You can't build relationships , made me want to go out in the real world and make friends
Did you succeed?
@@benign4823 barely
@@Chris-dp6yr What did it take?
@Kenny yes lol it's fun but there's so much room for potential in this game , Im not fully satisfied yet I know they can do it
@@benign4823everything
I caught myself saying "wouldn't it have been cool if..." almost nonstop during this game. That's kind of a red flag.
True.
I liked the beginning. The first hour or so. I thought ok you have a somehow nice introduction, you have a mixture (it seemed like) between open world and more linear missions and settings outside the map. ( I hate it if there is everything on the map and every location you have is there at any time. Thats what i hated at GTA and RDR2 😅 )
But After the first mission in Hogsmeade i never touched it again cause nothing ment anything in the game. 🤷
@boilinghippo4468 Yeah, it's literally pointless. Well, at least you might get some garbage gloves that are worse than you're already wearing. Or maybe even a hideous pair of glasses that's never gonna be worn.
@@boilinghippo4468After the mission in Hogsmeade it's when everything starts to fall apart and the game just goes horrible from there on.
Games should be more focused on actual hogwarts, like doing quests there, sneaking around and exploring with your friends. Then when you would actually have a quest that takes you to forbiden forest or something it would actually feel cool and excting. But in this game you are out on the killing sprees most of the time and sometimes you go to hogwarts to do a choar
Ah hogwarts legecy the tale of a 15-year-olds path to becoming the most prolific serial killer and poacher of all time! 🤣
And that’s why it’s an amazing game. :3
4:08 The fact that characters n questing is weakest parts of an R P G, goes to show what a scam this was.
For real. I get a bit pissed when people call this game a masterpiece. It’s a soulless, empty husk. Especially when you read about everything they cut. And then people say “well they’ll surely do better with the sequel!” Why would they? This game was a “success.” Why would they not make it exactly the same as they did the first? Big empty map with nothing but collectibles to make up for the lack of content.
Dude i didnt get how this game was so loved. Obviously its because its harry potter but the game is just terrible. I havent played the game and never will because its just your typical open world game back from even the ps4 era i wanna say maybe even ps3. I expected so much more from a game that was in development for like what 5 years? The open world is small , the ai is terrible for the characters extremely basic, the map is all beauty with no depth. very noninteractive environment AND ITS 2023 FOR GODS SAKE. Npcs from the grand theft auto five or four era. This game is just a boring open world basic rpg nothing more. I didnt expect it to be on read dead level THOUGH IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. But at least get it half as good as Red Dead and id still be a great game. Game is empty and very average open world game, take the graphics down 20 to 30 percent and itd be the equivalent of a ps3 level open world rpg. @@RickJoystick
Yall complain so. I just got hogwarts legacy five days ago and it's a easy 10/10 rpg, yall are just not real fans, go back playing gayring
@@rayosborne8617 elden ring shits 10 times over gaywards legacy
@blackvalio4060 yhea maybe for yall that like to be punish more than enjoy the game, at least hogwarts legacy I can enjoy myself without getting fucked by bullshit mechanics
Red dead redemption 2 still remains the best game I’ve ever played. The main thing missing with this game was a great story and characters but this game has none of that.
RDR2 would gave been perfect if there was less shooting missions, which got pretty damn boring and started being super unrealistic. Also there should have been more freedom of approach. It ess basically just playing a movie. All the missions were just following exactly what the game tells you.
@@jr5993replace shooting missions in a game that’s main focus is about outlaws. Sorry but that doesn’t make any sense.
@@Kaisaccountt did I say no shooting? No I didn't. I said there were too many. I mean nobody would survive that many fire fights. It would be cool if the damage was more realistic and cover shooting was improved. But with a shaky system and little variety it gets really tedious. Its literally every mission in the last chapter. And it gets so predictable. They have a plan, it goes wrong then a shooting insues.
@@jr5993yes rdr2 got most things right but, the whole movie thing is exactly like gta. Its very linear. You don’t even have to try
The open world in this game isn’t shit
Tbh I feel the game lacks in replayability. And there aren't a huge variety of enemy's or beasts. I still love the game. But once I seen we can't fight dementors, It was a bit disappointing.
most likely dlc
@Joske Vermeulen ya exactly. And who knows this may be an entry to a game franchise. Hopefully the come out with dlc that ads Azkaban properly and diagon alley. More beasts and enemy's maybe.
@@hoocom2506 Yea, I was hoping for Diagon alley.... or Stutter alley? 😁😁😁
Bro it doesn't even have playability
we need more vivoriums for beasts like seriously and more creatures to breed
There was so much potential but so small was done to turn this into a master peace.
Your character has totally no personality whatsoever, no friends, no family, no drama. You are a 5th grade student but there is nothing in the game covering your student life. Even the faction that you use does not matter. There is no competition between factions of the university. Every NPC likes you for no apparent reason, the way they communicate and talk is just trash, I skipped every single NPC conversation after realizing I won't find any useful information and I would just waste my time listening to the unending bulshit. I have absolutely no clue how developers couldn't make up a story that would be that boring in a world full of magic. Exploration is fun only for the first few hours until it becomes a routine that are easy even for a 7-year-old kid. The game introduces you to a couple of dozen spells half of which don't even care about, and you just spam all the buttons to beat the game even on hardest difficulty with ease. Vivarium full of magic creatures seems fun, until you realize you have limited slots, and those creatures are just NPCs with no personality and interaction.
This game could have been just so much better. So many recourses used, so much expectation but so low delivery. This is just a 2000s game with improved graphics, nothing more I can say. DISSAPOINTED.
Gaming is just corporate shieeet now. Everything has to be made safe and boring
This game was made for kids
Yes. They could have done more.
