    Decent game, but have a lot of bugs and feels a bit cardboard like ubisoft games, overrated 100%.
    Combat system is decent, story is boring,overall activities like planting seeds and potion craft feels like a mobile game :D, graphics are okay.

    Good game until you glitch into the map after 40 hours with no way of fixing it. Apparently this is a common problem, and it still hasnt been fixed? Pathetic. I wonder if they are even going to bother fixing the problem, or just whether they will be happy to screw over the customers.

    A game that every nerd that likes the HP franchise, and probably people that don`t, expected. Amazing game with good stories. The animals, the mechanics, the quest, the fidelity with the lore, the fighting... If you thought that battling with a wand would be something boring... well, it isn`t. AWESOME game!

    This was honestly the game I dreamt about since the first time I watched the Harry Potter movies. The world imagined by JK Rowling is so damn well put to life in Hogwart's Legacy.

Combats feel good with all the spells you can do, traversal is amazing with brooms, hippogriffs and thestrals, graphics are amazing (except maybe the faces), and the story is very good (with a lot of references to the Harry Potter books' lore). Merlin's trials are a bit repetitive but man I enjoyed every single one of them.

    Hogwarts castle just left me speechless. It's the most detailed thing I've seen in any video games. Full of mysteries, puzzles, characters and side quests. You really feel like you're a student yourself.

    In the end, this was a perfect experience. Congrats to the teams at Avalanche and Warner Bros., you did a very good job! I can't put a score lower than 10, I just wish they expand the Wizarding World lore with other games like this one, but maybe in other countries, that would be awesome. Play the game, I can't recommend it more!    … Expand

    This video game is very good. The graphics were good but could be better. The story didn't interest me that much. The open world is well crafted. It could be better, but overall, I can rate this game well.

    Hogwart and Hogsmeade are absolutely wonderful, a masterpieces of building. The atmosphere in the castle is a total success. The gameplay is fun and the flying broom feel right.
    All that being said there is a real disappointment, everything else feel so generic, without any soul. I was expecting more of a "Bully" type of game, but didn't really have the school vibe.

    Après 25h de jeu. Bilan global : jeu ultra sur côté

    Les + :
    - L'univers
    - La modélisation de Poudlard

    Les - :
    - Répétitif
    - Jeu trop facile (même en mode difficile). C'est réellement un jeu pour initier des enfants au RPG.
    - Les dialogues sont enfantins.
    - Trop de loot, donc pas d'effets de rareté ni de challenge
    - les textures et le graphisme de manière globale

    Very good game, but the story lacks excitement. It seems like a side quest that goes a long way. If you love harry potter you will love this game, but a lot of potential was wasted here, with a very good story, the game is a 10/10.

    I thought Hogwarts Legacy was really good. I felt immersed in the world, something you don't get from the movies. Towards the end I got bored though, because of the the repetitive gameplay. The story could of been better but the visuals were top notch. I found myself stopping to admire the world around me, it was absolute eye candy.

The amounts of time you can spend on this game flies as you play this game and can honestly say, I couldn't wait yo start the game again in a different house. The writting strays away from the Potters and focuses on the school and ancient magic that is such a bold move that it should be applauded for its successful risk! Yes, some bugs and glitches were in the game, but not enough to ruin the experience, especially since after the first patch. I will say that even though I loved it, there were some things that I would have liked to see, but over all, this is a must. If you haven't played this game yet, get yourself a copy and experience being a kid again in the wonderful school of Witchcraft and Wizardy!… Expand

    Very good game and still fun for those like me that didn't read all the books. Pace is almost laid back at times, which was nice when I didn't want tons of combat. There is quite a bit of fighting at times and it was often enjoyably intense. Character moments were passable, although I doubt the story will dazzle too many people.

Pace is almost laid back at times, which was nice when I didn't want tons of combat. There is quite a bit of fighting at times and it was often enjoyably intense. Character moments were passable, although I doubt the story will dazzle too many people. The magic system is the best part (and is definitely better than how you start with the basic attack) and the world looks beautiful and is generally interesting to explore. However, years of open world games have drained me, and I enjoyed this game by only playing the main and select side quests (I don't do the 'points of interest' anymore- I have other things in life that need some of my time) On that note, the PS exclusive side quest was surprisingly extensive. Loot is too bountiful, and the system to upgrade was not for me so I used the same kit for the entire 2nd half of the game. Overall, it's a very well-made game that gets a bit samey if you try everything on the map, but I never felt like I was being smothered in the same amount of open world bloat like many recent games have dumped on me. When it was all over, I actually wish there was more to the school experience at Hogwarts in terms of things to do, but I get that the game felt the need to expand beyond that location to stay fresh.… Expand

Great to see a Triple A game do well, especially at release and not "fix it months later". It caters a lot to a casual audience and that is fine with me. More people being able to pick up and play this is great in my opinion.

It's massive and rich lore from the wizarding world. Story makes sense to the lore to which I was worried but no it was done with care. The game is massive and when I say massive it's large open world to explore deep pass the Hogwarts grounds. Story is basic nothing too hard to understand however wish it had more oomph. But it's a good story and setups for a sequel in my point of view. Hogwarts Legacy gives lot's of stuff to do like collecting pages, demiguises, keys etc. And they do reward you with unique costumes and brooms. The game is very customizable with wand handles and outfits. Also you can sell your clothes but won't lose in transmog. You can collect Fantastic Beasts and breed them and also they give you materials to upgrade your outfits and perks. Spells can be mixed with charms and defensive spells or offensive. Yes, you can use the unforgettable curses. Side missions are a hit and miss though however they don't take too long to complete, side stories are among the best here as I called them loyalty missions. There are mini games like arenas, broom time races, dueling and others. Not as much but they do have their rounds. You can brew potions and use the most OP cabbages to attack your enemies and they are extremely OP. I have no negative things about Hogwarts Legacy, it's a magical experience to walk the halls of Hogwarts as I have imagined when I was kid and once you hear that theme from Harry Potter it will make tear up and excited. It's lengthy and my 80 hours of 100% everything my score is a 10. And those Merlin trials are ridiculous alot but hey I still had fun with them and also that extra quest was the best side quest in the game. My score is a perfect 10.… Expand

    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.
