    Guys, I am 48 years old and I have never been a fan of Rowling's work (but I began to respect her just for one of her famous phrases!), I have not read a single Harry Potter book, I have not watched a single Harry Potter movie.

For the first time in many years - I understand that not only will I go through the game from start to finish, but I will also play more and more. Everything is great here! World, characters, atmosphere, graphics. Only one strange bug - the woman owner of the "Three Broomsticks" pub for some reason speaks in a male voice - the children and I laughed for a long time - it looks both funny and terribly ugly. Everything else is just great! It's not just a big game - it's huge. This is such work! I admire! My respect to the creators! And I just want to ask them - more! Give us more Hogwarts and this universe!… Expand

    Love the game, can't wait for DLC but have to take points off for annoying hand holding + combat doesn't scale with skill - difficulty doesn't increase with your ability, especially when you get all the unforgivables. Overall, best WW experience since the original films!

    Hogwarts Legacy is an amazing game. Graphics, gameplay, and the story are all solid. Regardless if you’re a Harry Potter fan or not this game should scratch the itch of an open world adventure by most who play it. My girlfriend and I have already put more hours into this game than I’d like to admit. Do yourself a favor and play it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hogwarts Legacy was an absolute delight. The game transported me to a beautifully rendered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, complete with all the iconic locations from the books and movies.

    The graphics are stunning, with detailed textures and vibrant colors that bring the magic of the world to life. The attention to detail is impressive, from the intricate designs of the Hogwarts uniforms to the various magical creatures that roam the grounds.

    The gameplay is equally impressive, offering a vast open world full of quests and activities to explore. Players can customize their character, learn spells, and even tame magical creatures to help them on their adventures. The combat is intuitive and engaging, with a variety of spells and abilities that can be used to take down enemies.

    One of the standout features of Hogwarts Legacy is the story. Set in the 1800s, players take on the role of a student at Hogwarts during a time of great turmoil. As they progress through the game, they will uncover secrets and make choices that will shape the fate of the Wizarding World.

    Overall, Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 is a must-play for any Harry Potter fan. It offers a fully realized world that captures the magic and wonder of the books and movies, while also introducing new characters and stories that feel just as authentic. It's a game that will keep players engaged for hours on end, and one that they'll want to revisit again and again.    … Expand

    An extremely repetitive game in all senses. Side quests seem irrelevant to the story, combat is boring and the tutorial portion of the game takes way too long before you can actually start exploring open world. It’s too bad because you can tell a lot of money and time was spent on making it - but the finished product just feels sloppy. Like a worse cyberpunk

    Main story a bit generic but good foundation for future editions.
    The side quests are done great and are encouraging and interesting.
    The open world is beautiful but simple world design.
    Combat is nice and overall the game is great for the average gamer and excellent for Harry Potter fans.

    Oh my magical goodness, Harry Potter: Legacy Hogwarts is simply enchanting! As a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter series, I was beyond thrilled to dive into this game, and it did not disappoint in the slightest.

Every nook and cranny of    Oh my magical goodness, Harry Potter: Legacy Hogwarts is simply enchanting! As a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter series, I was beyond thrilled to dive into this game, and it did not disappoint in the slightest.

    From the moment I booted up the game, I was absolutely floored by the attention to detail that had been put into creating the magical world of Hogwarts. Every nook and cranny of the castle had been lovingly crafted with such care that I felt like I was really there, living and breathing in the world of Harry Potter.

    But it's not just the visuals that are so impressive - the gameplay itself is absolutely top-notch. I was completely engrossed in the storyline, which takes place after the events of the original series, and follows the adventures of a new generation of Hogwarts students.

    The characters are all so well-written and engaging, and I found myself truly invested in their lives and relationships. The magic system is intuitive and easy to use, and I loved discovering new spells and potions as I progressed through the game.

    But what really sets Harry Potter: Legacy Hogwarts apart is the sheer amount of love that has clearly been poured into every aspect of it. From the stunning graphics to the captivating storylines to the little details that make the world feel truly alive, this game is a testament to the passion and dedication of its creators.

    Overall, I cannot recommend Harry Potter: Legacy Hogwarts enough. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the books and movies or simply a lover of magical worlds, this game is an absolute must-play. So grab your wand and get ready to be transported to a world of pure enchantment - you won't regret it! 10/10 recommended. GOTY for me.    … Expand

    Hogwarts Legacy starts and finishes strong, with its middling middle part carried by truly tremendous aesthetics and inspired music. It's the love letter to fans of the franchise and a world that's a joy to explore.

Do much more than that, however, and you're in for a repetitive and bland slog through identical dungeons and fetch quests. Clever puzzles do go a way to breaking that up and satisfying combat benefits from a varied but tame collection of spells, but with bugs and glitches preventing some areas of progress, Hogwarts Legacy brought the timeless atmosphere of the Wizarding World to life at the expense of its own identity.

    Это не плохая игра, в ней действительно есть много интересного, например эксплоринг локаций или боевка, но игре чего то не хватает, она как будто очень сырая версия самой себя. Такое ощущение что только в более совершенном сиквеле можно будет увидеть именно ту игру которая была задумана. Пока в игре куча скучных квестов, персонажи никакие, все очень добренькие, никакой особой харизмы. Графика технически не так далеко ушла от 2016 но сами масштабы Хогвартса поражают.    … Expand

I really enjoy the gameplay, world has alot of attention to detail, I enjoy some of the side characters alot, I like the transmog system, and it's a very enjoyable experience for anyone who likes WW. Also I like that it isn't a 60 hour bloat fest to complete the main story, solid 20-30 to beat the main story while experiencing alot of what the game has to offer, but it also offers content to play and get in plenty of playtime if you want.
    Its downsides for me are the story in terms of the layers and RPG aspects, it really lacks in those areas, its held up by strong characters and a very captivating world but a really barebones story. I also think it could've had a much better end game villain or one that was more fleshed out because they kinda dropped the ball there.    … Expand

    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.
