    A good attempt of capturing the magic of Hogwarts in an open world RPG. At a first take the game falls foul of a seemingly lifeless open world in the early game but becomes much more expansive and immersive as you are encouraged to explore further afield. There are a few minor issues such as a finicky quest tracking system, which gets irritating as more quests get added to your ledger.A good attempt of capturing the magic of Hogwarts in an open world RPG.

These overall aren’t a huge turn-off though when compared to the well written and impactful story, and engaging characters.

    Che dire, il gioco perfetto per gli amanti della saga, sarà sicuramente apprezzato anche solo da chi è cresciuto guardando i film o da chi magari ha letto i libri ed è sempre stato affascinato da quel mondo magico creato dalla Rowling.
    Il più grosso difetto secondo me sta qui, il gioco verrà principalmente apprezzato da coloro che hanno apprezzato i libri o i film perchè coloro che non hanno nessun interesse a quest'ultimi il gioco risulterà molto meno affascinante.
    Il gioco semplicememte o piace o non piace secondo me e non ci sono vie di mezzo in questo caso.
    Parlando oggettivamente troviamo invece un ottimo comparto grafico con un mondo vivo, definito e pulsante, ricco di dettagli.
    Ottimo il doppiaggio e veramente ben fatto il sonoro, combat system gratificante e divertente, mappa veramente enorme e molto ben fatta, vario nelle missioni sia principali che secondarie e opzionali considerando collezionabili e non.
    Ricco nell'esplorazione e nelle meccaniche secondo me, si va dallo scassinare, al creare, all'esplorare, al combattere fino al volare, al giocare con gli animali, al risolvere enigmi all'imparare magie e pozioni.
    Estremamente longevo, parliamo di circa 80 ore per il completamento.
    Un gioco che va apprezzato e premiato per la cura maniacale con cui è stato fatto.
    Lati negativi secondo me la storia banalotta, le animazioni facciali non al livello della cura dei volti dei personaggi e un inizio un po' lento.
    Dispiace per la poca ortimizzazione lato pc che non riesce a spremere le gpu come dovrebbe e quindi limitando le performance delle gpu.
    Il gioco non è leggero graficamente ma fosse stato ottimizzato meglio sarebbe sicuramente girato con più leggerezza.
    Gioco da 10 per gli amanti della saga e degli apen world azione/avventuta, gioco da 9 per chi apprezza la saga e per coloro che apprezzano gli open world, gioco da 8 in giù per tutti gli altri.

    This is the game we all dreamed of around 15 years ago. We are older now... and we may have moved on, but haven't forgotten. A beautifully crafted Hogwarts experience with Witcher-level attention to detail. Some technical issues with framerate and some minor bugs but it didn't detract from the fun.

    The game is filled with soul and details. It's a really awesome piece of art. It has some performance issues, but I'm sure they will fix those. I'm loving it as a person who never watched or read one single HP movie/book, so it's a great entertainment as a standalone game too.

    I will take Horizon Zero Dawn 1 & 2, Cyberpunk, The Witcher 3, The last of us as a reference and also some reviews i read, and will highlight 4 main points i found important.

    First, engine problems:
    Yes, thats true, if you paid 1500 or more for your 3080ti at the hight of the corona virus, and are now disappointed that your card can't handle all ultra max out graphics with raytracing 1440p and DLSS activated then i share the same feeling with you. It is still too early to say if its gonna stay like this but to give it 1-5 points reviews because of this, is a bad critic i think. The game is perfectly playable for the most part, even tho it has some glitches here and there, but comparing it to the other games i mentioned at release, it plays like a charm.
    7 Points.

    Second, characters:
    Characters are vivid. It's not the same like the last of us 2, but it is comparable to Horizon, and i'm talking about face expression and not the color choice and the ambiance. Fact is, it's the same story as always, the game got overhyped and people thought this would be a real life simulation. Expectations are always too high and then the game get bad reviews because of feelings. Thats humankind for you.
    8 points.

    Third, World building:
    Fantastic, and with some dlc's in the future i will only get better.
    10 points.

    Fourth, lore:
    If you bought this game knowing the world of harry potter then it's gonna be like a dream come true to you. If you're new to this world, it's actually even better, cause there is plenty of lore to dive in. It's deep. Not as deep as Starwars or lord of the rings but still plenty.
    9 Points.

    My Final score is 8.5, and i will add 0.5 extra points to counter act all the trolls that are reviewing this game with a score of 1.

    Great game overall. It has so much content, which provides total immersion in the universe. However, there are a few downsides, in my opinion:
    1) The plot is mediocre, with no unexpected turns. At least they could have added more character deaths like in the movies.

    2) The dialogues are poor and very unnatural. All the characters are too polite to the point of cringe. The narrative designers have clearly failed.
    3) The leveling system and economy feel too similar to Ubisoft's style. I didn't really like it, especially the gear system. However, the gear upgrading is ok as it is tied to another game system.
    4) The game becomes extremely easy with proper upgrades and spell sets. Even at the hard difficulty level, the fights become effortless. I was somewhat disappointed to finish all the main quests without unlocking the unforgivable curses, which can only be unlocked through side quests. This is not really a spoiler, if you don't like playing side quests as me and want to unlock the unforgivable curses, you'd better check a guide.

    .
    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)

    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.

    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.

    I enjoyed this game much more than I anticipated. The story is nothing groundbreaking, but it does its job. 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.

    Very fun game. The graphics are breath taking, flying in this world is beautiful or wandering through the forest etc. You get the feeling of a living world with lots of magic in it. The mini games and riddles are also fun, though I must say, that the story could be better. It does have it's moments, but I feel like it wasted a bit potential here and there.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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.

    Best part of this game is exploring the world and Hogwarts on your broom. The main story is lack luster and fails to hit emotional moments but the "main" side quest that continue throughout the game are wonderful moments, shout out to the magical beast quest line. Combat is okay, a little repetitive and progession of your spells stops almost half way through. Recommend for anyone thatBest part of this game is exploring the world and Hogwarts on your broom.

    Great game. Made me feel like I was in the HP verse. Didn't encounter any bugs. Had a great time. Made it on to my top 10 games of all time list.

    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.

    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.

    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.
