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

    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 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!

    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

    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.

    Hogwarts Legacy provides an expansive world of magic and mystery. With a main story that is both whimsical and gritty, and over a hundred side quests, there are countless reasons to ply out an enchanting life in the game. Occasional graphical issues are noticeable but overall negligible to the abundant sense of wonder. Hogwarts Legacy is a spellbinding and enchanting experience not to be missed.

Играть за персонажа, наблюдать за его ростом как волшебника, использовать крутые способности, биться с магами и гоблинами довольно весело только за счет навыков персонажа и красивых спецэффектов.

    The is absurdly repetitive, it smells like an Ubisoft game which doesn't mean it's great. It's fine, above average. I think the first hours are made really nice and engaging but after there is nothing to do because all quests and activities are pointless and boring.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've come back to this rating after trying at it again. I regret doing so. It is a very bad game filled with very bad characters and quests. I really do not understand why people think it is so good. If it was possible, I would score this game negatively. Lots of bugs. A very boring start where you literally go to school and sit through dull and overly eager lessons. Massive and very unnecessary woke liberal assault at certain points of the game (some things JK Rowling is on record being opposed to and its her world. She made this world and whether you like her writing or opinions or not, changing somebody else's art is plain wrong). Quests are classic fetch and tell somebody about it stuff. Why is the only way to get xp by completing certain quests?!?! Not killing anything or learning new things. This removes so much interest and makes things more linear, a stupid decision. Limited inventory and itemisation so far, this feels rushed and incomplete. So many options that could have existed were lost. Why is everybody kind of nice? You can't become a power hungry crazy guy at all and I thought that was one of the things about RPGs. Be good, bad or indifferent is a key aspect. Why are there not gangs in Hogwarts? Groups of people who team up as friendships and have rival friendships? Why is bullying apparently normal and you can't do anything about it apart from fetch the bullied kids silly marbles? Why not have an option to go and have a little chat with the older kids of mistreat her. OR join them?!? Where is the gore? So much to complain about and for that much money it's really not good. I am not a HP fan, didn't really like the books, read a third of one and then put it down. Didn't enjoy the films much either. What I do like is RPGs and what I do respect is the original artist.

    Hogwarts Legacy is an action "role-playing" game that takes place in the Harry Potter universe. Despite being called Hogwarts Legacy most of the games main quest doesn't take place at Hogwarts but instead in the surrounding areas. This is one of my biggest gripes with the game. When I first got to start exploring Hogwarts I was so excited to see this perfect recreation of Hogwarts and howHogwarts Legacy is an action "role-playing" game that takes place in the Harry Potter universe. Despite being called Hogwarts Legacy most of the games main quest doesn't take place at Hogwarts but instead in the surrounding areas. This is one of my biggest gripes with the game. When I first got to start exploring Hogwarts I was so excited to see this perfect recreation of Hogwarts and how I was going to learn the locations of every class and how every hallway connects to one another and be fully immersed in Hogwarts. But the game doesn't really do that because you just fast travel everywhere in Hogwarts and you don't actually spend that much time in Hogwarts. A game called Hogwarts Legacy should use Hogwarts to its full advantage and really get the player to experience their semester there instead of just extending the map further and further away from Hogwarts.
    The game does use nostalgia very well as it hits many of the same important beats and locations that you experience from the movies/books. The mandrake scene, forbidden forest, room of requirement, fighting a troll, polyjuice potion, restricted area in the library, the deathly hallows are all in the game and they pull from the source material well, but it can often times just feel like they are making you remember the original.
    This game reminds me a lot of the Batman Arkham games, specifically Arkham City because thats my favorite one. The similarities are number one in the combat and number two in the puzzle elements of the game. The combat is like ranged Batman Arkham combat. The main elements are dodging, countering, attacking, and racking up your combo. The big difference is in Hogwarts Legacy you often times have to use spells to break an enemies barrier as well as being able to stagger them and do massive damage to them. In the Batman games the camera tends to be better as well as which enemy you have to lock onto where in Hogwarts legacy I can be looking at an enemy right in front of me and it will target an enemy 20 meters away. Having a huge arsenal of spells is super fun to use and it works really well. I played on the hard difficulty and it made the game much more enjoyable, but it did hinder my enjoyment in some of the higher level more tanky enemies like trolls where I would end up doing the same dodges and attacks for 3-4 minutes straight.
    The second part is how similar the Merlin Trials remind me of the Riddler trophies. You use some ability to solve a puzzle and get a small reward. Sometimes you may or may not have the ability unlocked at the time so you may have to come back. But in Hogwarts Legacy a lot of the puzzles are so simple they don't feel like puzzles, like when you just have to destroy the rocks that pop up. It's mostly about walking around trying to find all 5 of the rocks. The progression in the Merlin trials allows for you to hold more gear but by the end of the game I didn't feel any want or need to complete all of them.
    The flying in the game is okay, it is very convenient for getting to new locations but I feel like it makes you observe the world less. But maybe that is because the open world content of the game isn't much to actually do. I did a couple of side quests but they didn't intrigue me that much. I did a couple of broomstick trials and some merlin trials, found a couple of astronomy tables if they were on my way but I didn't really want to interact with the open world. It feels much different in how I would want to do every shrine in Tears of the Kingdom but skip over almost every bubble on my minimap.
    The story is just kinda meh. You're the chosen one and have to complete some trials. A couple characters you don't care about die along the way. The main quest progression is a lot more interesting. I really liked the assignments you would get from your classes. They required you to do some extra off the beaten path type things and rewarded you with a new spell. Some quests required some spells to complete them so completing these assignments was important and it was one of my favorite parts of the early game.
    The relationship quests are all kind of meh as well as the main story with one exception. I didn't care for Otai quest and I liked Poppy a little bit. They were all kinda generic quests with not very interesting themes. But Sebastian's questline is a different story. This questline elevates the game but it also makes me with the game was so much more.
    Sebastian's questline is Sebastians quest to reverse the curse that was placed on his twin sister, Anne. The quest revolves around the "Unforgivable Curses" that exist in the Harry Potter world. The unforgivable curses, specifically Avada Kedavra is one of the worst pieces of lore written into Harry Potter as it just gives all dark wizards something to constantly use; however, it ends up working much better in a video game where there are cooldowns between uses of spells. In one of the early quests in the questline, you or Sebastian must    … Expand

