I was especially fond of M&M 6 7 and 8 as a kid. I have also played the most recent, 10, which while different and flawed in many ways, was still good enough to be enjoyable. I have also liked things like Wizardry 8 in the past.

I did try to replay 7 recently, but I thought that it has not maybe aged too well as the combat was too grindy for my current tastes.

Can anyone recommend something similar perhaps?

    I bought Might and Magic 8 and brought it home. There was only the play CD and no install CD. Never been so disappointed when buying a game in my life. I bought the game during a trip and couldn’t easily return it.

    TLDR: I love Steam

      Legend of grimrock cannot be paused, can it?

      I had seen it getting played, but somehow I think this turns me off. Optional pausing for issuing commands would be perfect, but real time only would be too stressing I believe.

      But I’m willing to try if recommended enough.

    I haven’t been able to find anything that quite scratches the same itch but you might want to try might and magic merged, which combined 6 7 and 8 in a fairly fun way, fixes a few of the issues, and rebalances the game to not be quite as grindy. It’s a mod running off the mm8 engine.
