I enjoyed M&M X the most so as the last game released that obviously gets my vote.

M&M VII

M&M VIII could have been a good title if it had full party creation, the overpowered party members and dragons sucked

I enjoyed M&M X, but did it feel like a true M&M game? Not really

Does M&M Merge mod also use MM8 party creation?

Well, it uses the MM8 party creation *interface*, but you get to create all 5 characters if you wish.

I find even vanilla MM8 better than MM7. More dungeons per map, more quests, more colours...

Exploration and find hidden companions is one of the best part of MM8. Create a full party sounds nice until you realize that very part eliminate the necessity to get other characters to join your party. Aka the necessity for other characters.

I love IWD series, but I never get blinded over the fact that we dont need other joinable NPC, if any.

I love the Might and Magic series. The last one that I thoroughly enjoyed was 8. Thats not to say 9 and 10 didnt have any merit. But, if they stopped making Might & Magic at 8, I feel that would have done the series justice. I can't say that about 9 or 10.

How about the series box art? Might be my favorite ever.

X was good so the answer is obvious.

 

[ropetight]

I enjoyed VI the most, who can forget their first Amrageddon cast on city because they suddenly started attacking you, completely unprovoked.
And I loved masters of skills quests - they were hard to find, not easy to complete, and changed the gameplay dramatically (i.e. mages with staff mastery became defensive powerhouses) - not just stats upgrade.

VII was good evolution in almost every sense, so that is last decent entry for me.
After VII, things startes to water down, they moved in wrong direction.

7 had terrible dungeons and a boring railroaded evil/good campaign. The way they changed the class system made the game worse as well.

 

[Luzur]

Hmm, well i loved MM1-5 so those get my vote all day long. But MM6-8 was a-ok and fun to play.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

A new M&M was supposed to be underway by Ubisoft Shangai. Probably got axed in the recent cancellation spree.

Legends of Amberland.

 

[Aarwolf]

MMVIII

6/7/8 aren't even the same type of game, might as well be a different series

Going to need a citation on that. I've played 6&7 and they are so alike 7 feels like an expansion.

Edit: disambiguation

[Intelligence] What Rusty apparently meant is that 6-8 are very different from 1-5.

And which are the actual M&M games?

 

[octavius]

One can argue that MM 6-8 are not real blobbers. But to say they are not real M&M games is silly.

They're not real M&M games.

They belong in the mainline series as much as dark messiah.

I've played 2-7 & X, and the consistencies across the series are too numerous to list. Replacing the grid-based restriction with more fluid exploration was an upgrade.
