    Best Hogwarts Game of the decade since Quidditch Worldcup by EA/Warner Bros. interactive on PS2. Which makes the lack of chess and Quidditch Is missing in this otherwise Stellar outting. This is a master class in Hogwarts games other wise. While I personally would have loved a sim aspect of going to class I Don't mind a "Trails Of Cold Steel" approach to schoolwork.

This is not The Best action RPG ever made, but a great open-world RPG with a lot of lore and a few characters thrown in for good measure., is what You'll find yourself in. when You Start playing. it helps but are not required that you know the extended universe to enjoy, but can set you on a path to another world that'll be yours forever. ;-) Graphically is it a beaut. not technically something to write home about but aesthetically pleasing to look at. fair frame-rate and a Game that keeps you on your toes at all time with technicalities That ask you to cast spells in the right order and in combination to for powerful attacks with attacks of powerful mystical attacks. It's a RPG with Just the right amount of technique and action to achieve a beautiful game that is as vast as your curriculum.… Expand

    Absolutely incredible game. I have spent hours just walking around completely immersed. From the shops of Hogsmeade to the extremely fleshed out Hogwarts, this IS the game every Potter fan has hoped and dreamed for. Well done!!

    Phenomenal game. Had some performance chinks, and could use some updates to polish it, but overall good game. Gotta give it a 10 to compensate for the bombers. ❤️

    I'd give 9.5 just because of lack of optimization in some areas, but rounding up to 10.

    This game is Magical! (pun intended) Every aspect of the game has exceeded my expectations. From the production, the combat and the story. Every detail is top notch, and is the Harry Potter game every fan has been dreaming of.

    Phenomenal, it is both new and old at the same time. For example, there is a moment where you get a sense of a possible connection to the Department of Mysteries while searching the forbidden section of the library with Sebastian Sallow and being separated from him.

Dueling is awesome and the land is plentiful with plenty of monsters and creatures as well as hidden gems. Every detail was taken into account for and the castle is truly special. Potions class with Professor Sharp is my favorite thus far and I can not wait to do more, herbology is really neat as well. There is so much to do and the land is fully exploitable. The story, plot, and characters feel special and alive. I could not be happier and I bought a PS5 in preparation for this exquisite time at Hogwarts. “Wit beyond measure, is man’s greatest treasure”.… Expand

    Too bad some people are allowing what (the woman who shall not be named) get in the way of someone else’s art. She has nothing to do with this game, but yet people can’t make that disconnect. This game is awesome!!

    The open World Potter game you have been waiting for. I got the deluxe version of the game and have played a good deal now. The world is so detailed and magical. All the moving paintings and staircases you expect. Combat is fun too! Hard mode has enough of a challenge to keep this Elden Ring fan happy.

    Ein fantastisches Open World Spiel dass Unmengen an Überraschungen bereit hält. Für mich ein schon lange sehnsüchtig erwartetes Spiel und mit sehr großer Wahrscheinlichkeit mein Spiel des Jahres 2023. Die Story ist ohne zu Spoilern einfach nur der Wahnsinn. Kann es nur jedem wärmstens empfehlen.

    Only problem I see with this game is there are way too many cut scenes, other than that it’s great and could have been a little longer, I have a problem with anyone who gives a game a 10, no game is a perfect 10.

    A fun and beautiful game , not groundshattering but a competent first outing on this scale from a small developper fighting outside their weightclass on this one but standing their ground. these guys have promise.

    no gamebreaking bugs , no exploitive MT's .

    SJW will try and break this one down any way they can , but its a very competent game.

    One of the best games I've played in a long time. As a Harry Potter fan I think I'm actually enjoying it more than GOW Ragnarok.

As a Harry Potter fan I think I'm actually enjoying it more than GOW Ragnarok. It looks amazing and does such an amazing job of bringing the world to life and letting you experience it in a new and exciting way. I'm 25 hours in and just unlocked beast taming. I get to design my own magical beast rescue and room of requirement for growing plants and brewing potions. The game is part puzzle, part combat, part collector, part house builder, part animal breeder. The broom flight feels great and the world itself feels so well crafted. You can go inside every door and unlike most open world games the interiors do not feel cookie cutter. Everything is highly detailed. The combat is also a lot of fun. I had my doubts about a magic only combat system but it works so well and the magic combos end up being a lot of fun especially in some of the harder encounters. Puts Forspoken's magic based combat to shame.

    Don't listen to any reviews giving this game a 1/10 or super low rating because they're hit pieces reviewing JK Rowling as a person because they refuse to actually play the game or accept that it's good because Rowling offended them.    … Expand

    Hogwarts Legacy has a great character design and could have had a great story too but the story is not so strong. the gameplay feels great and exploration is so entertaining. visually its great and Hogwarts castle is so detailed.

    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.
