    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 never would have even known this game existed if it wasn’t for a few loud mouthed fanatics online. It’s the first game I’ve ever pre ordered and only deluxe edition I’ve purchased.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    If you are a Harry Potter fan, this is a no brainer. Game looks great, at times it can look a little glitchy but a few patches should clean it up. A lot of attention to details. It’s not to be able to explore hogwarts. FINALLY!

    The combat is extremely satisfying as you can use your spells in-between normal attacks and interactions with the environment and then finish it off with a cool animation. Everything about it just feels seamless.

    You can explore so many things and can barely keep to your quest as there is just so much to discover and so many smaller things to do.

    The game mechanics are engaging and intuitive, with a range of spells, potions, and magical creatures to discover and master. The character customization options are extensive, allowing players to create a unique avatar that represents their own personal connection to the Wizarding World.

    The storyline is well-written, with plenty of twists and turns to keep players engaged. The voice acting is top-notch, bringing the characters to life and making the player feel fully immersed in the game world.

    Overall, I highly recommend Hogwarts Legacy to fans of the Harry Potter series and to anyone looking for an enjoyable and captivating gaming experience. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or a newcomer to the genre, you won't be disappointed by this magical adventure.

    Uma obra de arte, trazendo a essência de Harry Potter e realizando o sonho de várias pessoas de se tornar um bruxo(a) nesse mundo mágico. A qualidade técnica é um sonho, e o controle do PS5 deixa a experiência ainda melhor.

    Phenomenal, it is both new and old at the same time. For example, there is a moment where you get a sense of a possible connection to the Department of Mysteries while searching the forbidden section of the library with Sebastian Sallow and being separated from him. Dueling is awesome and the land is plentiful with plenty of monsters and creatures as well as hidden gems. Every detail wasPhenomenal, it is both new and old at the same time.

Dueling is awesome and the land is plentiful with plenty of monsters and creatures as well as hidden gems. Every detail was taken into account for and the castle is truly special. Potions class with Professor Sharp is my favorite thus far and I can not wait to do more, herbology is really neat as well. There is so much to do and the land is fully exploitable. The story, plot, and characters feel special and alive. I could not be happier and I bought a PS5 in preparation for this exquisite time at Hogwarts. “Wit beyond measure, is man’s greatest treasure”.

    The game nears perfection. There are minor issues here and there such as light or phasing glitches that I’m sure will be tended to in the next patches. Otherwise I must say, this game is a Harry Potter fan wet dream. It was clearly created by people who understand and love the wizarding lore.

    I lost interest in games to the point that I didn't play almost anything for quite a while now. But this game managed to spark my interest.

    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.