Hogwarts is too small sadly. Castle needs 7 floors , more space etc. We dont need ten different villages, 80% of the game is not lore friendly at all
Thank you! The map should've just been Hogwarts but bigger, the Black Lake with the underwater parts, Hogsmeade, and a gigantic dense, creepy, scary Forbidden Forest. All the extra hamlets were worthless and the extensive caves, mines were such a waste
@@gamejester. yep, and hamlets dont exist around Hogwarts! Hogwarts lies in the scottish wilderness! And oh boy was I excited to take midnight strolls through the castle, find secret passages etc, or dive in the black lake and visit merpeople, but nothing of it happened 😭
@@XxXBattleStarXxX Agreed Black Lake with Merpeople, Grindylows, and Giant Squid would have been nice. We could've used gillyweed or bubble head charm.
Forbidden Forest was better in the movies. Giant tree trunks and roots, dark and foggy. It's supposed to be really scary and make you afraid to go in.
I hope for next game we get dementors with Expecto Patronum, Quidditch, Wizard chess, romance, and Triwizard Tournament for story. Also Disapparation for fast travel.
The room of requirement was a huge waste. Could've worked on other stuff
@@gamejester. yeah forest would be so epic , not that litte bunch of woods filled witj poachers. I had more fun in the HP 5 game than in Hogwarts legacy
@@XxXBattleStarXxX yes that was annoying. I appreciate the game didn't have microtransactions and wasn't live service but it has its share of flaws. If they improve on those things for next game, it can be really great
the moment i finished the tutorial.. the game ended.. overrated.. boring.. and people dare compare this to elden ring..
What I have learned about Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy...... It's an open world puzzle solving game with basically Zero class events outside of pull the ball, or fly through these rings, not ground breaking by any means. And a Batman Arkham Asylum like fighting system that no one asked for, I wanted potions class to be something that wasn't a cut scene I don't know interactive maybe?
it's not that copying batman's system is inherently dumb, it's just that the execution is extremely surface level and boring.
Honestly harry potter 6 potion making was fucking perfect they should of brought that back
Why is it not receiving more criticism. I remember the leaks from back in October 2018. I thought with the time it took it wouldve been more than a generic RPG with a Harry Potter branding. The combat looks ridiculous and nothing like the movies. The older games from 2009 to 2011 did it way better. But now apparently all games need to look the same to satisfy the mouth breathers out there. Weird skins or unlockable items just makes it seems so childish. Not in a good way. The game was unnecessary. The magic of old games being nuanced is gone. Now they all use the same generic design systems. Every game looks like an UE5 reskin. Slap on a franchise name and add hours of mindless content and you've got a game
@@ryangaff8968 the magic of old games is gone. The nuances and originality. Now it's just a reskin of the same game. It's basically just a generic RPG which pays homage to the HP universe. I actually bought that game for the Wii a few years ago. The dueling was so fun aswell. Might play it again this summer.
Ubisoft game with Harry Potter skin and everyone is acting like it’s the second coming of Christ.
The controversy carried this game. Made everyone focus on BS instead of the actual pile of mediocrity.
If people enjoy the game then it's a good game mate 🤷🏻♂️ literally the only goal of games is to provide fun.
If it didn't provide you with fun then don't cry, just play a different game and leave people who aren't depressed grumps to enjoy themselves
You're ahead of the game
“Ubisoft game”😭 low key a good way to describe HL. Lackluster and repetitive for an open world rpg. Just like most Ubisoft games
@@shamarbrown4014 he's not ahead of anything, he's just a depressed morbid little guy
If you don't like the game there's a literal unlimited amount of other games he can play
Quit acting like the world's a problem when you are a problem with yourself
@@obi-wankenobi8446 Fair enough
Its a solid 6.5... after playing for more than 40 hours I got tired of fighting: Wolfs, goblins, wizards, and 10000 spiders. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game... for harry potter fans.
40 hours? I beat every sidequest and the whole game in under 30, it's not only boring, it's extremely short for an open world game.
I used to play harry potter games in the ps2, and I feel like Hogwarts doesn't work in this game. The ambience is very good and well created, but what we do in this castle doesn't matter, we are able to walk at night, the lessons in Hogwarts don't feel like a lessons. The old ps2 games did a lot of things much better.
Thats literally he whole game besides random sidequest catching beasts
ye im too about 40 Hours in and it got super boring... i could collect annoying moons to unlock alohomora 3 or collect things to get exp so i can do the next quest, played minecraft thousands of hours and still like it more, even bought a 400$ graphicscard to play hogwarts legacy
@@enter_text_now_heredon’t get me started on the stupid merlin trials…
There's no point in the dialogue u can choose in the main story because it changes nothing, and for me that was one of the reasons I bought it.
Personally it feels super rushed and its the same issues that other AAA games suffer with. It relies on DLC and after release updates to give it content. The base game has a disappointingly short and repetitive main quest. Lots of pointless side quests that only make you feel like a slave fetching pointless shit for people and the room of requirement is the only place that kind of changes but its still mostly scripted changes.
It was boring at the start, fun in the middle and boring at the end. Hopefully they don't try to gouge us for money for DLC.
Pirates life for me
Yes, thank you! Why do so few people see that?
For me it was very very good at the start when you get to pick your hogwarts house and gets introduced to the classes and the classmates, then it was boring the whole rest of the game.
@@amelhormatilha7847exactly
This game is basically just story ticks from the movies.
- Go to the bank harry was at where you have the key to a vault instead of him
- Go get your wimsical wand and have mishaps trying
- Kill a troll around your friends when you just started at the school so everyone knows you are a bad ass
Do i need to go on?
So where IS the points system with the houses ( could add conséquences if you skip classes or do Bad things)?? Why they aren't enough interaction with NPC ? Why the scaling looting in this game IS horrendous and you end up selling all of it ? Why you get the skills tree later After hours in game ? Why WE Can explore Hogwards late in Night , i thought Hogwards late in Night IS forbidden and its under surveillance, why the game makes you feel they have incorporated a karma system but Never actually did it .
