    Amazing game. This is coming from someone that never really got on the HP bandwagon. The world, quests, lore and battle system are all great. I do find it pretty easy once you get a wide variety of spells so you may want to bump it to hard later in the game.

    The one missed opportunity is the lack of enemy variety. I felt like I was fighting the same 5 things the entire first half the    Amazing game.

    The game has everything a Harry Potter fan could ever dreamt of in a video game (beside Quidditch), it's like my childhood dream comes to life. The combat is also surprisingly satisfying although I didn't expect much from it at first. And it works really well on the PS5 right at launch, that alone is a huge thumbs up, every Graphics modes works exactly how it's supposed to.

    This game is magical, in all its manifestations, forcing you to experience the same magical moments that the experiences and main characters of the books.

    I'm so glad that J K Rowling will do very nicely out of this game, the ugly activists who tried to shut her down because she believes female rights are human rights have failed miserably. Everyone who bought and played this game is supporting J K Rowling, and I for one couldn't be happier - 10 stars

    Modern masterpiece. Everything you could want in a game set in the Harry Potter world. There are a few nitpicky things that keep me from giving it a 10/10, but those are really just a me thing. Other than those things the game is excellent. Experienced very little to no bugs on the PS5 in Fidelity mode, which is rare for games now a days.

    If I could rate it 9.8 I would so I rounded it up. The game's art direction and world building are some of the best we have ever seen.

The game's art direction and world building are some of the best we have ever seen. Everything feels like it comes from a world of magic from architecture to enemies to the countryside. The game mechanics are very good as well, including the crafting systems, level designs, and most importantly, the combat, which manages to flow quite well despite being entirely range based. The diversity of spells that can combo off one another allow you to take a unique approach to fights, plus the combat potions can help change your strategy to a significant degree. Perhaps the thing the game does best is how it invites you to explore the world and castle. There are dozens of puzzles tucked away in Hogwarts, secret passages, statues with secret functions, treasures to be found, and moving paintings all over the place. The side quests around the castle aren't fetch quests by any means, they usually task you with searching for something and, well, fetching it, but the process of finding the object is almost always a pleasure because directions are vague. For example, you might be told to search in "high places". Hogwarts Legacy also has a really unique way of contrasting your time in the castle, which is fun, exciting and wondrous with the open world exploration which is more mature, harrowing, and dangerous. There are poachers and monsters all over, hamlet's are being broken apart by grief as the goblin rebellion hurts literally everyone, even goblins. I'm not done with the game yet, but the motivation for most goblins to join the rebellion seems to be that witches wizards aren't nice to them sometimes, which is a bit weak. It's not as if they are enslaved like house elves. Finally, the game at present has a few bugs that will pop up now and then, things like a prop floating in the air after you just blasted it away, or a character model stuttering as it tries to open a door. The worst bug I have encountered occured when I was swimming in a cave and tried to exit the water onto the land. My character decided it was still in the water and floated right on up to the ceiling and got stuck. I just had to fast travel away and reset, not a big deal. I'm conclusion, if you want a really unique gaming experience this is a terrific option, as there is literally nothing like this in terms of combat, world design and writing. Some of the story elements are a bit less well thought out than others and are a bit silly, and there are some small bugs but nothing game breaking. And if you are a Harry Potter fan, just a word of advice, choose Hufflepuff. Trust me, you won't regret it.… Expand

    Didn't hear about this game until about a month ago but I felt myself being drawn towards it and its creator, JK Rowling, for some reason. I pre-ordered the deluixe edition and eagerly jumped in when it became available with the 72 hours early access and I must say it is very much my kind of game. Exploration and collecting, interesting locations and characters, and a decent story to boot.Didn't hear about this game until about a month ago but I felt myself being drawn towards it and its creator, JK Rowling, for some reason.

JK Rowling, the series creator, has built a great world and I wish her all of the best for success in the future.

    This is one I will continue until to get the platinum trophy. That investment of time and effort only reaches that level of investment for truly great games.    … Expand

Everything about is simply amazing - the world, the atmosphere, the sounds, the soundtrack, the characters, the freedom man I could go on and on.

Only minor issues I have is that I would’ve loved to dive underwater and meet the Sirens and even though I don’t care much about Quidditch I think it’s a bummer you can’t even watch a game or even choose to participate if you want to. I know that this would’ve been a massive implementation and I’m ok with that they left it out to maybe get to work on it concentrated to release it with an Addon/DLC. Great great game and I‘m only completely done with the main story.… Expand

    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.
