    We all have to put out there for this studio to know: This game is so **** good! The love and hard work that I am seeing is mindblowing! I literally lost myself exploring the castle, didn't know where I was, from where I came, but was a feeling of lost that I didn't experienced with a game for like 5 years. I just wanted to explore more and more and see all the little details.We all have to put out there for this studio to know: This game is so **** good!

    Avalanche, you deserve all the love from a gamer, you really beat the hype, the controversy, the experience to make a game of this magnitude. Congratulations and thank you for this game!

    The game has an engaging and captivating story that is sure to keep us entertained from beginning to end. The story is set in the 1800s, before the time of Harry Potter, which makes it even more exciting to explore this new world.

    The world is beautifully designed and every detail has been meticulously crafted. The game's environments are stunning and the character models are highly detailed and realistic.

    Another fantastic aspect of Hogwarts Legacy is the variety of riddles and puzzles that players will encounter throughout the game. These puzzles are challenging enough to keep players engaged, but not so difficult that they become frustrating. The puzzles are integrated seamlessly into the game's story, which makes them feel like a natural part of the experience and I had a lot of fun with them.

    Phineas Black could have had more story development, though and I hope they'll add more story about him in a future patch maybe? However, this does not detract from the overall quality of the game. There are many other characters to interact with and the story is still highly enjoyable.

    I highly recommend Hogwarts Legacy. 9/10

The world of Hogwarts is truly brought to life in this game, and I found myself constantly marveling at the beauty of the game's design.

    The immersive world of Hogwarts Legacy is another one of the game's greatest strengths. The side quests and characters throughout the game add depth and complexity to the story and provide a sense of exploration and discovery that keeps the player engaged. The main story is also well-written and intriguing, with twists and turns that keep the player invested in the outcome.

    However, there are a few areas where Hogwarts Legacy could improve. For example, simple things like the lack of a sitting animation and limited mount options can be a bit disappointing. Simple additions like these would greatly enhance the immersion of the game and make the player feel more connected to the world of Hogwarts. Additionally, the game currently has some performance issues that need to be addressed to ensure a smooth playing experience.

    Finally, while Hogwarts Legacy is a highly anticipated game, it is disappointing that it will only be available on newer hardware at release. This limits the accessibility of the game to many fans of the wizarding world who may not have access to the latest gaming technology. It is important for developers to work on making their games accessible to a wider audience, and I hope that Hogwarts Legacy will become available on more platforms in the future.

The attention to detail in the game is incredible, from the intricate designs of the Hogwarts castle to the lush landscapes surrounding it.

    One of the standout features of the game is the beautiful music and great sound effects, which create an amazing ambiance that transports you to a magical world. The voice acting is also very good, adding depth and personality to the various characters you encounter throughout the game.

    Although the performance of the game was initially poor, it has been improved with patches. However, some players still experience issues with ray tracing performance, even with high-end graphics cards like the RTX 3070 Ti.

    The gameplay in Hogwarts Legacy is excellent, with a wide variety of gear to collect and upgrades to do. The game features 26 spells, including three curses, and the main combat spells are categorized as control, force, and damage. The game also offers a range of side quests and activities to explore, though some of these can become repetitive, particularly the Merlin trials and treasure vaults.

    Exploring in Hogwarts Legacy can be very rewarding, as you unlock challenges that reward you with combat traits or even gear. The game also boasts a variety of enemies, each with their own vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

    Overall, Hogwarts Legacy is a beautiful and immersive game that offers a lot of variety and depth. If you're a fan of RPG or action games, you're sure to enjoy this exciting journey through the wizarding world. While it has some performance issues and repetitive activities, the great graphics, music, and gameplay make it a must-play for Harry Potter fans and gamers alike.

    Wirklich tolles Spiel. Man kann auf verschiedenen Tierwesen und natürlich auf einem Besen durch die große und richtig detailreiche Welt fliegen, aber auch zu Fuß alles erkunden. Das Schloss und die Natur sind einfach atemberaubend schön. Die Geschichte hat mir auch gefallen. Hier und da hätte man gern etwas mehr Tiefe in die Charaktere stecken können, aber ich bin trotzdem sehr zufrieden.