Horrible level designs ( guardians dungeons are straight path and the bosses on the first two are guardians statue ,twice one good level relying on the deadly hollows and the last one ...which IS empty)
More fetch quests rather Narrative side quests : the only interesting one IS Sebastian séries of quests.
Why the open World feel like most AAA Open World Ubisoft title : more collectibles,merlin riddles , ennemies camps ramdomize .
The room of requirement IS good Idea but for the most part ,the item you use for the Beasts in order to upgrade your équipements IS obsolete, because you dont need to ,the game IS easy enough even in hard .
Your common house : you have nothing to do their ... seriously you don't really Come back ,they could have AT least give us something to do their : no mini game like the wizarding Chess .
Could have ad something like Bully or Persona 5 NpC interaction system.
The game IS good on art direction ( lore mostly) and Gameplay After you unlocked many spells ....
But this game IS by no means a ambitious game ....
They could have done it better .....
You spend most of the time doing collectibles.. with challenges and unlocked costumes/équipements for mostly aesthetics features.
Its a Ubisoft game with Harry Potter skin on it .
Real shame : art direction IS groundbreaking and GamePlaywise IS really good once you unlocked many spells.😮
Yep this is how I felt.
It made want to play read dead 2 again 😂
Art direction? what art direction? the environment does look very beautiful but the characters look unbelievably lifeless and stiff and dare I say uncanny in certain lighting, they all look like corpses and they barely emote, though this honestly is an issue I have with the great majority of ''photorealistic'' games, they just look wrong and unappealing.
Wouldn't say the gameplay was that good either, the fighting system was tons of fun but the general exploring and traversing around the world felt extremely clunky and awkward, I always felt like the camera was trying to fight me and the camera is way too close to the player character.
@@PrimalKevYT art direction IS the environnement.
Ghost Recon Wildlands was a lot better than this
@@kingrancelotti2362 Ghost Recon wildhands IS still a Bad game.
Finally, someone notice the face animation..
It's gonna age badly, imo it already doesn't look that good
@@TheRealOAFs I second that.
The open world is very monotonous. Chests almost have no value because the gear in them means basically nothing for the player. Doesn’t add anything substantial
“Don’t worry dude, you did motion capture for this game - you’d better apologize for that instead” Lmao
"No critical bugs"... lol I've had a bug every 10 min such as the hud flipping out, unable to loots chests, falling trough the world, water textures all over the place, no owl post notifications, ... It's still a good game though but I kind of expected much more. I agree on the bad motion capture and indeed the story is average at best. The gear and inventory is for me where it gets really bad: this game wants to annoy you as hard as possible with limited inventory space and endless merlian trials to unlock a few extra slots, and some gear really looks goofy and low effort. I also didn't like the repetitive quests where "drink this potion and this potion at the same time to learn a spell" and the trials felt repetitive. Also pressing triangle on a controller for Protego is so bad and u can't change the controls.... This game is a 7/10 but couldv been 9/10
Stop playing it on pc dweeb
Not even a 7. More like 5.5 or a solid 6. Way overhyped and lackluster for an open world rpg.
@@XxRDZ15xX
as a open world game, I give it a 5, but total package an 8.
The open world quests are boring. Honestly they could remove most of the open world, limited just Hogwarts, Hogsmead, and the forbidden forrest. Probably a few other places too, but If You needed to go anywhere else just a fade to black transition and you're there when you start/finish a quest (which a few quests do)
I watched a TH-camr play the first 5 hours of this game and realized all of the issues that you have taken the time to point out, the worst being the poor replayability of the game. Judging by the shallow world, story and character development and the inconsequential impact that your actions have on these things, this game was not designed for its replay value. You cannot have an entirely different game experience by making different choices and playing as different avatars, like you can with other games within this genre. This devalues the game enormously, especially when there were so many opportunities to build a choice-consequence system into the game--especially using the school itself (different houses could equate to different magical specialties that influence how you interact with the world, for instance). It's a very big disappointment for people who don't enjoy boring button-mashing/shooter-style games that require no thought or strategy.
you know there was supposed to be a morality system in the game but there isnt one
I think a lot of the fun comes from the connection to the films and books there are a lot of little nods to the lote of harry potter that you would only know if you are a huge fan (witch i am). There are paintings and pathways directly taken from descriptions of the books. Thank you's to deceased actors from the films.
I would love to have a moral system in the game that leads you to a real dark quest line if you want to be a dark wizard
the love for the movies and books carries the game so hard. It blinds people from seeing what a basic rpg this is.
It's a ubisoft game with a harry potter skin. It's incredibly boring and bland.
I'm sad to see how much work was put into this game only for it to fall so short in a few crucial ways. Characters were bland, npcs's were lifeless, and gameplay, storyline and interactions were all unbearably childish. The only good thing, and where most developer efforts clearly focused, was for this game to be a sightseeing tour for HP fans. In that regard I say bravo. It's a wizarding simulator with a mediocre story mode. If only Bethesda had made the game.. if only.. Just look at the other games Warner Bros has put out and it becomes clear that they were the wrong developer for this game.
Yeah would be interesting to see how much avalanche was ( maybe ) hindered by WB. 🤷
Not Bad" Its just Over-rated. Couldn't have said it better. DLC may save it, 60 hours in 96% complete, but its time for me to pack things up until then. Maybe they address multiplier dueling as an option too, or a hub to see your friends .IT NEEDS LIFE
Honestly, it’s probably one of the worst rpg’s I’ve seen. It’s a fun game but a terrible rpg. There are like no variety of enemies, even though there are multiple map zones. Comparing this to something like Elden ring where each region has unique enemies. It’s meh
Professor Weasleys dialogue was so long and annoying omg
ah, so a game designed to look cool in clips and streams, but actual garbage to play.
