Has anyone played this? Would you recommend it? Is it still bug ridden? Is there a DRM or can you play it completely offline?

the game is fun enough
DRM was removed a year ago

internet is only needed to activate the game when you install it
earlier this year, the 2.1 patch had issues for players on steam

i had to re-activate the game via steam but otherwise no problems

Thanks, I was thinking of getting the Complete Edition set. Including the xpak, there's only 6 factions?
I wanted 5 until I saw the cartoony graphics was worse than 4. And peasants? They were a waste of gold and space in 2 so why include them in 5?
i like 6 better than 5 but that doesn't say much
amazon has the whole series discounted 1-5

Tyvm Nadia! Most if not all of those games were sold from the UK, will they work on NA computers?
Also, has Heroes 6 Complete Edition been released in NA yet? I've only seen digital downloads for sale and I've read too many horror stories about purchased games disappearing from people's accounts.
i live in usa and bought both collections from amazon this year
the Heroes 5 collection worked for me on system 7 (w some tweaking)
I didn't have any issues w Heroes 6 collection beyond having to activate it twice on Steam
Amazon has the download version of 6 but Steam will accept the keys if bought off amazon
