I'm looking the jump onto the Might & Magic series, I was told that the World of Xeen saga (IV & V) would be a good place to start. Can anyone vouch for this or any other chapters? Also if there any other similar games that could be recommended, I'm all ears.

Cheers.

IV is a good place to start and really easy to pick up and play.
Hell, I remember playing it while still being in primary school, not really having a clue how half of the shit in the game worked, and still managed to beat it.

It's a simple entry for starters. You get visual feedback and don't have to worry about too many things. 3 is fairly similar.
If you have a lot of RPG experience it may feel too easy in which case 1 might be more appealing.
The games from 6 onward have more complex game systems and movement is no longer restricted to grids so they seem like a larger challenge for absolute beginners.

M&M III is another option, it's comparable to Xeen and probably shorter.

I personally recommend starting with Might and Magic 3 which plays just like Xeen first.

seconded

was my first M&M and I loved it ever since

WoX has a bunch of minor improvements but I think Terra has slightly better world design and pacing
