You keep tempting me in to reinstalling Foundation. Sounds like I should wait another two weeks. Tempt me again then...

Copy that. Or you could reinstall it now so when the update comes you'll be readyLordMortis wrote: Mon Jan 20, 2025 7:47 pm You keep tempting me in to reinstalling Foundation. Sounds like I should wait another two weeks. Tempt me again then...
I'm in a similar spot with Songs of Conquest. I didn't think I was going to like it but the pixels don't bother me like I thought, and the gameplay is enjoyable. I haven't gotten very far either, but it was fun to play a map or two recently.Skinypupy wrote: Mon Jan 20, 2025 8:39 pm After playing a couple rounds of the HOMM 3 board game yesterday, I picked up Songs of Conquest on a whim today for PS5. It's a surprisingly good HOMM 3 clone that is far more fun than I expected it to be. It's very similar, but has just enough differentiators to set it apart and make things really interesting. I'm generally not a big fan of pixel graphics, but these are very well done and the core gameplay is solid.
Very early on, but two early thumbs up (doubly so if you're a HOMM 3 fan to begin with)
i didn't know about this one til just now, so i got it for my brother on GOG as an early birthday present (and for some reason it was on sale for $12) https://www.gog.com/en/game/songs_of_conquestBaroquen wrote: Mon Jan 20, 2025 10:46 pmI'm in a similar spot with Songs of Conquest.

It's not any busier than HOMM3, and is pretty easy to grok once you get a sense of which objects are interactable and which aren't. I had that all sorted by the end of the tutorial mission.LordMortis wrote: Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:41 am Those screens look awfully busy and I'm over the overly pixilated art trend. Still, I put it on my wishlist. $12 is tempting but if I'm not going to play right away it's just throwing $12 to the wind and I quit doing that some time ago.
