    Breathtaking graphics. Honestly, just wandering through the forests, flying over the lake or exploring the castle would be enough for me. The world looks so beautiful.

    The story has room for improvement. It's okay but could definitely be more exciting and profound.

    Immersive, good gameplay, great soundtrack, variety and a little depth. Good singleplayer mix. Hogwarts and the surroundings were build with passion and love. Worth the money.

    Hogwarts legacy is generally a perfect adaptation of the Harry Potter IP into a video game. It really had everything you could wish for in a hp game.

    The standout aspect of the game was the gameplay, mainly the combat. The combat was very fluid, fast paced and challenging enough to not become easy or dull. . The other aspects of the gameplay, such as the flying, movement, gear etc.

    .
    The other aspects of the gameplay, such as the flying, movement, gear etc. were all in a very good state throughout the game, you honestly always felt like going from point A to B was short trip but you were always surrounded by the beautiful open world.

    Hogwarts Legacy has so many positives that you would think it's one of the best games ever made, I could easily name 10 other details that I really enjoyed but, instead of this being a 10/10 masterpiece, it ended up a 8 out of 10 because of one word: repetition. After 20 hours or so of playing all the side quests and exploring the fun mechanics, you start to get extremely bored due to the fact that each side mission and objective become the exact same sequence.
    Let us take the caves for example, the first few times you enter a cave the puzzles are fun and the combat is fresh, but after 5 or 6 of them you notice how blatantly repetitive the game is.
    The combat is this game became so boring due to the lack of different enemies, you would see spiders mostly in caves, goblins everywhere and the other enemies were seen only a few times here and there, I did say the combat was good but even too much of a good thing becomes boring. This repetitiveness doesn't only apply to the combat, the side quests are all basically the same schematic, the dialogue starts to get annoying as every character has to have way too many meaningless conversations, puzzles are not fun after you do the same puzzle just in a different combination for 20 side quests.

    The story was alright all in all, nothing that blew me away but not bad either.
    I do want to also point out that the customization was top tier, I spent a lot of time choosing the perfect attire and getting chests so that I could unlock new items.

    All in all this game could have been an all time great if there was more diversity in the gameplay. I hope the studio makes another open world game such as this one (possibly a sequel)

    For someone who loves Harry lore, this games is what we all have been waiting for. Gourgues locations, fun battles, mounts, even finding puzzles, and all sort of stuff was fun for me even though I am not a big fun of achievements. Not a perfect 10 because game gets worse at the end.

Il gioco è fantastico:il paesaggio di hogwarts è stupendo,i nemici e i personaggi hanno un character design veramente ben fatto e,da amante di Harry Potter,nn potevo nn adorare tutti gli ester eggs rivolti alla storica saga.A me però,nn è mai piaciuto Il protagonista:Harry.Quindi il fatto che il personaggio poteva essere scelto dal giocatore mi ha intrigato ancora di più.Il mondo è liberamente esplorabile ed è arricchito da molti avamposti e dungeon nemici.Poi ovviamente la cosa più magica di questo gioco è esplorare la mappa con la scopa e l'ippogrifo;solo che ho trovato qualche difficoltà a manovrare la scopa volante.Gli incatesimi sono tutti molto utili e potrete decidere se sbloccare anche le magie senza perdono.Però purtroppo,c'è una storia molto moscia,con dialoghi alla horaizon e molte missioni ripetitive.Oppure nn ci si lega per niente ai personaggi infatti.ALLERTA SPOILER!!Quando il nostro "maestro" muore alla fine del gioco,sinceramente nn ci sono rimasto male per niente.Cmq anche il combattimento risulta fluido e zone come la camera delle necessità sono fatte con molta cura.Quindi,alla fine di questa recenzione,ritorno a dire che hogwarts legacy è un gioco veramente magico(in tutti i sensi)e consiglio a tutti gli amanti di Harry Potter di provarlo.E smettetela di dire che è corto e facile da platinare,pk per farlo,bisogna collezzionare un sacco di cose.

