Might & Magic: Clash Of Heroes - Definitive Edition review: return of the match-3 king?

Mighty difficult Having not played either the original or the HD remaster, I obviously can’t speak to whether Dotemu have made any substantial changes to the balancing of the AI in Clash Of Heroes here. But man alive, I’d almost argue that this is the game that should have been called Grindstone, because eking out a victory in these 15-20 minute battles is sometimes like pulling actual teeth - and it will repeatedly whomp you into next week if you don’t keep pace with its story missions by completing various side scuffles and bounty contracts - all of which are just as difficult and challenging as its critical path....

Remnant II review: fast, brutal combat meets procedural dimension-hopping in this ambitious sequel

Like a phoenix Remnant IIhas a lot of moments that will make you say things not appropriate for children’s ears. Then again, given the mild horror themes in many of the levels and the general terror the excellent enemy design invokes, you probably shouldn’t be playing it around kids in the first place. As a fan of this sequel’s predecessor,Remnant: From The Ashes, I had my hopes set unreasonably high, and not only has Remnant II completely met my expectations, but it also kept messing around with what I thought Ishouldbe expecting....
