    Attacks are monotonous and unexhilarating.
    The map is large and the broomstick is not fast enough.
    The characters are not attractive.

    Gra jest świetna.
    Bawię się naprawdę dobrze. Historia ciekawi, wciąga. Chce się zostać jeszcze chwilę żeby dowiedzieć się co się wydarzy dalej. I tu pojawia się inny problem: mnogość możliwości eksploracji świata. Tu widzisz jakiś tajemniczy znacznik na mapie, zaraz widzisz następny i zanim się obejrzysz jesteś 3x dalej od celu misji

    I'm not a particular fan of Harry Potter... Still, the game is so captivating and immersive. A fantastic journey. Neat job avalanche..

    Awesome graphics, story draws you in from the first five minutes. Felt like Harry Potter met Indiana Jones and then drops you right into the heart of the game, Hogwarts itself. Still only scratching the surface, but I'm enjoying the adventure.

    I support EVERYTHING about JK Rowling, and purchased 3 copies for myself and friends. We're loving the game! Everything i wanted from her world is here.

Me hubiera gustado mas profundidad en ese sentido. Pero no quita que el juego esta siendo el Goty para mi a día de hoy. por cierto la banda sonora buenísima.

    The game does so well to cater to all sorts of gamers as old and new alike will come together to play Hogwarts just to the IP.

    The hand holding at the start to slowly break you into the games core mechanics was perfect and not mundane even for a gaming veteran.

    There is SO much todo in this game and the world is so beautiful and magical and you will get lost on all the small tiny details.

    Another thing which I believe is not touched on enough in this game is your “field guide” challenge tracker basically and heart of your menus. It’s actually amazing and works perfect with all details being considered and is 1000% the best challenge tracker/field guide in any game ever.

    Every single challenge or quest rewards with something unique. 10/10 Absolute MUST play if you love potter or not    … Expand

    Absolutely Amazing Game! Thank You to EVERYONE that had a hand in making it!

    The Detail is Perfect, The Story is Amazing! Gameplay could have a small adjustment here and there in terms of mechanics (flying) , but still incredible to the point of barely noticing. The animals/magical beast are on point! Beautiful and extremely well designed. The sound effects and voice acting is    Absolutely Amazing Game! Thank You to EVERYONE that had a hand in making it!

    Gameplay could have a small adjustment here and there in terms of mechanics (flying) , but still incredible to the point of barely noticing.

    The animals/magical beast are on point! Beautiful and extremely well designed.

    The sound effects and voice acting is incredible and immersive to the point it feels like I'm truly there in game.

    Hogwarts Castle is so well done it feels like it was pulled from my imagination.

    The Forbidden forest is so incredible and alluring that it actually provides an ominous feeling.

    The map is so ALIVE and vibrant, it's just stunning.

    (Apparently there are people saying they have had performance/FPS issues?)

    I have had no issue(s) in that capacity game play wise or other etc, it has been a smooth and fun ride.

    The Game itself truly truly felt like coming home.

    VERY VERY VERY GOOD GAME!

    Fully and Completely Recommend playing it!    … Expand

    10 hours in and I still can't believe how much love and attention has been poured into this game. I don't think I've enjoyed being in a setting so detailed since The Witcher 3!

    Can’t put it down, you can tell the game was made with so much passion and love. Genuinely really fun to play! So much to unlock, find and explore and the combat is surprisingly really fun too!

    Play the game with graphics at Fidelity with Raytracing, that’s my advice. Because there are so many unique locations that just look amazing with Raytracing on.

    Great story, mechanics, and world. I hope those that seek to combat the toxic attitudes of JK Rowling consider joining trans rights orgs and donate to the Trevor project

    The game is great, it's a pity that the graphics are not very good if it was 4K 60fps + retracing it would be 10 points out of 10, it's a pity there are minor bugs and for this 8 points ladies

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hogwarts has nothing new to offer. The graphics and magic are the only regent point of this badly exploited work. Trivial dialogues, trivial missions, enemies all the same and never interesting to face. Each dungeon contains a massive chest that only holds a pair of glasses or a scarf, pretty ridiculous. In the dialogues they talk too much and unnecessarily, forcing you to follow a path of a good person, taking away the player's possibility of creating a bad character. The idea is excellent but as always it is developed to please as many fans as possible, leaving out a good script and good characters.… Expand

    Am absolutely loving the Wizarding World. Tons of stuff to do, combat is fun if not a bit challenging (which was a pleasant surprise.). The only down sides I see are a lack of mob variety and some repetitive game mechanics. Definitely a recommend.

    I'm surprised to say this was everything I wanted and more. I was tempering my expectations but from the moment I saw the first cut scene I was hooked. This is the Harry Potter experience I've always wanted.

    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.
