There is a lot here that is "ALMOST there!" but just doesn't quite make it. Combat, for example, devolves into spamming your available spell buttons and then switching to another spellbook page to spam the next set, rinse repeat. There are no tactically really needed - spam spells, defend if you see orange, and dodge if you see red. There are some interesting "combos" that cause a spell to occasionally hit a little harder, but there are really no BIG combos that could leave you awestruck.

    The open world puzzles are FAR too many. There is really no reason they needed to spam this many Merlin trials or small caves with one chest in it or fly through these balloons, etc. It is incredibly mind-numbing. They likely should have cut this stuff down to only 30% of what they actually put in.

    The crafting was also a bit pointless, as using consumables is typically a waste of time, outside of the very occasional health potion, which you will pick up plenty of along the way anyway. So all the potions and herbology etc, just wasted. As well, the capturing of beasts was also an interesting idea that got mired down in pointlessness as well as not being able to reach full potential until after the game was already basically over anyway. Like, why get an orange "legendary" item at level 10, if you can't ever upgrade it until the end of the game anyway? Going back to pet these animals for their feathers or something became an annoying chore. The Room of Requirements in generally felt clunky and restrictive and pointless.

    The story overall felt a solid C. Very stereotypical, lots of "why didn't they just do x in the first place" kinds of things. And of course, your house wins the House Cup at the end, which you can see coming from before you even start the game. This whole "50 points to here", and "taking away point here" thing is completely arbitrary and meaningless because there's no actual metric being tracked or risk of your house not winning.

    The menu system was a bit clunky as well, being fairly sluggish and slow. So many challenges and collections and crummy inventory items that are constantly putting a notification item on your menus that basically are just perpetually there because who is going to waste time diving into those slow menus just to find the right thing to mouse-over in order to make the icon go away?

    Finally, graphics. Overall, decent graphics, but nothing over-the-top amazing. The game seems poorly optimized, with bad framerate dips that are badly exacerbated if you try to use RayTracing. Even with a 3080Ti at 1440p, I just had to turn it off because the game would stutter so badly.

    If you love Harry Potter, then you will LIKE this game, I'm sure. But when you're done, I don't think you'll be coming back ever again. The lasting impression of this game is "phew... I'm glad that's finally over."    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    The world is pretty well made and full of little details, flying around with the broom is really magical. But there's not a lot of bosses, the side missions are kinda boring, and the fast travel does not works sometimes.

Some of the quests and puzzles were a bit easy and bland and does get repetitive at later stages. The main storyline is a bit short and weak while one of the side mission storylines is amazing. Dialogue is a bit weak at times and doesn't do the game any favors in immersion. Developers spent a lot of time creating the game and weren't able to implement all the features they wanted in the game. I would rather have them cut back on the Merlin Trials, Demiguise Statues, and Dungeons and spent more time on a morality system and companion system. But where the game lacks, it makes up in other areas. Exploring the world really makes you feel like you're in the Harry Potter universe, especially inside Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade. I spent a lot of time just running and flying around and immersing myself in all the game had to offer. The game does quite a good job of making you feel like an actual student at Hogwarts. Attending classes was quite fun and allowed for your character to learn new spells. The combat system is amazing and fun but it lacks difficulty even on hard settings.

    Performance-wise, some gamers have had issues with the game, whether it's framerate issues, performance issues, or just outright game-breaking bugs, I was one of the fortunate ones that had no such issues. I was able to run the game on high settings at 1080p (on a laptop with 3050Ti, 16 GB RAM) and averaged 70-80FPS with a maximum of 120fps and a minimum of 34fps (heavy fog/battle arena). Apart from a bug, one of the field pages not registering correctly, I haven't had any other bugs in the game that I have noticed or come across.