Lot of side quest are terrible boring, almost every dungeon is exactly the same, there is absolutely no reason to collect so many clothing, spells are great but the inconvenience of using them is horrible, merlin trials are so annoying and time consuming, not to mention stuttering fps and so many bugged achievements... I've beat the game in 100% and I'm so exhausted... The most boring and daunting platinum I've ever done.

    BUT my first 30 hours with this game was absolutely stunning! Music is brilliant, visuals are breathtaking, exploration and attention to details is unheard of. This game was created with so much love and care that I was left speechless for so many times! My first impression was amazing and it was something I haven't felt for a long time in games. I really regret doing all of the achievements because that was really nasty and tedious thing... Eaven the Sekiro platinum was easier hahah!

    Although I thing that this game is an outstanding experience and I highly recommend it to everyone and especially for HP fans!

    Hogwarts Legacy is an action "role-playing" game that takes place in the Harry Potter universe.

Despite being called Hogwarts Legacy most of the games main quest doesn't take place at Hogwarts but instead in the surrounding areas. This is one of my biggest gripes with the game. When I first got to start exploring Hogwarts I was so excited to see this perfect recreation of Hogwarts and how I was going to learn the locations of every class and how every hallway connects to one another and be fully immersed in Hogwarts. But the game doesn't really do that because you just fast travel everywhere in Hogwarts and you don't actually spend that much time in Hogwarts. A game called Hogwarts Legacy should use Hogwarts to its full advantage and really get the player to experience their semester there instead of just extending the map further and further away from Hogwarts.
    The game does use nostalgia very well as it hits many of the same important beats and locations that you experience from the movies/books. The mandrake scene, forbidden forest, room of requirement, fighting a troll, polyjuice potion, restricted area in the library, the deathly hallows are all in the game and they pull from the source material well, but it can often times just feel like they are making you remember the original.
    This game reminds me a lot of the Batman Arkham games, specifically Arkham City because thats my favorite one. The similarities are number one in the combat and number two in the puzzle elements of the game. The combat is like ranged Batman Arkham combat. The main elements are dodging, countering, attacking, and racking up your combo. The big difference is in Hogwarts Legacy you often times have to use spells to break an enemies barrier as well as being able to stagger them and do massive damage to them. In the Batman games the camera tends to be better as well as which enemy you have to lock onto where in Hogwarts legacy I can be looking at an enemy right in front of me and it will target an enemy 20 meters away. Having a huge arsenal of spells is super fun to use and it works really well. I played on the hard difficulty and it made the game much more enjoyable, but it did hinder my enjoyment in some of the higher level more tanky enemies like trolls where I would end up doing the same dodges and attacks for 3-4 minutes straight.
    The second part is how similar the Merlin Trials remind me of the Riddler trophies. You use some ability to solve a puzzle and get a small reward. Sometimes you may or may not have the ability unlocked at the time so you may have to come back. But in Hogwarts Legacy a lot of the puzzles are so simple they don't feel like puzzles, like when you just have to destroy the rocks that pop up. It's mostly about walking around trying to find all 5 of the rocks. The progression in the Merlin trials allows for you to hold more gear but by the end of the game I didn't feel any want or need to complete all of them.
    The flying in the game is okay, it is very convenient for getting to new locations but I feel like it makes you observe the world less. But maybe that is because the open world content of the game isn't much to actually do. I did a couple of side quests but they didn't intrigue me that much. I did a couple of broomstick trials and some merlin trials, found a couple of astronomy tables if they were on my way but I didn't really want to interact with the open world. It feels much different in how I would want to do every shrine in Tears of the Kingdom but skip over almost every bubble on my minimap.
    The story is just kinda meh. You're the chosen one and have to complete some trials. A couple characters you don't care about die along the way. The main quest progression is a lot more interesting. I really liked the assignments you would get from your classes. They required you to do some extra off the beaten path type things and rewarded you with a new spell. Some quests required some spells to complete them so completing these assignments was important and it was one of my favorite parts of the early game.
    The relationship quests are all kind of meh as well as the main story with one exception. I didn't care for Otai quest and I liked Poppy a little bit. They were all kinda generic quests with not very interesting themes. But Sebastian's questline is a different story. This questline elevates the game but it also makes me with the game was so much more.
    Sebastian's questline is Sebastians quest to reverse the curse that was placed on his twin sister, Anne. The quest revolves around the "Unforgivable Curses" that exist in the Harry Potter world. The unforgivable curses, specifically Avada Kedavra is one of the worst pieces of lore written into Harry Potter as it just gives all dark wizards something to constantly use; however, it ends up working much better in a video game where there are cooldowns between uses of spells. In one of the early quests in the questline, you or Sebastian must

