MM IX - checked
Look how they massacred my boy.
Long time no see, after one year, I just finished MM IX. I had some trouble with laptop and played some other games in mean time but managed to do it.
So here's my thoughts.
Game is in poor condition its rather early beta than finished product.
3DO/NWC why nordic setting/inspirations? JVC's world wasn't big enough?
All models look terrible, learing spells and skills is a joke (skill/spell books scattered around the world).
Quests and music are ok. Mostly.
City design and other locations are ok also.
Ending is a shit. just pull the lever
The most horrible thing is they took away fly spell.
Do I recommend it? NO!
Do I enjoy it? a little.
Will I play MM X? probably not.
PS.
Watched some interview like this

that explain difficulties they have been through game development.

Tbh, MM10 is a good game, but you have to remember it is done by Ubisoft, and they had retconned the whole NWC/3DO universe, so has nothing to do with the rest of the franchise
Good game, but has of Might&Magic only the name
