wow this looks FAR better than any of the footage they have released prior to release. how rare that is these days.
Looks like the delays were worth it
I’d prefer it that way honestly. It’s how it used to be. Games used to surpass the expectations. They did the less is more with trailers and gameplay footage. Now they give away entire plot points in the trailer……
@@jakethesneakergeek267 No kidding. I almost forgot what it was like to have a game pleasantly surprise me.
It's just Far Cry dude. Like really, why are we in a Harry Potter game just running around the woods fighting random monsters and taking down bandit camps?
@@sarahnade8663is this a real question?
From a developer that was known for Disney games like Toy Story, Disney’s Cars, and Disney Infinity…. This is a MASSIVE LEAP forward!! Props to Avalanche Studios!!
They also worked on Mad Max, which is underrated IMO
Ooo I did like the cars game though , I was very little though
@Finesso never said it didn’t, I’m just stating that low sale games that most average gamers don’t play. Just Cause is known to be amazing
@@Sabarishnagappan That’s a different Avalanche

I'd like to apologise, skipped to your "buy", "Wait", "avoid" conclusion as I didn't want to spoil anything .... so glad you enjoyed this! 50+ hr game too was a surprise!
Man, I was late to the party but I'm playing *"Iron Lung"* it's a epic short horror game. Very intense
Been a Patron for years Karak.
Keep on bringing the agile commentary game brother. 🎮
Loving the "Pro" and "Con" annotations. It's the little things.
blurring the text to avoid spoilers is amazing. thank you. subbed
I was so scared this game would be too ambitious and a complete disaster, but seeing such a trustworthy source like this give an overwhelmingly positive review just made me so incredibly happy. Thank you ACG for your efforts in putting this review together! You provided a ton of relevant information without spoiling anything.
me too. Party at Hogwarts tonight at midnight🤣🤣🤣🤙🤙
Fax I instantly picked it up after this review jus got deluxe edition for my steam deck gonna watch the movies while playing see you guys at midnight
Hogwarts juices are flowing hard everywhere these days.
@@jcassidy900 same I really hope it runs well on the steam deck
@@hethen5846 yea me 2...was in the rsteamdeck forum they was saying it ran ok but 9/10 valve will release a proton update for it should be easy to get deck verified lolz I hope
The opening scene/mission with the thestrals showed me the care involved in making the game while simultaneously making me feel like I was on a mission with dumbledore
I literally yelled "Oh my god he's dead because I can see them now" I was instantly hooked
@@henloitsdiego Such a great detail!
Comparing the open world to a mullet was absolute poetry.
It really is too
@@ACGreviews crap like this is why you are my favorite reviewer. Ever
@@ACGreviews How you come up with the metaphors and similes that you do is masterful use of imagination and the English language.
Im so happy this game seems well made and get favorable reviews. Just for the sanity of devs.
Definitely one of the games of all time
@@Voldemorts.Nipple dead meme bro it’s 2023
The devs deserve this game to blow up after the insanity levelled against them from the Trans community.
@@Voldemorts.Nipple just stop this annoying shit.
@@SonOfExcess crazy thing is that Rowlings comments aren’t even extreme. She just said biological women are well… women and that men competing against women in the same sport is unfair. That’s literally common sense but it’s the 21st century so even facts offend it seems.
Definitely the biggest surprise was the combat and it being actually fairly challenging
I REALLY like that the difficulties aren't just health increases and are literally just better AI with more interesting encounters
Seeing how mobs that can WILL try to flank and use different approches. Like the armors, some will Leap, others will approach and then some will hang back and throw their weapons. Most games would just have them lumber towards you as you circle strafe them
This is all good design and programming. For example, check out how enemies aggro towards a player and have a set path in games like soulsborne or Bethesda RPGs. Like the comment above me said, enemies will just lumber aimlessly at you with barely any tactics. The moveset can vary, but that's usually all.
ok
As opposed to figuretively so?
It's actually not, it's REALLY easy, even on hard mode. It IS entertaining. That is why modders have made harder modes.
I just can't express how great it is that you cover sound. So many reviewers don't even consider tackling it. Not everyone has an ear for sound, but its such an important part of a game.
You new here?
@@willbearheart1356 if you're not new, you better not compliment someone's style..
@@netwatch7261 What are you on about?
