    It may lack the mods and extra content you can find in other editions, but we believe that's not the point at all. This is an HD edition of the best game in this franchise and by looking at it this way we love it today as we loved it when it initially came out.

    As with Avernum, HoMM3’s sheen has not been dulled by the vitiating properties of time; instead, its unique blend of roleplaying and strategy is just as alluring 15 years on.

    This is mostly an unnecessary remake of the fantasy strategy classic. The improvements are minor in the graphics and nonexistent elsewhere, except for the multiplayer mode through Steam and the tablet versions, which might be the game's biggest selling point. The game itself is still gold - PC gamers should just consider if the old Ultimate Edition bundle, with expansion packages already included, is a better investment. [March 2015]

    Remastered or not remastered? That is the question. This new edition of the best game in the HOMM saga adds a lot of new multiplayer features, but the gameplay is still the same, and the fact that all the expansions are missing is unacceptable.

    For a moderate increase in price, you end up getting a lot less in terms of content.

    This is the old masterpiece with less content and higher price.

    It is, in no uncertain terms, a waste of money.

    1. It's a game from Ubisoft without Uplay. Perfect!

    Worst. HD. Remake. Ever.

    Yeah, there is nothing much to say: they just downgrade heroes 3 series to one first DLC (Erathia). No    Worst. HD. Remake. Ever.

    Yeah, there is nothing much to say: they just downgrade heroes 3 series to one first DLC (Erathia). No map-generator, no custom maps. Only bugs (check the bug-list first patches of old H3 and u will find all those bugs in HD version) and soap, lots of soap!
