Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - PC

I'm stunned.

Its amazing. I don't even think "amazing" is a powerful enough word. The fact that a game series as good as Might and Magic is keeping up and using an amazing physics engine is great. My parents loved the Might and Magic series but I was a bit young and uninterested in the gaming world. When I finally got into it and tried to play the Might and Magic series, I felt along in the world. Everyone else I knew either didn't know a thing about the series or they weren't interested. That is until I found out about Dark Messiah. I have been a big fan of the Half-Life series and the step they took using the Source engine. I combinded the idea of Might and Magic and Half-Life and it brought hope to my Might and Magic deprived heart. When I saw the screens and trailers for DM, I instantly knew this was going to be one of those rare games that gets my attention all the way till release. Thats exactly what it did. I played the demo, which fueled my excitment, and signed up for the beta. I worked on my computer, making sure it was up to marks for the game. I preordered the action and couldn't wait for it. When it got here, I contained myself till I finally got it up and running smoothly. The full game was more than I could have wanted. I almost felt like I should pay extra for it (almost). The AI is good, the environment is amazing, and the storyline is OK (but it was deffinetly not the focus of the game). Once I had finished the game, I wanted more, so I played again only taking everything in a different angle. It still provided an exciting experience. The multi was just as good. The crusade mode is an interesting feature where you follow a storyline of maps depending on your teams wins and falls. Teamwork is essencial and each class has the potential to take down another (despite what some people say). Leveling, skill developing, and map progression give the multi an overall objective unlike others where you just want to kill your opponent. Even though I think its great, others have said that DM is off to a rocky start. Don't be intimidated by this. The community is bound to build on it and create maps, mods, and many other fun features. Don't be left behind until everyone is already into it and your lost in the back. Even if you don't want the game, don't say its an overall bad game. The game is the beginning of a new generation of RPGs and FPSs. Join the excitment.