@@willbearheart1356 hey grumpy kid, perhaps complimenting ACG can still be done whether you are a new or 'veteran' watcher. Get out
@@NeThZOR You sure are overly sensitive. And apparently you blow things way out of proportion. Your lack of discipline is shining through, so maybe get a grip.
These DEVS and creators deserve so much credit for actually delivering on what so many of us have wanted. Such a small name too!!
True. Makes me feel like a 9y.o. playing Chamber of Secrets for the first time again.
@@Baronnax FeelsGladMan
Agreed 100% and all the bullshit they been dealing with because the left absolutely hates jk Rowling because she said one thing. Men are men and women are women biologically. That's what she said and it's true biologically. With all the political b.s. they absolutely deserved to win and I hope they do
Huh, I thought it was made by avalanche studios, but apparently there's a difference.
Well it is usually the unknown devs that give us great games
The game is incredible. They truly made the wizarding game that fans of the series dreamt of as they experienced it as a kid. I'm not the biggest hp fan, but this game is truly special
You could have this on the hardest difficulty and still breeze through this game while whacking off. They made it so their sped fanbase could play with no issue. 💀
@@homelander2243 just say you didn’t enjoy it and be on your way. easy =/= bad, i haven’t struggled with the combat at all and yeah it is pretty easy when you’ve played a lot of other games but this is still an amazing game with a great story, fleshed out open world and countless activities to dive into. combat isn’t everything.
@@genxr1141 nah. Not having any difficulty ruins games. Most of this fanbase might want to feel like 5 yr olds smashing toys together slobbering all over yourselves as you go “i win!” But regular people do not. Easy=bad
@@homelander2243 just say you haven't played it and you just heard that from another person.
@@dienekesn9312 just admit you threw your money in a fire. Had it free day 1
Feeling very relieved that this game seems to be getting great reviews. One of those games that I was hesitant about getting excited over until people actually got their hands on the finished product
What scared me was how little they showed of the story and that it somehow is getting a Switch port.
Cyberpunk also got great reviews before release..
@@bambinosto what do you mean somehow? plenty of big games are on the switch. Grow up
@@craigtrish2011 lmao
@@DonDadda45 reviewers couldn’t use their own footage it’s a completely different scenario
Harry Potter isn't my thing but this game has looked solid since I saw screens for it. I'm not surprised it's a good game and getting 50 hrs out of it is impressive.
Same here. I'm not the biggest fan of HP (although I've seen all the movies) but this game just looks too good to not play.
Same. I will try as it has a little Witcher vibe to it, I think.
@@disarray8244 The movies are kinda mid, the first three were good but the other ones butchered a lot of things, you could read the books, you will enjoy it far far more
Actually you guys might want to try entertainment not specifically aimed at young children.
Same here
I disagree with "new" feeling. After few hours and initial amazement, game bored me to death with it's FarCry esque collectibles and meaningles sidequests, while also locking some content behind chores. Really, combat gets repetetive, there is nothing meaningful that unlocks it further, you just have your spells that you already have (except forbidden ones) within few hours, and that is all. Enemies don't pose greater threat, unblockables are easy to dodge, parry is too OP - especially when specced into. As much as I like depiction of HP world in this title, it's far from being higher than 7/10.
Blurring potential spoilers is always such an appreciated move. Great review!

ACG dropping consistent quality reviews. The game I dreamed of as a kid is finally here. Happy week for many, I’m sure
ok
This review alone just made my year. The only review I need to know that I won't be disappointed in the game I've always wanted.
Sad CyberPunk 2077 in 2020 and Battlefield 2042 in 2021 noises.
I never waited for a game in my life, except this one. All the other games just released and they were amazing. This is the first time I want it to be amazing. The 2 year delay actually make sense now.
@@ExtremeMeinung BF 2042 is finally good now. It was bad for far too long but they finally fixed it up
@@suddenimpulse030 its still bad, just not as bad
Is this review AI generated? ) It sure seems like that)
Imagine if combat worked this way in Harry Potter movies, people getting juggled and thrown around (or smashed multiple times on the ground) and Harry knowing more than 3 spells throughout all his education
53 hours, game complete. Its amazing. Buy it. Ignore the blue haired screeching.
Did you play on pc or?