A bit light on the RPG mechanics but filled with interesting characters and set in an amazing world. But again, I know nothing of the books, the lore or the author.

    Technically, this game squeezed my PC hard with some stuttering. It is really hungry for both RAM and VRAM. Some optimisation might be needed still but it's a great game. Kinda makes me think back to Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War, a surprisingly good game based on a book series but telling its own story... One thing I would add is the interactiveness of the world. Most NPCs are just window dressing but they don't even react when I cast a dangerous spell... Even in Driver San Francisco the pedestrians, while impossible to hit, would at least move out of the way and acknowledge the potential danger and that's one old game... These folk just stand there unbothered. Kinda messes up the immersion.

    So I'm just gonna give you a 9/10, straight up, there are not many games out there where you feel that it has taken over your life for a moment. What an amazing experience being able to walk and take in the Harry Potter/Wizarding World Universe in a game so full of content, along with interesting and purposefully likeable and unlikable characters.

    And on top of that No Micro-transactions, no Time savers of any sort here. Well done, I will happily buy a sequel, It's going to be in America, Right? Maybe an older Student at Hogwarts, I don't know but where ever it is, I'll be ready with the rest of the fan base.

    One of the best games that I've played in my life and before I played this game I wasn't even a fan of Harry Potter franchise.

    Combat 9/10 The combat feels very good, basically it revolves around making combos and rewarding the player for that, you both gain more energy for ancient magic when you make a large sequence of combo without being damaged and, of course, you can combo yours spells, like you can cast leviosa on an enemy and them depulso to throw him from a cliff. You can transform an enemy into an explosive barrel and throw it into another enemy, there are many combos. And the enemies, generally have one or two spells that they are weak in some window, like an enemy that attacks with the tongue is vulnerable if you cast leviosa on this tongue when he is gonna attack, then you can cut off his tongue with diffindo.

    9/10 open-world - truly it surprised me. It is one of the best open-world that I've ever seen. It has so many details, especially in Hogwarts and the Hogsmeade village, they are so beautiful, Hogwarts seems exactly like in the movie with moving frames and armor statues, and even peeves there. The towers and the rooms are so well represented, it really feels like a real Hogwarts. Also, there are many puzzles in Zelda/Genshin style, like there is a torch, then you cast incendio, now there is fire in the torch and you gain some XP, or there are many flying papers scattered and you cast accio to catch then and you are reward with some XP. Also, there are many secrets rooms and puzzles. I really like this type of exploration, it feels very good.

    Hogsmeade village is also very cool with many beautiful stores, especially the candy and prank stories.

    The rest of the world is really big but kinda empty, there are a lot of "Ubisoft-style activities", like a lot of repetitive activities scattered on a huge map that seems a constant ctrl+c and ctrl+v.

    Story 7.5/10 - one of the aspects that disappointed me. The story isn't bad but the characters are so lame. It was an interesting choice to make the game way before Harry Potter events but I really missed seem some old characters.

    The main villain is so cliche he is Globin that wants to conquer everything and he isn't even developed, the professors are those types of personas who are always helping us, especially professor Fig, but honestly, that isn't so fun, I missed someone like Severus Snape in the Harry Potter franchise to create some drama. The Director is literally a clown with zero importance in the story. But, I must say, at least the guardians story is somewhat interesting, but the main-quest it would be 6.5/7

    There are also three main side quests with 3 characters: Poppy, Sebastian and Naty, in many moments they are even better than the main quest. They develop these characters and although they aren't top tier either, they are cool, especially Poppy and Sebastian's quest, at the very least I could sympathize with them.

    Also, one more aspect that this game copied from Genshin was the "illusion of choice", it has many dialogue options but it doesn't change anything.

Sebastian, the dark and brooding Slytherin, was a delight to interact with and had a surprising amount of depth for a side character. And Poppy, the bubbly and sweet Hufflepuff, was an absolute joy to be around and provided a nice contrast to the darker moments in the game.

