Gameplay

53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Still, as a sandbox and concept, it was superb, and I always rated it far higher than the actual game experience I got out of it.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Master of Magic is neither - the lowest difficulty ("Intro") is good for learning the game on the fly, and then you can start bumping up to higher levels.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Spells add a new dimension to combat - a well-placed and powerful spell can upend the odds in a lopsided battle, for example.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love all the new content additions, balance tweaks, bug fixes, and extra options for starting new games!