    - 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.

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

    I love this game and have played it to 100% completion. I love the movement, controls, camera work, story, graphics, etc. An easy 10 out of 10 for me!

    Loved the game loved the story albeit it was rather short took me 23 hours of gameplay to complete the story plus the rewards were not that rewarding.
    Only had one instance where there was a performance issue through the entire play through.
    Need to have DLC content now and maybe multiplayer duels.
    Very beautiful game graphically devs done a wonderful job.

    Nice graphics and atmosphere but in terms of gameplay and story it's a bad Ubisoft-like game.

    Great start, tons of potential, but you can tell it's a bit of an "amateurish" work. From distorted, badly mixed voices, to lag and glitches. Excited for a sequel if they ever make one. As far as this one goes, it's pretty average.

    Good atmosphere, amazing Hogwarts and villages, fight system is pretty nice. But the plot is boring, characters are also boring

    Отличная реинкарнация вселенной ГП. Хогварст восхитителен, музыкальное сопровождение замка на высоте. Видно что авторы потратили много времени чтоб насытить школу разными мелочами.
    А вот на окрестности сил не хватила. Карта невероятно большая но выходя за пределы замка ощущаешь скуку, миллион репитативного контента который не представляет особой сложности и быстро наскучивает.

    Отсутствие квиддича считаю преступлением, разрабы обязаны выдать длц с ним.
    Никакого РПГ тут нету, отыгрыш роли отсутствует полностью, выбор факультета влияет только на внешний вид.
    Боевка довольно интересная, выучив все заклинания можно исполнять нереальные трюки на поле боя.

    В целом игра хорошая, хотел бы увидеть продолжение от этих разрабов с исправлением ошибок и более интересным насыщением мира активностями.    … Expand

    The BEST "Wizarding World" franchise entry in years, but also a pretty darn solid game in its own right, Hogwarts Legacy is immersive, beautiful, action-packed and mysterious, though with some missed opportunities.

    Very good game with nice graphics but it is a bit not optimzed, I had a lot of lag full randomly.
    The story and the quests are average but I loved the gameplay because the fighting system and the Hogwarts world are awesome.

    But to be honest with myself hogwarts legacy unfortunately is nowhere near to perfection. Lot of side quest are terrible boring, almost every dungeon is exactly the same, there is absolutely no reason to collect so many clothing, spells are great but the inconvenience of using them is horrible, merlin trials are so annoying and time consuming, not to mention stuttering fps and so many bugged achievements... I've beat the game in 100% and I'm so exhausted... The most boring and daunting platinum I've ever done.

    BUT my first 30 hours with this game was absolutely stunning! Music is brilliant, visuals are breathtaking, exploration and attention to details is unheard of. This game was created with so much love and care that I was left speechless for so many times! My first impression was amazing and it was something I haven't felt for a long time in games. I really regret doing all of the achievements because that was really nasty and tedious thing... Eaven the Sekiro platinum was easier hahah!

    Although I thing that this game is an outstanding experience and I highly recommend it to everyone and especially for HP fans!    … 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.

    Derslere girme, canavar ehlileştirme hatta    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.

    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

    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.
