    What I didn't like were the woke elements, which they clearly only added because of certain obnoxious people and which simply don't fit into the setting. I also missed simple things like a sitting and lying animation for the player character. But otherwise, it's a really good game.    … 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.

    Absolutely great game really catches the magical atmosphere and world of Harry Potter, combat was surprisingly a lot better then I thought, minor nitpicks that I have but overall a great game to get lost in the world of wizards and witches!

    The intro is a bit long. The castle is where its at. The unforgivable curses are where its at. Story is tolerable. The beasty stuff is where its at. Collectibles outside of the castle and hogsmeade are very repetitive. The flying is probly the best part of the game. I wish there was more options for the character creator, more like the elden ring one. And more options for the bloody voice.The intro is a bit long. The castle is where its at.

    Dziedzictwo Hogwartu będzie dla wielu graczy spełnieniem wielkich marzeń. To bardzo mądrze poskładana gra, wykonana z ogromnym sercem, która wielokrotnie sprawi, że nie tylko najwięksi fani serii Harry Potter będą z łzami w oczach poznawać kolejne wątki i czerpać garściami z tego świata.

    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.

    Super jeu actuellement à 20h de jeu scénario principal quasiment terminé.
    l'Open World est magnifique très vivant et plein de secrets caché à découvrir seuls quelques problèmes de textures qui apparaissent parfois rien de méchant et qui sera sûrement corrigé d'ici peu par les premières mise à jour.
    Grand hommage à Harry Potter univers très fidèle... Un classique.

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

    I'm glad that this game came out in spite of, and even the agenda makes the game unique in its own way, uniqueness such that it is against those whom the game holds with two hands, nice. The plot is super, the graphics are super, the atmosphere is super a hundred times, take it, and don't think.

    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!

    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.
