    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    Hogwarts Legacy has finally been released on PS5, Xbox Series X & S and PC. After much controversy in the weeks leading up to launch regarding JK Rowling's attachment to the series, we've seen many people swayed by their emotions whhen talking about this game. Wired recently did a review and gave it a 1/10 scores, streamers were harassed by their audiences and told them not to play the game. On the other hand, this has caused others to feel even more inclined to support the game and Metacritic user scores are higher than those of critics. In this video, I give my final verdict as someone trying to stay as objective about the game as I possibly can. I dive into the story, gameplay, broom flying, combat, and much more. Thanks for watching!

    I completed it last night. It’s definitely a good game but not without flaws. Enemy variety, Generic open world activities, lacklustre side quests, performance issues, audio issues, voice acting, irritating gear capacity & bugs were my biggest gripes.
    Despite these issues I had, you can tell when a game is made with love. For their first crack at the whip, they delivered the best HP game to date.

      Yes u right. It’s the best Harry Potter game but a pretty basic rpg. For a rpg every aspect of the game is too weak. I delete the game after finish the story and won’t play it again.

      I have a feeling that the Witcher 3, the Fallouts and Elden Ring really spoiled me when it comes to open world RPGs . Hogwart's often fell short compared to these legends but I still believe this is a very good game but it's kinda bloated especially if want to 100% it.
      My main gripes are the limited dialogue options and that loot is almost always just marginally better (or not better at all) clothing that doesn't even matter that much.
      Also some of the underground mini dungeons and caves are very very lackluster. Only those are decent that require loading screens. But it's a shame they couldn't make a seamlessly connected world just like in Elden Ring. Maybe in their sequel.

    It's a shallow RPG but it's still a fun game. I'm not saying it's shallow as a negative, it's just very accessible gameplay most people can easily get into. The game is even better if you're a fan of the books and movies because there are so many familiar locations and references.
    I hope they do a sequel, perhaps at another of the magical schools or in another time period.

    It’s definitely a good game but it’s suffers from a bland story\side quests (except for a small few quests which are pretty good), cliche and outdated world activities, and the fact that the desperately wanted hog warts student experience many of us crave isn’t really given to us in this game. There are more problems but these are, to me, the most problematic.

    Great review Robin. I think it's a very solid 8/10 game. Hogwarts and Hogsmead are the best parts of the world by far, but the wider world is a pretty safe open world. Combat is super fun and some side quests are great, especially one with the unforgivable curses, but some are very by the numbers fetch quests. It's definitely enhanced a lot if you're a fan of HP. I think it's a damn good effort for Avalanche's first foray into a game of this scope, but lots of room for improvement.

This game has... I've lost count, there's probably like 10 different puzzle templates, and they're totally different, there's word puzzles, there's matching shapes, there's math, there's geometry, there's portals, and there's platforming. Having the variety makes a huge difference, I've almost never enjoyed puzzles except in Portal, and in this game.

    I’m not too far into it, but loving it so far. I can’t help but think this is a great foundation for a sequel. It’s great, if they could tighten up technical issues, improve a few animations, lip syncing etc, and then once they’ve done that, they can focus on expanding the spells, exploration, story and choices and really making those aspects really stand out.

    The game is very pretty and super fun to play , But compared to older games it doesnt feel super complex . The fighting is very easy and feels like a good made mobile game . Also i didnt get alot of ''Student'' feeling . First of all because they start us off as a fifth year . I get that they do that since they cant make a first year go out and cast the cursed spells . But they could atleast give us the "Magical'' feeling by making us take the whole trip and then just forward 5 Years in a cut scene . Also i would have expected to have taken more classes . And not just super easy 1 minute lessons and then do the most easy ever movement with my mouse to learn a spell ? and thats it i never ever go to class anymore . So yes the game is pretty and it is fun but not the ultimate game . Since its kinds boring at some point if you dont care about exploring and seeing how pretty the castel look . I dont get why alot of those ''people'' that are boycotting this game are doing so ? the game is made for sugar cubes . No challenges . If i look at other big franchise RPG games like the Witcher or Elder scroll games this game doesnt come close to it sadly

    It's a good game, I'm already towards the end of my 2nd playthrough and will do 2 more after that! But its best quality is that while it might just be a "good" game, it's a GREAT foundation to build on. The DLC and sequel potential is through the roof, not to mention that a lot of super shallow "tick the box" type aspects can easily be greatly improved upon. Based on how successful the game is, I'm very hopeful that this decade will have some of the best RPGs take place in the Wizarding World created by JKR.