    But the real standout feature of Hogwarts Legacy has to be the graphics. The castle and its surroundings look absolutely breathtaking, with every detail meticulously crafted to bring the magical world to life. From the twisting staircases to the lush gardens, exploring this world was a feast for the eyes and left me feeling fully immersed in the Hogwarts experience.

    Speaking of exploration, the game does an excellent job of encouraging players to venture off the beaten path and discover the hidden secrets of Hogwarts. Whether it's uncovering hidden passages or stumbling upon a hidden creature in the Forbidden Forest, there's always something new and exciting to discover.

    Of course, no game is perfect, and Hogwarts Legacy is no exception. While there are plenty of well-developed characters, I couldn't help but feel like Phineas Nigellus Black was a bit underutilized. As a major figure in Hogwarts history, it would have been nice to see more of him and his story explored.

    Overall, Hogwarts Legacy is an incredible addition to the world of Harry Potter gaming, though. With gorgeous graphics, engaging characters and an expansive world to explore.

    The game is really enjoyable. The graphics are breathtaking and the world looks simply magical and beautiful. However, I wish there were more emotes for the player character. Also, I don't understand why we can only keep a handful of animals in the room of requirement. Each room has more than enough space. Apart from that, the game is top-notch.

    The soundtrack is simply enchanting, with its soaring orchestral pieces and hauntingly beautiful melodies. But the real magic of Hogwarts Legacy lies in the gameplay. From brewing potions to mastering spells, there's always something new to discover.

    But perhaps the most exciting part of the game is the sense of freedom it offers. Whether you want to join your favorite Hogwarts house, explore every inch of the castle, or even venture out into the wider wizarding world, the choice is yours. With so many possibilities, the game truly feels like a magical adventure that you'll never want to end.

You'll find something to enjoy here even if you're unfamiliar with Harry Potter.

    Unfortunately, it's not great on PC. I haven't had the issues others have reported to the same degree, but it's still visibly unoptimised and it gets knocked down a few points for that reason for me.

    But it's still excellent. Those rating it badly are doing so for disingenuous reasons completely unrelated to the actual video game. They can safely be ignored as the petulant crybabies they are.

    I approve of the chance you get to respond to other characters the friendly or rude way.

    Telling all the side-quest NPCs to stop whining is great. The response of the main character is perfect.

    Thanks goodness for the option to hide headwear. Hats and other headwear look ugly as hell.

    Still getting lots of flickering on many objects. Seems to be an issue with the game. Fixes on the internet didn't work for me. Everything is up-to-date on my end.

    The game is very hungry for pc resources, even with a top tier pc.
    Better optimization is definitely needed, although I didn't get any fps drops on my system running the game at 4k, 60fps capped and most settings maxed aside from RT (causes flickering).

    Had to turn on V-sync on NVCP because it suffered from screen tearing.
    V-sync fast or adaptive didn't work, which is sad. Had the same issue with Spider-Man Remastered, but V-sync fast fixed it.

    The game seems a bit overwhelming with all the collectibles.

    Voice acting on German voice-overs is a bit off on some characters (and lacking lip-sync).

    Can't turn off subtitles? These captions, for example: *chuckles*, piss me off.
    Why is this a thing that is forced upon you?

    The names have to be a joke sometimes, for example Nigellus Black, lol?
    Character design of many characters seems forced to look equal (different skin color and such). Trying to make the game not look racist, kinda brings more attention to than it should.

But if you play on PC ill wait a bit, since the game seems to have significant problems loading assets during cutscenes that cut framerate to oblivion.
    The story is solid. Nothing that breaks you from immersion, but far from the level of Witcher 3 or RDR. Most of the characters feel real, but you won't get attached to them, game is lacking in showing them in more casual situations, and interactions with them are mostly to push the story, not to show their characters.
    But the best part of the game is that the world feels alive. Hogwart feels real and detailed. This is the HP game we were waiting for.
    Also, game have the usual problem with modern Open World games design, too many repetitive things to do. Clear Dark Wizards camp, finish the same puzzle 8 times, you know the drill. Good thing that those are mostly optional.
    Combat can be challenging when it comes to fighting with multiple opponents. Spells are fun to use, and the game encourages you to use them all.

