    I’ve never enjoyed a game this much since elden ring. My childhood fantasy coming to life and it’s more than I could ever dream of. I’ve always wanted to explore the magical castle, I often find myself wandering around and getting lost. The whole experience is just absolutely magical.

    Pros
    - fun combat
    - fun exploration (the combo of convenient fast travel and broom travel feels fantastic)
    - great spell selection with interesting combos to pull off
    - the attention to detail when it comes to the world and the lore

    Cons
    - main story is often less engaging than the side stories with Sebastian, Natty and Poppy
    - the leveling and gearing system makes no sense and feels bad to engage with

    To start things off, this game does not break the open world monotony of past years. Don't get me wrong, the world is fun to explore with a ton of things to do, but it does not break off of the Ubisoft open world genre with tons of markers on the map with copy and paste content. If you hate this aspect of modern gaming, this game will do nothing for you.

    What it however feels like is a start to a fun new franchise that refreshes the formula. Meaning this game is to old Harry Potter games what God of War 2018 is to the old God of War games. A new take on the franchise that sets up its sequel for greatness with mechanics that should be polished in the future.

    One of the mechanics that certainly needs such polishing for the sequel is the gearing and leveling system. The gear you can loot is tied to your level. Level 4 characters have the possibility to loot level 5 gear which is often worse than the level 2 piece you got two hours ago. If you want to loot the max level gear, level 40, you should be at least level 39.

    The issue is that this game has a weirdly finite and limited experience meaning that I got level 40 only after finishing all challenges, all side quests and was left with only two main missions after the climax of the game. Neither of these missions features any combat.

    So what is the max level gear for? I don't know, to have it, I guess. It's the issue of wanting the gear to do the content, but needing to do the content to get xp to loot the best gear. It is a system that cannibalizes itself.

    On top of that, gear levels make little to no difference. The only thing you should care for is wearing the legendary (orange) pieces since they are the only ones that can slot the level three attributes. Attributes are randomly looted from collection chests and they are what the end game is all about.

    Between the three levels they have, you can go from doing 900 damage with a Glacius/Diffindo combo to 16k with the level three attributes slotted into your gear. It is these attributes that completely destroy the importance of gear levels. You are much better off wearing a level 30 Legendary gear piece, than level 40 Rare gear piece since the legendary one allows you to slot the max level attributes.

    I know this might sound like I hate the game since I spent the past five paragraphs ripping into one of its systems. But it is the opposite for me. It is because of the fact that I like this game so much that it allows me to go into detail on one of its aspects. Being harsh on things I like is proof to me that I spent a lot of time thinking about them. And Hogwarts legacy is a great game to be thinking about and wanting for its sequel to do better. What a fantastic game.

    It gives you an authentic "Your Hogwarts Journey" feel. Even fetch quests are fun because of the seamless integration into the Harry Potter Universe. There will never be a game that comes closer to capturing this kind of experience again! Buy it now; you won't regret it!

    If you're not a Harry Potter fan the game isn't all that great. Low enemy variety, boring side-quests, 95% of which are just fetch quests, no random encounters that make the world feel lived in, way too many collectables, uninspiring puzzles (Merlin trial's are a pitiful excuse for puzzles).

Main story is very contrived, you're supposed to care for a wizarding world your character supposedly just entered because old people in paintings told you so? No meaningful choices to be made within the story besides what house you enter, which dictates only 1 quest being different. No meaningful choice to be made as to whether you want to be good or bad, you're always going to be a mass murderer but hailed as a savior, classic ludonarrative dissonance. But I do admit running around in the world you saw in the movies all those years ago has something magical about it. But the game itself is a poor excuse for an RPG when compared to games with compelling stories like witcher 3, New Vegas etc.

    There is no way this game deserves a score even close to games like witcher 3, RDR2, New vegas etc.

    The only thing holding this back from being a 10 for me was the lack of enemy variety as well as feeling almost too powerful even after bumping the difficulty up to hard.

    Oh my magical goodness, Harry Potter: Legacy Hogwarts is simply enchanting! As a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter series, I was beyond thrilled to dive into this game, and it did not disappoint in the slightest.

