    It reflects the Hogwarts universe really well. I like the game very much and I'm playing it slowly.

    It's the GOTY game for me. It just calls you to explore every corner, check every single tile of the game to see what's happening, i never had a game like this attracting and i am not rushing it to finish because i know i will not have a game like this a long time. So enjoy this masterpiece and i hope it will have a Hogwarts Legacy 2 game.

    It's a beautiful game
    Unfortunately, this game has been attacked by toxic people in society.
    People whose behavior and way of thinking are more harmful than anything else.
    But the fact is that this game is good.
    And the opinions of those people do not change the reality

    Haven´t had this much fun with a game for a while. I love Harry Potter, and this game is one I have been waiting for a LONG time. There are some issues, as there are with many games that just come out. This is hopefully addressed soon enough, but nothing game breaking. There´s is a lot to do I don´t even go to class just because I wanna explore the world the built around Hogwarts. TheHaven´t had this much fun with a game for a while.

The story is engaging and game play is awesome. I played on hard since the beginning, and it felt at sometimes like dark souls based on how many times I got whooped. I do love a challenge tho, and I love this game. And even better, the potential mods that can come for it for this version are gonna be lit.

    Last Time I was so hooked in a Game was when Elden Ring got released. I love how many Details and Eastereggs are in the Open World and especially in the Castle itself.
    I have 0 performance issues. Usually I get above 100 FPS on Ultra Settings. But I heard a lot of People have Issues with the Performance on PC especially with NVIDIA GPU’s. But from my Point, this Game is a solid 10/10.

    Also considering that it's the world of witches and wizardry, it just adds to the magical universe that J.K's world gives with all the fantastic beasts, magic casting system, character customization, vast lands and etc.

    Even if you'd rather be your regular self and not become a new race, gender or etc. to which I have to state again is completely customizable for the trans and other communities so that they are able to play the game as whoever they identify as. the game still adds so much more detail and content that makes "Hogwarts Legacy" a true love letter to fans old and new of the harry potter franchise and will possibly become one of, if not the most greatest harry potter game of all time.

    I've had so much fun, I strongly recommend the game and if not then that is completely fine, it's your choice whether to buy it or not. Just don't let your decision be manipulated by all the nasty haters who tried boycotting the game simply because they didn't like the author of the HP book's opinions on an unrelated topic. I apologize with bringing the topic up but people such as them rather see no one have fun then to not completely win a very complicated argument.

    so be sure not to listen to such toxic arguments and look for the more constructive criticisms of the game from people who genuinely find "in game" problems, this will help you decide whether to buy the game or not so that you know what you'll be possibly experiencing during your first playthrough as a 5th year student at the greatest school in the wizarding world, "HOGWARTS".    … Expand

    Steamlink Audio Issues? No dialogue while playing Hogwarts Legacy??? This fixed mine…

    You need to set your sound settings to STEREO in both Steamlink app on TV as well as in Windows. Go into “sounds” in Windows and you should have a Steamlink audio device there, it’s most likely configured for 5.1 by default. Set it’s output to stereo.

THEN in Steamlink app on TV adjust the sound from 5.1 default to Stereo. That fixed it for me. 5.1 Surround simply does not work at least for me. I run a Sonos Dolby Atmos sound bar with sub and 2 rear speakers so unless the audio was coming from two front left and right speakers which makes no sense as it should be center channel…idk.

    Plays great on Steamlink for me but I run a modern high end router and modern high end TV with latest WiFi standards built in so experiences may vary.

    As for the game? It’s been really fun. I got Hufflepuff…Gryffendor at first but I like the underdog thing. The castle is meticulously represented and even entering a place in game for the first time feels familiar, and what’s fun is learning new skills like in any game actually is now in a school so it makes sense lol.

    Ignore the political BS, if you’re a gamer, don’t deny yourself the fun.

    Only complaint is I wish we had more

If your views do not coincide with the views of the author, you do not need to make him persona non grata. Maybe it's a problem in your head? The developers of the game tried to convey the whole atmosphere from books and films, the graphics are at an excellent level (PS5) and I enjoy exploring the world, flying without a broom and using spells against goblins and other enemies. I don't regret buying this game. I want to point out that there hasn't been anything so delightful in the Harry Potter universe for a long time. All these newfangled political views and the flow of feces due to other people's views can only harm the development of the world. Do not touch the beautiful Universe of magic and this game, leave it outside of your "new" and "correct" outlook on life..    … Expand

    The sound effects and voice acting is incredible and immersive to the point it feels like I'm truly there in game.

    Hogwarts Castle is so well done it feels like it was pulled from my imagination.

    The Forbidden forest is so incredible and alluring that it actually provides an ominous feeling.

    The map is so ALIVE and vibrant, it's just stunning.

    (Apparently there are people saying they have had performance/FPS issues?)

    I have had no issue(s) in that capacity game play wise or other etc, it has been a smooth and fun ride.

    The Game itself truly truly felt like coming home.

    VERY VERY VERY GOOD GAME!

    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.
