    I had high expectations for this game and was afraid of being letdown but as high as they were, this game blew them away. Too early to call it game of the year but I’ll bet anything that it’ll be in the conversation.

    The best single player rpg in the Harry Potter's universe. The world is massive, Hogwarts is full of secret and easter eggs, i love this game and i'm really happy i finally got a chance to be part of the wizarding world! A must play for every fans. If you like a challenge i suggest to switch the difficulty to hard.

    I am a 33 year old father of a young 1 year old and playing this game made me relive my childhoods dreams. If you grew up around The Harry Potter books/movies or not this is top tier best in class games of the past decade. Worth every dollar and I paid for deluxe edition!

    N'en déplaise aux furieux de ma pensée. Ce jeu est excellent, d'un respect colossal à l'œuvre. Et si la totalité des zones ne sont pas égales en elles en termes de beauté et d'intérêts... ce monde ouvert est incroyable d'immersion !! Grand oui

    I feel like they made this game for fans and kids that have never played a real RPG before.

    Anyone that has played witcher 3 or similar before wont touch this

    Lets not even mention that your main character feels looks and acts like a gigantic wuss waiting for balls to still drop, no matter what cosmetic you buy.

    Get during a sale, and even then only if youre not super RPG familiar.
    Apparently theres some dumb drama revolving around the game and author. I couldnt care less about that woke garbage dispute. All I care is if the game is fun or not and it just, is not. Zzzz    … Expand

    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.

    The game is so weird in the way it’s trying so hard to be “gender fluid” makes me sick. Super liberal feeling game don’t buy. Game play isn’t great either, don’t have a very open world feel. The map system is horrible too.

    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

If you're a fan of American RPGs with loot systems, fun combat and dungeons (which aren't repetitive by the way) you'll also like this regardless of the IP. It can find itself in some pitfalls like fetch quests, but that's because the developers came from something like Cars 3: Driven to win to an open world RPG, so the flaws it has can be improved with either DLC or a sequel. Your brain will learn to overlook the ugly because you'll just get hooked.… Expand

    The first few levels are boring. Going to class to learn skills is tedious at best. Was hoping it would get better once the basics are out it the way but it didn't. The open world isn't fun to explore outside main quests. Chests don't really have much interesting in them, few rewards for defeating enemies.

    Character customization is a bit lacking but the in game customization and items to pick up makes up for it in my opinion.

    This game is the perfect Harry Potter Experience. There are a lot of things to do, to explore, to discover. The facial animation is kinda meh but it's ok, I love the gameplay and expecially the Combat system at higher difficulties. And the inclusion of the Unforgivable Curses is just amazing. The best part is that the LGBT community is enraged by it, that's why I bought the Deluxe edition

    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.