Spot on description. There's a reason the devs "dont want to spoil too much" once you actually explore the world and finish the intro missions you get smacked with the reality of how empty the game is. Its really sad that there are people saying not to have too high expectations and that the creators could only do so much when other harry potter games and other games in general (lord of the rings, bully, even godfather) (not to mention witcher 3, skyrim, fallout 4, valheim, gta) have done the same but better in the past.
its a game about little girls and boys playing with their wands.. honestly what did you expect? This was a day one avoid for me... the cringe was too strong.
It's a game specifically designed for Harry Potter fans, HP is a huge IP you know. As HP books are the best selling book series on the planet. A lot of non gamers picked this game just to "play with their wands". Hey but atleast it was not as cringe as, forsay, Forspoken.......
Oh and the characters here are not little girl and little boys, but mostly 15-16 year old teenagers. Also ur day one avoidance for this game did not stop it from generating like a billion dollar revenue.
@@RabiyaRavenclaw just because a game generates a lot of money doesn’t make it good also the game is dog sht and I’m a Harry Potter fan not sure why yall keep saying that excuse to defend this soulless wanna be Harry Potter theme trash
Playing the "Choosen One" plus the lore break of starting as a 5th year was enough to make me lose all interest
As a huge harry potter fan I was really excited, but I was so disappointed.The npc's were so annoying, the game was laggy, the main story was boring, the bossfight was boring.
You mean the plot is that you're the only one to save the world and there's a bad guy out to get you? No way! It totally doesn't sound like 7,500 other games out there.
Why do you think it needs to be different?
@Obi-Wan Kenobi because I don't like playing the same game or hearing the same story over and over again lol when the only difference is the setting and the cast, it gets pretty boring.
@@obi-wankenobi8446 my biggest issue with a lot of these types of stories is that they could have hired a team of writers to produce a captivating script given the source material, but they would rather look at what already was popular and simply re-make it.
The script of the characters is really cringe. I mark a merlin trial in the map and I literally flying directly to it, then the characters say "Oh ho! A Merlin trial!" like it's a surprise I got there.
Then I end the trial and the character say "Wasn't too difficult after all!". Well, ofcurse, there are 95 trials and 4 or 5 types of trial, it's just too repeptitive.
Same in Hogsmeade, I am walking inside the small town, then go out for a second and get back in, and my annoying charcter mumbles "Does it get any more cozy than Hogsmeade"...
They simply put text lines only for the sake of speaking to myself to keep my sanity...
Glad they fixed the Ignatia thing where she assumed she's my grandma saying what am I up to now...
I disagree about the battle system, after gazillion fights i just ignore enemies and go on with my life. And even that is bugged! I am stuck in a fight with a character I avoided and the game is getting back at me because of that, I can't open doors or get loot. Really annoying.
I give this game 3\10, I played till the end to see how it finishes and I can't even begin to explain my disappointment.
Thanks for the great video!
I made it to the 2 hour mark and refunded it. The performance on pc is appallingly bad, as is the dialogue. I grew up with the Harry Potter series when it was first released, so it has a special place in my heart. I was quite disappointed that the writers didn't seem to give shit about quality, or even vaguely interesting exchanges between characters. Within 15 minutes I was spamming the skip button.
I envy you, by the time I got through the intro it had been 2 hours cause I restarted to make a new character a few times..
100% agree with your, the missions and stories are boring and meaningless, every student is like a stranger after the mission is over, the whole game is just gorgeous pictures but empty content.
I'm getting insanely good at spotting this stuff before a game even releases and before ever needing to play it
i cant for the sake of it continue playing it. i love the potter universe and they do a great job making you feel that but everything this game does is beeing a giant fan service of nostalgia. just take the lessons for example. in the movies, when harry had a lesson for herbalism, they had this mandrake, protect your ears thing. guess what the game does... THE EXACT SAME THING. they cant even come up with something new, they copy paste whats in the movie and you re sitting there... ''i did this before even tho i never played it'' and even lore wise it makes no sense. harry had the mandrake lesson in his first year and we are 5th grade and learning all that basic stuff?
i am 15 hours into the game... and NOTHING!!! happened... like seriously nothing. i havent fought a single enemy or seen anything new or exiting. i m just running around the castle doing mundane tasks and spamming revelio every 5 seconds. nothing story wise happened either.
even hogwarts itself doesnt feel like hogwarts. its supposed to be a giant castle. remember how it looked in the movies? cold stone everywhere and staircases who change directions and all that? none of that is in the game. hogwarts feels like a giant museum with wood walls and music and marble floors and the staircases to all the different rooms arent there either but just a lame spiral staircase that just appears out of nowhere.
the game feels like a nice looking joke and i cant understand how people hype it up so much.
i love games, i love harry potter, i grew up with it when i got the first book as a kid on release and i allways wanted to be there myself and ...
i m bored to death... seriously? the lego harry potter games are more fun and engaging than this game, and it really reminds me of how good of an rpg games like the witcher3 or the mass effect series or skyrim were. i would replay those games for the 10th time over hogwarts legacy
Harry had the mandrake lesson in his second year, not first.
@@RustyShackleford oh yeah sry my bad, but this does not change much on the logic however
Hard to criticize this game without getting mixed in with the trolls. The game is good for Harry Potter fans, my gf says the story doesn't interest her at all but she likes the gameplay and the idea of attending classes to learn new spells.
I'm happy the game exists, it's not my cup of tea but it's definitely different from the other garbage getting launched out there.
Ngl the video uploader seems like a troll himself
@@obi-wankenobi8446 ah, General Kenobi.
@@Temporary_Friend it's the same garbage. Honestly the castle and Easter eggs are the only redeeming factors. But the gameplay. Come on. It just looks like a generic RPG. Jumping rolls and overly animated characters just looks so ridiculous. It's literally just a generic RPG which pays homage to HP. Games lack nuance these days. Hogwarts legacy sucks. I remember the leaks back in 2018 but I honestly dont even care for it now.
