    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.

    The definitive Hogwarts experience for fans and non-fans alike. Just wandering the expansive halls, rooms and secret areas of the castle alone will keep you hooked for hours. It looks amazing, runs great on PS5, and really transports you to the greatest wizarding world ever.

    Iam only 5 hours in, ive not even got my broom yet-which i cannot wait for!!

    Its been a slow start, the game doesnt rush you through to get you to the good stuff.
    It takes its time, it unravels like a tightly wound spool of thread.
    Iam playing on ps5 in performance mode and it looks really good!
    Iam not a graphics wh*re, i prefer a silky smooth experience!
    Sound wise it excels!
    A gorgeous meandering sound track of background music, weaving its way around your ears, as you explore.
    Authentic spell sounds, spark, flare and flash as you cast your wand.
    Like i said its not a Harry Potter game, but its definitely an authentic Hogwarts game!
    Spells are easy to use so far, quite straightforward to do combos as well.
    Again iam only 5 hours in, but i can tell its gonna be a really good experience!
    Its a very deep game, full of lore. The castle is lovingly created, a maze of rooms and corridors. But u wont get lost, theres a magical path guide you can follow, or use floo chutes to get around instantly!
    Hogsmead is also created with passion, all the shops, the pubs, it feels like a living breathing town!
    Ive not had any bugs as of yet, its been pretty flawless!
    Its a game that takes its time though and cannot be rushed.
    Theres plenty of action though.
    I can highly recommend to all ages and all sexes.
    Character creation is fairly expansive as well.
    There are plenty of clothing items to pick up, wand parts as well.
    Theres a transmog system, so u can have the benefits of an item of clothing, but can make it look more appealing, by making it invisible, or make it look like another item of clothing!
    If your a Harry Potter fan, this games for you.
    If your not a Harry Potter fan, this game is still for you!
    For me so far its 10/10.
    No need to say anything else!

    I bought the deluxe edition and thought i will refund as with the last 70$ games i bought and turned out to be garbage. Thats actually the first game where i feel like the 70$ were actually more than worth it.

My only real issues are the story and the glitches, the glitches are to be expected from any large open world game but can still become a bit aggravating and the story is weak overall but I put most of that on the need to set the game in Hogwarts. You have to be a fifth year and not a first year because otherwise the game would just be a school years simulator and very similar to the main story from the books but this causes a lot of issues in the story overall.TLDR a very good game with some issues but massively impressive for a tie in game and for a developer without a particularly great reputation.… Expand

    While the character developments are great, they lack a interesting conclusion. The same happened with ghost of tsunima. I believe the team focused too much on content that the player would problaby never interact with. Too many locations. The storyline can get diluted by too much unnecessary content. Next game should focus more on less unnecessary content and more character developments and even a more deep storyline overall. 8 out of 10, but not a 10 lol.    … Expand

    Cons: The main story is pretty generic and devoid of any surprise. The game itself is incredibly easy, even for a casual gamer. Doesn't have to be Dead Souls level of difficulty, but come on, give us a bit of a challenge at least. Character development is awful, the devs were so bent on completing the diversity bingo card that they forgot to give us any reason to care about the characters. Missions are generic and get boring after the initial 10-15 hours of play, you just go through motions, fighting the same enemies over and over. Upgrade and progression model is laughable in 2023, removes any incentive to explore the vast world they created. There is no morality to the game, your choices don't affect anything and the game goes on in a single predetermined direction. I used unforgivable curses in front of professors and they didn't so much as bat an eyelid despite the severity of this actually being discussed in the game.

    Overall, it's a fun game for fans of the lore, but you'll find yourself wondering why you're still playing it after the initial shine wears off. Plenty of other open world games that can grip and hold your interest for way longer.    … Expand

    This game is definitely way better than Forspoken. In fact I find this game to be a masterpiece. But it has its fair share of small issues, no game's perfect.

    It’s the Harry Potter game I’ve been waiting for since I saw the first movie and played the first game! As a 30 year old man, it makes me feel like I’m 10 again! So much magic and so many places to explore you’ll never get bored. 80 hours could easily be dropped on just exploring the surrounding valley Hogwarts is in. A rare 10/10 for me.

    Seriously magical game with an eye for detail. It's a game to be played slowly and absorbed with a herculean scale.

    One issue on console is FOV but you get over it quite quickly once you've been around Hogwarts a few times.

    Ruddy solid game.

    I'm glad all the SJWs brought this game to my attention. I didn't even know it was going to exist. Easily one of the best games I have played in the last 5 years. Combat is extremely smooth. There is ton to do. Immersive and faithful. It's not another game that's just waxing names for what they're worth.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vraiment déçu, le potentiel de ce jeux est pourtant incroyable ! Étant un fan de l'univers d'Harry Potter j'ai trouvé Poudlard incroyable ! Visiter le chateau, se promener dans ses couloirs et découvrir ses mystères est tout simplement dingue, l'ambiance est folle et c'est un pur bonheur.

    Cependant j'ai beaucoup de mal à trouver d'autres points positifs au jeu, techniquement en retard pour un jeu qui sort en 2023. La navigation dans les menus est une purge, tellement lente avec un curseur libre à déplacer au joystick et des temps de chargement vraiment pénibles.

    La conduite au balais nécessitant 2 joystick n'est absolument pas instinctive à mon sens et empêche de fait l'utilisation du joystick de droite pour profiter librement de la caméra, et il est impossible de le modifier pour une utilisation classique (joystick de gauche pour se diriger et celui de droite pour la caméra). Cette configuration n'a pour moi aucun sens et me frustre beaucoup.

    En parlant de frustration le système de potion avec son cooldown digne d'un jeu de smartphone m'a également saoulé, ainsi que les missions principales et quêtes annexes que j'ai trouvé pour la pluspart sympathiques... mais sans plus.

    Il y aurait eu moyen de faire tellement mieux, mais au lieu de ca on est tenu par la main du début à la fin du jeu, allant de missions tuto en missions tuto.
    Seule l'exploration de ce monde et la découverte et résolution de ses énigmes a été pour moi source de plaisirs.    … Expand

    From the start of the game that just instantly pulls you into the universe and takes you on a journey where you are the main characters. To the halls of the castle that just comes alive.

    One more dull but beautiful open world game. A world filled with copy paste fetch side quests with super boring and anticlimax rewards, might as well be one more ubisoft game.
    Fun combat! Lovely detailed assets and textures. But, why so flat and basic? Why always so flat and basic when it comes to all these open world games. Missing all soul and love.

    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.
