    The game is well named as the best thing about it is Hogwarts castle. If you are looking for the experience of being a student in the Harry Potter universe then this game does a great job of giving it to you. The plot, and the surrounding countryside, are very much secondary to the fun of exploring the densely detailed castle.

    The other great feature of the game is the combat.. Didn't think that wand combat could be that fun and dynamic, but it is really well realised.

    There is a ton of content in the game, with the downside that the second half can drag a bit as you spend much more time out in highlands, and the whole thing loses some of its wizard school focus.

    Overall I spent around 90 hours in the game, which was way more than I ever intended.    … Expand

    I know nothing about Harry Potter but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I'm big into puzzles, and this game is majorly puzzle driven, so that's one reason I loved it. Also, the sense of mystery and discovery inside Hogwarts is amazing - you could spent 50 hours in Hogwarts alone discovering all its charms. Great story, great characters and great side quests too.

You have to keep in mind that this game was developed by a developer who had only worked on double a titles for disney before this, and so you can't exactly base your opinion on the facial animations and cutscenes simply off of what they are, you have to take into account that this is an inexperienced developer, and you can't really expect all too much from a dev like them.they did a great job making the game feel, sound and look amazing. I don't care what the people who believe JK Rowling is a bad person say about this game, because she's already a zillionaire and so it makes no difference, and all of those people are just ridiculous enough to believe cancel culture and not actually do any research for themselves. I honestly think that the little visual glitches and stuff at launch are fine due to the fact that this, yet again, is Avalanche, so it's going to have some issues, and since there is a site dedicated to report bugs on the first page of the game's website, they should absolutely have all the bugs fixed within the first month with ease. I think that if the game gets a nice dlc to build playerbase, then it can keep that already massive playerbase for even longer than any other open world games. For a massive fan of the franchise (the books in particular) it is a dream come true and I recommend it to anyone who is, or ever has been a fan of the books/movies (but mainly the books since that's what they based the castle design off of).

    A love letter to Harry Potter fans. The game is rich with details and winks to the movies and books; a very enjoyable experience to just wander the Hogwarts castle or the little hamlets across the map. That being said, there are "flavor chatter" that is heavily repeated all the time, and can be annoying.The game could be a little more polished, and has several bugs to be fixed.

    One of my favorite aspects of the game was the ability to soar through the skies on a mount, engaging in exhilarating battles against goblins with my trusty magic wand. The combat mechanics were surprisingly enjoyable, proving that fighting with a wand can be incredibly entertaining. It exceeded my expectations!

    While the story may not be mind-blowing, it is definitely satisfying. I've discovered so much about Hogwarts through this game, and it has truly expanded my knowledge and appreciation for the Wizarding World. With all its fantastic elements, I wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts Legacy becomes a strong contender for the title of "Game of the Year" in 2023.    … Expand

    Absolutely stunning world with an amazing story, although some of the companion questlines don't feel as well fleshed out as others. Combat is fun but controls somewhat clunky. The content outside of the main story was not very entertaining. The gap between beating the final boss and finishing the main quest line was so tiring I almost put the game down before finishing it.

My biggest gripe    A richly detailed world with fun gameplay and fun stories makes Hogwarts Legacy the ultimate Harry Potter experience, even if you don't know a lick of the stories. Full review:

    With the plethora of open-world video games flooding the market, they're becoming increasing cookie cutter, with most adopting Ubisoft's formula of icon-filled maps and side stories to complete. My biggest gripe with these games, though, is how often they feel empty. Even Breath of the Wild, though unanimously praised for its innovation, didn't have a great "open world." The bulk of interesting map points are tied to aesthetically copy/pasted temples and simple puzzles for minimally rewarding Korok seeds; but this is just to highlight how special it is when an open world game makes the world feel truly realized, and that's probably Hogwarts Legacy's biggest strength.

    Exploring the castle grounds and its surrounding areas always feels rewarding and interesting, and it's helped by the uniquely rich world of the Harry Potter universe. As someone who's seen the movies but never really got "into" the whole franchise, I was entranced by all the flora and fauna, all the characters' and their stories, all the background details, and of course all the cool spells you can learn.

    Hogwarts Legacy's combat plays like a spellcasting class in Dark Souls, without the tremendous challenge. You lock on to opponents, hit them with combos utilizing your various spells like Incendio to light them on fire or Accio to yank them towards you, and dodge roll or parry their attacks. At its core, HL's combat is simple but once you start unlocking Talents, you can really tailor it to your playstyle. Luckily, despite the late game becoming a bit repetitive, utilizing talents keeps the combat feeling fresh and consistently fun, even if it becomes diminishing returns after a certain point.

