    Its a really fun RPG with a nice soundtrack, good graphics and beautiful design. I watched the movies long time ago so I just remember a few things but either way it didn’t affect my understanding of the game so far. Game runs pretty great, haven’t noticed any major bugs to my surprise. Very solid early-release launch.

    Game is absolutely amazing, not perfect though but it works amazingly well. It deserves a solid 9 for me, I put 10 to counter ppl who say 0 without playing the game.

    The developers clearly put a lot of heart into this game and a lot of attention to detail. Always something new, unique and interesting to do and see

    Eu que sou fã tanto do filme quanto do livro, ja joguei os jogos do harry que teve do ps1, falo que esse hogwarts legacy me surpreendeu muito. Foi Jogar de verdade um jogo praticamente do jeito que imaginava quando lia os livros. Gostei do jogo e estou curtindo muito ele ate agora. a cinematografica fico explendida e tem muito mais muita coisa para se explorar

    Otimo jogo, bem optimizado, " joguei na Ps5".
    Uma história interessante, as aula sao bem divertida e no meu ponto de vista, conseguirão fazer de forma a não se tornar seca. Recomendo o jogo para quem é fã de harry potter ou para que gosta de rpg.

    This is so much better than I expected. Best graphics I've seen since Red Dead Redemption 2, and a surprisingly interesting plot. The open world is huge and Hogwarts castle is the biggest labyrinth Ive seen in a game.

    Exceeded my expectations and more, years of waiting was absolutely worth it.
    The game appears to be VERY polished, you can tell the developers made it with love and did'nt take any shortcuts. Runs flawlessly on the ps5 too.

    The game we all wanted when we were young playing on the ps2. Don't let the controversy dissuade your purchase of the game. She didn't develop the game. Best game I've ever played, minimal bugs. Great experience.

    This game is what open-world games should inspire to be. The puzzles are plentiful and enjoyable. The overall aesthetic is fantastic. This game is flawless in its combat system and allows the developers to expand in the future if they desire.

    The game was already spoiled by some angry lgb cry babies that hate enjoyment of people that don't like their agenda so my tip is avoid twitter, they put spoilers everywhere.

    Despite a few technical issues, the game is phenomenal. The story is engaging, the world is vast and beautiful, the amount of random little mysteries and collectables isn't overly done and quite fun to run around and explore. I definitely forsee many dlcs to just add life and value into the game even more.

    Excellent game. Exploring Hogwarts is a joy, the rest of the world is fun to experience and role play in. I only have passing knowledge for the world of harry potter and I have found myself immediately immersed in this game and world.

    I’m blown away by the graphics, it’s God of War like. Also the combat is quite good, a lot better than I thought it would be.

    Well worth a 10 rating and hope they add expansions.

    INCROYABLE que dire d'autre ? Le jeu tient ses promesses. Une réussite sur de nombreux point : l'ambiance, l'histoire principal, les musiques, la durée de vie, le système de combat agréable. Bref deficile de décrocher du jeu.

    This is the best and most content-rich Game i've played in ~20 years of gaming. It has it's performance issues here and there, but pretty sure this will become better.

    I bought the deluxe edition and thought i will refund as with the last 70$ games i bought and turned out to be garbage. Thats actually the first game where i feel like the 70$ were actually more than worth it.

    This has to get 10/10, otherwise idk what people think how a perfect game should look like.

    Also, when you consider buying the game, don't forget that there are many negative reviews from the toxic corner of the lgbtq+ community. Ignore them & don't think all of them are like them, thats just the regular toxic people which exist in every bubble.

    You gotta have to play that, no lie. If not, you missed the best game you can get, specially compared to the last 5 years.

    This is what i expect from any AAA studio or big budget games.    … Expand

    Full of bugs. Combat is worse than Dark Souls from 11 years ago. Story is mediocre and that's probably giving it too much credit. Open world isn't nearly as full as say Skyrim or The Witcher 3.

    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.