    Overall the game has been amazing and I have just completed my first playthrough as a Gryffindor and have spent just over 120 hours and will still put in a few more to get to the 100% mark. I will be doing other playthroughs as different characters from other houses, while I await for more content to be added to the game. For a developer that has never made a AAA open-world RPG, they have done quite a good job at making a game that gamers of all ages and experiences, could pick up and play without too much difficulty. I can't wait to see how they will take in all the criticism and recommendations for the game and improve on it in the future, with DLC and sequels. But I have high hopes for them and can't wait for what they have planned in the future.    … Expand

Lack of roleplaying opportunities, meaning you have few choices to make and you're forced to be a very kind and polite character most of the time. The few morally gray and evil choices you get to make seem inconsistent as a result. Hogwarts and the world at large are very beautiful. The additions of a trans character, a gay married couple, and an abundance of non-white characters make no sense given the time and place of the setting. No romance options, presumably in part because the characters are "underage." Silly and disappointing. Some stuttering issues on PC but it was only mildly irritating to me.

    Spielwelt: Hogwarts Schloss ist pure Liebe. Nahezu nie Schnellreise genutzt, sondern vieeeeeel umhergelaufen. Wunderschön.
    Absolutes Highlight die große Halle im Winter. Sind mir fast die Augen ausgefallen.
    Rest der Spielwelt ist leider nicht einmal solide. Generische Welt ohne Highlights oder Wow Effekt. Eine magische Welt mit verhältnismäßig wenig bzw. nahezu 0 Magie.

    Grundidee ist richtig gut, aber wenn ich zB ein Haus platziere und da nicht mal rein kann, dann ist das eben doof

    One of the best open world games I've played since gaming started for me which was the late 70s. Remarkable achievement. I have zero interest in the franchise but really enjoyed this fantastical video game. It's up there with Witcher 3, Forbidden West and on a good PC looks incredible at Native 4K and around 100fps.

    Ignoring the bankrolling of an actual degenerate, as a lifelong gamer and a former childhood fan of Harry Potter, this is, bluntly, among the blandest things I've subjected myself to, and one of a very few games to ever earn the "Did Not Finish" designation for me. Like, even if you "acquired" it another way I feel like you'd be getting ripped off with time if not money.

    Everything about it beyond the universe it takes place in is literally bog standard open world #98573-B, it could give Ubisoft a run for their money.

    I'd probably feel more charitably about it if it was an outright bad game, but it just sinks into this gray space between good and bad by being entirely unremarkable if you've played even a single open world game before it. At least it came out early in the year so as to be out of the way for games that might be actually worth it and won't be bankrolling a sentient trash-bag? It's disappointing.

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...

    I like the graphics, not because it's something next-gen or it looks like cyberpunk but because it gives me a fairytale feeling.
    The intro was something I didn't expect. From the first minute we have action, some kind of mystery,death..
    Music which have some sounds from the films and give you some nostalgic feeling.
    Char editor is good.

    What I not like.
    The npc are all the same without their own character except sebastian who has the potential to became something like mini voldemort. They are no one who will bothering us like malfoy or Snape. Everybody is ohhh the new one help me you are the only one who can do it.
    The spell and how you learn them. You going to the class and you expect to something inside it not just press 1 2 buttons and learn a new skill or go do this and came back to me. If I do everything outside the school why am I going on class? Some spells are the same with a little difference and you learning them all in the first hour of the game because you need them for the stupid side quests which you need them to open skins and buff something.
    The missions are the same and the whole story are boring. I played 20 hours trying to find all the chest, to find this or that or open doors to get some clothes to get some more exp for my lvl but this is useless. Clothes with bigger stats are dropped all the time. Your lvl doesn't count in battles because they are chaotic. 10 goblins are firing and teleport at you at the same time and you must press O all the time and try to levitate the half of them to can kill the other half.
    Collect animals is useless.
    There is no mystery, no jokes, no hate, this is a game for kids between 12 and 18 who never played games like witcher, dragon age, skyrim or even the old HP games. BUT the kids this age doesn't know the HP universe so good like us who are 28 29 30 yo. The grow up with marvel, pubg, fortnite and tiktok. So for who is this game made for?

