    The Wizarding World game everyone dreamed of is here. I’m about 20 hours in and I am completely enamored with the characters and story. The gameplay is smooth, the world is beautiful and the combat is flawless. I love coming to battle armed with any combination of 16 spells and a wheel of potions and vicious plants to use. The combinations are endless to keep the combat fresh.

    I really love the puzzling aspect which is par for the WW universe and keeps the wonder alive. For those who want to negative review bomb this and say how it spreads hate, please see the Three Broomsticks, which is run by a Trans Bartender. JK Rowling has no involvement in the game but the staff and devs that created this masterclass in open world rpg storytelling did a fantastic job. The game has a lot of depth, heartwarming moments, a lot of spiders and all the magic the WW universe fans deserved.

    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.

    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

    Es un juegazo impresionante, una pena que haya gente poco espabilada que le tiren mierda a este juego cuando es lo mejor que ha hecho harry Potter en toda su historia

Agora Ă© interromper a jornada atĂ© que a produtora corrija isso, sabe-se lĂ¡ quando. Exceptional dubbing. Open world is a phenomenon. The game is really bad on ps5. There are secondary missions and promarias that I can't do because the game doesn't allow for lack of interaction with the NPCs. Missions that don't have the necessary resources to execute. Everything was going fine until the first update or after I hit winter. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game but to no avail. Now it's time to stop the journey until the production company fixes it, who knows when. Expand

This is an amazing game and shame on trash groups like WIRED who just review the game based on their own personal agenda.

    I preordered this game and I’ve never even seen a Harry Potter movie. The game is phenomenal. You don’t have to be a fan to play this game because it is based 100 before Harry Potter. Plus I preordered it to help boost sales.

    Outstanding game so far, I am not a huge Harry Potter fan but have certainly seen the movies and this RPG definitely makes you feel like you are playing in the world represented there. Combat is fun, voice acting is good, experiences seem varied, and graphics are good. The overall package is excellent.

    Completely satisfied with the game! Great script, character selection, the atmosphere of Hogwarts and the magical community. I'm on my way to beating the game 100% and replaying different houses and conversation scenarios.

    I fully support JK Rowling and her created universe, she has made a huge contribution to many people. If your views do not coincide with the views of the author, you do not need to make him persona non grata. Maybe it's a problem in your head? The developers of the game tried to convey the whole atmosphere from books and films, the graphics are at an excellent level (PS5) and I enjoy exploring the world, flying without a broom and using spells against goblins and other enemies. I don't regret buying this game. I want to point out that there hasn't been anything so delightful in the Harry Potter universe for a long time. All these newfangled political views and the flow of feces due to other people's views can only harm the development of the world. Do not touch the beautiful Universe of magic and this game, leave it outside of your "new" and "correct" outlook on life..

    - control scheme in menus is dated
    - flight controls are difficult to use
    - side quests are short and contrived

    The game is fun, something rare in this medium where everything is full of political propaganda and progressive agendas, while the story progresses you are immersed more in that world and without a doubt I would dare to say that it is one of the best open world games

    The game is immensely entertaining, you don't even need to have been a Harry Potter fan initially it's still really fun. I haven't read the books or watched the movies and I have really enjoyed this 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.
