anything here
Customization is lacking, gameplay depth is lacking, QoL improvements over the old predecessors are almost nonexistent. Even if you enjoy grinding, this game lacks personality from start to finish. Even the old M&M games had free movement outside combat. This feels like hard work. Turn-based combat is one thing, but long, boring walks in turn-based mode feel awkward and unnecessary.
Con Pretty difficult and uneven
The difficulty is sometime uneven with some battles being not to hard after one that was extremely difficult. Couple this with how difficult the game can be even on the easy setting and it is very apparent that the game will take some patience to complete.
