Hogwarts Legacy

After 60 hours of Gameplay, I have completed Main story and 90% of all side activities.

World Building & Graphics - Hogwarts is as spectacular as it is in movie, they have worked really hard on the finetuning the minor details which I absolutely appreciated.

Outside world is also well done it ain't AC Franchise good but still it's nice so Overall I give the World built a 8/10

Main story and protagonist (voice acting) - Sadly it is Mediocre, I felt some side quests had better story, than main one but gotta admit it's beautifully rendered and cinematic; almost as good as HP movies. Supporting characters are exceptional and will remain with you for a while but the same is not the case of Protagonist, poorly written dialogues and under utilized a forgettable hero (maybe that's the point). So Overall Story and characters I give a 7/10.

Side quests & Activities - Lot of amazing side quests with truly exceptional and touching stories. But it had these certain repetitive and un-skippable cut scenes and dialogues which may get on your nerve at times. So 9/10

Gameplay & Combat - Personally I encountered next to zero bugs during my 60 hour gameplay in PC, Well refined combat mode and Flight is just amazing, never knew a broom can be this fun to ride. Spell casting, general world interaction everything were great. I'll give 10/10

The Magic Element - Its here, its there its eveeerryywhere, truly exceptional, I just wish there were more content to play cant get over Hogwarts truly worth the wait - 10/10.

Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone, its' Magical!!!

Final Score - 9/10

Mischief Managed...

I'm currently 25 hours into the early-access stage of the game and it's fair to say that this game is incredible. Despite not having received a day one patch yet, I have barely encountered any major bugs or issues that caused my immersion to fade away.

I'm slightly biased when it comes to open world RPG's games with plenty of customization and exploration options, but nonetheless that genre is easy to get wrong. I'm happy to say that 'Hogwarts Legacy' got it right. I also get huge "Elden Ring" vibes but with a sweet and cosy swing to it. Obviously the duels and enemy encounters aren't as difficult (at least not at the point I've reached), but they feel uniquely similar which is cool.

The world design is breathtaking. Every time I'm looking at Hogwarts or another beautiful landmark, I find myself taking a screenshot and uploading it to my Steam account. The graphics are butter smooth and well optimized, which makes this game a joy to play - even on a somewhat mid-range PC like I have myself.

Some spaces in the open world are certainly empty, but there is still so much to do. I'm quite overwhelmed by how many different side-quests and places I can visit. There is so much lore to dive into and characters to meet. I don't think I'll ever run out of adventurous fun.

The combat features are brilliant and don't get tiring for me, at least not yet. With the regular introduction of new spells and ancient magic, you constantly have the ability to create unique combos and make each duel feel somewhat authentic. Flying on a broom or magical creature feels very smooth as well, I can tell they really optimized this feature. Perhaps it is because I play with a controller.

I'm also glad they created an original soundtrack with a touch of the original theme of Harry Potter. Anyhow, I can probably say a lot more but that would transform this review into a novel. There is simply just so much to do, it's insane! So far, game of the year for me. I can't wait for more patches and updates that make this journey even longer. Well done!

Hogwarts Legacy was an incredible game that lived up to the hype. From the moment I loaded it up, I felt like I had been transported into a magical world of adventure and exploration. The graphics were stunningly realistic and brought Hogwarts to life in ways that no other game has ever achieved before. Every mission felt unique as you encountered new challenges while exploring this captivating world filled with secrets and surprises around every corner.

The gameplay was also top-notch, allowing players to customize their character's abilities in order to find success during battles or puzzles they may encounter during their journey through Hogwarts Legacy's story mode campaign missions or side quests. The controls were intuitive enough for even novice gamers, yet still provided some challenges for veterans who wanted a bit more depth out of the experience when playing on higher difficulty levels.

Unfortunately, though there is one glaring issue with this otherwise masterful title - its lack of online features such as co-op play or photo mode which would have made it much more enjoyable for those looking for an immersive multiplayer experience with friends from across the globe. Despite this setback however, Hogwarts Legacy remains one of my favorite games released so far in 2023 due to its beautiful visuals, engaging storyline, varied gameplay mechanics, and overall level design.

RL.

1) My initial playthrough is coming to an end

2) I will never be able to play it again for the first time.

Visually and musically, this game is awesome. Not sure why people are having trouble running it, while I don't have a potato, I don't have a Cray either.

Voice acting is solid. Be forewarned there are a lot of cutscenes and dialogue. If you run around trying to ONLY complete the main quest in an hour (Hint: you can't), you'll be disappointed.

There is a LOT to do in the game. Initially you'll be overwhelmed, but don't worry, you'll get there.

Take your time. Enjoy the ride.

For me, I'm a harry potter fan, I really liked the game, despite not bringing anything revolutionary and new, the game does everything it sets out to do relatively well, for a harry potter fan the game is very good, as the game itself has its flaws, some of them are very annoying are the bugs with trophies, I couldn't get 100% of the game due to a bug that has not yet been resolved, if you are that fan of harry potter play this game without fear go have a lot of fun, my rating for the game as a fan is 8 out of 10.

Ps: the story is not so remarkable but it's good, and the strongest point of this game in my opinion is the gameplay.