    The open world in this game is beautiful and detailed, with great graphics and decent enough performance. Although ray tracing is completely broken, at least on my PC.

    That being said apart from the visuals the world feels very empty and sterile. The characters barely deserve to be described as such, the dialogue and the a lot of the voice acting are unnatural at best and most of the side quests and even a lot of the main quests feel like chores. I get that some quests involve completing tasks for classes in the game, but if they feel about a enticing as doing literal homework back in school the developers went wrong somewhere.
    Occasionally the game seems to set up what could be interconnected, branching quests with intriguing premises, only for them to resolve after getting x thing from x place with two lines of placeholder dialogue never to be mentioned again. I think a pretty good early example is a student inviting you to an illegal dueling club after you beat him in a spell duel in class. Sounds rather intriguing right? Definitely some potential for an interesting narrative here right? Except all that happens is you go there, win 3 duels against random people, have an NPC tell you that you did well and that's literally it. It's a similar story with almost every single side quest I played in the game.

    The main story can best be described as straightforward and utterly unremarkable. Up to around the halfway mark you're still hoping for something to shake things up, surely some intricate plot twist is gonna unfold soon, I can't wait for the web of intrigue they're spinning to reveal itself. Unfortunately this is not the case and you eventually just resign and accept that that's simply the way the game is.
    The main character also has the charisma and personality of a wet paper bag. This is further emphasized by both the female and male character's voice acting which sounds beyond phoned in. It is almost as though they were intentionally trying their hardest to not give them any sort of personality. Now if this was branching CRPG with really far reaching choices where the main character is mostly an avatar for the player to project themselves unto, I could somewhat see why they did it. In a straightforward action RPG where choices are mostly window dressing there is no excuse for it, there are just too many games that have done it better.

    To some extend the game is saved by the beautiful open world and a solid combat system, but those can only get you so far and oh boy is it a slog otherwise. In a lot of ways it feels like the worst parts of the newer Assassin's Creed games with very little of the good things in them.
    Overall I enjoyed my time with the game somewhat, but it's definitely the kind of game where I'd recommend watching a show on a second screen or listening to a podcast in the background while you're playing it.    … Expand

    Personajes variados
    Jugabilidad
    Historia
    Lore añadido que hace crecer la historia de Harry Potter.

    Contras:
    Misiones secundarias desaprovechadas
    Pocas misiones dentro de la escuela
    Personaje que en el contexto histórico no es acorde a la realidad de la época y saca de contexto
    Algún doblaje del español no se corresponde con la apariencia de un niño y suena voz adulta.

    The combat is okay, there's a good flow to it and you've got lots of options, but many of the options do essentially the same thing. The spell combo system has some fun parts, but it can get VERY repetitive. There's not a huge variety of enemy types, and they all respond in pretty much the same way. Dial the difficulty up, because it gives you a LOT of time to dodge/counter otherwise and it really makes it less fun.

    The exploration is alright, but it's stuffed like a bad Ubisoft title with the collecting. Progression is pretty simple--XP gives you points in terms of HP bonuses and talents, but a few of the talents are INCREDIBLY overpowered and make everything else a bit too easy. Other than that, collecting things, finishing challenges, etc. mostly lead to cosmetic unlocks and nothing that changes gameplay.

    I found the music kind of dull--it didn't have the same brightness as the film soundtracks. Graphically it was okay, but I found most of the characters fairly dull looking. It had some FPS drops and a few glitches in the inexplicable underwater sections--not even sure why those were necessary. The flying was REALLY not fun for me, and the crafting was basic.

