    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never played a Harry Potter(like) game and watched 4 HP movies (max). I pre-orderd this game in Sep 2022. Feb 7th it was finally time, what a game thats what I can say. It started already by character customization, no it's not a character creation like Elden Ring but it's good well rounded not to much not to less. Then i started the story and wow! The world is open, wide, and unbelievably beautiful. The character are fun atleast the one you can interact with. Hogwarts itself is huge i've played for a while now but i maybe saw 10% of it. Why a 9/10 then you ask? There is some glitches/ bugs here and there especially with the graphics it's most notable if you play on max settings (fidelity with raytracing) but that's it the rest of the game is pure joy and fellows keep in mind it's a game and it's been a long time i started a game and played trough it with a big smile and i cannot put it down.
    This was my review, see you in Hogwarts!

    The most boring game ever. Empty open world, stupid plot, senseless dialogues, boring and unlikeble characters. Monotonous battle system. Many bugs and bad optimization. This is a 3D Hogwarts excursion, but not a game.

    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

    The game is highly overrated and does not deserve such high ratings.
    The visual component of the game is a delight. The gameplay is extremely average. The rest is just poorly done.
    If in this game, in addition to the visual, there was also a good plot, then I would be ready to forgive her everything. However, this is not the case and the plot in the game is very mediocre. The game is made

    Absolutely excellent game. I haven't read the books since I was a young teenager, and was on the fence. But after seeing someone stream it, I had to dive in and - no regrets! Incredibly fun, exploring the castle is great

    About the game though. A beautiful game to experience. It's clear a lot of time went into designing Hogwarts and the area surrounding it. The amount of detail in the game and the graphics are just phenomenal! On top of that the atmosphere with ambience and music is on point. Gameplay wise the game is very good as well. There is a heavy focus on exploration which just feels well done and rewarding with a good mix of puzzles. The combat is very good as well. The beginning obviously is quite basic since you only have a few spells but the further you get in the game with more spells unlocked and with more talents available, the combat just feels very smooth and satisfying. Difficulty is just right for me on normal, at times a bit challenging and at times not so much. The customization of your character is also pretty extensive with a good amount of options to choose from in the beginning and quite a big wardrobe of cosmetics to collect throughout the game. Quests are varied enough for me, they don't feel repetitive and I enjoy doing all the little side things the game has to offer. About the story I can't say much because I'm not super far into it but so far it's fine although nothing groundbreaking here.

    Overall a very enjoyable Adventure/RPG game to play, especially if you love the Harry Potter universe!

    The only downside for me was how few companions you can interact with and how limited it was, I would have loved it more if it had more school experiences and classes.

    I really wanted to love this game, but as time goes on I never find myself wanting to play it and when I do play it I find myself wanting to do something else. This won’t be the case for everybody so let me lay out what was disappointing and enjoyable to me personally:

    I really wanted to love this game, but as time goes on I never find myself wanting to play it and when I do play it I find myself wanting to do something else. This won’t be the case for everybody so let me lay out what was disappointing and enjoyable to me personally:

    The good: -atmosphere is incredible
    -combat is fun, satisfying, and engaging
    -music is both original and reminiscent of the original HP score
    -no game breaking bugs
    -riding the broom is f’n sweet

    The bad:
    -frame rate issues on fidelity mode
    -constant pop-in on performance and fidelity mode
    -constant fade to black and loading creating disengagement -piss poor story (couldn’t care less about what happens for whatever reason or to who)
    -NPCs/characters are as robotic and lifeless as anything I’ve ever encountered
    -the open world provides little to no reason to explore it outside of hardline quest objectives
    -every combat situation can be solved the same way -holds your hand all the way through as if you’ve never played a video game
    -level locked areas that provide no reason for being restricted other than *you’re not a high enough level*
    -can only attack designated *enemies* -UI is needlessly convoluted (small gripe)

    Overall, the game is basically assassins creed with a wand and broom at Hogwarts. If you like AC you’ll like this, if you hate AC (like me) you’ll hate it. I could care less about the controversy surrounding the game (obvi, because I bought it) I just straight up didn’t find it fun or engaging overall. It doesn’t bring anything new to the table from a mechanical perspective and lacks charm from a character and storytelling perspective.

