    I would give 10 if I am a Harry Potter fan. The game did a very good job to rebuild JK Rowling’s Magic world. There are so many details, full of contents and everything is so beautiful!

    We all have to put out there for this studio to know: This game is so **** good! The love and hard work that I am seeing is mindblowing! I literally lost myself exploring the castle, didn't know where I was, from where I came, but was a feeling of lost that I didn't experienced with a game for like 5 years.

    Avalanche, you deserve all the love from a gamer, you really beat the hype, the controversy, the experience to make a game of this magnitude. Congratulations and thank you for this game!    … Expand

    A extremely well designed game. Entertaining and lots to do. Really enjoying the exploration aspect of the game. I wouldn't say I'm a huge "HP fan." But I can see how a fan would be just giddy about this game, as it has so much lore in it. I've put in 14hrs and am only at 7%, so people who say the game is empty...are just plain lying.

    I have been getting massive Fable vibes form playing this game which is a gigantic W in my opinion.

    Looking forward to complete the main story line but I still have some exploring to do as the map is very large and full of content!    … Expand

    I wanted to like this game. I enjoyed the Harry Potter movies and love open world games. The graphics is also amazing in his game, love the Ray tracing mode. So, why the low score? Not sure I can put my finger on any specific thing, generally I was bored.

    Some factors are the never ending tutorials and hand holding. Way too many dialogues. Even though it's and open world game, each task is very linear. Too many puzzles. The story is a big yawn, childish and unmemorable. I feel the game is aimed at children, the movies were darker and had more depth to them, reaching kids and adults alike. The battles were also very monotone. Same thing over and over. And beating the enemies has about the same depth as popping a balloon. They have no character, and I did not like the attack pattern involving teleporting in right next to you all the time. A safe gift for your child I guess...    … Expand

    Atrocious game, barely runs, full of plot holes and the story makes no sense, glitches everywhere, combat is terrible and there's only like 5 different enemy types, empty world with nothing to do, load screens everywhere, performance issues galore and looks terrible on Xbox series X

    I wasn't expecting much from this game to be honest, but although I was excited I was still cautious. However, immediately after getting started I was fully immersed into this world of magic.

The music in each area changes, and the mood of the area changes with it. It's truly incredible. It can get a little bit laggy inside Hogwarts, but it goes away after a few seconds. The map looks quite big but you can only explore about half of it, however the explorable area is still very large. There are puzzles and things to interact with all over the map, inside and outside of Hogwarts. If you've ever dreamt of going to Hogwarts or being a witch or wizard in this world, then this is the closest you'll get! It's absolutely amazing.… Expand

    Incredible. From the visuals, the voices, the combat to the story, the lore and the level of immersion, this game delievers. Still some small graphical bugs to be found here and there, but nothing dramatic. This game is a must for every fan of the Harry Potter franchise. 10/10

    Amazing game. The combat, the visuals and the world are beautiful. The story, although not the most unique, gives exactly what the game promised to give: the experience of being a wizarding student at hogwarts, discovering its castle and surrounding lands and learning to become a master at using magic, all the while learning new lore about the world. 10/10

    Amazing game. Combat is 10/10. Graphics are beautiful. Game runs smoothly. Story is interesting. The World and Hogwarts really makes you want to explore and discover new things. All in all, you really feel like you are a part of the wizarding world. Here and there are still some minor bugs, but they are easily overlooked and ignored.

    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.
