    Dziedzictwo Hogwartu będzie dla wielu graczy spełnieniem wielkich marzeń. To bardzo mądrze poskładana gra, wykonana z ogromnym sercem, która wielokrotnie sprawi, że nie tylko najwięksi fani serii Harry Potter będą z łzami w oczach poznawać kolejne wątki i czerpać garściami z tego świata.

    Can you imagine Bully in a Wizzard world with today's technology? There you go! Really fun. Easy to learn, very good movements and fun game play. A beautifully created open map, and awesome dynamics.

    Absolutely amazing experience worth every Potterhead's attention. Very nice entrypoint for a potential HP fan aswell, but it does pay homage to alot of things from the books and movies.

    Really good game, a few problems where it doesn't run very smoothly on PC. Otherwise it's a really good adaption for the HP universe. The map is huge.

    Furthermore, it’s funny how all the negative publicity so called streamers were trying to direct towards the game inevitably lead to its increase in popularity.

    Excellent game, visually looks great - combat is fun and effective. Music is also lovely, I sometimes just sit and listen to that lovely little go getter.

    p.s broom flying around to some pirate sea shanties hits the spot.

    The definitive Hogwarts experience for fans and non-fans alike. Just wandering the expansive halls, rooms and secret areas of the castle alone will keep you hooked for hours. It looks amazing, runs great on PS5, and really transports you to the greatest wizarding world ever.

    Bravo WB and Portkey games for bringing the wonderful world created by JKR to life. This has been one of the top games I have ever played. It’s not perfect but the cons are few. Mostly some quality of life issues I hope they can update

    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.

    Graphically, this game hits the nail on the head. Whether you're walking around Hogwarts, visiting Hogsmeade or exploring the British countryside, what you are seeing is very pleasing on the eye, and rather surreal. (NPCs aside, which are very robotic and lifeless outside of the main cast)

    Don't expect the depth of Witcher 3 or Skyrim. Think more of a God of War on a Ghost of Tsushima sized map. It's a very good starting point for these games to flourish into something magical. Expect DLCs and expansions for sure! A solid 8/10 with room for improvement further down the line.    … Expand

When it comes to gameplay - fighting is pretty simple but impressive. You can cast a lot of different spells, not only during the battles but also during the exploration. The game's RPG core seems to be simpler than in some other games in the genre but it doesn't really matter. What matters is the experience and it's superb! I really don't know what else to say, I'm just extremely glad that this game came out.… Expand

    Fun game love the feeling at being in Hogwarts but it does have a few bugs but i would recommend since exploring the castle to the surrounding area is fun and only downside is some battles feel abit repetitive but love solving some new ones

Also hoping to see some improvements in the main game because npcs need to seem more alive. We want to see better npcs like they are in The Witcher 3 as they could made us believe they are really living people in that world.

    I really appreciated this game is living up to the hype. As a Hp fan, I really love the great character building, the amount of personalization you can do and the immersive world they built. But from a gamers’ perspective, it lacks depth in the story and it lacks diversity in enemies. It comes nowhere near games like horizon forbidden west, last of us 2 or god of war.

    Perfectly captures the magic from the books. Giving it 1 higher point due to the retarded boycotting, even from major publications. Never before has a game been so "controversial" for definitively wrong reasons.

    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.
