    Excellent game! Anyone giving this game anything lower than an 8 has a some political angle and is not giving an honest review.

    This is a masterpiece and a labour of love by Avalanche. It’s quite possibly the best game I’ve ever played, and this is from someone who has been gaming for 45 years.

It’s quite possibly the best game I’ve ever played, and this is from someone who has been gaming for 45 years. It is perfect for casual play where a 20 minute session still keeps you engaged, even if it’s just exploring or completing a side mission. I have it installed on PC, Steam Deck and XBSX and it scales and plays great on all those platforms. 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.

    Super happy with how this game turned out. It looks gorgeous on my Series X and LGC2. Story is good, exploration is on another level of fun. Would recommend 100%. PS I bought 3 copies. Doing my part to make the boycotters salty. One for me, one for the kid and one for a friend I owed a favor to. :D

Очень надеюсь что разработчики поймут что надо угождать тем кто играет в их игры, а не какой то там непонятной общественности!
    А игра на редкость оказалась шикарна. Joanne Rowling создала потрясающую вселенную, ее книги я прочитал на одном дыхании, а теперь я могу погрузится в этот мир еще больше.

    What a great game. I've got just over 20 hours of play now and I'm nowhere near the end.

    What a great game. I've got just over 20 hours of play now and I'm nowhere near the end.

    Let's start with the story:

    We play a male/female character who first comes to Hogwarts in his 5th year. Here we quickly find out that we have access to "ancient magic" which lets us see things that others cannot. At the same time, an evil goblin named Ranrok is haunting the lands of Hogwarts. But I won't tell you more.

    Up to this point, the story is built on different strands, based on different characters. This means that only when we have made a certain progress with the main characters does the story progress.

    Now to the gameplay:

    Casting spells, flying, puzzling. And it's all damn good and coherent! Fluid combat system with many possible combinations and much more! Flying is also very fun. The puzzles are not very difficult, but can still be challenging.

    Graphics and map:

    Damn, this game looks fabulous! Beautifully animated and you can see how much love has gone into the details. The map is big, so you can be prepared for that. There is a lot to explore away from Hogwarts and Hogsmeade!

    About the soundtrack:

    Beautifully composed songs, which of course also include parts of the original Harry Potter music. A must for fans!

    Criticisms:

    1. Pre-set sentences repeat themselves very often. For example, our character says the same sentence over and over again when he enters Hogsmeade.

    2. The side missions are sometimes boring (very few). Find so and so many items. The typical open-world stuff that you can actually do without.

    But despite all that, that's not a point deduction for me. For me, it's a game that almost couldn't have been better.

I'm already waiting for a sequel to the game, which will definitely be made when you look at how much the game has already sold. I don't take a stand on what J.K. Rowling has said or on politics. The creators of the game are innocent of that and the creators of the game deserve all the thanks and praise for a very good game. Hogwarts Legacy is a very good candidate for Game Of The Year GOTY 2023. Expand

    Ce jeu est parfait en tout point. Même pour les personnes qui ne sont pas fans de la licence. Perso je n'aime pas les films HP mais le jeu est prenant et on ne veut jamais en partir où presser d'y retourner.

    Simply gorgeous. Breath taking atmosphere, really feels like being inside the movies. Smooth and stimulating gameplay, the combat system is majestic!! People who gave it zero because it's not working on their device are lying like the ones who gave it zero because of politics against JK Rowling, you are just pathetic and dishonest.

    I've been gaming for over 20 years and I've never had a "favorite game" until now. Hogwarts legacy has become my all time favorite game, a dream come true and a game that is going to stay with me for the rest of my life. Everything is next to perfect. From the music, graphics, exploration, gameplay mechanics, story, etc. What a great time to be alive!

    El mejor RPG que verás hasta la fecha, y si eres fan de Harry Potter, ya lo flipas en colores. Muy recomendable, tanto si eres o no fan de la saga. Esta versión en concreto va de lujo, gráficos de ensueño, da gusto ver el castillo con esos reflejos y brillos gracias al Ray tracing

    One of the best games I’ve played in years. Right up there with BOTW. The attention to detail is amazing and there’s room for DLC’s which I hope come in short order to keep the momentum going.

    BEAUTIFULLY MADE!
    If you're into wanting more HP content after watching movies, reading books, then step into Hogwarts Legacy.
    This game is what any RPG fan of magic crave!
    I will leave it simply here, try the game, love it, enjoy it, live it up.
    I want more, more, more in this series. DLC(s), sequel(s).
    Thank you for proving people wrong and re creating a magnificent world!

    Absolutely enjoyed it since picking up the controller! Nice graphics, lore, and customization of characters (not bad). The fact it is open world is a plus and the combat isn't bad. Whether you a Harry Potter fan or not, this game is worth grabbing and enjoying hours upon hours of fun! You can also pick the house you want to be in- Team Slitherin!

    It is an absolute joy to play. You are rewarded for every action playing this newly imagined exploratory game by WB Avalanche. There are good and bad people in power with opinions worse than the original author of this wizard world. Why not let the original author's opinion pass also. All people deserve a chance to experience this incredible adventure.

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

    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.
