    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.    … Expand

    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

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.

    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.

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.

    Awesome game and has me hooked in one of those "just one more quest" kind of ways. The production values are there. Performance on PC can use a good patch or two to fix some of the framerate drops but it mostly runs smoothly. Don't beleive the controversy, the game is not transphobic or anti-semitic, anyone who tells you this is just pushing an agenda and clearly reaching.

    4.The cutscenes have sloppy transitions, Seemless Transitions would've been so great like in other games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, AC Valhalla, GoW Ragnarok etc.
    Other than these minor issues I really enjoyed this game as it represents the Harry Potter Universe so magnificently.
    The main story was absolutely amazing and the side quests were just as fun as the main quests. The open world was amazing as well there were countless times where I would just go explore.

But there has been a lot of problems with men and young boy identifying as a girl or woman. Who have attracted women in a venerable state in bathrooms alone. You can try and deny it but it is dangerous. On top of dealing with someone who's mental reality is destroyed, we have to just shut up, and expect it as far as the trans community is concerned. Simply JK doesn't agree with this. She thinks it's would be appropriate for them to have there own bathrooms. She still supports the trans community. Truthfully i don't or at least not anymore. Now that the LGBT community has decided well now your kids are mine to influence. I could care less what happens to any of them.

    Good game, fun to play, good graphics, everything I wanted it to be in a hogwarts game, motion capture is a little bad but that’s forgiven.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give it an 8/10 for 2 reasons:
    1. I haven't finished the game yet to give a full review.
    2. I witness small texture issues/bugs every now and then.

    Otherwise, this game has my full attention!

    As a casual enjoyer to the Harry Potter series, I appreciate the game is NOT set during Harry Potter's time. With the main character of the world not taking the spotlight, I feel like I can enjoy what the wizarding world has to offer to some not so familiar. The story immediately caught my attention and instigated my curiosity, the combat is fluid and is surprisingly complex, and the world is vast and I am eager to explore.

    Big appreciation for how WB handled the field guide. I don't feel weighed down by the number of collectables in-game and many of them I would say are actually really fun to engage with. Like using accio to collect flying books/pages or the moth painting puzzle(which is one of my favorites)

    The only thing I can say I'm missing is Quidditch, but I am grateful that the development team was upfront about it not appearing rather than lying to me. Maybe they will make my wish come true with Quidditch DLC! I do hope so.

    Now if you are hesitant about getting this game, whether it's because of doubts or the political situation this game is being dragged into, all I have to say is that you should give it a chance. The game has been a wonderful experience for me so far and i have found that this game feels comfortably inclusive, It doesn't feel forced or uncomfortable, and I hope that whoever plays it gets to enjoy it as much as I do.    … Expand

    The thing I'm happies about is the game is complete not even a day one patch to fix a bunch of broken issue. But it is missing some thing that would make it even better. The current flight controls are a little odd it should just be one stick to move, and one to look around. A favorite for the invantory system would also be nice as you have to keep changing it up.

    I am not an HP fan myself but I find this game to be more than that. From solving puzzles to battling orcs and dark wizards, or just completing the story and traversing the openworld aspect gives you a sense of accomplishment that is quite remarkable for a wizarding world game. Live your dream and be wizard! Sucks there's no quidditch but quid it!

    The animation for facial expressions and text are lacking, and spells feel devalued after unlocking them all, with a clunky system for swapping between spells. However, it's satisfying picking an enemies own weapon up and smacking them in the face.

However, it's satisfying picking an enemies own weapon up and smacking them in the face.

    The background music gives nostalgic feels for the earlier feels, I'd be walking around the common room and finding myself just aware enough of the score to be enchanted. The scope of Hogwarts itself is impressive, however exploring becomes repetitive early on.

    There was huge potential in the game for choices in spells and gear to have an impact on the look and aura of your character, but unfortunately there's no upside or downside to casually casting dark spells as much as you want.

    The game is enjoyable to play if you can get past those foibles. The enrolling process is quite fun and gives the game a bright start which you can keep rolling with for quite a long time before other things start to annoy you.

    All in all it feels like unfulfilled potential, but not terrible.    … Expand

    That’s a really good game about Garry Potter universe, interesting main history, some of side quests are boring but this fine, can be excused. I’v meet a couple bugs (not critical). Fight system it’s something amazing, i think too much, how developers make the fight system of this universe, i find this question so important and difficult.

    Childhood dreams come true. Exploring the castle on its own could be a whole game. The combat is addicting, exploration is rewarding. The story is engaging, the characters are interesting. The graphics are beautiful and the score is magical. It is truly everything I could’ve ever wanted in this game.

    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.