    The story is intriguing, but it's clear that the game is meant to be played by a younger audience as well. It doesn't go anywhere super controversial or interesting beyond its initial story, but the cast that comprises both the main story and its side quests are all fun and engaging, adding to the beautifully realized world of Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, etc.

    Graphically, the game really shines and while it likely won't contend with Horizon or The Last of Us for truly mind-blowing, it's incredible how real the world and its inhabitants feel considering how fanciful and magical they all are. You'll get the usual uncanny valley in some facial animations and often hear the same voice lines over and over as you traverse the world, but these are minor gripes for what otherwise feels like a lived-in universe with gorgeous foliage, skyboxes, and of course all the bombastic special effects when the magic starts flying.

    Hogwarts Legacy is a win-win: it's the ultimate Harry Potter experience for those who got into the franchise while also being a great introduction to the universe for total newbies. Even without the HP knowledge, it's a fantastic, dense open-world experience that feels as fun as it is to watch and listen. Once you feel the groove in combat, it's hard not to smirk when you take down a troll or an evil wizard with a thunderous bolt of lightning or disarming them and beating them with their own weapons. THIS should be the blueprint for open world games going forward, as well as video game adaptations.    … Expand

    Das Schloss Hogwarts ist kurz gesagt einfach nur phänomenal. Ab der ersten Sekunden und den ersten Schritten die man durch das Schloss setzt fühlt man sich heimisch. Alles wirkt bekannt und vertraut und die Erkundung hat bei mir in Summe wohl 20+ Stunden verschlungen. Durch die Filme hat man stets den Eindruck man kennt sich hier aus und war schon öfters vor Ort. Auch Orte wie Hogameade wurden mit viel Liebe zum Detail entworfen. Sobald sich das Spiel aber über diese Orte hinaus entwickelt verfliegt dieser Zauber etwas und man taucht in eine doch etwas leere und öde Open-World ein, die stets den Eindruck macht austauschbar zu sein.

    Die Geschichten rund um die Hauptquest sind ganz gut erzählt allerdings ohne die ganz großen Highlights. Die nebenquests allerdings wirken oft sehr einfallslos und sind eher beschäftigungstherapie. Das Kampfsystem macht Spaß, jedoch auch hier ist nach etwa der Hälfte des Spiels der Zauber etwas verflogen und man erwischt sich immer wieder die selben Tastenkombinationen zu drücken.

    In Summe überwiegt aber der Spaß den ich am erkunden hatte und die Zeit, in der mich das Spiel in die Welt von Harry Potter eintauchen lies. Klammert man dies aus, wäre es wohl allerdings ein höchstens durchschnittliches Open-World Spiel gewesen.    … Expand

    Hogwarts Legacy surprised me enormously.
    Not being particularly a fan of Harry Potter, I was suspicious to see how it was possible to adapt this adventure in video games.
    I must say that Hogwarts Legacy enchanted me with its captivating scenario, its pleasant gameplay (even if we can say that we spam a lot). The lifespan remains correct and the side quests remain quite interesting.    Hogwarts Legacy surprised me enormously.

    On the other hand, a little disappointed with the world map. It is not easy to use and is not intuitive enough.
    This game is a success and I highly recommend playing it. You will not be disappointed.

    The perfect Harry Potter game for fans. Did pretty much everything I hoped it would do.
    The world looks great and the combat feels better than I expected.

    Hogwarts does seem to have a lack of NPCs on PS5 unfortunately, which makes it feel a bit empty.

    Graphics are really good
    There is a "creative" mode area though I didn't spend much time there

    Cons
    - The story is quite boring and convoluted
    - The hippogriff looks great but flying it is pretty boring as it's quite slow.
    - Some of the voice actors were so cringe. It's like they were pulling characters from the nerds in Canis Canem Edit but with none of the humour or self awareness.
    - The room of requirement was not required very much for me. The animals were an interesting idea but did not feel fleshed out enough. It seems like an awful long winded route to get feathers and other consumable ingredients from them when any other game would just have you pick these up in the wild. It would be different if the animals themselves gave you some form of skill/perk/upgrade/buff rather than a feather or hair to use to upgrade your gear.
    -The gear numbers etc meant nothing to me I just kept changing to the highest numbered gear and felt no difference throughout the game.