    This feels like a game that you'd buy a younger person to get them more interested in gaming, but the experience of it wasn't something I enjoyed too much.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    I have mixed feelings about this one. There are some things the game does extremely great, while at the same time it completely fails at other things.
    Let's start with good stuff:

It changes according to the situation- be it a quiet room, a lively field full of students, a classroom or a combat encounter, a magic door opening or a spell    I have mixed feelings about this one. There are some things the game does extremely great, while at the same time it completely fails at other things.
    Let's start with good stuff:
    1. Sounds and music. It's awesome. It's gourgeous. It changes according to the situation- be it a quiet room, a lively field full of students, a classroom or a combat encounter, a magic door opening or a spell hitting a training dummy- it just feels right and immersive.
    2. Visuals and level design. The game looks stunning! All these flying and moving magical things around create an unforgettable atmosphere of magic. Locations are filled with all sorts of puzzles and secrets. I can't remember when was the last time exploring was actually this fun. The game just keeps on giving!
    3. Spellcasting and combat. They actually managed to make you feel like you're casting a spell, not just pressing a button. There are all sorts of comboes you can perform, environments you can use to your advantage: it's not your usual button mash, there's a lot more to it, and it feels surprisingly intuitive. There are countless ways to combine spells and achieve what you want.
    4. Lessons and learning. Well, Hogwarts is a school after all, so you have to attend lessons to learn new spells and skills. It's always a fun experience.

    And now to the bad stuff:
    1. Performance. I'm not even talking RTX. There are some scenes where I'm getting 10-15fps in 4k, and no amount of DLSS helps. I guess my 3080 is not up to the task anymore.
    2. Progression. When you start, the game warns you that the only way to get EXP and level up is to complete challenges by exploring! This approach made me really excited- gone are the days of grinding thousands of enemies! But few hours into the game I've decided to hang out outside of Hogwarts and I've discovered... your generic RPG. Complete with bandits, campsites, ruins, caves, monsters, "points of interest" and "activities". And guess what? They lied! You still get EXP for exterminating everything that moves! As soon as you attack the next bandit, you're getting an "challenge" to "kill X bandits". And while the main game has some magic to it, the (mandatory) exploration part feels like a middle of the road Ubisoft game, where you run around unlocking the map from one outpost to another.
    3. Plot. Well, it's not really bad. I just expected way more than your generic "hey, you're a superhero... a super-magical-hero! and you got to fight super-ma... no, just your old plain generic evil". Your character has a skill nobody else has, and you have to find out how to use it, and more generic stuff.
    4. Missions. It feels like there are 2 types of these. A go-there-fetch-this secondary quests inside Hogwarts. It felt fun first few times, but it got boring rather fast. And there are main quests- where you go to the place X, watch a few cutscenes, do some combat and see the plot move. What I really didn't like, is the lesson to mission ratio. You're in school, but ultimately, you'd have like 1 lesson and 10 missions of a different kind. I wish they'd let you learn magic more.
    5. Guides and pointers. The game nurses you way too much. It explains puzzles. It tells you how to solve things. It just guides and nurses you way too much. I wish they'd let me explore and find a solution to a puzzle on my own more often.
    6. Woke. It's there. This time, it's not just looks, but voice acting as well. Instead of talking about magic, you'll be faced with... Ughandian? Ugandan? Well, some African countries political and social problems. Feels extremely weird, forced and out of touch. And some voice actors speek such a broken English I can't even understand it.
    7. A feeling of Emptiness. Once you've beaten the initial few quests, completed some puzzles here and there, Hogwarts becomes surprisingly empty. Yes, there are hundreds of NPCs running around, but you can't interract with them. There are cool classrooms, but you can't really do anything there either. It feels like the game is telling you: Hogwarts is just the first location, and you've already completed it. No more magical school experience. This is where the generic RPG begins. It's time to move on to the next location, kill mobs there and level up. Which is not what I've expected. Hogwarts is in the name. I didn't want to kill spiders, wolves, bandits. I didn't want to destroy outposts... But here we are.    … Expand

    The NPCs literally tell you "check the to do list and get back to me to advance the quest".. like.. they don't even bother. The game tells the player to check the quest log, do the chores, and come back. It really feels like a rigid videogame, and a tedious one at that.