I love that you include your time played in these reviews. That’s a big help - especially for an open world game. Hearing that it still felt fresh after that amount of time is a huge Pro on my list.
That's one of best features on Xbox Game Pass on PC. It shows you the average completion time, the average longplay completion time and the average 100% playtime.
ok
The visual style is justified and pleasant enough for an openworld scale.
I think a great idea for a sequel would be adding a sort of mass effect style party system where you can have two of your homies following you around, who have different strengths and weaknesses, and you choose who to bring along based on what you're expecting to run into, or just who you would like to have along because they're a fun/interesting character.
"Can we talk later? I have to do some calibrations on my broom."
This would allow so many options for character stories.
Wow.
Like a proper game. O_O
What the heck.
@@zjoee Garrus 😆
Could be dlc down the line
This is a great idea!
I have to say, I really like the number values for damage are digestible, so to speak. I get the Vegas-style glam for every one-hit skeleton in Vampire Survivors being worth 3 billion points, but just seeing the number "6" pop up for a direct wand hit in this video honestly hit just right; when another hit shows "30," it does feel that much more clear how significant it is.
I believe that if the lowest damage amount in your game isn't 1, you should divide all the numbers by a common denumerator until it is.
I agree! I always enjoy smaller numbers for that reason. After like 10k it just doesn't have the same impact.
Early Borderlands 3 was like this too, then I was seeing 1M per punch from Amara and it barely dented the enemy’s health bar which slowly killed all motivation to go on.
This is one of my favourite parts of the earlier RPG-based Paper Mario games too. Large numbers used just for flashy-ness negatively impact the user experience
This is how the Dragon Quest series has always approached damage values, and it's appreciated.
The power that ACG has over all of my video game purchases should be studied by psychologists.
Lmao Gotta become an independent thinker man before he recommends something you end up hating.
Richard Perloff dynamics of persuasion has the answers you seek my friend
Acg didn’t mention the penalty of $10 launch date for people that don’t pay more. This alone this beyond 💩 practice by publishers should never be supported and made a standard
@@DV-ou1yu issa joke lol
@Chris Anderson I have as a result become the joke 🤣🤣🤣
I did not get this a year ago when it came out because I thought it was a Harry Potter game, and I'm not a Harry Potter fan. I feel like maybe they'd have gotten a bigger audience if they'd made it a lot more clear in the ads that this is definitely NOT a Harry Potter game. Even some of the other reviews I've read/watched refer to it as a Harry Potter game, which I find irritating.
I'm glad I waited a year and got it on sale. It's half price, fully patched, and there are guides for everything anyone might want to do. And I was surprised how quickly I adapted to combat; it feels a lot like a blend of Spider-Man and playing as a mage in Dragon Age Inquisition. I love both those games, so this is a compliment.
You and SkillUp are my most trusted opinions online and If at least one of you is really into a game, I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy it. If you're both really into it, even better! But just hearing your reaction alone lets me know that this is the game I hope it would be and looking forward to diving in.
OMG same! Its funny too cause sometimes there is a game where both of their reviews are complete opposites but that kinda shows that these reviews are honest because you know that different experiences and feelings towards the game will happen and it helps to see both sides
I've had my issues with SkillUp lately. Guy seems to be being influenced and delving more into the politics of things.
@@MasterJangleLeg he loves destiny. That’s all that’s needed to be said. He’s a jackass
Skillup is a bot at video game. Can't take him seriously
@@belladonnasbat5816lol I guess
Man it looks amazing. The detail in this game is really impressive.
It look like 2012 graphics. Even Witcher 3 which was released almost 8 years ago had superior graphics and details than this one.

About 18 hours in, and im absolutely loving it. As someone who has always enjoyed Harry Potter, the little touches/easter eggs are really good.

So I should get it?
@@matguimond92 nothing wrong with that, better than dragging a game out and getting bored
@@markhowell9440 Elden Ring goes on for hundreds of hours didn't see anyone complaining about getting bored over that.
@@matguimond92 so every game needs to be 100s of hours long then? Some games work being that length, this one wouldn't.
Thanks ACG, I really appreciate having a reviewer that I trust. You’ve never done me wrong!