    So Immersion is 10/10, the castle and grounds are amazing and done with love. I sent around 3 hours just going around and looking at these stunning scenes, then you get on a broom and can see it from the sky, so freaking good. RPG Elementals, Well I would have wanted a quick bar to the talking, as well as added in more people to properly talk to. But there are some and they are mostly pretty damn worth it to listen to all they say. I will say that they might have gone a bit too extreme on the diversity dial here, but so far I liked all the characters expect for one, and that is just the accent I really hate. So ingame mechanics is explained in the story which is awesome. Combat I like it, while it might get a bit boring if you just attack the Wolf monster, but there is a mix of creatures, like 3-4 spiders types, which have something unique each. But dealing with Dark Wizards, and goblins is where the combat shines. Might be boring after maybe 100 hours, but so fair I love the combat 9/10, while the difficulty is a bit under. Story while it is not the best story in the world, it is pretty good, maybe 7/10. Broom flying 10/10. So if you like Harry Potter it is a must play, if you like fantasy wizard games it is a must-play, if you are a RPG Fan you can skip it, but still I would recommend for you to play it.

    Avalanche did an amazing job creating a believable, detail rich and compelling world that would amaze any HP fan like me, who went through all the books and the movies. The game in its core is discrete open world RPG, with fast and fun combat mechanics and many many activities to do. There are clearly compromises to how the game looks, most likely due to its cross gen nature, but nothing that really makes the game feel 'old' or bad to watch. It's really really enjoyable, especially if you have a good PC.
    Audio wise, they did a great job, even if I heard a few instances where the mix could have been better tuned. Overall, soundtrack and SFX are top quality!
    Some day 1 performance issues and bugs do not affect the final user quality perception in my opinion, resulting in this being currently not only a fan favourite but definitely in a good spot for Game of the Year!

    To Avalanche: keep up the amazing work, take a few weeks to rest and enjoy the enormous work you have done, and then please work on improving the performance, fixing bugs and bringing us more and more content on this amazing world!

The beginning obviously is quite basic since you only have a few spells but the further you get in the game with more spells unlocked and with more talents available, the combat just feels very smooth and satisfying. Difficulty is just right for me on normal, at times a bit challenging and at times not so much. The customization of your character is also pretty extensive with a good amount of options to choose from in the beginning and quite a big wardrobe of cosmetics to collect throughout the game. Quests are varied enough for me, they don't feel repetitive and I enjoy doing all the little side things the game has to offer. About the story I can't say much because I'm not super far into it but so far it's fine although nothing groundbreaking here.

    About PC performance. It seems that Nvidia cards have issues but AMD cards, like mine, do not have them (as much). I have a very pleasant and smooth experience with my RX 6800. Not saying it's perfect when it comes to optimization, it definitely can be better but maybe with a future patch or at least proper drivers for the game this can be solved.

    Overall a very enjoyable Adventure/RPG game to play, especially if you love the Harry Potter universe!

    Complete package!

    I bought the special edition version and got early access, and I can say this game has it all: story, graphics, nostalgia, and more! Honestly, it's been a welcome breath of fresh air, and I'm only 10 hours in!

    best game for 2020-2023 Game of the YEAR or of the decade. If the so-called minority does not intervene, then the game always turns out to be cool. As long as the rest of the publishers are led by this minority, then their games will be ****

    A fun game that feels a little dated. Unless you are a big fan of harry potter, waiting for a sale might be the play.

    Beautiful, cozy and incredibly detailed, Hogwarts Legacy suffers from overabundance of side activities that offer no story, substance or good gameplay. [page 42]

    The success of Hogwarts Legacy clearly shows that good sales and warm feedback from players are ensured not so much by the gameplay thought out to the smallest detail but by carefully reproducing the right atmosphere. But this is already a subtle moment, akin to real magic, and here the nameless developers of Avalanche Software succeeded.

    Hogwarts Legacy is an altogether excellent port of Wizarding World to PC screens. It proudly belongs to the Young Adult fiction genre, which may make immersion difficult for older gamers.