    Im seeing more and more of these videos and I’m glad I’m not in the minority. It’s a good game but so many things could’ve been fleshed out. One thing that dissapointed me were things included in older games that either aren’t here or aren’t fleshed out. Small things like wizards chess, gobstones but also a big thing like potions.
    In an earlier HP game (can’t remember which) you actually had to make the potion. So stir it till it’s the right colour, look for certain things etc. Here it’s just a button press. Same with the actual spells, could’ve been fun to have some sort of stick movement as opposed to just buttons.
    I really enjoyed the game for at least 30 hours but I explored so much and right now I’ve got really high completion, tons of gear and I’m actually a lil bored with it.

    Pros: Gorgeous graphics.
    I enjoyed the combat dynamics.
    I liked the customization for the main character.
    In general, I really liked the main story quest. And the companion quests with Sebastian, Natty, and Poppy. Wish there was a second male npc here. Maybe one that was the opposite of Sebastian.
    I feel like they left it open to have multiple sequels. I’m really eager to learn more about the story and to close off some loose ends. My imagination on the story has been set a light and that hasn’t happened since I read the original HP books. So great job on that part.
    I loved the flying but do have some gripes on the controls.
    Some of the NPCs were really good (Fig, Sebastian, Natty, Poppy, Prof Weasley, headmaster black) but most were flat, obnoxious, or uninteresting.
    Definitely wish that there was a more dynamic system where our decisions had a greater affect on how the story played out. They really oversimplified that system in an effort to make players feel free to use the unforgivable curses. A lot of what I’ve seen, even among people who are enjoying using curses in combat are feeling the lack a satisfaction in going dark because of the lack of consequences. I really do hope they’ll find a way to fix that in any sequels.
    Cons:
    I really hate the inventory system and having to do merlin trials to up that.
    The room of requirement is kinda cool, but is also a giant time suck to customize. Though I imagine some people enjoy that sort of thing.
    Really do wish our decisions could have greater influence on the way the story plays out. That might have helped avoid the quests from feeling so shallow.
    Wish there was some kind of school house point system. There could have used some of the mini side-quests to influence that.
    Some of the game play gets a tad repetitive, like alohamora mini game.
    Overall, I absolutely adore this game. Not being a big gamer or RPG player, I found it super easy to get sucked into. I truly feel there is so much potential here for sone really great stuff. I only fear they won’t be able to deliver what we want in a reasonable timeline.

    It's okay, I love Harry Potter but I got bored really quickly. It feels a bit like playing an offline MMO to be honest. The standout part is Hogwarts of course and while it's definitely beautiful and well designed it's kind of underutilised. There's not a lot to actually do there or interact with. The "puzzles" are dead simple and the collectables are super uncreative given the source material (floating pages, seriously?). The rest of the world (besides Hogsmead) is just a bunch of similar looking hills and forests with little to no character that I had no desire to explore. I wonder if they should have simply scrapped the surrounding area and instead focused their time and resources on making Hogwarts as alive, interactive and filled with content as they could.

      I agree with you though. I think the story and the characters are the weakest part of the game. This is probably why I haven’t finished the main story yet- just don’t feel the drive to find out what happens next.

    "Unbiased". Duude. Everyone trying to not offend anyone these days. This is average game with poor RPG mechanics, literally several types of enemies. Your choices does not matter at all -- linear plot. The main plot is boring. Sebastian story is only somehow interesting and Poppy's. Everybody crying in the end about mr. Fig, when in fact he didn't participate much, players do not get attached and don't give a fuck. They didn't even reveal who the main protagonist and what's hist story.
    However, the world (the castle and some surroundings) itself are very precise. I truly liked it, there is a great job was done by mapping and designing depts.
    In the end I didn't felt anything. After ending a great game it leaves you in some kind of sadness that it ended. Like, I do not know, RDR2 for example or Mass Effect (1-3). This just gave nothing. I'm HP big fan (books/movies) also a gamer. Invested 58h.

    People need to be aware of the concept of separating the art from the artist. Girlfriends Reviews just got harrassed through their stream ONLY because they played Hogwarts Legacy and as far as I can tell, these JK Rowling haters are no better than JK Rowling herself. I am not even a Harry Potter fan, I am not even trying to defend JK Rowling's poor choices of words. Just wanna ask those haters: what makes you any better than JK Rowling by harrassing streamers and gamers who just want to enjoy the game? Having the game flop doesn't make JK Rowling any less rich anyways so what are you trying to accomplish exactly? Not to mention, there are a lot of Star Wars fans who hate George Lucas. They love the films (Mostly the original trilogy), they just don't like the guy.