Karrak.... doesn't it just feel good to have a major video game release and just be what it says on the tin for once? And to come from a lesser-known, lesser pedigree developer and see them produce such an artful and well-executed labor of love and just give it to the world like, "We think this is pretty cool, we'd love for you to enjoy it." Feels good, man. Thanks always for the detailed and insightful/thoughtful review as always. (Sorry if I spelled your name wrong, was from memory lol.)
Especially so soon after garbage like Forspoken lol
Karak the fact you blur the text to not spoil the game it's what differentiates you from the rest 👏
Sir. you should have way more subscribers!
it's been like 10yrs, since I've always waited for your reviews, if I'm not too sure about a game.
The level of commitment paired with your impartiality (meaning that even if the vast majority of the other channels will please a bad game, you won't betray your viewers), when it comes down to any of your game's analysis, it's what kept me coming back to this channel, like a moth to a flame. Respect!
Its really nice seeing the damage numbers so simple and not 23,456,000
Only Disgaea and mobile rpgs do that kind of damage though.
@@RaifSeverence Latest assassins creed games had big numbers.
So glad this game turned out great. The devs did an excellent job with this and it's fantastic to see JK Rowling's world envisioned like this. Thanks as always for the thorough review.
Wow. A ultra-hyped game that's not a let-down? Color me surprised! Good job Hogwarts Legacy Devs and company!
It is a let down lmfao. They sponsored is why they're acting like this. Hince how they got it early

I couldnt have been happier when i saw a notification from my most trusted reviewer! Thanks for all the great work that you do. Super excited for this one!
Just wanted to say thank you for reviewing the game based on the merits of the game and not on the bullshit social commentary surrounding the game. You're the best.
Not a fan of Harry Potter but good on the devs delivering a solid experience that fans have wanted for ages.
Are you still looking to buy it even though you aren’t a fan? I’ve been wondering if people outside of the Harry Potter fandom will jump on this game.
@@vintageoriginallegit I would have to see extensive full plays honestly. I've jumped onto games I wasn't a fan of due to content creators, fallout, tes and xcom for example. So if the game looks good and runs well on pc then I don't see why people wouldn't give it a chance even if they aren't fans. Especially if it's on game pass
@@vintageoriginallegit i am i know next to nothing about hp but im interested so i got the game
@@vintageoriginallegit i'm personally not a fan of harry potter but i think the game looks pretty cool! Probably won't get it day one or anything but maybe wait until it's half off👍
@@vintageoriginallegit yea imma buy it even tho I don’t know nothing about Harry Potter
I'm shocked by how good this looks. I really thought I was going to hold it against them leaving Quidditch out.
I'm so happy to hear the actual gameplay mechanics are considered top notch by all reviewers.
I actually burst out laughing at the "you get to walk with the exaggerated swagger of a Hogwarts student" 🤣🤣🤣
Great review as always, but that caught me off guard 😂
Amazing joke, definitely flew over some heads that aren't all-time gamers. Good stuff
Gaming journos at their...finest? Worst? Still not sure yet.
I come to this video that was uploaded 14 minutes ago. This video is roughly 23 minutes long. And I already see 21 dislikes. Are some people just going on the video, clicking dislike and leaving? I really shouldn't be surprised anymore.
How are you seeing dislikes?
@@willbearheart1356 It's a chrome extension. TH-cam removed it for everyone else because reasons but some people like seeing the dislike count (like me) so people "fixed" it.
@@justinrazon7200 ah alright, I see. Shame you can't get it on the app.
This is a wonderful review. You have really refined your review style lately to provide lots of information, getting your point across while being entertaining, precise and relatively concise (for a 20+ minute video). I can tell this video and script were well edited and I appreciate it! Thank you,

@@jarlwhiterun7478 yep thats what i meant, thanks!
That's also what I noticed. The lack of companionship. The best possible way I can describe this is that I felt like I had no friends. Like a freelance classmate doing some stuff for people and getting a reward for it.
Anyways, let's talk about the game. Felt quite similar tbh.
@GiRayne How are the ethics around this game complicated?
@GiRayne How many Harvey Weinstein produced movies do you still watch?
@GiRayne Come on…🙄
Can anybody confirm which, if any, HUD elements can be switched off? Cant remember the last time I even looked at a minimap in a game. I dont need the clutter bottom right either once I've learned the controls, and I really dont like highlighted enemies, and numbers flying off them every hit. First thing i do whenever playing a new Ubisoft game, is switch all these elements off for a more immersive experience. Hopefully these devs have given us similar HUD customisation.
