    Amazing game. The bullies trying to cancel it are showing their true colors. No negative reviews are legitimate.

    Game has become my favorite ever already. The time I'm gonna pour into customizing the personal rooms alone is gonna be tremendous. I don't know how they put so much great stuff into this game, but im blown away. It's unbelievable how much/how many layers this beautifully crafted game has. In awe.

    This is the ultimate wizarding world game. I can't describe how awesome it is to walk through Hogwarts hallways, cast a lot of spells we used to see in the movies and books, and live a story that has never been told before.

As I write this review, I got almost 15 hours of gameplay and its been a while since I was hyped that much for a game that really met my expectations. Hogwarts Legacy IS the ultimate wizarding world game, IS the best Harry Potter game ever made and I really hope it gets a lot of awards for the INCREDIBLE job Avalanche Software did. From the story, to the gameplay. From the graphics, to the sound. From fans, to fans !… Expand

    As a Harry Potter fan, it's everything I could have asked for and more (except Quidditch. DLC?) Graphics are great, runs at 60 FPS, no glitches that I have run into. Combat is fun and engaging, and far more difficult that I thought it would be originally in a good way! I just find myself gaining levels by exploring the massive Hogwarts Castle.

    Mejor juego del mundo de Harry Potter hasta la fecha , y si no te gusta Harry Potter también, combina todo lo bueno de los juegos RPG y lo mezcla en este mundo de magia y hechicería, super recomendable 100% sin duda.

    The game J.K. Rowling deserves.

    What a masterpiece by Portkey Games. To say they have never made a game like this, they did the wizarding world of Hogwarts justice. Looks incredible, plays incredible, sounds incredible (Both PC & PS5, though console is way more optimized as it stands - likely an official launch day patch/drivers for PC.)

    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.

    Mark my words, Hogwarts Legacy is a Game of the Year Candidate! Where do I begin? Well let us start off with the visuals, and wow, the visuals and graphical fidelity of the game are stupendous.

This is exactly how a Harry Potter based game should feel like playing. The story so far is great, and the wizarding world of Hogwarts is really brought to life in the environment, you can tell that the developers really put though into the creation of the world of this game. 10/10 would recommend, this is a must have game!… Expand

    Great game. Has fun secrets when exploring the map and memorable NPCs. The story is good and doesn't rely on callbacks or references to other hp properties. Voice acting is well done, especially for the main villain
    It really does make you feel like your a student at Hogwarts

    This is what I wanted and so much more from a HP world game. The visuals are quite good, the game runs quite well (considering I am playing the deluxe edition 3 days before the official release - its amazing there are very few bugs overall). The world is so immersive and there is always much to do. I am 15hrs in and looking forward for more

    I'm not a huge HP fan but have genuinely enjoyed it so far. If you're like me, and not a huge fan I think its definitely worth the money. Great game!

    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.

    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.

    Exploring Hogwarts is an absolute joy. You can play for hours on end without even leaving the castle. But once you do the world opens up to even more adventures. A true must play for any wizarding world fan!

    Hogwarts Legacy has a great character design and could have had a great story too but the story is not so strong. the gameplay feels great and exploration is so entertaining. visually its great and Hogwarts castle is so detailed.

    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.
