    This game is so good. The graphics, the story, the accesability, the things you can do and explore. This is literally already the best games i’ve played the last 5 years and i don’t think any game will beat this anytime soon. If you’re thinking about buying this, then do it without any doubt. Absolute worth it

    Amazing game. Combat is 10/10. Graphics are beautiful. Game runs smoothly. Story is interesting. The World and Hogwarts really makes you want to explore and discover new things. All in all, you really feel like you are a part of the wizarding world. Here and there are still some minor bugs, but they are easily overlooked and ignored

I don’t understand why people are so indignant about the optimization, because everything was fine on my RX580 almost all the time at the highest settings that I could do (there were maximum drawdowns when using lumos when performing tests with a mirror, but I think this is due to the fact that most likely a separate room is generated in the mirror + lumos generates light).

    This is also the best Harry Potter/JK Rowling related work since the original books (I've seen the Fantastic Beasts and Curious Child etc and this blows them out of the water, and even the HP movies).

    I've turned down the graphical settings and play at medium but it runs without issue for me. I've got ancient gaming PC and don't meet the recommended specs. So that's not bad.

    I've not completed the game but the story is good so far (about half way through), the side quests are reasonable but hardly ground breaking.

    Combat is tight and involves some tactics, better than expected compared to previous HP games.

    Music is pretty good, voices are a bit weird (if you don't leave it on default pitch).

    Great game from an otherwise ailing IP and a developer who really don't put out this kind of quality in the past.

    About the game though. A beautiful game to experience. It's clear a lot of time went into designing Hogwarts and the area surrounding it. The amount of detail in the game and the graphics are just phenomenal! On top of that the atmosphere with ambience and music is on point. Gameplay wise the game is very good as well. There is a heavy focus on exploration which just feels well done and rewarding with a good mix of puzzles. The combat is very good as well. 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!

    The best game made about Harry Potter universe. Gameplay may feel a little too simple, but in generally it didn't ruin expirience for me. As many other players, my main complain is terrible optimisation on PC. Though game didn't fully release yet.

    The Best game of Harry Potter universe for now. Atmosphere, graphic, combats, dungeons all is on very high level. Many modern "AAA-projects" it's just fake compared to Hogwarts Legacy.
    Yeah, my system has some technical issues like fps drop, graphical artifacts sometimes. But I've played before official realise and without 1st day patch like a lot of people here. But even now i can say

    The combat is extremely satisfying as you can use your spells in-between normal attacks and interactions with the environment and then finish it off with a cool animation. Everything about it just feels seamless.

    You can explore so many things and can barely keep to your quest as there is just so much to discover and so many smaller things to do

    As for PC optimizations; we all know that they are coming with the next patch so be a bit patient.

    I have been enjoying the game since the first minute of the early access and I can assure you it won’t disappoint. I just wish I could make my character more pale to match my skin tone and maybe some beard options, yes I already had beard with 15, also more male hairstyles. But I’m still giving it a 10 because those are just personal cosmetic reasons.

    This is the game we all wanted when stepping into the world of Harry Potter. I recommend that you ensure you have the latest drivers before playing the game, the 8/2 update for Nvidia fixed basically all of my stuttering issues now playing at a nice smooth 60 FPS in Ultra.

    I had never watched one minute of Harry Potter or had much interest, until the woke mob started "Reeeeeeeeeeeee"ing about it.
    Thanks to them, I started watching videos about this game and it looked interesting so I bought the Deluxe version.
    But since I never watched the movies before, I didn't want to go in not knowing any backstory, so I watched the first 3 movies the weekend before

    Thanks for trying to "cancel" this game, I would have likely never purchased it without the boycott attempt.

    The game plays great for me. It's a typical open-world game like Skyrim etc. The voice acting is great for the main characters. It takes some getting used to but its a solid-built game and you can tell the makers really cared about making Hogwarts great.

    I am an avid RPG enthusiast. I spend hundreds and hundreds of hours in every title I chose to play. I dive deeply into mechanics, lore, and gameplay to understand an RPG to its DNA. Just from my steam list alone, I can attribute well over 10,000 hours playing just RPG games since I first found Mass Effect and fell in love with the RPG genre.

    With that said, you can believe me when I say
    I am an avid RPG enthusiast. I spend hundreds and hundreds of hours in every title I chose to play. I dive deeply into mechanics, lore, and gameplay to understand an RPG to its DNA. Just from my steam list alone, I can attribute well over 10,000 hours playing just RPG games since I first found Mass Effect and fell in love with the RPG genre.

    With that said, you can believe me when I say that this game is easily one of the VERY best RPG experiences I have ever had. From the combat to the way it immerses you in the Wizarding World through relationships and stories, this game nails it.

    It is not perfect, but it is very close.

    Howgart's Legacy keeps you moving by always giving you new things to see and do (something many open-world games struggle to do these days,) and it does it all with that flare and style we loved from the Harry Potter movies. In my 35 hours so far, I have not felt the game become stale even once! It is always surprising me and teaching me new things. The story can look generic from the outside, but experiencing it with its nuances does so much to elevate what is essentially a very tropic story, to almost masterpiece levels of presentation.

    However, I want to be honest and so we have to talk about the few issues that the game does have. It IS plagued with some performance issues, but nothing that we haven't seen on a launch title before. Some frame rate issues and poorly implemented ray trancing seem to be the worse issues so far. I have also seen some other graphical anomalies that seem to be solved with a simple reset, such as the save image becoming glitchy looking when it appears. As I'm writing the game is patching with the day one patch so we might see this fixed.

    Great game, despite what certain...humans tried to tell us. Flashy, fluid combat, lovely characters and story, but the real selling point is the immersion. You WILL be lost in the world, forgetting your original goal, just wandering in a beautiful world.

    It's *fantastically* fun on it's own merits as an open world adventure game with probably *the* best spell slinging we've ever seen in a video game *ever*... but it's the clear respect for the source material (that still manages to chip away at the several problematic aspects of an aging IP) that has me really impressed. The developers threaded the needle, so to speak, magnificently.It's *fantastically* fun on it's own merits as an open world adventure game with probably *the* best spell slinging we've ever seen in a video game *ever*... but it's the clear respect for the source material (that still manages to chip away at the several problematic aspects of an aging IP) that has me really impressed.

    It's not only a *necessary* recommend to anyone even moderately fond of the Harry Potter universe but also a strong recommend to anyone that likes video games (full stop). Everyone directly involved in the creation of this game deserves every accolade we can give them so they can continue to make great games like this.

    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.
