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

    An astonishing accomplishment. The game manages to embody the feeling of the world of Harry Potter and do it in a way that feels distinct from the world we have already seen. The story is interesting and has enough to it that it keeps you engaged and there is enough to do that you can never claim to be bored and best of all, very little repetition of activities.

Different game mechanics and activities are just what you always wanted to do reading books/watching films. Music is amazing and helps immerse in Hogwarts, voice acting is very good, too. PS5 graphics (fidelity + ray tracing) are really nice, especially global lighting and changing of seasons.
    Work with DualSense is really impressive (immersive), casting spells and riding a broom are my favourites, but I have been only 25 hours of pure fun and slow exploring.
    I rated this 9, because obviously there are some problems in release version, but which can be easily fixed by developers: -impossibility to sleep and very weird skip time mechanics (not immersive because of many reasons)
    - the biggest issue for me which does not allow to completely immersive in this Wizarding World - empty dormitories during nighttime, like all the students are suddenly gone (this is really cringe). All rooms which should be habitant are empty including professors. I understand this is pure technical complexity to add this sleep course, but that is a downside for me to fully immerse into this story and gameplay - Outdated dialogue mechanics, lack of dialogue choices. It’s really strange to see characters entering dialogues in same way as in Mass Effect or Skyrim (this can’t be fixed I’m afraid and we’ll have to live with this). Let's be fair - many dialogues are super-simple, side quests are quite boring, BUT it doesn't really matter in this particular game.
    - different glitches with animals / npc, but that’s ok with me really, it happens everywhere, fixable with patches
    - most of the side quests are really weak, it’s a shame :( BUT, it’s fixable with additional content at some point and of course in amazing sequel we await. Lore is amazing itself and I really believe you will come up with brilliant new content, whether it be DLC or sequel.
    - another thing - why can’t you sit on a chair/bench in Hogwarts, just listen to music for example and look around, just watching students and professors do their stuff. You can even create chairs and benches, but you can’t sit on these. - different items you can interact with are cool - but globes are way too many. It's like they are obsessed with geography there. All these things I've mentioned are just purely minor issues which won't allow me to put a 10, which is amazing by itself!
    UPD after 50 hours. I’m giving it a 10 instead of 9 as the emotions I got after randomly revealing some secrets and trying some new mechanics made me absolutely happy like a Hogwarts fifth-grader. It’s unique    … Expand

    Ever since the first Harry Potter movie hit the theaters, every fan of this series have always dreamed of attending Hogwarts as a student. While the movie licensed games certainly scratched that itch, they all ranged from ok to bad. Now with this game, I'll say that Hogwarts Legacy is a masterpiece.

While the movie licensed games certainly scratched that itch, they all ranged from ok to bad. Now with this game, I'll say that Hogwarts Legacy is a masterpiece. I'll admit that the gameplay trailer from a year ago made me a bit nervous for thinking the developers were to ambitious in showing how much they put into the game and they wouldn't be able to live up to the hype that was built up. Safe to say that they delivered on everything they promised and even more than so. This game just kept on giving and giving. A huge world the explore with a lot of tiny details everywhere, attending classes to learn new spells and meeting other students with unique stories. The overall story is really captivating and interesting and follows the themes of the books and movies with a lot of mystery and intrigue. The characters, while not the most super interesting bunch like Mass Effect, they are interesting enough for you to actually care about and want to learn more them. The attention to detail the developers put into this title is absolutely crazy; said many times to myself that they didn't have to go that far, but they did it anyway. Tiny details like a student floating in the halls while his 2 classmates in panic trying to help him down. 2 armours standing next to each other and doesn't get along and one of them beats the crap out the other. Visiting Hogsmeade and enter Zonkos or Honeydukes, these stores serve no purpose what so ever to the story or any side mission but you can visit them and interact with stuff on the inside. Walking down the halls of the school and every student talking with one another about different subjects or experiences really added a lot to make the world feel more alive. Even side characters you join up and help can appear in the halls and say something random to you. Not a single AI or NPC felt like a face put there just to populate the world, they felt like real characters. Even Peeves shows up here and there to prank students. Gameplay is immensely fun, weaponwheel usage to attach spells of your liking and all grouped as different colour for different usage. You even get to learn unforgivable curses if you so wish. Spells could also be used for puzzle solving and many puzzles left me scratching my head for how tricky it was to solve them. Customisation is crazy, so many pieces of clothing to make your character look however you want with the added option to pick a clothing item with good stats and change it's appearance to whatever you want. With no microtransactions at all! (bless you developers for not adding it) If I have to nitpick a little bit, there were very few options to customize your wand, I personally wanted one to look similar to Sirius Black's but couldn't. There's no Quidditch (though I understand why the developers didn't design a side mission type for it). There's no inventory storage wich is a bit annoying of you want to keep certain cosmetics. But none of these nitpicks took away from the overall experience I had a big smile on my face throughout my 52 hours it took for me to beat this game. I rate this game 10/10, near perfection. This is a game made by fans, for fans. If you love Harry Potter, I urge you to pick this title up, you won't regret it. I can't wait to jump back into this title to see what else I can do differently, choosing another house and going for different dialouge options just to see what else I missed. I really hope for a sequel, a trilogy even. And next, maybe ad an option to become an animagus, learn the Patronus charm to fight dementors or even visit London and Diagon Alley for some unique missions.… Expand

    Absolutely FANTASTIC Game!!! As a Harry Potter fan, I always wanted a game like this. You can explore whole Hogwarts + Hogsmead and other smaller villages. The Story is nice, but there are some things you only understand if you watched the movies or/and read the books. And this makes the game even more interesting.

    This game is simply stunning. As someone who is not really big into the universe but has watched the movies, I can appreciate all the work that has gone into this game. The castle and other locations look pretty much spot on from the movies. Everything that is going on as you traverse the areas feels so alive and looks so beautiful.

    If you grew up a Harry Potter fan and still have Hogwarts in your heart, this might be a dream come true. Hogwarts Legacy is exactly what you'd expect from an open-world RPG set in this universe. Immersive and beautifully crafted, with lots of spells, challenges, beasts, quests, combat and great storytelling. It's so much fun, you could drive 100+ hours without feeling it.

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.

    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.
