    This is the most in-depth look into the wizarding world of Harry Potter we’ve ever seen and being able to explore with hours of content to discover, quest, and fight through. Hogwarts Legacy is worth the price point and is a well polished addition to the wizarding world.

    I’ve avoided as many spoilers as possible and barely scratched the surface of what’s in store for those willing to reward the hard-working developers of Hogwarts Legacy. The game-world is HUGE, and not nearly as checklisty as many other games of this nature. And certainly doesn’t suffer so-called bloat. Rather it’s rich and rewarding and inviting to a fault.

    Hogwarts Legacy is a wonderful game filled to the brim with adventures to be had, activities to engage in, and secrets to be found. The school and the surrounding areas have been recreated beautifully, and players will easily lose hours lost in the whimsical splendor of this wizarding world.

    Hogwarts Legacy is an absolutely magical video game, one that is packed with awe-inspiring moments full of mystery and wonderment. Come for Hogwarts itself, a magic school oozing with secrets to behold, and stay for the combat, the engaging story and the frankly astonishing Room of Requirement.

    While respectful to the source material and even showing us characters that have been referenced in the books such as Headmaster Black; Hogwarts Legacy uses its place in the past to great effect. Laying the groundwork for the Hogwarts that we know and love, it was great seeing the genesis of some of the more common things in the wizarding world. But the games presentation of its choices; in making them seem dire and dare I say ‘world shattering’ only to then have them add up to a big fat pile of nothing in the post-narrative game is just a cop out that sucks. But hopefully we can see this wrong righted as well as some Qudditch in a sequel, that is if JK Rowling can manage not to have the brand erased from existence.

    Hogwarts Legacy is a great adventure, but only for those Harry Potter fans who rarely play video games.

    For fans of the universe, the game is simply incomparable. The world is thought out literally to the smallest detail, it is pleasant to be in it, and it is interesting to explore it even without any activities, despite the fact that there are enough of them in the game.

    The story is very decent, although not memorable, the game has more emphasis on the interaction of the player with the world and how the world reacts to the player. The combat system is very dynamic, while it does not cause difficulties in mastering, a sufficiently large number of spells that can be combined with each other. For fans of "sandboxes" there is a corner where you can spend a long time creating your own world inside a common universe.

    Why is the rating not 10? There is no Quidditch or co-op in the game. Let's hope that they will appear in the DLC, which, although not announced, but which I personally hope for!    … Expand