However, it is quite questionable how we can use unforgivable curses without consequences. Also, Sebastian, I like you but you're also an ass, and you need to face some consequences for your actions.

    A Truly Magical Game

    Hogwarts Legacy has no right to be as phenomenal as it is. Admittedly, when I heard the game had been delayed and just in general with how badly triple A games are on release nowadays, I was expecting this game to bomb in a similar fashion to the Callisto Protocol. But I was so wrong.

    The Game is an open world RPG with a create-your-own protagonist and it's one of the best RPG's of this kind I've ever played. Exploring Hogwarts is genuinely some of the most fun you'll have in a game like this, and exploring the Scottish Highlands outside of Hogwarts is just as exciting. It's a game that can fill you with child-like wonder.

    The main story is rather decent, it's strong enough that it doesn't feel like a slog and keeps you interested in what's going to happen next. The main story is effectively split into two paths which naturally converge over the course of the game, the first being that you're following the steps of another Wizard from hundreds of years ago and the other basically being a Goblin Rebellion-type. However for me, the best story-telling in this game isn't the main story at all, even if it is rather good.

    For me, the best story telling is about the friends you meet along the way. There are three which basically take you all the way to the end of the game in long extended storylines which are interesting enough that if the game decided to more linear, they could've used any one of these storylines and it would have been great. The Slytherin friend storyline is definitely my favourite out of those ones. However there are a lot of different side quests dotted around the map, helping younger students, citizens of Hogsmeade, treasure maps. There is a lot to do in this game.

    The combat is fantastic. I expected it to be weird and clunky, as someone who has played a lot of third person shooters and other types of fighting games, the idea of fighting with a wand seemed, for lack of a better word, lame and uninspired. Again, I'll admit I was wrong. The combat is so satisfying and it doesn't last long enough to feel tedious. It's short bursts of combo'ing your spells together, the animation balance of it all chaining together is extremely entertaining to witness. There are a multitude of spells to choose from, each having their own category and doing different things. Pick what suits you best.

    I'd say the only little gripe I had about the game, was in relation to some of the side quests. If you go too hard on exploration of ruins and other dungeon-esque environments, you'll end up doing the full thing, which is fine. You might pick up a weird item or defeat a boss which is to be expected. Then, hours later, a side quest will open up where the quest giver will ask you to do basically what you already did. And after you receive the quest, after you are done talking to them, the next part of the quest is to return to them. It kind of stopped me from exploring as much as I should have, in fear that I'd either need to return to a place I'd already been to, or by spoiling a side-quest storyline by having already done the location in question.

    You can customise your character to a good degree, initially you create their race, facial features etc, but the best part comes from the outstanding amount of outfits you can have. You can wear your Hogwarts cloak and uniform, a Highland Uniform, general clothing, scarfs, no scarfs, glasses, wizard hats, top hats. It's brilliant. I changed my outfit constantly during the game just so I always felt fresh.

    Overall, Hogwarts Legacy is one of the best games created in its genre, everyone should play this, if you like Harry Potter, play it, if you like Open World RPG's, play it. If you just like good video games in general. Play it. It's a truly remarkable experience that will keep you at your desk for hours just admiring all it has to offer. 9/10.

