Hogwarts Legacy

Absolutely Amazing Game! Thank You to EVERYONE that had a hand in making it!

The Detail is Perfect, The Story is Amazing!

Gameplay could have a small adjustment here and there in terms of mechanics (flying) , but still incredible to the point of barely noticing.

The animals/magical beast are on point! Beautiful and extremely well designed.

The sound effects and voice acting is incredible and immersive to the point it feels like I'm truly there in game.

Hogwarts Castle is so well done it feels like it was pulled from my imagination.

The Forbidden forest is so incredible and alluring that it actually provides an ominous feeling.

The map is so ALIVE and vibrant, it's just stunning.

(Apparently there are people saying they have had performance/FPS issues?)

I have had no issue(s) in that compacity gameplay wise or other etc, it has been a smooth and fun ride.

The Game itself truly truly felt like coming home.

VERY VERY VERY GOOD GAME!

Fully and Completely Recommend playing it!

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!

It feels like I've been waiting for this game for more than 20 years. I was ready for it since I read the first books as a child, but technology wasn't ready at the time.

I will not spoil anything, the story is more than decent though nothing extraordinary. However that matters very little. All that matters is that you get to live out your fantasy of attending Hogwarts and practicing magic!

All the locations, be it Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest and the surrounding countryside feel alive in a way you can't even imagine! Through many segments, I was honestly smiling like a small boy out of sheer joy and I'm a grown man. Simply put, if you too have enjoyed the wizarding world, then do not miss out on this experience!

PS: Only reasons I gave it 9 stars and not 10 are because the facial expressions could use a little more work and mainly because Quidditch is missing. If they add that in a dlc, we are talking the perfect game!

The game that Wizarding World fans have waited for. Finally, you can experience an open world game that keeps you hooked for hours.

I enjoyed the story a lot - I will not spoiler here, so I am just going to say that it was exciting. I also liked the relationship stories as well, with Sebastian's clearly standing out. The side missions were fine as well.

What I loved is the amount of detail that you will find while going and exploring through Hogwarts Legacy. So much lore, so many collectibles - if you are into that, then you will find yourself having countless hours of fun.

But even if you are not a big fan of the books and movies, you will enjoy your time in this game. It is positively one of the better open world games.

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.
