And there is also nostalgia here, as it was my first Heroes game. The campaign especially stands out to me, the succession war is still the HoMM campaign I remember the best. But Heroes 2 has its own charm, the art style is very unique and charming. Less factions, less creatures, less spells, worse balance. In many ways, Heroes 2 is simply a worse Heroes 3. The campaigns are very good, espeically as your hero has an extremely powerful special ability, which makes it a joy to play. Overall, it's my 2nd favorite game of the series due to the hero system and the overall very good execution of the Heroes formula with their own ideas added to it. Presentation wise, it hasn't aged that well and looks worse than Heroes 3 nowadays. It has a better hero system than Heroes 3 and the battles play out differently due to the new initiative system as well as the change to square battle maps. Heroes 5 comes in 2nd in amount of content. Overall, it deserves its spot as the best HoMM game ever made. The modding scene is quite big and you can get some nice new experiences with HotA or WoG. Only a couple of secondary skills are quite useless.
Most content (factions, creatures, spells, heroes), for the most part fine mechanics. Nice graphics, which hold up to this day.