    The story I found myself skipping a lot of cutscenes. As much as I love harry potter, the story didn't cut it for me and found it a bit convoluted. Firstly focusing on goblins and you instantly know who the final boss will be but then it goes off on tangents and you start following another main story and you think oh ok where is this going and then its like they forgot the goblins were there and had to rush then back in at the end. The gameplay is the main draw for me. The combat feels fresh for the first half of the game but doesn't add much else towards the end. The world is well crafted with a lot of interesting places to explore and recognise, many areas are created to look like the films while many others have new original takes on them. I can't say they're an improvement, especially the areas with the classical music playing, I find them pretty annoying because it never ends.

    I wish there were more side quests and with hints to lore rather than some of the mundane ones we got.
    I wish there was more to do other than the story and side quests. I think quidditch is the obvious answer but of course we are getting a separate game for that so it's like we can't expect an open world Harry Potter game to include quidditch anymore.

    I enjoyed the game for the most part and would recommend it especially to any Harry potter fan but there are some drawbacks to the experience.    … Expand

    Hogwarts castle just left me speechless. It's the most detailed thing I've seen in any video games. Full of mysteries, puzzles, characters and side quests. You really feel like you're a student yourself.

    In the end, this was a perfect experience. Congrats to the teams at Avalanche and Warner Bros., you did a very good job!

It's massive and rich lore from the wizarding world. Story makes sense to the lore to which I was worried but no it was done with care. The game is massive and when I say massive it's large open world to explore deep pass the Hogwarts grounds. Story is basic nothing too hard to understand however wish it had more oomph. But it's a good story and setups for a sequel in my point of view. Hogwarts Legacy gives lot's of stuff to do like collecting pages, demiguises, keys etc. And they do reward you with unique costumes and brooms. The game is very customizable with wand handles and outfits. Also you can sell your clothes but won't lose in transmog. You can collect Fantastic Beasts and breed them and also they give you materials to upgrade your outfits and perks. Spells can be mixed with charms and defensive spells or offensive. Yes, you can use the unforgettable curses. Side missions are a hit and miss though however they don't take too long to complete, side stories are among the best here as I called them loyalty missions. There are mini games like arenas, broom time races, dueling and others. Not as much but they do have their rounds. You can brew potions and use the most OP cabbages to attack your enemies and they are extremely OP. I have no negative things about Hogwarts Legacy, it's a magical experience to walk the halls of Hogwarts as I have imagined when I was kid and once you hear that theme from Harry Potter it will make tear up and excited. It's lengthy and my 80 hours of 100% everything my score is a 10.

The game is definitely worth your attention and recommended for purchase!… Expand

    the setting was great and the gameplay was better, but the dialogues of the characters were poor and the story is average.

    Other than that this is a very enjoyable game.

    This is the dream game for every fan of the Harry Potter/Wizarding world universe that everyone waited, the open world landscape is amazing, the plethora of spells combos you can do, THE MUSIC (especially the one before the last boss fight that "everyone" gathers) was magical, the story was executed perfectly and kept it mysterious and exiting to the very end, excellent combat mechanic andThis is the dream game for every fan of the Harry Potter/Wizarding world universe that everyone waited, the open world landscape is amazing, the plethora of spells combos you can do, THE MUSIC (especially the one before the last boss fight that "everyone" gathers) was magical, the story was executed perfectly and kept it mysterious and exiting to the very end, excellent combat mechanic and feels great on the Dualsense.

    For someone like me growing up with HP movies but never became a fan (maybe I should had read the books instead), this game sparked me a new interest for the HP universe.    … Expand

    What does Hogwarts Legacy excel at? It excels at “collecting” stuff. You collect spells, potions, and complete a list of tasks for rewards. The other part Hogwarts Legacy does very well is its combat. I was very skeptical of it going in, but both the simple puzzles and the combat are satisfying; but also very repetitive.

    The game’s a lot of fun. It’s a little cutscene heavy at the start, but a lot went into the music and art to make players feel like they really are at Hogwarts. For example, each dorm room has unique architecture. It’s nothing short of awesome.

    The story and characters were, for the most part, great. I appreciated the thought that went into some puns made by the characters and the lore scattered throughout the world kept me engaged. I found myself rooting for some of the characters. For me, the game really picked up once I could fly.

    Tutorials were barebones, which often meant it took a little extra time to figure out. The Alohomora spell in particular I couldn’t figure out until I looked it up on the internet. Another aspect of the game that fell a little short was the quantity of voice actors. It felt like all the villains had the same one or two voices. I know that the protagonist had a limited number of voices to choose from. I can understand some overlap, but it felt a little like missed potential there.