    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.

    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.

    First of all, I must say that I enjoyed the game and I completed it twice. However, I have some thoughts on how it didn't meet my expectations in certain aspects.

    One of the biggest disappointments of the game was that my choices didn't have a significant impact on the flow of events. I expected more event combinations and hoped that different choices would lead to different outcomes.
    First of all, I must say that I enjoyed the game and I completed it twice. However, I have some thoughts on how it didn't meet my expectations in certain aspects.

    One of the biggest disappointments of the game was that my choices didn't have a significant impact on the flow of events. I expected more event combinations and hoped that different choices would lead to different outcomes. This could have increased the replayability and depth of the game.

    Additionally, I was disappointed by the similarity in the flow of events and the characters between the houses. I wasn't expecting an RPG standard like Fallout, but I expected an experience where the same locations would change with different scenarios, similar to what we saw in Cyberpunk. Unfortunately, these expectations were not met, and this aspect of the game was not very satisfying for me.

    I had dreamed of exploring Hogwarts from within and unraveling the mysteries of the castle for years. However, I couldn't find enough mystery and location-based narrative in the game. Outside of Hogwarts castle, there were wizards in yellow tents and a gypsy aesthetic, but I couldn't find the gothic and grotesque aesthetics in the interiors. While it was wonderfully recreated when viewed from the outside, it lacked the magical and visual narrative that I expected in the indoor areas.

    The game turned into RPG chores at some point, and I found its story to be weak. The beginning of the story was quite promising, but it felt rushed to bring it to a quick conclusion. This negatively affected the overall experience of the game.

    In addition to these points, I liked the card and reward mechanism. This mechanism makes the game more exciting and motivating.

    In conclusion, Hogwarts Legacy was a game I enjoyed despite some disappointments. I expected more event combinations and different scenarios tied to the houses in the game. Additionally, I hoped to find more mystery and gothic aesthetics within the castle. However, some features like the card and reward mechanism caught my interest. The game's story, on the other hand, felt a bit weak. Hogwarts Legacy still holds a place for me due to my love for the Harry Potter universe, but I believe it didn't fully realize its potential.

    Avada kedavra büyüsünü oyun bittikten sonra alabildiğim için biraz üzgün olsam da genel oyun deneyimimden memnunum. Harry Potter evrenini sevenlerin zevkten dört köşe olacağı oyunu yapmışlar. Hogwarts binasında ve açık dünyada yapılacak şeylerin sınırı yok. Filmlerden gördüğümüz şeylerin ve daha fazlasının sınırı yok. Quidditch hariç.

    Derslere girme, canavar ehlileştirme hatta çiftleştirme, bitkileri silah olarak kullanma, sayısız büyü, süpürgeyle uçma, Highwing'e binme, bulmacalı açık dünya etkinlikleri, onlarca harabe, her şey var. Bana biraz fazla geldi ama isteyen yapmaz tabii. Açık dünya etkinlikleri sıkıcı, çünkü bulmaca sevmem. Haydut öldürmek o kadar da keyifli değil. Keşiflerinizde bulduğunuz şeyler pek mühim değil.

    Oyun, combat kısmını beklediğimden iyi kotarmış. Sonuçta Harry Potter evreninde yapılabilecek şeyler ve büyü çeşitleri belli. Kaçınma ve doğra zamanda saldırıyı geri püskürtme mekanikleri artık her oyunda var. Buna da iyi yedirilmiş. Büyülerin kullanımı ve birbirleriyle kombinleme de gayet başarılı. Ama biraz kolay olmuş. Oyun boyunca sadece bir kez öldüm, onda da can iksirim bittiği için.

    Ana hikaye meh. Ama arkadaşlarımızın hikayesiyle paralel giden kısımları iyiydi. Yan görevler pek kaliteli değil ama arkadaşlarımızla oyun boyunca devam eden ilişki görevleri güzeldi. Özellikle Sebastian'inkiler.

