Does the repack have downsides? Sure. The cinematics are often heavily compressed (looking like 240p YouTube videos), and you have to manually install the "1.02" patch sometimes. But for a game where you spend 95% of your time kicking orcs into fire, who cares about a grainy cutscene?
If you’re looking to revisit one of the best first-person combat systems ever made, the repack of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic remains one of the most stable and compressed versions available for this 2006 cult classic. Why this version? Dark.Messiah.Of.Might.And.Magic.Repack-R.G.Mechanics
