    If you grew up with the books or movies, then this is the game you’ve always dreamed of. I didn’t really, so I came in with a good bit of skepticism and thought it would be your run-of-the-mill open world game, but I was sorely mistaken.

    This game starts out on a THUNDEROUS note and completely immerses you in a magical world. The castle of Hogwarts is the most impressive interior space I’ve ever seen in a video game, both in size and level of detail. The combat seemed overly simple in footage online but once you get your hands on it it’s surprisingly challenging and fun. I can’t stop thinking about this game at work. I know lifelong fans of the series must be positively ecstatic about this game.    … Expand

    This is the game all of the fans of the wizarding world have been waiting for. The castle itself is a tiny open world in a fantastic open world. Its just addicting exploring the landscapes and little villages and learn the variety of spells.

    It's the game fans have always wanted. Great story, likeble characters and decent gameplay. It feels like a Harry Potter game even if it isn't, and aesthetically sticks the it's roots.

    The game is also probably one of the most multi-curtural and LGBTQ+ friendly games I've ever has the pleasure of playing. It's done in the right way.

    truly an amazing game especially if you are a fan of the following: harry potter, RPGS, and not letting the woke mob tell you what you can and cant buy. The combat is nice, the character creation is more than what i thought it be, hogwarts itself is huge and expansive.

    If you put aside some small optimization issues and audio glitches - probably will be fixed with the Day 1 Patch - it is a well fan serviced video game beautiful sceneries, amazing soundtrack and smooth gameplay in every aspect. A dream come true for every hard Potter fan.

    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!

    Definitivamente deberia ser nominado al GOTY; creo que tiene mucho por delante, que probablemente salga en formato de DLC, como partidos de Quidditch, mas hechizos, e incluso hasta un modo online.
    Debo comentar que los controles, son algo dificiles de usar, en la escoba y a la hora de lanzar muchos conjuros rapidamente son algo incomodos, pero el resto esta de maravilla.    … Expand

    Was not expecting this game to live up to the hype, however after over 30 hours in game, it just keeps delivering ! There are multiple varieties to the story also so replayability seems great (not started a second story yet). My only criticism being that the inventory management system being a bit tedious.

The combat is challenging and feels so smooth, and most of the puzzles are fun trying to solve. The environment is so immersive and the artwork/design is absolutely brilliant. The story so far is great and fits right into the wizarding world with out making too many drastic changes. I do wish there was a morality meter though to kind of tell if you’re a good or dark wizard from the actions and spells you choose to wield. I wish the house common rooms had more uses as well. Also being out of bed past bedtime doesn’t really have any effect like it normally would in the HP stories. But no game has made me crave to rush home from work every day just to jump right back into it. I love this game!… Expand

    Absolutely a master piece, I’ve bought this game after knowing the controversy and I have to say I’d disagree on the whole thing, they hit this off to the park. My friend that is transgender does not like what the other side is doing to the whole “controversy” she is hoping this will pass and not have influence for the opposite side of thinking trans people will have worse rep out of this.

    I wouldn’t have even been aware of this game had it not been for all the calls to boycott it. I’m
    not a Harry Potter fan, I couldn’t care less, but the more controversial it got the more I paid attention and i’m absolutely loving it. Just finished an Elden Ring run through,
    and now onto this. I bought several copies to supplement the loss in sales the boycott may have wrought.

    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.
