    Completely satisfied with the game! Great script, character selection, the atmosphere of Hogwarts and the magical community. I'm on my way to beating the game 100% and replaying different houses and conversation scenarios.

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 game is amazing. One of the best games I've ever played. There have been some FPS drop issues and stutter problems that have been an issue on PC, but other than that it's been a wonderful experience.

    Absolutely Amazing Game! Thank You to EVERYONE that had a hand in making it!

    The Detail is Perfect, The Story is Amazing! Gameplay could have a small adjustment here and there in terms of mechanics (flying) , but still incredible to the point of barely noticing. The animals/magical beast are on point! Beautiful and extremely well designed. The sound effects and voice acting is    Absolutely Amazing Game! Thank You to EVERYONE that had a hand in making it!

    The animals/magical beast are on point! Beautiful and extremely well designed.

    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!

    Fully and Completely Recommend playing it!    … Expand

    Amazing game. Honestly in my top 10 favorite games of all time. Sure the frame rate can drop sometimes but besides that the game is beautiful and is full of content. I can’t get enough. One of my favorite features is the gear you can equip but change how it looks to other items you’ve found. You can tell the people making the game are real gamers. Not a cash grab at all

    As a Harry Potter fan for 20 years, I finally found the game I wanted. The many interactions you can experience while traveling to Hogwarts and learning powerful magic are very interesting. I'm looking forward to additional contents!

    This is just a dream come true for longtime Harry Potter fans. Is this the next Breath of the Wild? No. But it's an amazing open world game with decent immersion and a literal ton of things to do.
    Make sure you update to the latest drivers for your video card though, was a little choppy before I did that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has good and episodically fantastic plot moves. However, I (SPOILER) regret the quest to transform into a headmaster. The character acts like a child from a sitcom of the 90s, pretending to be an adult.
    The battle system is nice and feels smooth. However, the roll is broken. If you make a roll like in souls, then you should be able to dodge damage and not magnet an enemy just because you rolled 1 nano sec early.
    The graphics are good no complaint, and the optimisation, at least on my 3060 is good. Stable 60fps.
    Loved the plot twists, but again mad that even though I decided(SPOILER) to consume the pain magic at the end, it did nothing on the gameplay after it.    … Expand

    If you're a Harry Potter fan like me this game is a must play. I'm about 25 hours into the story and it's very very good. If you are just a fan of games it's still a very good game an I highly recommend it. The combat is very very satisfying once you begin to master it. Can be basic on the RPG side of the game but the world and Hogwarts more than make up for it.

    It's not a perfect game, but to every fan of Harry Potter it's a dream come true, a vast open-world, an interesting story, gorgeous graphics, good and fun characters, and an incredibly fun combat system, it doesn't do many things new, but it's a great game and i personally loved it.

    This game is an absolute game of the year candidate. I couldn’t find this much joy in a videogame since Breath of the Wild. And this is coming from someone who never read the books or watched any of the movies (but I’ll certainly now).

    One of the things that stood out to me immediately about this game is the fantastic music. The soundtrack immerses you in the game's world from the moment you start playing. I normally turn off the music in most games because it's frequently a distractor.

    The collectibles and quests are fun to work on and complete. Whether you're exploring a new area, completing a puzzle, or fighting enemies, there's always something interesting to discover. The game strikes a great balance between challenge and accessibility, so you always feel like you're making progress.

    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.
