    A very polished Ubilike open world game with a harry potter finish, nothing you haven't seen before in terms of function.
    It's amazing to see Hogwarts realized on the nextgen, the people who did the world design are the True MVP's of Legacy.

    Buenísimo juego en la plataforma equivocada. No solo por los fallos de rendimiento y demás, si no lo que le exige a la consola, que se calienta como un volcán. Además si tienes la versión física del juego, el lector sonará de tal manera que tendrás que jugar con cascos, lamentable.
    En definitiva, un gran juego, pero si quieres jugarlo en condiciones, te recomiendo la Series X.

    I think the game is great. It has lagging, absolute **** story, and a lot of other issues but i think it just is really good. I haven't even gotten a broom yet, and i can for sure say the world is great. There is a lot to do in between main quests, which is great. Overall good, has issues, some of which may still be fixed later.

    This game is amazing. If you’re a fan of Harry Potter (and even if you’re not) you are going to love this game. It’s an open-world RPG set around magic, how could it be bad? The reason for the low ratings is due to the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling’s views. This has nothing to do with the game. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time on a single-player game!

From the opening scenes to the quest-to-quest interaction, this game understands how to spin; indeed a tale worth telling. Gameplay is unique, not perfect, but far better than most of us expected and, in some places, incredible (I suggest tweaking some of the default control options involving the camera). The sheer amount of detail packed in every inch of this game is staggering, indeed a love letter to the fans and just a fantastic achievement to the average gamer.

    Please don't listen to all the haters; they are mad at the series creator, a survivor of abuse herself, for being leering at people pretending to care about human rights while 100% ignoring the reality of the situations for others at the same time. She has virtually nothing to do with this game, so they attack it because they know they can't hurt her directly.    … 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.

El Gameplay es buenísimo, después de ver muchos videos previamente al lanzamiento, pensé que sería muy repetitivo, pero cuando entré al sistema de "talentos" me quedé sorprendido. Cuando veo un enemigo me emociono porque no se si voy usar una poción, o que sistema de combo para derrotarlo, o una combinación. Todos los quests se me han hecho muy entretenidos y de verdad que el HUB del castillo de Hogwarts es enorme, me sigo perdiendo en el y eso me gusta. Que te puedo decir, es un juego que me falta muchísimo por explorar, pero no dejo de pensar que este juego en manos de una empresa con más experiencia en mundos abiertos como Nintendo o Fromsoftware, pudo haber destronado al Zelda Ocarinca of Time como el mejor juego de la historia.

    No es un juego perfecto para muchos críticos, pero como dicen, las cosas se toman de quien vienen, y es un estudio con poca experiencia en mundo abiertos y tomando eso en cuenta y su esfuerzo, definitivamente se merecen un 10.    … Expand

    Great visuals, story, music and gameplay. The combat feels smooth and fluid whilst maintaining a high skill bar.

    Shallow, repetitive and unimaginative.
    This game is just a cash grab using a mediocre writer's story

    Everything you could have hoped for aside from a mediocre story and weak characters. The main bad goblin should’ve been more political and shadowy instead of the lazy big bad orc. The characters a really soft. Some student rivalries would’ve been nice. They treaded lightly. Hopefully they take more risks in the future. Could’ve been a 10 but got in their own way

    Best wizard sim I've ever played, really emersive and fun. I've waited a long time for a good wizarding world game. If they add quiddich I will give it 6/5. x

    After about 10 hours, fun games. A few issues on the PC side (even though I'm running a 3070, I9, 4TB NVME and 32Gb RAM!!). Hope they fix performance issues soon!

    Perfectly captures the magic from the books. Giving it 1 higher point due to the retarded boycotting, even from major publications. Never before has a game been so "controversial" for definitively wrong reasons.

    Let's not get it twisted, this is a buggy game, but it's also a magical experience. The camera is too close to the character, but also the environments are a delight to behold.

A vast amount of references, Easter eggs and nods to the books and movies can be found alongside an array of new ideas and we'll developed mechanics. So much excitement and wonder to enjoy in exchange for tolerating only a little whinging drivel from a minority of protest hardened activists.

    It’s the Harry Potter game I’ve been waiting for since I saw the first movie and played the first game! As a 30 year old man, it makes me feel like I’m 10 again! So much magic and so many places to explore you’ll never get bored. 80 hours could easily be dropped on just exploring the surrounding valley Hogwarts is in. A rare 10/10 for me.

El juego te engancha mucho y la historia no es nada de otro mundo pero no está nada mal, hay muchas cosas que hacer en el mundo y muchas secundarias entretenidas, es parecido al the Witcher pero con lore de Harry Potter

    Hogwarts Legacy has a great character design and could have had a great story too but the story is not so strong. the gameplay feels great and exploration is so entertaining. visually its great and Hogwarts castle is so detailed.

    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.