    From the moment I booted up the game, I was absolutely floored by the attention to detail that had been put into creating the magical world of Hogwarts. Every nook and cranny of the castle had been lovingly crafted with such care that I felt like I was really there, living and breathing in the world of Harry Potter.

    But it's not just the visuals that are so impressive - the gameplay itself is absolutely top-notch. I was completely engrossed in the storyline, which takes place after the events of the original series, and follows the adventures of a new generation of Hogwarts students.

    The characters are all so well-written and engaging, and I found myself truly invested in their lives and relationships. The magic system is intuitive and easy to use, and I loved discovering new spells and potions as I progressed through the game.

    But what really sets Harry Potter: Legacy Hogwarts apart is the sheer amount of love that has clearly been poured into every aspect of it. From the stunning graphics to the captivating storylines to the little details that make the world feel truly alive, this game is a testament to the passion and dedication of its creators.

    Overall, I cannot recommend Harry Potter: Legacy Hogwarts enough. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the books and movies or simply a lover of magical worlds, this game is an absolute must-play. So grab your wand and get ready to be transported to a world of pure enchantment - you won't regret it! 10/10 recommended. GOTY for me.

    Pros: The art assets are done really well. If you're an HP fan this game is definitely a 9/10.

    Cons: Combat is actually so unbelievably soulless and it's like the devs designed the animations before realizing you need to design gameplay around it. I'm not joking. The combat HINGES on a literal quicktime event that pops up over your character's head. When you press the color coded button, the game will speed up and snap to your character being attacked and dodging/shielding it. The reason for this I can only assume is because single target lock-on as a game mechanic is incredibly broken and the devs needed a stopgap to solve for this. Imagine that the enemies attacked you with anywhere near the same responsiveness you can. Imagine it. The game would be unplayable. This is why enemies can only attack you one at a time and in dreadfully slow pacing.

    The story is mediocre as well. JK Rowling isn't writing for this game and so obviously they needed to set the setting back 100 years because they're not legally allowed to interfere with the lore and backstories of any established characters. Seriously--the game ends with a monologue about how they'll sweep the conflict under the rug until they can figure out a way to deal with it. There's no reconciling the species wide rights conflicts that are brought up. It just ends.

    lastly, the loot system is so godawful. I can't belive that wizards, even thematically, aren't allowed to larger inventories. It really is just serviceable checklists of RPG and Open world game design in that aspect.

    Gamebreaking performance issues exist. IF YOU DO PLAY THIS GAME, GET IT ON PLAYSTATION. Seriously, the game will actually delete your saves or otherwise crash if you fly your broom too high. It's incredible that someone can pay 70 dollars for early access and then be gimped into waiting a week longer just because the game is so poorly optimized.

And just started again, last time I was in Hufflepuff, this time I'm going for Ravenclaw. Oh also, definitely complete Sebastian Sallows quest line, (Avada Kedavra is awesome)! The world is massive and jam-packed with interesting side quests, the recreation of Hogsmeade is also stunning. This is my definitive Harry Potter game! The broom mechanics feel fluid and fun, so do the Hippogriffs, Thestrals, (if you bought the deluxe edition), and the Graphorn. Rankrok is intimidating, the story is not anything special but it holds up and is still quite decent. The room of requirement is awesome, and I love the fantastical beasts that you can groom and basically liberate after you "rescue" them. Hogwarts has so many secrets and recreated places too, at first it may seem overwhelming! But in a good way! The first secret place I found was the kitchens after you tickle the pear and that is when I told myself I loved this game! The field guide pages are not very annoying either, surprisingly neither are the Merlin trials! In total this game is fun, fluid, nostalgic, and quite graphically impressive. Great job Avalanche!

    Created an account just to say this: they named a CHRISTmas tree ''CHRISTmas tree''. Not Xmas tree, not ''non confessional glowing tree''.

    This game deserves 10/10. G.O.T.Y.

