    Castle and map is great, I was imagining the combat was going to feel bad, but no, it feels amazing and easy to conquer. I've played about 60 hours, and the story was decent enough. You have to keep in mind that this game was developed by a developer who had only worked on double a titles for disney before this, and so you can't exactly base your opinion on the facial animations andCastle and map is great, I was imagining the combat was going to feel bad, but no, it feels amazing and easy to conquer. I've played about 60 hours, and the story was decent enough. You have to keep in mind that this game was developed by a developer who had only worked on double a titles for disney before this, and so you can't exactly base your opinion on the facial animations and cutscenes simply off of what they are, you have to take into account that this is an inexperienced developer, and you can't really expect all too much from a dev like them.they did a great job making the game feel, sound and look amazing. I don't care what the people who believe JK Rowling is a bad person say about this game, because she's already a zillionaire and so it makes no difference, and all of those people are just ridiculous enough to believe cancel culture and not actually do any research for themselves. I honestly think that the little visual glitches and stuff at launch are fine due to the fact that this, yet again, is Avalanche, so it's going to have some issues, and since there is a site dedicated to report bugs on the first page of the game's website, they should absolutely have all the bugs fixed within the first month with ease. I think that if the game gets a nice dlc to build playerbase, then it can keep that already massive playerbase for even longer than any other open world games. For a massive fan of the franchise (the books in particular) it is a dream come true and I recommend it to anyone who is, or ever has been a fan of the books/movies (but mainly the books since that's what they based the castle design off of).

    From The combat to location and story this game is amazing! It is quite literally everything you possibly could want (Short of Quidditch) in a Harry Potter based game. With plenty of references to the books and films, iconic locations, hidden encounters, and Spells of every Kind, Hogwarts has been my favorite game of 2023.

    This goes on to the must play list. It oozes quality at every turn. The stories (main and side) hook you and keep you coming back for more. The combat system is superb and there is "weight" to the destructive spells you cast while other, more passive, spells feel more delicate. As you can spend a lot of time with a "companion" my only regret is this game didn't offer co-op game-play.This goes on to the must play list. It oozes quality at every turn.

    Hogwarts Legacy is a beautiful game with great gameplay. As a Harry Potter fan it's fantastic to be able to explore the Harry Potter world and live out life as a student. The only issue plaguing the game is a lack of depth and meaningful decisions. I'd love to see DLC or a future sequel bring it to the next level.

The characters in this game are amazing each one feels like they have a role to play in the world with absolutely no wasted potential even if you have only seen them once. The combat is simple but very fun and makes you feel great juggling and destroying enemies with tons of cool combinations with spells. The story and side stories are great near the end it really felt like I was playing 4 different interesting stories even after the end of the main story. The crafting system is nice but could be improved. The game does a great job of giving the player choice from choosing their house to creating a room of requirement or how the place that they keep their beasts looks.
    There is a lack of enemy variety and that does get a little boring. Another thing is the Merlin trials feel a bit too numerous, as well as the treasure vaults which would have been better if they had been fewer in number and more complex with actual loot worth getting. The world is great when it loads, a large number of times it would take 5 minutes for stuff to load in which I've never had happen in any game I played. Overall, this game it great and nails the harry potter school student experience that I love in the movies but could be improved gameplay wise.    … Expand

Le pire étant le mode 4k dynamique et 40-50 fps pour ceux qui ont une tv 120htz qui est totalement loupé. Le mode Fidélité 4k natif 30fps est bien meilleur, c'est un comble.

    Je regrette aussi que l'open world soit aussi guidé, c'est le syndrôme "ubisoft like" comme on dit. Tout est fléché, archi facile à trouver et c'est dommage (je précise que j'ai fait le jeu à 100%).

    After 58.5 hours I have completed Hogwarts Legacy. With quests that feel engaging and a world that feels totally alive I had such a hard time wanting to finish, I just wanted to explore. So many spells and spell combination made it so fun to experiment. All in all 9/10 experience And most definitely would play again!

Cons: for some reason the voice acting dialogue sounded really weird the first week, but I think the patch may have fixed that. The Merlin trials and things of that nature get to be tiresome and repetitive. Flying feels like it wasn’t flushed out, but it’s playable. The map UI needs work. The majority of outfits look dumb as heck and I don’t really like the gear upgrade mechanic and the crazy amount of gear collection. Bought an extra copy to troll the hyper-leftists crying because we won’t accept their delusional world views, but keeping it sealed because this is a benchmark in the “Wizarding World” and is a good item to add to the collection.… Expand

The end game does leave more to be desired, but theirs a solid 50-70 hours of gameplay and if you want to 100% everything its more towards 70. My favorite part of the game, is how in depth and detailed the castle is.

    For a first outing, excellent. Theirs a few things that leave you feeling like they had to leave things on the cutting room floor, Maybe they were glitchy, unfinished etc. What i appreciate most is this is the first game I've preordered in years that at least feels complete as a Triple A title.

    Fun factor is a 10/10 for me.

    Suggestions: Make NPCs a bit more interactable, morality system, id love multiplayer but its not make or break. Make the housing choice more valuable for certain perks or trade offs. Also make the menu a bit smoother to transition. The movement feels sluggish in it.    … Expand

    Truly amazing game that really does immerse you in the wizarding world and that, surprisingly for a new game, has very little in the way of bugs from day one.

    Aside the odd stutter and rare loading delay when opening doors to other areas (usually when running quickly through areas) the game runs smoothly despite it being graphically impressive.

The visuals are sumptuous, audio and voice acting are great, and the open world is brimming with content.

    After all the hype surrounding Elden Ring (which I never bought or played because it just didn’t appeal to me as a world and visuals looked disappointing, and the gameplay far too hardcore), finally we have a game whose hype is actually justified.

    It reminds me of the first Fable game but is more free and open, richer and more rewarding. It’s like the Fable I’ve always wanted to play. I’m not really a massive Harry Potter fan, but you don’t need to be. Just play this to appreciate the artistry of the devs and their passion for the project. Definitely game of the year so far from me.    … Expand

    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

I played the game and judged it on that merit-being a game- well done to WB-avalanche and portray games;looking forward to the sequel-I'll definitely pre-order again

    Story was fine, but what got me were all the little detailed things put in, not necessarily any gameplay mechanism but rather small nods and fan-service.
    Well done.

    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 an extremely fun adventure, despite having some graphic and narrative difficulties. In the vast open world, which makes it possible to explore popular locations and live like a typical Hogwarts student, you will face interesting challenges in the path of unraveling the main mystery of the game. Even though it's an exciting adventure, even a muggle like me manages, at a certain point, to miss a greater magic to deliver everything that the fans expected.
