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 Holds up incredibly well
Titan Quest is over 10 years old now, and it is still widely played. It even saw a remastered "Anniversary Edition" in August of 2016, drawing in more players, old and new.
Pro You can choose the speed you want to play at
Titan Quest is unique among ARPGs in that you get to choose the game speed. You can be a leisurely player and take things slowly, or you can go hard and play the game on very fast settings. The fact that you get to choose adds another level of enjoyment to the game.
Pro Replayability through different classes
There are a plethora of classes that open up upon leveling to the second level, once one is chosen the others will be gone for that game session. This means that a different playthrough will be needed to explore what all the different classes offer, making for quite a lot of playtime.
Pro Lots of loot to find
There is quite a lot of loot in the game to be found, which drives the player to continue playing, just to find that better weapon or piece of armor. The loot is also color coded when dropped, making it easy to discern what is worth picking up or leaving behind.
Pro Tons of customization
There are 30 different classes of characters to choose from within the game with 150 character skills that they can learn. This way users can customize their character to their liking and playstyle.
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 Combat feels a little static
Con Save anywhere does not save character placement
This means that there will be some retreading of areas once a save is loaded as the character will not be in the same place as where they were left off. This will waste time and can be frustrating having to do this every time you load the game.
Con Disappointing loot at later levels
Even when the player has reached a high level, they will often find loot meant for low level characters. This can be frustrating when trying to find better gear and just adds a lot of clutter to ones inventory as the majority of items found won't be that useful.