    The combat is okay, and so are the puzzles.

    As for the exploration, it's kinda fun if you can put aside the atrocious map you're obligated to deal with to understand where to go and/or warp. What were they thinking?! Baffingly bad.

    Finally, the controls aren't very intuitive, questionable even, and for people hooked on aCcEsSiBiLiTy there's no option to remap the buttons. WHY.

    All and all not the worst experience, but certainly nothing special. Constantly varies from cool little moments to extremely boring, clunky, or annoying parts.

    Mouse+keyboard controls are the worst of any game. Manual targeting doesn't work. Spells harmlessly pass through enemies unless you highlight or tab target them first. And trying to do something as simple as highlighting a target at the center of your screen is a total crapshoot. The most puzzling thing is you can only assign keybinds to 3 of your 25 or so available spells and to use the rest of them you have to juggle between 4 different bars. Makes me wonder if the intern responsible for designing the UI has ever even seen a keyboard before.

    I was curious about this game due to the hype and controversy but it's total disappointment and a chore to play.    … Expand

    It's a hot fanservice game, but it's not a game that will appeal to adults with real gaming taste. If you are a Potterhead, buy it, if not, don't bother because it is a waste of time and money. This is a game that will mean nothing to you.

The spell casting animations and the combat is superb and fresh, I find myself addicted to it! The amount of freedom and exploration is satisfying. I love RPGs and have found myself feeling overwhelmed by some with everything that there is to do. But not with this one. The structure of how this game slowly introduces you to new things is impressive. The stories are intriguing and leave me wondering what happens next. Side quests do not feel forced or simply slapped in the game. Most of the voice acting is well done. After beating the game I went straight to finishing everything else. I have never wanted to 100% an RPG before.

    To conclude, I am very satisfied that the developers chose to not crutch the unforgivable curses. (Apart from some main story battles, but this is totally understandable)

    Portkey Games has given us a beautiful wizarding world that gives you a spoonful of what it may be like to be a wizard at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
    If you have been wondering whether it is worth your money or not and you enjoy RPGs and exploring, then I confidently answer your question by saying yes. You will have an unforgettable adventure when you dive into this.
    So happy exploring, and happy spellcasting!    … Expand

    As someone who doesn't like harry potter, the game and its world is pretty fun. It's optimization is eh however and the game became stale pretty quickly to me. Possibly because of me never really getting into the harry potter series but this game is decent, not amazing like most say, but not as bad as most say.

Juegazo sin lugar a dudas.

    Los puntos destacables que encuentro hasta ahora (16 horas de juego) son:

    - Exploración. Es un mundo bastante grande, con paisajes fantásticos y un nivel de detalle hermoso. Todos los escenarios son bastante interactivos y tiene puzles muy interesantes. Hay criaturas interesantes para derrotar durante la exploración y lugares secretos para descubrir. Realmente es inmersivo y la música acompaña muy bien todos estos momentos.

    - Misiones. Como no-fan de la saga, no estaba especialmente interesada en escuchar una historia extensa para cada misión. Y no tuve ese problema. Tiene la correcta cantidad de dialogo para interesarme en realizarlas, pero no tan extenso como para tentarme a skipperlos. Las clases, cinemáticas, y misiones son muy concretas e interesantes.

    - Combate. Encuentro el combate muy original y sinceramente me costó un par de horas acostumbrarme. Pero muy satisfactorio. Resulta muy divertido aprender los hechizos y que estos sean útiles. Te permite elegir el approach y realmente me gustó.

    - Si tuviera que buscar algún punto negativo, diría que me resulta molesta la voz de las llamas Flu cada vez que me aproximo. Diciendo los mismos 3 diálogos repetitivos. Hay muchos puntos para desbloquear y la verdad me cansa a la larga los 3 mismos diálogos.
    - También el hechizo protego, en la Q, personalmente me resultó incómodo. Lo cambie para la E.
    - Y por último, me frustró un poco al inicio encontrar cofres que no pude abrir porque no he aprendido ciertos hechizos.
    Pero no creo que sean puntos decisivos para el juego, solo mi preferencia personal.

