    If you grew up with the books or movies, then this is the game you’ve always dreamed of. I didn’t really, so I came in with a good bit of skepticism and thought it would be your run-of-the-mill open world game, but I was sorely mistaken.

    This game starts out on a THUNDEROUS note and completely immerses you in a magical world. The castle of Hogwarts is the most impressive interior space I’ve ever seen in a video game, both in size and level of detail. The combat seemed overly simple in footage online but once you get your hands on it it’s surprisingly challenging and fun. I can’t stop thinking about this game at work. I know lifelong fans of the series must be positively ecstatic about this game.    … Expand

    This is the game all of the fans of the wizarding world have been waiting for. The castle itself is a tiny open world in a fantastic open world. Its just addicting exploring the landscapes and little villages and learn the variety of spells.

I can say with confidence it is the best interior structure I have seen ever built in a video game. Every time you turn the corner, you will see another scene from the movies or books that you recognize! Truly a nostalgic experience from my childhood come to life! Thank you to all the devs that made this dream possible!… Expand

    Brilliant,such a joy to play, the atmosphere, story, open world and a huge rpg sandbox..36 hours in and nowhere near finished, 10/10 for me...Thank you to everyone at Avalanche for making a great game and experience, much love and support to all the developers who worked on the game..On a side-note, you do not have to be a Harry Potter fan to enjoy this game.

    This game has blown my mind. The castle is beautiful and full of magic, and the world is easy to want to explore. Expect this game to always have something to surprise you, even though expect to see things you may have already read/seen about.

    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.

    Eu que sou fã tanto do filme quanto do livro, ja joguei os jogos do harry que teve do ps1, falo que esse hogwarts legacy me surpreendeu muito. Foi Jogar de verdade um jogo praticamente do jeito que imaginava quando lia os livros. Gostei do jogo e estou curtindo muito ele ate agora. a cinematografica fico explendida e tem muito mais muita coisa para se explorar

    I’m blown away by the graphics, it’s God of War like. Also the combat is quite good, a lot better than I thought it would be.

    Well worth a 10 rating and hope they add expansions.

    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!

    Both my wife and I(35 years old) were looking forward to this after growing up with the books and movies. Spoiler Alert... this is game is crack for fans from all walks of life. Get ready to embark on a journey of bad@$$ wizarding and world-building. You won't regret the purchase. Ignore the online hate!

    If you're a Harry Potter fan:
    This game is a dream come true. Not only is Hogwarts fully realised by a group of passionate devs that clearly love the source material, but there's so much to do. You can take potions classes, learn spells, collect fantastic beasts, ride broomsticks. It's literally everything you could want in a Harry Potter game.

    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.