The mini map definitely can be removed, It's how I play it. Idk about the spells though.
@@CityBoi954 Chedrs Zigzag. 👊
This is the best review of this game so far by a lot. Such great detail and explanations.
50 hours into it? You rock man. Thanks for the overview, this game has gradually gone from something I had next to no interest in to one of my more anticipated titles of the year... looking forward to hopping in this week!
You forgot to mention how at the end Harry Potter runs in and says "Wow this really was a Hogwarts Legacy"
Ahh, how refreshing to hear this in this age of video games! Thank you, sir.
It's hard to keep excitement for games going when the expectations devs present us with never come to fruition. This video was a great way to start my day.
No one is talking about Avalanche Software and their shaky history with games. This developer was actually shut down in 2016 until WB bought them and re-opened the studio.
Look at what they were able to produce with this game. It’s actually pretty incredible to see and I’m happy WB isn’t trying to pull another “Shadow of War.” If you know, you know.
The Just Cause games were pretty good overall. Mad Max was stellar. So, I'm not surprised the game is good, but I am surprised at how good. They definitely stepped up their game here.
@@bofett74 You’re thinking of Avalanche Studios, they’re the ones who made Mad Max, Just Cause, etc.
The developers behind Hogwarts is Avalanche Software, they developed the Disney Infinity games, and really not much else.
@@SGlenn97 Oh wow. All this time, I've been dumb. Thanks for the clarity. Cheers.
The FOV scares me, I'll play on PC but nowadays a narrow FoV happens way too often, especially in crappy ports, FoV setting is a must in all video games.
The world building and design is simply stunning!! Not even an Harry Potter fan but this looks great in gameplay and graphical wise. **Hats off**
Let’s hope that visual brilliance maintains during the performance mode(60fps).
Same, early videos the graphics looked average, but this review just dispelled that, it looks stunning and the world looks amazing to explore.
Graphics look dated
@@tel7625 Yeah same here, good to see an improvement instead of further downgrading the whole thing. Only thing that missed the mark are some faces but yeah i can live with that :)
This might be one of the few games that I play in 4K mode rather than performance. I just really want to be immersed and catch the beauty of it.
Moving the audio samples to the end of the video has been such a nice change. Thanks for the years of quality reviews!
Your reviews are the best of the best. Love the details. Thank you ACG!
Never was a Potter fan, but this just seems like a pinnacle of gaming, wizard sim, world building and exploration a cool huge castle. Cant wait to play it tomorrow!
Id recommend watching all the films and trying your darnedest to become a fan, promise you the game hits way harder if your invested in the world. Everyone is like oh wow while we’re all like OH WOW!
@@omgIoIwtf so you recommend watching the series before playing it yes?
@@denizserin9446 Tbh I don't think there is much you're missing out if you skip all that (like for the story of the game, the Harry Potter content is very enjoyable) because Hogwarts Legacy takes place over 100 years before the mainstream stuff.
Please research Jk, rolling as a person before supporting anything that gives her money.
@@Waspinmymind if it was something illegal the game wouldn’t be published, I am not interested what jk Rowling did. You support numerous harmful people or organizations by buying things. By doing what you say I won’t be able to buy anything
I'm so glad this is good. We've been desperately grasping for a fantastic Harry Potter gaming experience for 2 decades now and it seems to have finally arrived.
@CyberHarleySamuraiRealiti no1 cares cry more
@CyberHarleySamuraiRealiti cry harder
@CyberHarleySamuraiRealiti Cus I'm sure that's explicitly worse than buying products from companies that bankroll human rights violations like child labor, forced labor, criminally low income, sexual abuse in the workplace, etc. on top of putting more money in billionaires pockets so they can continue to live hedonistic lifestyles and pay off officials to give them advantages over small business owners which they don't need, just want for extra bonus money. Gotta collect all dem yachts while funding essential slavery in other parts of the world. So yeah, lets feel guilty about buying a game where some of the profits go to some author in royalties whose opinions you find distasteful and abhorrent.
@CyberHarleySamuraiRealiti m8 we live in a capitalist society. give it up and just play the game.

