As for gameplay, that is where Heroes 5 really starts to shine.

Heroes of Might & Magic 5 on one hand is a great game, it does justice to the Might & Magic franchise and freshens up the formula a bit, but the story... oh man, the story.

Updated 6/29/2022: This game still works perfectly on windows 10 and 11 while using an AMD 5600 graphics card.
Combat

23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you're into tactical combat, kingdom-building, and fantasy worlds that actually feel alive, Heroes of Might and Magic V is a gem that never stops giving.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

V is much more engaging, with more contextualized voice acting and even some tense moments?
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are all memorable to this day, partly because the cast is fairly small and distinct from each other, and the heroes seem to radiate a believable charisma where I could imagine how an army of hundreds of Paladins and Angels would charge under Godric's banner, for example.
