Critical Reaction
The critical reaction to the retail version of Heroes V has been generally favourable, with an average review score of roughly 79%. Positives that have been mentioned include appealing 3D graphics and music, a random map generator (which was added in the expansion) and gameplay faithfulness to the traditions of HoMM III, the most successful game in the series.
Noted negatives or disappointments include: sluggish (online and network) multiplayer modes, cheating (receiving extra resources each turn) and poorly coded AI, a number of minor bugs, spelling/grammar mistakes, too few maps and a simplification of the combat engine. Some of these problems have been fixed by patches and the expansions.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reaction:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
“More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