@@jr5993 It's a casual game, don't expect Dragon's Dogma level gameplay and maybe you won't be disappointed.

ubitrash with an awesome job of harry potter painting...sadly. was rly looking forward to this one.
Watched your 2 videos, I like your mindset looking at stuff and analyzing it.
Subbed, keep it up.
visually perfect game massive world but boring content. Learnt all these spells for what. Great video.
I’m a die hard potter fan AND a die hard RPG fan. That being said. This is a horseshit game.
It hardly registers as an RPG
Story so Unfinished, Logic-less, wierd it made the combat fun
there's so much the game can do in terms of potential for its sequal. so many *good* story lines it can explore. sadly, my ideas wont get anywhere beyond this comment section. Hopefully Avalanche and WB figure it out before its too late.
exactly ! not enough Harry Potter int this Harry Potter game
i went through the third "TRIALS" and it felt like i was exploring the same cave with a randomised setup
its like burning through arcade stages instead of progressing in a mysterious magic world , which it was supposed to be
im actually now going to play it for the graphics and some hopefully interesting moments knowing that 70% of it is going to be go from point A to point B kill same enemies and progress forward .
HEAT81 your vids are great. I was surprised to see you only uploaded 2, so far. Your editing is on point. Keep it up :) best new youtuber of 2023.
A $25 game sold for $70. Generic UE4 template.
Sure no bugs. Until you collect all 95 merlin trials, and your trophy doesn’t unlock because the game bugged and refused to count some of them.
Merlin trials are boring
You can skip most story dialogue with Triangle on PS4/PS5 or Y on Xbox. I think it's RMB for PC?
I just finished it and half way through after a challenge completion of 91% was totally bored to death. The rewards are not meaningful. Gear is not meaningful. Epic, Legendary... who cares you get so much of it. Combat is fun, atmosphere and design amazing but as you mentioned the story is wayyyy too linear. The absolut only thing that threw me offguard at 2 am was that crazy ghost and his shop challenge for your own shop. Masterful 😄 Beast side quest was the only interesting. Last boss fight super lame. Loved it at first but half way through i just list interest because nothing you do in the open world is meaningful. (e.g. what do you do with all your gold?) Thats my 2 cents.
I have $15k and im already lvl 39, bored out of my mind, 96% overall complete. I think we are supposed to buy buy the remaining "vendor" brooms with the gold and thats ...well thats it. :(
*And I add observations. But in short, all the problems come from imitating an RPG system for a theme that doesn't fit the genre, and creating fan service thinking that imitating the films is enough.*
1. The game appears optimized for mobile and the lighting system is problematic. It has a gray filter, nothing has color, you can barely see a red and green color tone and it always looks wet and cloudy. There is no reflection and the image is blurry.
2. The characterization of the young characters, from appearance to personality, would never represent the year 1800, or even 1900. The characterization even has blue and pink hair from generic RPGs, but the faces are standard and very similar, the characters have the same haircuts and 90% of women wear a bun.
3. The students at school are boring, and the dialogues are slow and full of repetition.
Most of the time there are students in the corridor but there is complete silence. Students generally don't walk around the school and those who can be interacted with do the same things every 5 seconds, like robots and clap like fools. No autonomous life like Red Dead Redemption or anything like that.
4. Many good settings from books and films do not exist, and even the famous staircase was completely destroyed in the game. To get to an important place you have to go through several empty, ugly corridors and without anything interesting.
5. The game's exploration is limited to a spell and there is no discovery and interaction because everything is marked with a very obvious symbol, different from the excellent exploration of the PS2 game (The Order of the Phoenix, 2007).
6. The "magic lessons" are a joke and very similar to the worst Harry Potter mobile game on the Play Store.
7. The story takes place more outside the castle than inside and the game looks more like a bad Tomb Raider than a fantasy game.
8. The combat system is generic like any modern and automatic MMORPG, where magic has no weight and not even good effects and sound design. It's all more of the same. You don't feel any satisfaction from doing any spells, because they are the same, and although some parts of the castle have various objects, you can't use the spells you know on it, like in Half-Blood Prince (PS2, 2009). Not to mention that when creating the game in an RPG system, the focus will not be on exploration, classes, spells, but combat. And that's why the game becomes absurdly violent and inappropriate when, in addition to always focusing on combat and even with forbidden spells, we remember that combat only happens in films in a strong way when the students are practically adults. The game has a childish tone in the silly sense, like combing animals, and on the other hand it has cruel deaths carried out by the protagonist himself. This is even indicative of our times.
9. The story is pathetic and convenient: the player knows everything, he is special, he is better than everyone, he is always in the right place, he is powerful and can overcome any challenge. He rides thestrals and even has a griffin in his bag. He starts in the 5th year without knowing how to make Wingardium Leviosa, but he defeats the villain in the end.
10. They could have used so many themes to create the conflict, such as a society of evil wizards, problems with other schools or members of them, the dangers of the Forbidden Forest. But they chose the worst of the worst options: armored and possessed goblins with the protection of robot armor in the best Assassin's Creed style. Worthy of a Wattpad fanfic story.
And of course, customers *must* have a portkey, a griffin escape flight, the vision of the thestrals, the room of requirement, the centaurs, the dragon, a blue vs. red magic fight scene, a copy of the friends of Harry and also a copy of the teachers and ghosts, plus bonus Fantastic Beasts stuff. Creativity 0.
In short: another fan service for the hall. Good video!