Damn. This is way above what I expected. Glad to hear it's well worth getting right away. Thank you for the review ACG. Nowadays if there is one reviewer I can trust it's you.
I trust him and Skill Up, that's about it
honestly expected it to be boring but this sounds interesting.
@The Boulder takes issue with that comment those are the two that I trust. I USED to try and watch AngryJoe, but he doesn't really do game reviews anymore.
@@ThwipThwipBoom I'm up and down with Skill up, but that's why I watch a number of reviewers to get the full picture. If you just watch one, you only see their perspective. If you always share the same opinion with them, then that's great! I personally like to hear from multiple sources first.
Misspelled G Fuel Joe. Lol
I hope that this game serves as a foundation for later games for the franchise.

I'm a developer and i know how hard it is to make a game like this.. So happy for the team, congrats !
Im a janitor for a developers office, and you just said what was on my mind. Congrats 👏🎉
what do you think about the empty open world trend?
basically, make copy paste of same quest
Make map showing task list of what to do-> player are doing trask , no longer immersion of enjoying exploring game
copy paste npc, content and quest-? how do you feel ?
Yea definitely can see how hard it is to develop an awesome game like this! There is an incredible amount of animations from even the tiniest details! This game looks 👀 CPU intensive, and I am shocked that this game is cross Gen! Can’t imagine how the PS4 and Xbox One version performance runs.
When I get my PS5 I will get God of War and This game nuff said👍
Iam a family member of a janitor for a developers office and this really hit home, congrats 🥳
Why did you put a token trans? Either do it right or don't do it
Alright now I want to see these developers take on “The Lord of the Rings”
This is great. Honestly impressed with Avalanche Software because they’re a studio with nothing close to this scale under their belt. Good job devs.
@@Holy_Discourses Different developer. Avalanche software and avalanche studios aren't the same. Software made Legacy and a bunch of movie tie-in games, most of which weren't very good. The one you're thinking of is studios.
@@JordanIdk yea i added software now to avoid confusion for some people haha
Boycotters are gonna be pissed. Sounds like not only will it sell extremely well but is also a great game.

Trust me they’re a lot of crazies out there nowadays. I wish it was only five but that would mean we live in a normal world.
Strange times we are living in, Gamespot is giving honest reviews and independent youtubers are the one's ignoring and barely mentioning glaring issues.
Strange times indeed. It feels like the game is stuck between angry woke mob and fanboys who ignore many obvious problems. Many people somehow struggle to do a review where they objectively analyze the game. I am sure I know how people felt playing this game. I felt that "magic" too in the first hours. Devs certainly did a solid job but this is not pinnacle of gaming. Maybe because it's very popular IP it attracted a lot of normies who haven't seen a good game in their whole life.
Comprehensive, Consistent & Clever.
This is why I listen to ACG reviews over major publications.
Keep up the incredible work 😎
This isn't really a complaint, just something I'd like to see - I'm trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible as I am hyped for this, would you consider flashing a summary of the pros and cons near the end of the video and putting a timestamp there? You're one of the most trustworthy reviewers out there, and I'm looking for your quick thoughts while trying to expose myself to little about the game as I can, ha
I'm at a point where I just need your opinions on a game before I decide to buy or not, no other reviews tell it like you do! Thanks for helping me get excited enough to pre-order Legacy.
I've been very skeptical about this game but I'm glad the devs seemingly managed to pull it off.
“Muggledown Snickerdoodl” 😁
I was a little worried about getting cyberpunked, everything seemed too good to be true with this release, so glad it lives up to expectation 🙏
I would expect a cyberpunk situation from starfield more than from this. Usually when there are a LOT of buzz words surrounding promotion like with destiny 1 you can bet it will be an underwhelming release but I didn't get that vibe from this game.
@@devonjames7999 I think starfield will be fine, definitely not like cyberpunk because there is talk from people who’ve played starfield are raving about it but we shall see
@Bodacious117 I really hope starfield is fine but with all of this 30 fps nonsense who knows what else they had to compromise so this game can be as expansive as they want it and can generally function as a game should. Compared to how big starfield is supposed to be , is Hogwarts is tightly put together (not saying it's bad or anything).
ACG and Mortismal gaming are the only two reviewers I have 100% faith in. Glad I pre-ordered this game.
Is Cyber Punk 2077 developers paying attention 🤔
Karak going into the game, doing the hard work of going through all of the up and downsides.
