    You’re a 10, Harry!

    Will be a 2023 GOTY nominee at least, and will win some as well.

    I'm 16 hours in right now. The atmosphere is fantastic. The combat is fun. The unnamed NPCs are little more than setdressing but the named ones are great. I love how the game parcels out its content and how it teaches you your way around Hogwarts by making you come back once you have unlocked new spells.

    Occasionally the students robes get stuck to the front of NPCs pants and sometimes you'll have sunlight coming through the castle where there shouldn't be any - otherwise I have experienced very few bugs/graphical glitches.    … Expand

    Absolutely incredible the combat feels amazing and you really get to live in the world jk Rowling wrote to the fullest extent. I've been waiting for a game like this ever since I read the books and so far it has delivered all I want.

    O jogo entrega o que se propõe a fazer para com o seu público alvo. O mundo é vivo, e é possível interagir com inúmeros elementos no mapa.
    O combate é bem intuitivo, e cada magia tem uma função para o combate, sendo possíveis fazer combos.

    Here's an actual honest review since everyone here is either heavily overrating the game or are just trying to "stick-it" to JK Rowling for her view and opinions and taking it out on the publisher.

    Firstly we need to get something out right away... graphically it is sub-par, looks like an upscaled PS4 game on PS5 and I was incredibly disappointed with this, and I tried every graphic setting possible. Another jarring issue with the graphics is during cutscenes the lighting of the textures will just drastically change between camera angles on most occasions; it's just really overall not great.

    With that being said let's give a positive before getting back into it; the environment is phenomenal, and feels alive and you can tell they put a lot of work and passion into building the world.

    This is where the positives end sadly; the voice acting isn't great, and the character development is subpar as well, where I had no emotional connections to anyone whatsoever, and found the choices I made - who I fought duels with and such - didn't affect anything or grow any relationships.

    The quests are horribly repetitive and boring, it's mostly an egg hunt where you just get materials and then come back and the story is riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies.

    Overall it's a hard 6/10, where it's not the virtue-signalling 0/10 people are bombing it with and it's not the 10/10 that delusional people, ones paid off by WB, and/or the ones just trying to annoy the 0/10 bombers. I wouldn't recommend buying this game, and this is coming from a huge fan of the series, be it the books, the movies, and the universe of Fantastic Beasts.

    Thank you for listening to my TedTalk.    … Expand

    Seriously magical game with an eye for detail. It's a game to be played slowly and absorbed with a herculean scale.

    One issue on console is FOV but you get over it quite quickly once you've been around Hogwarts a few times.

    Ruddy solid game.

    This is the ultimate wizarding world game.

    I wasn't going to buy this game at launch. But then the w-ke lunatics demanded we boycott it because JK believes in biology. So I bought the deluxe edition because I hate stupidity and w-keness.

    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.