The environment was beautiful. The gameplay wasn’t bad. The main storyline was boring and sparse. The side quests were horribly written (mainly the Slytherin one). The challenges were tedious and get boring. Nothing you do really matters as it makes almost no difference in the game. There was no good character development that made you feel close to the characters. There was no morality system. There was no use for loot or money or (if you got the dlc ) shop because you can easily farm all the resources you need and never had to buy them. When I heard they spent a supposed 10 years on this game I was expecting a Harry Potter themed (very) mini Skyrim/BioWare hybrid with dynamic characters, cool loot and tons of beasts with the main focus on you being at school like a Harry Potter book. Instead we got something worse than the previous playstation Harry Potter games I played as a kid which were fun and super replay-able.
Yeah the end results made me wonder how they have actually spent this time. I do think it was a cash grab. I think creators do have this approach that no matter what they make it will still sell because of that Harry Potter trademark.
Bro if you did not say ✨This game is GOD TEIR ✨ the fans will kill you......
I said it wasn't that good. They trying to kill me now🗿
Lmao yeah, thats kinda funny how someones opinion on the inter can make some1 that angry
Umm nope I'm not trying to kill you. I'd just say that if it's not your type of game then don't play it 🤷🏻♂️
I wouldn't watch a horror movie then complain that it's not suitable for kids
@@obi-wankenobi8446 mr obi don't kill me plz 🗿+ its my type of games but it wasn't the best Or the worst
@@obi-wankenobi8446 what do you mean "type of game"? Action RPG with open world? There are a lot of those. People may enjoy the game, but some parts are bad and some are really decent. This "review" like most of HL reviews are made for people that play all types of games and just want to know if this game is worth playing in case they are not really interested in HP universe, as the game was not created only for franchise fans
@@obi-wankenobi8446 That's silly, is no one allowed to have an opinion anymore? I LOVE open world action RPG's, so this game is exactly my type of game - and I liked it overall but still think that it has issues with the writing, characters, animations, repetitive gameplay, lack of challenge, boring quests, etc. You can tell that the devs put in a lot of love and work into providing a great fan service but besides that, gameplay wise, the game is pretty bland when I compare to all the great open world games that came before.
i literaly had no idea 'bout existence of this game until, like, week before release
My gf just finished this game, and it was crazy how many similar remarks she had like me. Ohh you can't interact with tables in hall, you can't do anything in common room and she found room of requirement and collecting beasts boring as hell, troll again and again, spiders.. What is the name of the antagonist goblin again? She didn't like the story much, was little bit immersed with Sebastian and that's it. Combat was good, repetitive, but only good thing, because she was happy like little child playing it same like me and that is the strongest side that this game has. I was translating whole game to her from English to our native tongue carefully, and she wanted to hear it all, and I realized while translating that there isn't much to translate that is interesting. No story to explain more, it's just few sentences and that's it. I was adding stuff to make it cool and better. Really skinny story. Weightless.
The games feels same like forspoken
Puhlease this is a masterpiece compared to that that thing called a game
Most of the spells just levitate an enemy in one way or another.
i would have liked a bit more complexity and maybe a unique spell(s) based on the house you picked.
Maybe it's just me then, but I'm finding this game very boring. Personally I don't really like RPG style games these days. I prefer a shorter game like TLUO which has a very intimate and intense story and character development. RPGs just feel empty and lifeless for me these days.
Yes yes and yes. Finally this game has allowed me to understand what I like. Truly loved TLOU and GOW, and hated Horizon. Hogwarts has been a huge L.
@@MattyP650 funny I actually thought the exact same thing since playing this game. I guess it really is magic! Lol. I also loved GOW and couldn't finish Horizon. Most RPGs I don't finish properly actually.
The biggest problem I had with this game was how this world does not feel scary and ominous at all. You cannot just be running around the forbidden forest and kill anything and everything that appears in front of you. Even Hogwarts didn't feel right, because Hogwarts is itself a ominous and dangerous place. I didn't feel the urge to explore Hogwarts. Those long corridors and mysterious door ways, alleys, etc none of that felt right in this game. They just toned it down so much that it felt so video gamie with no curfew, no consequences for your actions, you don't live the life of a student in Hogwarts. It's like you were a product of nepotism who had the license to do anything he wants
At last something different hot takes of Hogwarts Legacy, Hogwarts legacy deserve the success but I agree its need improvement and I hoping they make original story using Harry Potter universe not reference of Harry Potter movie or book.
The creators didn't really know how to make Hogwarts Legacy a real RPG. They know that no matter what they do, anything with a Harry Potter trademark will sell. Copy-and-paste side quests also get boring. Playing the game actually makes me wonder how comes they have spent 6 years developing.
I was fucking STOKED my first 6 hours I just ran out did everything I could get my grubby hands on. Then I realized it’s just good not amazing like I thought at first. But I’d still recommend the game but the dark arts dlc isn’t all that worth it unless you fiend for trying to be an evil/gray character in your personal lore
Yesterday I played (and I use that term pretty loosely, killed time would be more accurate) Hogwarts Legacy for the first time since finishing it 10 months ago. I just assumed between last May and March 2024 that there would have been an update of SOME KIND to the game. Nada. Zilch. Zero. I walked around for about 30 minutes killing everything in sight, and doing a few Merlin's Trials before remembering how generally boring the game was and turning it off.
I know most of the developers of this game were new to the gaming world and as such were very protective of their first product especially with it being so successful but the stance of not adding ANY additional content and absolutley looking like no chance of a sequel almost make me feel like the attitude was, "We've made a wizarding world game for modern day consoles. Done! Now we can go back to making quizzes on Pottermore".
The story was boring as all get out and pretty convoluted and stupid, our main characters were given the personality of a piece of wood and while the exploration was fun while you had a campaign to get through, after it's all said and done when you walk around you just get this sense of loneliness and boredom. A nice feature would have been to have a travelling companion after the story was complete if you so chose to do that.
I know a lot of people, me included would have liked the idea of a Relationships feature in the game or in a sequel, but that would create a whole load of other things, and given the tone of Hogwarts Legacy I could hardly see it happening.