    Wandering around the school or interacting with characters, you always do so *alone*. While I may have liked certain characters, and some characters may have invited me to do a couple things, I didn’t really feel like I was making friends. This led me to believe that I would prefer a social-focused take on Hogwarts. Fun as the combat is, I’d prefer to get into mischief and interact with other characters.

    The last criticism I have is how the theme was disrupted because the game was trying too hard to be diverse. There were too many accents in the game. I wanted to feel like I was in Great Britain, but you have transfer students and transfer professors who are given the limelight for good chunks of the game, and I would have rather stuck with the British accent OR gone to a magical school in another country and stuck to THAT accent. If it were a Wizarding school in France, then I want a French culture, if it was one in Korea, I’d want a Korean culture—I’d be irritated if English characters weaved their way in as an integral part of the game. I want a celebration of culture. And I want an imperfect cast of characters—that includes artistic license to create good and evil characters without things getting political.

    In conclusion, this is a good game. This game IS very diverse. Improve the secondary characters, or the puzzles, or increase the number of voice actors and added quidditch, or improve the “school” feel of the game and you’d have a masterpiece. I’ve heard rumors of an intended sequel, but to capture my interest, the game must improve its core gameplay by making the game feel less like a repetitive collection grind.    … Expand

    Had an absolute blast playing the game. The castle and word are extremely detailed and there are loads of things to do. However, some of the side activities got really boring as they got very repetitive after sometime.

Almost all the gameplay mechanics are well done. That being said so many things regarding gameplay feel like a one or two generation old open world game. So while polished, it's very repetetive and moves to chore territory very soon. The worst part of the game is by far the story and characters. Towards the end all of it was extremely frustrating, poorly written stuff, where characters motivations were unclear and illogical. I was just glad I was done with it. I was realy frustrated towards the end with the story and the characters. But still, there were many good parts and the world was truly amazingly done.… Expand

    Hogwart Legacy est une Oeuvre video-ludique qui s'agence avec la Saga Harry Potter. Ce titre vous offre une expérience personnalisée au sein de Poudlar comme étudiant en 5e année.

    Ce qui rend ce tire symbolique pour la Saga est que tout à été méticuleusement incorporé. Que ce soit les clins d'oeil aux livres et long-metrages, vous vous plonger au coeur d'une expérience voire une situation d'un élève ou d'une élève à Poudlar. Le titre ne résume pas simplement qu'à l'école de Poudlar. La Map reprend le rythme de l'ensemble de la Saga Harry Potter pour offrir une immersion la plus possible. Les graphiques sont appliquées, réussis et les personnages sont incroyablement bien réaliste. L'interface demande une certaine étude en elle-même. Propre à elle, les possibilités de personnalisé les sorts, potions et équipement sont équilibré mais nécessite une certaine adaptation.

    Beaucoup de facultés propre à la sorcellerie se découvre au file de l'expérience.

    Le travail en générale est d'une réussite légendaire. Les symboles, les décors vous propose introspection et un travail en soi en quête du language perdu.

    L'ambiance au cours de l'expérience est saisissante et sera rendre le titre à la hauteur des attentes.

    Ce titre ne vous laissera pas indifférent, que ce soit néophyte des Oeuvres cinématographique et ouvrages ou érudit de la thématique.

    Cet expérience video-ludique vous plongera dans l'utopie ultime de Poudlar et des environs.

    Game Of The Year 2023? C'est un peu la suite à expérimenté après avoir vécu Elden Ring. Vous serez par contre inévitablement un sorcier pour certains ou un mage pour d'autres. Par contre pour un GOTY, il faudra faire preuve de surprises aux joueurs par l'ajout de plusieurs autres possibilités. Quoi qu'il en soit ce titre sera certainement nommé. Bonne expérience à vous.

    Le quiddish?!? Plusieurs personnes appréhendent un DLC ou une mise à jour multijoueur. Si cela est véritablement une surprise, ce sera un incontournable dans les compétitions à suivrent participer voire parier dans les prochaines années. Ce serait ultimement très pris au sérieux et annonce un succès Magistral.    … Expand

    Hogwarts Legacy is definitely a beautiful-looking game that doesn't have a groundbreaking story, but does have a beautiful world, a fun combat system, broomstick flying, and of course an incredible amount of side quests and missions. [Issue#325]

    It's been a decade since we've had a full Potterverse game, but the wait has been well worth it. Hogwarts Legacy gets just about everything right, with its involving storyline and myriad of main and side quests. Perhaps its finest feature though is Hogwarts itself, providing as much joy in just exploring the halls as performing set tasks. We doubt a single Harry Potter fan will be disappointed. We certainly weren't.