    Es objetivamente un juegazo, interesante y divertido. Cómprenlo, pero comprueben que puedan correrlo primero.    … Expand

Anyway wands length doesn't matter i mean you can choose length but doesn't edit the length really. Character creation: All look like good looking genderless. Apparently cause all of the backlash they got. No patronus/dementors they could have but nope enemy variety falls short too. Wand handle variety mediocre but still better than none at all since you wouldn't hold a want but a wooden stick without them. Didn't really work at wands at all after so many years. No quidditch(bad excuse) or point system or good/dark wizard impact. Lastly not much replay-ability since not much will change and you have already a lot to do with challenges/side quests etc. i was thinking that i would play it immediately after i finish first playthrough but i just couldn't do all that all over again just to have a different house. HUGE disappointment are the freaking exclusives. I pay the same price for pc game as ps5 i don't get why i have less content than them? WHY do i have to wait 1 year? I can finish the game so many times or be done with it by then. WHY do we accept that and we "allow" that? Overall really good game(not perfect but solid) hoping for a much much better installments now that they saw its success. This all come from an honest fan.… Expand

    - No relationship building with students and faculty.
    - No interactions with NPCs. They are just (in)visible husks. They do not react to anything.
    - No House rivalries/drama.
    - No Quidditch.
    - No choices to decorate your Dorm. Contrary to what they made it look like at pre-release trailers. Your Dorm area/bed is just useless.
    - You can't even sleep at your Dorm. Can't sit or do other simple actions.
    - Character creation is EXTREMELY limited. You can only pick between presets. All MCs look the same. White complexion choices are limited. Majority are Black/Philippino/Asian/Indian.
    - The Character Creation character doesn't match the in-game character you see. It looks like the facial rig is bugged. All presets look the same in-game. Where is the "make any character you want" they advertised?
    - In-game character models look like PS2 era graphics.
    - Students and faculty disappear from existence at night. Students are not even at their Dorms. Hogwarts is just empty dead.
    - No curfew at night. You can enter the Restricted Section of the Library and nobody is there to stop you. It's just an abandoned castle. All NPCs disappear!

    Poppy and Sebastian side quests are of similar vain to Triss/Yen/Panam/Judy type of CDPR side quests. They're so greatly designed they might as well overshadow the main game's story. I really enjoyed the subplots going on with these two characters more than the main story.

    The game is magical. It promised magic and it delivers magic. Everything about HP universe except Quidditch has been integrated into the story and quests in a meaningful way. I really did not expect such a scale of events / things that we come across in our journey in Hogwarts Legacy. And then there is the meticulously crafted Hogwarts castle filled with details, lore and ambiance... Not to mention "cozy" Hogsmeade and its lively streets, shops and bars. And then there are other small towns and vistas they've crafted across the highlands. The world they crafted is a joy to explore. Especially with the added freedom and fun the broom or mounts give you.

    There are caveats to the game however, it lacks substantial amount of interactivity within Hogwarts and other students. Mini games and side activities are kept to a minimum. Lore and accurate representation of locations are plentiful but they're mostly hollow.

    Main story is not that interesting, and I could see why they kept it short. Its really a game where you just casually visit Hogwarts, instead of actually being a student in it. Story mostly revolves around outside locations or outside dungeons that has nothing to do with Hogwarts. Being an open world RPG, I can see why they went that route but this ended up making Hogwarts a touristic place instead of actual gameplay place.

    However, a HP fan couldn've exact for a better replica of Hogwarts. They nailed lighting, textures, ambiance quite extraordinarly and that alone deserves appreciation. I'd say similar amounts of effort went into Hogsmeade and surroundings of Hogwarts as well.    … Expand

    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.