To some up, I adored the game the first 6 or so weeks of playing it but as I neared the end of the story and after completing it I just felt really empty, walking around doing Merlin's Trials and Side Quests that take no account that you've actually finished the story mean unless something crazy I won't be turning this game on ever again.
Summs up my feeling about this game 😪
Poppy's story line would have been cool if they did more with dragons. Like you could do a whole game based on that. Helping her stop an entire organization of dragon fighters, that'd be wicked!
Instead we save one dragon drop its egg off after it forgets it with us, makes it a bad mother in my opinion, should let me keep it in the room of requirement. I could learn to make wands using its... heartstrings....
That would be the other issue I have. The game is really preachy about how to treat animals and forces the pc to act in a given way so that poppy will be our friend. But I just used the cruciatus curse on a goblin and imperiod my friend ominos, but I draw the line at buffballs? I know most people behave like its worse to kick a dog than a baby but its really not. None of that is helped by the fact that I just shot the thing with galcius and stuffed it in a bag to imprisson, breed, and sell its children. Why I can sell endless puffskeins and not some horklump juice or freshly brewed wiggenweld in a time of war, I'll never know.
Other thing my man kind of mentioned in the video. This game has the same classic issue that most old games have. They want you to be able to jump on with a finished game profile and still run around and do all the same stuff. But I want a sense of progress. The area should feel safer for my having been there. Of course there should always be some other issue in places like the forbidden forest, but I feel like the grounds outside the castle should be free of goblins, gangsters, and poachers as I complete the relevent quests to make it so. Preferably each of the side quests (Natty for Gyffendor, Sebastian for Slytherin, Poppy for Hufflepuff, and I never really figured out who was ravenclaw, maye that's supposed to be the PC) as you finish them you should have a good ending and a bad ending. The good ending for each should see that villain type pushed off the map, maybe leave one camp or two somewhere so the player can still fight them if they want to (oh wait there are litterally battle arena's make those easier to find and your good, player can fight whatever he wants. Better yet, stuff the battle arena in the room of requirement thats what Harry uses it for right). Each bad ending should see us lose the friend from its questline (so ravenclaw will need someone for us to care about) possibly more than one. I can see multiple endings for sebastians quest line alone. We could have him kill his uncle and get sent off to ahzkaban as the primary bad ending or maybe we can be the one to object to using the relic and he turns on us forcing us to kill our own friend to save lives he put at risk. Then we could have good endings, one where he learns to put aside his selfish ambitions and accept the time he has with his sister. Another (difficult to accomplish option) could be that we figure out who cursed ann and are able to determine the curse and reverse it.
I really feel like my brother put it right when he said that Hogwarts Legacy feels half baked at every turn.
5.5/10 I found myself falling asleep multiple times. The dialogue was so long, boring, and frustrating. Bought a ps5 specifically for this game and I was disappointed, Luckily I'm having a blast playing other games.
I Uninstalled this pos lol
This game should have been made by rockstar
The game felt so shallow. Got bored in the intro when I had to talk to all the students for the first time. Just alt+f4’d and refunded. I got work in the morning and I wasted my night just walking and listening to boring dialog. I could’ve just watched a movie and saved the $65.
I was expecting an RPG, but just got an interactive movie. Not for me.
I really love this game, the visuals, the eastereggs and details in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and so on, the fighting system is fun and I will spend a lot of time decorating room of requirement. And I am not against some background information about the other Characters. Sure, some stuff is not interesting, but it adds to the Potterverse, like Nattys description of the African Wizard school or the Flight teacher and her story about the japanese school. Rowling is a bit slow when it comes to worldbuilding and so all those informations are great for a Potter-Fan :D
And Professor Black is not just there as a reference to Sirius, he was actually a headmaster of Hogwarts, he is mentioned in the books and one of the movies, so it does make sense that he is there
But Game of the Year or Masterpiece? Nah. The facial animations are so stupid sometimes, the sidequests are sometimes a bit dumb and there are def not enough interactions with other NPCs and Objects. If they work on these problems, then maybe it is GOTY Material
tbh it’s definitely not getting GOTY. Dead space or Jedi survivor are much more likely
@@mozzy1268Starfield spiderman 2 or Zelda Tears of Kingdom most likely...
Ain't no way Dead Space or Star Wars will have it
I don't think you can give GOTY to a game with such horrific voice acting.
lol no@@rijusnar1994
I don't bother with those side quests where it's like 'go to the cave and fight this acromantula as I need to recover a family heirloom'.
I'm halfway through and I cba to play more. It's withering me. Love the books so much and movies. But damn.
i have been trying to get into this game since the day of release,But still in 2024 a year later i have not been getting very far into the story n the story is really really boring(exept when its not)I like the classes in the school so that tells how little i like the game and i really really try to get into this game n would love to love it...
But still there is something that makes this game suck for me atleast(i have had more fun playing Arcania +venetica nad bound by flame and the game are far from the best ones out there+a bit old and dated!)
So why do i have a hard time to get into this game?
I really like how it looks n the open world(loved the very start of it,but it as fast as it happened intresting stuff it stoped n i got to the school to do almost boring stuff)
DLC??
is there comming any for this game at all? i hope if it does its a bit more action oriented for people like me that cant play slow boring games(i search the open world for enemies n monsters,but they are after a few hours no fun anymoore)
So have i played this game wrong for me not to like it? (I really would like to love it,but sadly no)
So why do people love this game so much???
I love games like Witcher 3+RDR2+Cyberpunk2077+ac origins and oddessy+Gears 5+far cry series and alot of other games..But i have to really be in the right mood to even launch this game n even then i have a hard time concentrating to have fun...the few stuff in it that are fun is over as soon it starts up)
Would have loved more story of the kind when at start i go to the town and the trolls attack for example or very start when dragon attacks+some other stuff)
So why,how to like this game if i really would like to ????? Any chans i will like it 30h in?Have i played game wrong or im i just 1 of the persons that dont like it so much???
