    Hogwarts Legacy is far from a bad game. It's a great gift to everyone who adores Harry Potter series, and can enjoy Ubisoft-style gameplay structure. But at the same time it is hard to call new Avalanche Software project as some kind of masterpiece, because it's quite clear that the game suffered from development hell and is a bit on the nose with its chase of modern AAA trends.

    Hogwarts Legacy is littered with small niggles which, when stacked together, make the game feel like it was released over a decade ago. While the castle is a large enough area to explore, the monotony of repeating quests and tasks makes the game feel last-generation and boring over time. Hogwarts Legacy could already use some DLC's in order to expand the size of the world, add more complex spells, and introduce a wider array of enemies. If you are a power-nerd looking for a new and complete RPG, you will have to wait for Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, coming in April 2023. While most critics agree that Hogwarts Legacy is near perfect, due to the incomplete feeling of the game and lack of a solid story arc, it feels more Muggle than magic.

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

    Long awaited by fans and probably muggles who know nothing about the world of magic, we were eager to get our hands on the title and discover the magical world of Hogwarts Legacy. What a wonder for the eyes and ears! We can applaud Avalanche Software for the rendition they have given us, it is just perfect. We could talk about it for hours because we were so enchanted by the game. Special mention for the numerous visual details, the story and the well-paced fights. In one word: Bravo!

    This is the game every single Harry Potter fan deserved, we can finally immerse ourselves in a game and re-live the world of magic like weThis is the game every single Harry Potter fan deserved, we can finally immerse ourselves in a game and re-live the world of magic like we have dreamed about for years.

    I also want to add that J. K. Rowling is a great person and her opinion is perfectly healthy and I totally support her.
