    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.

    Hogwarts Legacy is a fantastic game.
    I only got about 8 to 9 hours into this game, and I still barely scratched the surface of this game. You can really get lost in this game, from exploring the halls of Hogwarts to exploring the streets of Hogsmeade Village. And for someone who is a big fan of the Harry Potter franchise, this just brings joy to my heart to be experiencing all of this

    Graphics 10/10
    Story (still working through the campaign but so far 10/10)
    Combat 10/10
    Music 10/10

    Overall, the game is a 10/10, I do however have to mention that the game does have small bugs in it. Which is something to be expected in a big open world game like this. But I believe with a few patches from the developers can easily fix those small bugs. But it doesn't ruin the overall experience of the game whatsoever.

    Hogwarts Legacy clearly deserve the Game of the Year for 2023. And it's worth it to pick up if you are a fan of Harry Potter, even if you are not a fan, it's still worth to play it for how big and expansive the game is.

    Besides being a dream come true for HP fans, Hogwarts Legacy can definetly please all RPG fans who enjoy an open world to explore, action packed gameplay, puzzles, quests, customization and even catching fantastic beasts, this game has a lot to deliver to all RPG lovers and is has GOTY material.

    Hogwarts Legacy is like my dream came true. I read Harry Potter first book back in 1998 before the first movie even came out. Since then, I've been wanting Harry Potter RPG where I can visit the bank, visit the town, browse wands, potion, cloak, brooms, etc, visiting hostile area outside school, dueling other wizards/witches
    All of that element are exist in this game and I'm loving it

That being said I am not part of that group of people and I very much love this game and appreciate the time and effort that the people at avalanche went through to create a true Harry Potter RPG experience with shows that if you get people who like what the IP there working on you are more likely to get a show, movie and/or game that people will want to buy and don't go on social media and trash the people who are going to buy your products like certain companies do. Besides that the game has everything you want in a Harry Potter RPG good world building, a fluid combt system, interesting side quests and the world as well as Hogwarts its self is very large and well designed. It makes you feel like you've been transported into the Wizarding world Now there are a few flaws for there is no such thing as a perfect game. First while the game has a character creater it is not go into nearly as detailed as ones like Wo long fallen dynasty or Nigh 2 but that's not a problem I am probably nitpicking because I can't find many problems Because there are more things I enjoyed in Hogwarts Legacy then things I did not enjoy. The compain side quests are one of my favorite things about this because the companies and there story lines were woven into the main plot as were the classes where I had to learn specific spells and skills before progressing while also doing side content if I wanted to In conclusion this is the best game for those who are starting into gaming because of its easy going and more relaxed at times structure and easy to learn mechanics also any Harry Potter fan will enjoy this game
    P.S: if you get the killing curse use it on the students in the castle and see what happens

The main plot is creative, maybe not so dark and adult, but remember HP universe is family friendly. Gameplay is much better than I think before bought the game.

    It's not perfect, but I think there are no perfect games. The gear system is not good at all, some of the side quests are kind of dull but you don't have to do them unlike the recent Assassin's Creed games, so I would have given this game a 9/10. But Avalanche deserve nothing less than a 10 here for this achievement. This surely wasn't easy given their lack of experience with such games and the awful discourse around this proejct, including the boycott threats. But they've given everything they had, poured so much love into this, and somehow they exceeded the extremely high expectations fans had. This is truly a gaming miracle.

    JK Rowling is a horrible person, but the wizarding world is not hers alone anymore. It's the music of John Williams, the art design of Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, the actors from the movies, and now to this mostly-amazing list join the people from Avalanche Software. Thank you for this, I really couldn't have asked for more.

    Despite a few technical issues, the game is phenomenal. The story is engaging, the world is vast and beautiful, the amount of random little mysteries and collectables isn't overly done and quite fun to run around and explore.

    Ouff qu'elle titre épique!

    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.

    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.

Look at the difference between the Metacritic user review score and the critic score. Hogwarts Legacy players overwhelmingly praise Hogwarts Legacy with 10 out of 10 perfect user review scores, as opposed to critics that give Hogwarts Legacy only average critic review scores, most critics praise the game, but not with perfect critic scores as it deserves.

    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.
