I think go all the way and you start by recieving your invitation to hogwarts as a young 1st year student. With minimal danger and as you progress through the years of school the danger and tension rises with the threat of the antagonist very much like Harry's story. Except, the danger starts to manifest as you become more adept with magic it becomes known that you are the only decendant of Merlin that is still alive and the only threat to the antagonist (as long as your magical potential is realized in time as you navigate the story and the open world)

I absolutely loved this game SO DAMN MUCH

I love this game, but the one thing that I did not like was thst you could not date any of the main NPCs.

For me this game is quite overrated
I would describe it as a "Screenshot" game, be swept away by nostalgia and illusions but do not look too much into it. It is pretty, it is smooth and it is harry potter but that is it.

I give them credit for the perk system. If paid attention here, you can easily and vastly improve the power of your character even with focus on your favoite spells.

The Transmog system is good, i would have just appreciated a bit more variety in terms of like the milestone rewards and less of the same schoolrobes but it is fine.

A lot of activities feel like from an ubi soft title and very repetive and without the connected milestone rewards i bet nobody would even do them more than five times.

Combat at first is interesting but gets repetetiv very fast and reminds me too much of force unleashed's force powers and destiny's enemy shield system in which you can't, deal damage before breaking their match-the-color-bubble.
It is just

hold enemy in the air
fire
basic attack
and
curses

You can combine spells to form a combo and of course it needs a form of parry and dodgeroll
but there is little variety here to experiment and it gets boring quite fast after you had them all for while

Choices do not matter and there are no consequences to anything you do which hurts the rpg aspect of the game hard aswell as replayability except the house related quest and that's it.

Overall it is a good game, especially considered what we got in the past harry potter games and even better than some recent releases
but standards have lowered a lot over the years.

The game is quite average but compared to the recent greed parade of publishers around, it looks like a blessing

Got the platinum trophy within 2 weeks of owning the game. Best trophy grind experience I ever had. Didn't even use a guide except when I was struggling to find a handful missing collectables at the end. Amazing world to explore, had way too much fun just roaming around the castle and discovering all the hidden secrets within. Such a gem this game. And any true Harry Potter fan would be delighted experiencing this for themselves. Of course there were some minor annoyances, but nothing compared to other big games I played to 100% completion. The wait was absolutely worth it. Been following its development ever since that first teaser that was put out years ago. I really hope they do bring out some DLCs and a second game. But please take enough time to make it as good as this one.

Would love to see these devs do an original Game of Thrones open world game.

If only they would add the ability to save this would be a brilliant game.

i love this game,i had a weir and fun moment when i walked through a hallway i heard some noise behind me and i was thinking wth is that? so i turned arround and one knight statue was beating the crap out of another and it just made me laugh so hard.

This kind of game and quality was what Cyberpunk fans were waiting for with what was promised for them and never got it.
Hogwarts Legacy is near perfect, every other game developers must pay close attention and learn!

I don't understand this… How can a triple-A game release and be enjoyable and not have game breaking bugs, micro transactions, broken battle mechanics, disappointing/cringey dialog…

Step step, revelio, step step revelio 😪

I reas the first book twice and have seen the movies. I actually hated Harry Potter, especially the movies. But I’m a huge fan of open world games like Skyrim and DAMN this game is so fun. Been loving every second of it so far.

Just finished the story today, at level 34 which I had no idea to do. It's an amazing game, awesome story, character's, graphics etc. Too much to list! I give this game a 10 out of 10. My console is Xbox one S and had NO issues

This game is amazing. I can't get enough 😍😍.

Nice video but dude, I beg you, stop screaming in your mic.

I really have enjoyed the game and have alrady made 2 other alts in different houses. My few gripes (no spoilers) are as follows:

1. There is no clear indication on why we start out as a 5th year when most wizards/witches would have clearly shown magical talent at a much younger age so I think they did a poor job explaining this.
2. I would have liked there to have been some clear outcomes of decisions made throughout the story whether good or bad like The Witcher 3 etc.
3. I would have liked there to have been more friends/allies relationship development and more times where an ally could come with you for certain missions so I think that was poorly done as well.
4. The gear customisation I agree (not talking about transmog) I also would have liked that you don't keep getting the same type of gear but higher level until you get the gear/cosmetics you haven't received yet.
5. Finally, the beast breeding I found pretty pointless aside from getting extra mats which you can't even sell which leads to the bottom half of the traits that didn't even unlock until the very end.

Still really did overall enjoy the game a lot. Is it at the same level as RDR2/Witcher 3, no but its still a great game.

This game is a solid 7/10. Story is good. Game still has bugs. Battling mechanics not as good as other games. Dialogue doesn't affect gameplay. Good graphics. Good customization. Good music.

how can you give a honest review when in the first min u say i was given an exclusive ps5 code to play stuff none of you can, your admitting you just got bought of to give them a great review and low and behold you did when if u was being honest the world is tiny the flying is a joke and the amount of bugs is silly for how long they spent making it. All it has going for it is its harry potter and and it looks kinda pretty

PlayStation is honestly the worst for buying off exclusive content for themselves. Such an underhanded thing to do to gamers, in general. I wish developers would show some morales, and stop agreeing too it. Tho anyone who plays a PlayStation is just as bad, for greedily supporting these practices, imo.
