There aren't all that many games that have done fantasy turn based strategy very well, but III and V does it very well. That's not really saying much though.Īlso I disagree with above poster that the praise of the series is just because of nostalgia goggles.

It is at least not quite as buggy and bad as 6. Some say Heroes 7 is better, but I haven't really enjoyed it that much, myself. Steer the heck away from Heroes 6, broken buggy game on all levels. Which is a shame because V is easily my favourite in the HoMM series. Its barely playable for me still but framerate can drop into single digits, which obviously isn't very enjoyable. And by modern I mean anything after Windows Vista.

I would recommend HoMM V, again with the expansions, unfortunately it has severe performance issues on modern operating systems. If you want to test it out though I think the classic complete version is the way to go instead of the HD remake on Steam, which only has the base game with none of the expansions. HoMM 3 is a really old game that has aged pretty well, imo.
