    You can tell that this game was made by people who really care about the Wizarding World franchise. After so many years of horrible Harry Potter games, this is a HUGE leap in the right direction.

    Fedelissimo a tutto ciò che viene detto nella saga letteraria, ambientazione immersiva e ricca di dettagli, combat sistem divertente e che non risulta noioso alla lunga. Il gioco è divertente e coinvolgente e non è quasi mai noioso.

    I didn’t think it would be possible to recreate the magic of Harry Potter 1) without JKR 2) in a video game, but I’m so pleasantly surprised. If you’re a fan of HP, play it right now. If you like open world RPGs, play it at some point for sure.

    Amazing game, faithful to the source material, huge world, good graphics, fun combat
    Broomstick flight is terrible though. Left stick for left/right and right stick for up/down.
    Makes 0 sense. No logic behind it. Feels awful.
    And you can't look down while flying.
    They really need to fix broom flight

Für mich ein schon lange sehnsüchtig erwartetes Spiel und mit sehr großer Wahrscheinlichkeit mein Spiel des Jahres 2023. Die Story ist ohne zu Spoilern einfach nur der Wahnsinn. Kann es nur jedem wärmstens empfehlen.

    NOSSAS PRIMEIRAS IMPRESSÕES - HOGWARTS LEAGCY

    ✅Primeiramente gostaríamos de agradecer a Warner Bros, por ter disponibilizado a chave gratuita do jogo para que, possamos trazer conteúdo para o canal. Ficamos muito felizes pelo voto de confiança no nosso trabalho. Muito obrigado mais uma vez. ✅Hogwarts Legacy é um RPG de ação e mundo aberto ambientado no mundo apresentado nos livros de    NOSSAS PRIMEIRAS IMPRESSÕES - HOGWARTS LEAGCY

    ✅Primeiramente gostaríamos de agradecer a Warner Bros, por ter disponibilizado a chave gratuita do jogo para que, possamos trazer conteúdo para o canal. Ficamos muito felizes pelo voto de confiança no nosso trabalho. Muito obrigado mais uma vez.

    ✅Hogwarts Legacy é um RPG de ação e mundo aberto ambientado no mundo apresentado nos livros de Harry Potter. Agora você pode assumir o controle da ação e criar sua própria aventura. Descubra a sensação de viver em Hogwarts enquanto faz aliados, luta contra bruxos das trevas e, por fim, decide o destino do mundo bruxo. Seu legado é o que você faz dele.

    ✅Obs. As versões de Hogwarts Legacy para PS4 e Xbox One sofreram uma alteração na data de lançamento. A Warner Bros. anunciou que os ports de antiga geração só chegarão em 4 de abril de 2023 — por outro lado, as edições de PS5, Xbox Series e PC lança dia 10/02/2023

    ✅O motivo da postergação não foi detalhado pela companhia. No Twitter, a empresa se limitou a dizer que “querem trazer a melhor experiência possível em todas as plataformas”. A Warner Bros. ainda anunciou a data de lançamento de Hogwarts Legacy para Nintendo Switch: 25 de julho. Antes da publicação acima, a janela de estreia do RPG no console portátil ainda era um mistério.

    ✅NOSSAS IMPRESSÕES

    ➡️Bom, tivemos boas impressões do game. Uma experiência incrível que ao mesmo tempo conseguiu entregar um elemento nostálgico porque o game traz muitos esteregg, todos baseados nos filmes. Vamos agora ao que interessa: Gameplay.

    ✅GAMEPLAY/JOGABILIDADE

    ➡️ Tivemos uma impressão bastante positiva da gameplay porque ela está bem fluída e proporciona uma imersão real ao mundo de Harry Potter. Neste mundo, podemos ter a experiência de sermos bruxos e estudar em Hogwarts nos meados de 1800. No jogo podemos criar o nosso personagem e vivenciar várias aventuras dentro do universo da mágia. Embora o jogo não seja uma adaptação direta dos livros da J.K. Rowling, ele retrata muitos fatos que aconteceram nos filmes e nos livros e isso torna a experiência muito mais legal e divertida.

    ✅GRAFICO/DESEMPENHO

    ➡️ As versões de PS5 e Xbox Series X possuem cinco modos de configurações gráficas, incluindo modo com ray tracing e com modo qualidade oferecendo 1800p e 30 FPS sem ray tracing. Enquanto o Xbox Series S oferece três modos gráficos, mas nenhum com ray tracing. No modo ray tracing, nota-se a aplicação do recurso em sombras e reflexos.
    ➡️ E o que falar do gráfico? Um dos mais bem feitos até o momento. Logo de cara, podemos destacar facilmente o reflexo, a sombra, tudo com muito capricho e carinho. A gente nota que eles trabalharam duro para trazer a melhor qualidade gráfica, com riqueza de detalhes, tanto dentro do castelo quanto fora, cada cantinho, o detalhe dos quadros, dos objetos, etc. As expressões faciais estão também muito boas, muito mesmo.

