    Was genuinely surprised by how good the game is. I had high expectations and it managed to surpass them. Tye gameplay is fire and the story is just next level. Absolutely loving it

    One of the best games this year. And the best one about the Wizarding World hands down.
    Negatives are broken RTX support (at the time of writing), a mostly empty world and repetitive puzzles (Merlin trials).

    The game has stunning visuals/graphics and a Decent combat system, so why am I rating it so low? Because the story and dialogue choices are poorly written/done. Everything else would be fine but no dialogue option made any difference making me actually not want to play the game and rather watch all cutscenes on YouTube aka I wouldn’t have bought this game for the story.

I thought there would be branching choice trees and what you did would effect the outcome but nothing actually changes. The game starts out impressive I always wanted to explore hogwarts and I got to for a few hours until I realized that that’s all it offered in creativity. I think it’s a decent play if you go in knowing nothing matters else I wouldn’t buy it if you really want to know what happens and the process just go watch anyone’s play through nothing would be different.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rating of the game: 5 with a huge minus / 10. - Absolute mediocrity in everything. From the beginning to the end of the whole game you will be told how good you are "just like that" and even after passing the game you do not know anything about your character. You will communicate with "incredible" lifeless plush characters.

    - The main villain of the game is a goblin who took offense for being called names. And he decided to kill everyone for it. - It is not difficult to assess the strength of the further plot. - You will be given a great opportunity to be a "chosen" messenger on errands in countless exciting bring-and-serve quests. - If you are a seventy-year-old woman who has no one to talk to, it will be very pleasant and fun to listen to every NPC who will tell you his incredible biography from conception to the present day... If you thought these would be fascinating stories (NO). - Distribution ceremony, Yule score, Quidditch game, trips with the faculty to Hogsmeade - no. Running after goblins and creatures on the edges near Hogwarts - yes. If that's how you imagined the magical world of Rowling - welcome! I personally don't see it that way    … Expand

    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.

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.    … Expand

    The only story that was worth engaging in was a side quest, the game still has woke elements, there are too many empty repetitive "go kill x amount of Y" or "go fetch x" style side quests, inventory system is annoying, puzzles are repetitive and the merlin trials are necessary.

    There's no point to grind the repetitive tasks other than cosmetic rewards to grind repetitive tasks in game. I already do that in real life.

    Pleasant atmosphere, interesting mechanics and systems, good realization of Hogwarts. Nonetheless, the game has some issues with game design, but the biggest problem for me is left-wing agenda with diversity and feminism on every corner without any logic in Scotland 19th century.

    Absolutely abysmal game. Maybe the worst game I've ever played. I could go on for hours about how I don't like J.K. Rowling as a person but that's not what we're here for. The gameplay is so boring. The story isn't true to the original plot whatsoever. Worst game I've played since Super Mario Sunshine. Absolute disappointment.

    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.
