    It’s okay. I love the idea. The side characters are well written (other than Snape) and a brilliant story but the reason I rate the game a 7 no 9 or 10 is that the Microtransactions ruined the game for me. You have ‘Energy’ points which gets lower by doing things in the game. And if you run out of Energy you have to wait like 2 hours to get more or you could buy Gems with real money to buyIt’s okay.

And this would be fine if you had more of it to start with but you have a very small amount (I think it’s 25)… Expand

    Could have been much better! Might as well just make the game cost money! Cash grab! It still has fine gameplay though and it does look fine:

    O Jogo tinha muito para ser INCRÍVEL, no entanto, a espera e toda enrolação no próprio jogo é enjoante e entediante.

    The gameplay is linear as heck. Like seriously, there isn't anything to do except complete story missions, which can be annoying since it also pretty much has no gameplay whatsoever. The energy system is also annoying, it ruins every game. The only thing that makes this game kinda enjoyable is the plot and options to progress through it. Other than that, this game doesn't offer much fun.

    Considero que el juego presenta una muy buena historia y jugabilidad entretenida. Jam City hace un esfuerzo tremendo para mantener el juego a flote y lo hacen muy bien.

    ¡Ojo!, no digo que el sistema de energía me guste, pero para las personas ocupadas es un descanso para el jugador. Tiende a tornarse adictivo también. Personalmente no lo estoy jugando ya por un tema de espacio y de    Considero que el juego presenta una muy buena historia y jugabilidad entretenida.

    GODDAMN ENERGY SYSTEM, this game is not about GAMEPLAY, it's about Story, the game could be better of course, it's a nice game, made with love, been constantly actualized, but there's some issues in this game that i cannot ignore, like i said first, DAM ENERGY SYSTEM MAN, a cool e relaxing game, but don't take it seriously, it's like a fan-fic game, but with the seal of Wizarding World.

    Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has no magic. It has no fun. It almost has no game. It is a blatant money grab that soils this likable universe. If you want more Harry simply go back to one of the books or movies. There is nothing for you here.

    More slot machine than it is video game. If you have oodles of cash you want to throw away then give it a look; otherwise, steer well clear.

    A complete and utter disappointment, and not a good start for the Portkey Games label. The game fails to take player choice into account in any meaningful way, the gameplay is shallow, and its free-to-play model is designed to frustrate and bore players into buying microtransactions.