    I have to say that when this game was first announced; I was not really interested, even though I watched the movies growing up, but thankfully that changed pretty quickly when I saw some of the gameplay back in January, and thank God I did because I loved this game from start to finish. It has beautiful graphics, a good story, fun and engaging gameplay, and multiple side activities.

    This game was a big surprise for me. I've never been a big fan of Harry Potter but I saw how fast this was selling so I thought I would give it a shot and I have to say this game is so much fun. The combat is super satisfying and the story is epic in scale oooooh its so good BUY THIS GAME!!!

    The game is stunning visually but there was a few things that I can pick out that I didn't really like.

    Firstly, the visual bugs and crashing. There are many visual bugs, some quite funny and some not. Usually a pain regardless to deal with. The crashing for myself has been resolved since the update. Second, the combat. The system is entirely too basic. You can chain your spells in
    The game is stunning visually but there was a few things that I can pick out that I didn't really like.

    Firstly, the visual bugs and crashing. There are many visual bugs, some quite funny and some not. Usually a pain regardless to deal with. The crashing for myself has been resolved since the update.

    Second, the combat. The system is entirely too basic. You can chain your spells in interesting ways but that's the only redeeming quality of it. When on level ground, spells I am firing at the enemy should not be hitting the floor before making contact with the enemy but it does. Enemies frequently get caught in foilage, bushes, doors, anything they can to make things harder for me.. My summary of the combat is that even a casual gamer could No-Hit-Run this game if they focused. it is actually that easy. Spell, spell, spell, yellow warning, block, spell, spell, red warning, dodge. You see how simple that is? Only people who will struggle are those that can't stop themselves from mashing the attack button which will stop their block or dodge. Incredibly easy.

    Next we have the missions. I was quite happy with the amount of missions we received but I do wish that the Main story and the Side Quests involving Sebastian, Natty and others were longer. They were way to short for my liking. Even more so the main story. It was really barebones, really basic, could have done a lot better imo. Ominus definitely should have had an arc too.

    Lastly, this is for those that want to 100% Completion their game. I genuinely feel that around 70% of your time on this game is exploring and collecting crap. It's tiring but easy.

    All in all I see this game being praised and people wanting it to be GotY. I question those people. This was a fun game, but it's nothing to brag about. There's nothing ground breaking, challenging or anything. Just very powerful nostalgia and simple fun.

    Molto divertente giocarlo, il gameplay é ben fatto e non annoia mai. La storia forse è il punto debole, non essendoci scelte o bivi che la possano modificare in alcun modo. Sembrano quasi piú interessanti le trame secondarie che quella principale. Grafica ottima su play5. Un ottimo gioco che con qualche accortezza in più e una componente ruolistica e morale sarebbe stato ancora meglio.

    Very fun at first but after a short period it becomes very stale, The open world is covered up by scenery to distract you because there isn't much to do. A "group" of enemies is only 4-5 weak and very spaced out enemies making combat trivial at best. The puzzles were very clever and have a lot of potential but after a few hours I just noticed a lot of them are copy and paste.

The writting strays away from the Potters and focuses on the school and ancient magic that is such a bold move that it should be applauded for its successful risk!

    The first two hours of the game are about an 9/10 with the first boss fight Unfortunately, the next 28 hours there's basically no boss fights, no build up, just you doing random chores over and over to get spells.

    It feels like the devs made the first couple of hours amazing to draw you in, then the rest is just unfinished. You will go through caves with suspense building for a boss intro... then... nothing. why?

    The classes aren't so bad if they broke it up with some action, but this game has waaaay too much dialogue without action. I had to Google the last boss which looks good because I cannot continue to do the same task for so many more hours to get there.

    There's are so many opportunity to introduce interesting fights in the game but the devs just end it with no action. Horrible.

    Combat is decent but kinda slow, problem is you never get to use it. The open world has basically 2 enemies. Some dog thing that dies instantly from any spell and the soldier guys. I vendored all my gear that I found to try to get the spells because the game wants me to do annoying tasks to get the spells. You don't need the gear because you can kill the enemies 10 lvls above you.

    Mid game is VERY slow and actionless. Just dialogue, dialogue, dialogue... And from side characters.

    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.