    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...

    Stealth player review. Played on Series S.

    Stealth is not only an option, it is an incredibly fun way to play. Early in the game you will learn an invisibility spell and how to magically subdue opponents. Anyone that has played Assassin’s Creed will feel right at home. In some cases you can clear an entire camp by just knocking everyone out. In other cases you can pick off the stragglers before launching into open attack.

    Another stealth tactic I use is to cast a spell while invisible that pulls a target to me, hit them with two fire spells and finish them off with a wand if need be. Even if this alerts other enemies (often it doesn’t), by the time they have began to respond you have finished combat and dropped back into stealth. When they come looking for you simply maneuver to flank them and stun as many as you can.

    In open combat it is easy to take on up to three enemies. Four on up becomes an issue as spell cooldowns limits damage output. You can have up to 16 spells equipped, broken in to 4 groups of 4 bound to the D pad. If you are dexterous (I am not) you can switch between groups on the fly making it so that you never have to wait for a cooldown. If you do not like to swap spells during combat then I got you covered… potions and helpful flora.

    Potions once upgraded do things like making you invulnerable for a short time, or make an electrical storm stun, and I believe it damages enemies too. Or you can from stealth toss out some vicious carnivores cabbages that will cause mayhem that never gets old to watch. Toss a plant that acts as a stationary magic firing ally. The various potions and flora at your disposal can make an otherwise tough fight a lot less tough.

    There are many things you can do without breaking stealth including casting some spells, tossing out flora friends and I think you can drink potions too. As for the gameplay and story… it is amazing! Been a while since I have seen such a polished game upon release. The flow of the game is amazing as everything seems connected. For example I thought the base building and animal husbandry would be boring filler. Instead items received by caring for the animals was used to make upgrades to my armor. Another example are some side tasks that do things like expand your inventory for doing so.

    Minor gripes.

    Seen many beds, but never seen anyone sleeping in them. Perhaps they turn themselves invisible then levitate above their beds wrapped in a cloak of invisibility?! A save bug caused me to lose an hour and a half of gameplay. When doing a manual save it should take three seconds or so. If it takes a lot longer then probably best to exit the game and reload the last save.

    All in all one of the best games I have ever played. An exceptional level of detail and polish make this game perhaps one of the greats.

Also I would've never said anything that warrants this kind of permament suspension, at worst I was talking crap on EAs Sims 4 predatory gaming practices of cutting a main game up and selling it to you in 20-$40 "game & expansion packs". So the suspension is complete BS, groups of circle jerks can get together and report something you typed as offensive and it auto-bans you and some lame gamer on a power-trip volunteering for their "ambassador" program (more circle jerks with fragile egos) reviews the ban and appeal. Boycott Xbox, they don't deserve your money with their "woke" parenting of even the lamest of things like GAME REVIEWS.

    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.

    best game for 2020-2023 Game of the YEAR or of the decade. If the so-called minority does not intervene, then the game always turns out to be cool. As long as the rest of the publishers are led by this minority, then their games will be ****

    The developers have done a grand job with this game so far.

    GUILTY! I have not yet completed the main storyline but I have sunk many hours into this game already. The attention to detail here is just excellent, the developers/designers did a great job with their research. Top quality cut scenes. Phenomenal visuals, as a fellow 3D Artist I take great inspiration from the work

    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!

The graphics are insane, it doesn't focus on hyperrealism, but it isn't cartoonish neither, it just feels right. It isn't only the school that looks beautiful, but the surrounding area as well, which is quite big, something I wasn't expecting at all when the game was first announced. Flying around in a broom is quite marvelous as well, I was worried that the controls could be a bit complicated, but the developers really nailed it. Expand

    Poudlard est superbement reconstitué, le gameplay est réussi et dynamique (c'était pas gagné d'avance), les graphismes sont très beaux et on prend plaisir à explorer le chateau et l'extérieur.

    Points négatifs : des soucis de performance qui, j'espère, seront réglés bientôt et une quête principale qui aurait pu être plus intéressante.
    Mais la très bonne impression d'ensemble du titre fait que je lui donne quand même 9/10

    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.