    Başta açık dünya etkinlikleri çok canımı sıksa da bir süre sonra neyin önemsiz olduğunu anlayınca, ilişki görevlerine ve ana hikayeye odaklanınca keyif aldığım bir oyuna dönüştü. Keşke Harry Potter son filmlerindeki gibi daha karanlık bir tonu olsaydı. Bu haliyle biraz çocuksu olmuş.

Хогвартс, Хогсмид и их окркстности выполнены восхитительно, именно так как в фильмах и как ты себе это представлял после книг. Очень много лора, который узнавать довольно интересно, и его подача хооошо обставлена. Музыка тоже не подкачала, под стать визуалу. По техническим нюансам отмечу лишь, что оптимизация на пк не очень хорошая, даже после патчей и с длсс 3 фпс дропается местами сильно, хотя и не критично, багов заметил очень мало. Боевая система оригинальная, мне понрааилась, жонглировать заклинаниями, проворачивая различные комбо, весел, зрелищно и эффективно. А вот исследовательская часть гецмплея неоднозначная: есть интересные находки с загадками, исследованием локаций и прокачкой, но очень много активностей на карте, которые особо профита не принесут, только косметику и чутка опыта. Сами активности увлекательны только поначалу, дальше они будут повторяться и очень редко оригинальные попадаются. Потому пылесосить карту спустя некоторое время надоедает и становится не профитно. Хотя порой нет-нет, и сворачивал в очередной данж, тут ничего не поделаю)
    В целом, игрой доволен, не зря потратил на нее около 70 часов.

    Let me just say that the graphics of this game are chef's kiss amazing.
    The level of detail is so impressive that you can practically smell the butterbeer and feel the warmth of the Hogwarts fireplace. It's like you're actually there, except you don't have to deal with the pesky inconvenience of being a Muggle.

    I really, really love this game!

    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 graphics are absolutely stunning. The attention to detail is breathtaking. The rich colors and textures create a world that truly comes to life before your very eyes. It's a joy to simply explore the world.

    Speaking of exploration, the world of Hogwarts Legacy is vast and immersive. From the Forbidden Forest to the bustling streets of Hogsmeade, there's always something new to discover. The game encourages you to take your time and soak in all the sights and sounds, and you won't regret it.

    Of course, a game is only as good as its characters, and Hogwarts Legacy delivers in spades. From fellow students to familiar faces from the Harry Potter universe like P.N. Black, each character is well-written and fleshed out. You'll find yourself getting invested in their stories and rooting for some of them every step of the way.

    Hogwarts Legacy is a charming and delightful game that's sure to cast a spell on you. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the books and movies or just looking for a fun and immersive gaming experience, this game is not to be missed.

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.

But to be it’s just a pretty good magic game. All the spells are well done, the open world is beautiful. Flying on your broom feels awesome, the characters and story isn’t great but it’s not bad. The combat is fun but not challenging at all. To me this is just a fun game, nothing really special to remember but really good. Expand

    Open world RPG set in the magical world, with its own interpretation while respecting the original work. Punctual fps drop in cinematics and certain areas. Playable, but to polish. reminds me of games like dragon age inquisition or similar. They have put a lot of care and detail to capture the magical world to their fans. Great job from devs.

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.

    Но поиск скрытых мест как в Aсасине каком-нибудь убивает всякое желание играть во что-то кроме основного сюжета и побочно-основных квестов, которые дают новые заклинания. Особенно, когда набалуешься с кедаврой и надоест убивать врагов становится нечего делать, а бегать по карте в надежде найти секрет... такое себе - "дрочильни" мы не признаём и не приветствуем.
    + красивый мир, хорошо проработан, почти нет багов, интересная боевая система
    - сюжет слабенький и наивный, вне сюжета делать нечего, пустая беготня по карте только добавляет негатива к такому решению

    даже 8 баллов это только за сеттинг, который даже не они сделали и за работу дизайнеров

    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.
