Early gameplay review**

At the time of writing this, I only had ~2 hours in the game.

First off, yes. The graphics aren't as good as VI, but the game mechanics are better overall. They also brought back some factions that were missing since III or IV (can't remember the version that last had Academy)

PROS:
* Simpler interface, more reminicent of the old versions (read: < HOMMV)
* By far the most intuitive hero leveling system to-date
* They really went back to their roots. It feels more like a pre-Ubi version of the game

CONS:
* To Be Determined

As I progress through the game, I'll update this review.

BUYERS REMORSE INDEX:
3/10 -- The only concern I have is the graphics aren't the greatest, but that's actually one thing I love about it.