    ✅JOGABILIDADE/COMBATE

    ➡️Joguei por mais ou menos 10 horas. A jogabilidade está incrível! Tive um pouco de dificuldade na movimentação da câmera do jogo, mas o restante está muito bom. Na parte do combate, você pode ter um pouco de dificuldade no começo até pegar bem os movimentos, mas quando pegar é muito top os combates e também é muito divertido. Aqui tenho um adendo, em alguns momentos da minha jogatina, o jogo teve alguns bugs, mas nada que atrapalhe a gameplay.

    ✅EXPLORAÇÃO/COLECIONÁVEIS/MINI GAMES

    ➡️Bom, sou suspeita em falar de exploração e colecionáveis porque é uma coisa que simplesmente amo fazer nos jogos e no aqui tenho certeza que vou ter varias e varias horas só de exploração. A forma de colecionar os itens também é muito interessante, um exemplo são colecionar as páginas de livro que ficam voando e você precisa usar um feitiço específico para poder coletar essas páginas. Os mini games são muito legais porque não são mini games comuns, todos remetem aos “jogos de bruxos”, além de serem muito divertidos.

    ✅TRILHA SONORA/LOCALIZADA PT-BR 100%

    ➡️A trilha sonora é um show a parte. Para quem assistiu os filmes do Harry Potter, vai saber reconhecer várias músicas do filme. Outra coisa que está muito boa mesmo no jogo é a dublagem brasileira. Se você prestar a atenção nos movimentos da boca dos personagens, a impressão que temos é que o personagem é brasileiro, porque é quase perfeita a movimentação da boca.

    ✅CONCLUSÃO

    ➡️Portanto, o jogo está indo muito bem até o momento que joguei. Estou curtindo bastante ele e olha que nem sou tão fã assim de Harry Potter, mas o jogo consegue trazer uma experiência ao mesmo tempo dentro e fora dos filmes.    … Expand

    First of all, let me get this out of the way: I stand with Rowling, who has never said anything hateful or transphobic. In fact, she supports trans people. She just doesn't believe the rights and safety of female-born individuals should be taken away in the process of equal rights for trans people. I stand with this.

    Second of all, I'm not a fan of the HP universe. It's okay at best.    First of all, let me get this out of the way: I stand with Rowling, who has never said anything hateful or transphobic.

    Second of all, I'm not a fan of the HP universe. It's okay at best. It's not that original or imaginative, and I don't think Rowling is a great writer. In fact, if it wasn't for the hate and backlash aimed at Rowling - who only wants to champion the rights of female-born individuals - I wouldn't have bought this game. So the boycott just straight up failed, sorry. And guess what? Outside of Twitter, like 90% of people all over the world agree with me.

Brought back many childhood memories of being lost in the books, wishing I could experience that world for myself. This game is your best chance to do so. Creating your student is fun, although I wish there were additional customization options. Graphically, the game looks wonderful. Not the most breathtaking thing I’ve seen once you leave Hogwarts, but it’s more than suitable. The castle itself is where the game truly shines. On multiple occasions, I noticed myself slowly walking through the well detailed halls trying to catch every subtle addition. The developers included references and objects I hadn’t remembered in over twenty years, and they clearly dedicated themselves to recreating the atmosphere of Hogwarts. Graphical glitches have been very minimal, I had only one occasion where something really messed up in a cutscene and it pulled me out of the game. Gameplay is solid, I love the easy and quick way you can switch between spell selections. Casting spells is snappy and the feedback is great. Doesn’t feel at all like some weird magical first person shooter, thank goodness. Fast travel is relatively easy, although sometimes you’ve really got to do some running in the countryside to get someplace. I am one of those people who believes there is no 10/10 game, and this game does have some things missing that I would’ve loved to see. There are relationship quests and side quests, but 98% of fellow students are just there to walk around and repeat dialogue. It would’ve been great for more classmate interaction, say inviting somebody to go to Hogsmeade on a whim. Often I’d finish quests hoping to get to play the resulting activity, only for it to not be an option. Find all of a students gobstones and want to play a game? Sadly, not an option. No romance either, which I guess would be a little iffy due to you being 17 in the game, but at least some nights out at Hogsmeade or spending time with someone in a relationship setting would’ve been fun. I’m sure it could’ve been pulled off without being creepy. I have not played all the way through, and I understand they wanted to make the main quest seem urgent, but I was also hoping to have more of a student life. I’d love to attend more classes, and have it say add up to doing well on exams. Dedicating time to study or inviting a friend to study with you. If you spent all your time exploring and completely neglected studying, your grades would slip and your house would lose points. It’s also weird to be able to freely wander around the castle at night, considering students were confined to their dorms and punished if they were caught being out. Missed opportunity for stealth. Again, maybe these will be added later in DLC or I just missed them. But no Quidditch? That’s a sin. No Goblet of Fire or other tournaments? No feasting in the Great Hall with your housemates? Can’t believe those weren’t included. So, final verdict, should you purchase this game? If you know at least a decent amount about this series and want to relive some memories and get those nostalgia feels, absolutely. It’s great getting to be 7 years old again, and stepping away from the not so magical real world. Every game has flaws, and some things are really lacking and missing, but overall you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a shot.… Expand

    Very good. The world feels like on the level of RDR2 which is so rare. Similar to the excellent spider men games how the game´s open world plays. The setting feels fresh and throwing spells around is excellent with M&K.

    Performance is great, and hardly and bugs in the first 20h.

    It is a memorable experience.

    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.