Me rolling on the floor because the character is named muggletown snickerdoodle.
"The mullet of open world games." Classic line!
As someone who rarely buys games at full price anymore but is a big Wizarding World fan, this is the review I was waiting on before pulling the purchase trigger. Yet another great review from ACG.
Yes I'm planning to buy this game with my very first paycheck 😂
AYYYEEEE CONGRATS ON THE NEW EMPLOYMENT! I hope you actually like what you do and are kept in good spirits!
@@devonjames7999 I don't like it but it's only temporary so I can bare it 👍🏻
Congrats, that's a big milestone, and I'm happy for you. It's important to spend it on something fun, and make a good memory of it!
The only thing I personally don't need is frame stuttering, crushes, bugs and an empty non interactive world. Please let us enjoy this game, I'm beginning you 🙏, Don't let us down like others did.
It's good enough that it offers a lot of activities showed in the films, so the fan of the franchise can immerse themselves from the world of HP, which the OG HP titles in PS1 and PS2 did w/ platforming and puzzle solving. Like mandrake and spell class, and quidditch.
...but can you fly a car while outrunning a train?
There is no quidditch, according to the devs.
@@willbearheart1356 gad dang it
@@PikaLink91 sadly it deviates from the narrative of Harry himself. Since you can use gryphons to fast travel hope so lol
After watching this review and then seeing that Wired gave it 1/10, I can’t help but feel they have an agenda. Appreciate the honest review here.
I’ve never seen a Harry Potter film nor read one of the books but Fark Me this game looks amazing! I brought a Series S Just too play Starfield in the future. Come payday I’m gonna have to break the news to my wife & kids that I’m a wizard now & I need some alone time
You're #6 on trending right now, and with the hard work that has gone into every review I have seen on your channel. I can see why. Congratulations!
Thank goodness theres a review that isn't bogged down by the issues surrounding the IP. Great review of the game.
Yeah the whole Rowling being a transphobe and the goblins being incredibly antisemitic is a real drag. Personally I'm waiting til Rowling takes her organized mind on the next great adventure to play it because I can't personally justify letting her have a single red cent of my money, what with the racist tropes about native americans not having wands and needing to be civilized by European wizards and the fact she gave the Tories a million pounds to help defeat Scottish Independence because she didn't want her castles taxed, but if you just want to live out a childhood fantasy, I'm not gonna judge you too harshly for it. I just personally need to wait.
As an outsider who hasn't read the books since Goblet of Fire, this looks like a dream game for those fans of the franchise.
As someone who plays game looking in, it looks like a mix of Forspoken with less cringe and classic Bioware/Bethesda-isms. Can't say I'm terribly interested but it doesn't look like a bad game honestly. It's just a game focused on fans and that I can appreciate because there is not enough of that.
This game has no business to be this good, I'm not even a HP fan and this turned me on to the lore and fantasy.
This is a great example of why your reviews are my go to when it comes to deciding on a game. No bs, just the game and how it is presented
It's the opposite for me. This game was dry af. The first few hours were decent and then it just stagnates and lacks any bit of an rpg mechanic with like 5 bland enemy types and a filler episode story.
The only part that disappointed me was I couldn’t actually become evil and join the bad boys.
ACG has the most based review. I almost always get the game when he said to buy and almost never regretted it.
For a non-Potter fan ( did read all the books, never finished the movie, and maybe got to the 4th or 5th movie I think), this game seems like it's worth getting.
Fuck the boycott, I am getting it.
I am so happy crazies could not make a boycot out of this.
It made people preorder it even more
I think it's funny that a 1-2 second pause to open the doors leading outside is a con when it's obviously loading. That kind of a loading screen/time 10 years ago would've been amazing.
ACG is one of THE best reviewers on the platform without a doubt, especially when you're skeptical about buying games because you either have a budget or have to save up in order to buy new releases
True. I mostly rely on him and SkillUp to gauge whether or not a game is worth my time and money. Honest, no bullshit, to the point, and no inane numeric rating system but a clear-cut, simple recommendation.
Generally I go to ACG when I’m not sure about a game because the reviews are really well rounded.
One thing I was worried about is that you spend most of the game killing enemies and you end up being more of a mass killer instead of a hogwarts student