Thanks 4 video
It’s very boring. It’s exactly like the movies. Waiting for something really awesome to happen but instead everyone is just throwing sparklers at each other.
wisuals and wisible killed me
The game is very beautiful. However, for one it is way too easy. Even on hard mode the combat required little skill. Puzzles could have been great but the character just blurts out the answer every time so there is little challenge there either. I was disappointed with the side quests, i was hoping for side quests with more lore in themselves that take a while to finish but they mostly just involve collecting something for someone and it takes 10 minutes. Disappointed in swimming as well. Missed opportunity for the ability to dive and swim with mer people in the black lake. Lore was overall underwhelming. Alohamora is just straight up dumb. I hate the fact that you can destroy clothing stats but still have the look kf it in your inventory and there are no chests for storage or anything? Progression comes too quickly and you learn all the spells way too fast. Very lazy that your character has no pronouns and everyone calls you they/them despite your choosing to be a witch or wizard. Idk it could have been so much better.
Yeah the game doesn't add lore to the characters we know and love, and made up a whole new cast that i don't give a sh1t for... an instant deal breaker for me.
I already knew it was going to be some lame roleplay
was uganda even a county in the 1800s
🙂
It's a lie it's not made for Harry Potter universe fans. I'm a huge fan I grew up reading every single book watching every movie playing every video game. But this game doesn't interest me whatsoever. It just seems bland and soulless. I don't want to go to class, that's dumb AF. No Quidditch, no harry Potter or his friends, I could go on and on this game does not interest me whatsoever and just seems bland 🤦🏿🤡
stopped playing, i just got too bored 😂
Thank you this is my thoughts exactly the dialogue is soooo boooorning!!!
I can see this channel grow extremely large in the future, and i would feel honored to say i was a subscriber since the beginning.
Thanks man, loved absolutely everything about your videos 🛴
Omg this game suck so much.. Im very disappointed , i played 1hour and 53 minutes and i refunded this trash. Map is huge and empty, only thing you will find is chests with crap loot not worth time..
@@victogenaa did u even do quests? but ye it gets boring after some time (for me 40 hours)
i dont care abt the harry potter movies never was a fan saw the trailers of this game thought it looked boring but after seeing it for only $46 on g2a i decided to buy it and i love this game its so much fun to me tried going back to watch the movies and still cant even get into the movies but still love the game but i respect your opinion
Only 46 like that's a good deal lol?
@@Gringo.the.Bratan for a $70 game the day it came out? Yea I’d say it is
it does call to snowflakes
Its supposed to be this hige rpg that lets you be good or evil theres no karma system no companions the spells are repetitive you cant cast on npcs i thought potion making eould be interactive why is there a joke shop if you cant buy anything there and wtf even is acient magic they never really explained it i mean i like the game but after waiting years for it and all the hype it was a huge letdown i feel like there was soooo much potential for a game like this i just hope they make a sequel thats a huge improvement
How are you optimistic for the sequel when they butchered the first game? The second one is going to be just as horrible.
@@RickJoystick i hope not
@@ryangaff8968 it sold really well. So i doubt they’ll change much about their “great” formula.
Im big fan Harry Potter movies and this world and i'm dreaming about this game i love this game but game is too short main story and side mission i finish 50 h and now its boring...
Tbh at first sight it just felt like the game was a complete cashgrab for Harry Potter fans ngl...and im nog a harry potter fan, the world building was decent but I found everything else so bor8ng
spoilers
A 5th year who just started should not be able to do kill thousands of dark wizards and the leader of both bad factions when harry potter was in his 5th year even after a ton of training from a secret organization in hogwarts he could only use a few spells to fend off death eaters but they could come back in 20 seconds. When harry saw voldemort he just threw harrys wand without touching it
I was soooo disappointed and fell for the marketing and hype.. unless u a super fan.. this game was above mid but not by much.. and pc performance is trash when using ray tracing still !!
Gay tracing makes it even worse in many areas
Red dead 2 does every single thing better in terms of game design than this game does.
Like pretty much all Rockstar games ;)
@@artxiomI don't really like Rockstar anymore, but 99% of their games are better than this lol
Hogwarts Legacy is a good direction for a Harry Potter game. A little more polish here and there will definitely make this game a masterpiece. The game lacks many things but I admit that I enjoyed playing it.
When playing this game on console you can tell it was designed for PC and has a terrific control scheme. As if the person designing it didn't ever play with a controller before
Nothing will surpass the masterpiece that is cruelty squad
To add on that Zenobia is such a sweetheart, she's a cute ravenclaw girl that has no friends and just wants to have fun I really think they should add more side quest and relationship building in this game, I know she's an NPC but I felt really bad for her 💔
Repetitive, Repetitive, revelio,repulso
The game is so lame, dude I was finished with literally every quest after 30 hours
It's a 3 out of 10. If this game came out in 2013 I might've liked it. Bannerlord 2 is more interesting 😂
Ay where's everyone else
They're sleeping
If you had liked it and it had been perfect in your eyes nobody else would've, cause you obviously have bad taste if you dislike the game
That game is just boring and shallow shit.
its 7/10 but it doesnt matter if youre harry potter fan. What a feeling to see everything youve always wanted.
Lol still a vastly inferior game to actual heavy hitters.
Weekend Warrior?
This nails it.. 24 hrs in and this just nails it. meh. I wanted to like it, but its a memberberry simulator written by people who have zero concept of interesting storytelling, let alone charackter development. Its a shame, the assets and some gameplay mechanics as well as the athmosphere are really good. But theres too much of a "skip", "skip" feeling to it now to acutally want to finish it.
Also why do all these games feel like slow walking simulators, more interested in stealing my time instead of giving me a great or memoriable expirience? Everything became so generic, or i just got too old for this crap. dunno.
