“This is a very enjoyable open world Harry Potter game. I do wish it was a bit more immersive in the day-to-day aspects, like attending classes, but it's still very good. I really hope the sequel implements multiple…”
“Exploration as the heart of the game Hogwarts Legacy's greatest strength is the freedom of exploration. After 27 hours, it is clear that the game world has been carefully thought out - from the corridors of Hogwarts to…”
“A really good open world game with side quests that, for a change, arent just mindless fetch quests or boring collection tasks. In case anyones wondering whether you can play the game without being a harry potter fan: I…”

“Amazing recreation of the castle. But the game itself ranges from impressively mid to an outright slog. I can't recommend this one in good conscience.”
“Game looks great but i cant get passed the performance issues, the stuttering is horrendous, i have a decent pc with a 5060ti16gb and a ryzen 5600 and have spent the better part of 3 hours trying to fix the unplayable…”
“It's a dream come true for Harry Potter fans. The world feels very authentic to both the books and movies. Visually it's just great, world details are mastercrafted. The castle, Hogsmeade, Forbidden forest and every…”

“Hogwarts Legacy is a dream come true for every fan It offers a solid story breathtaking visuals and a world that truly feels alive Exploring the castle and the highlands is pure magic”
“Player gets literally no choices in the game. Every dialogue option boils down to > Politely accept the quest > Be rude with no consequences or reason to > Ask a question (this will loop back to the dialogue option when…”
“Game is more adequate for younger players, which is expected considering the theme, but it gives many hours of gameplay and interesting story. Graphics is nice, world is big for exploration and story is consistent with…”

“Relaxing yet engaging gameplay, I thoroughly enjoyed every hour with Hogwarts Legacy. The combat system is unique yet intuitive; has a slight learning curve yet once familiar you can reach a flow-state while finding…”

“This game feels like you're watching/playing a Harry Potter movie. There's over 100 hours of game play that fully immerse you into the wizarding world in the 1800s. I had so much fun playing the different houses,…”

“Fun but growing up with the Chamber of Secrets and other Harry Potter games i expected more...the best part is that you can be a Slytherin for the first time...you can cast Avada Kedavra in front of everyone and no one…”
“fun game! my first "harry potter" game but i think this one was done right it beautiful the castle feels like your attending hogwarts. its a little lacking in the open world genre ( i wish the forbidden forest was far…”
“This game feels like it was made by Ubisoft. Its decent if you are a Harry Potter fan but don't expect any depth. It's worth a play but very forgettable. Buy on sale. (PS: Getting all achievements for this game is a…”

“Well well well.... Here I am late to the Review party. Mind you I don't look up much if any information about games if I can help it, besides mechanics. I like to go in blind with my own expectations. I gotta say, so…”
“I really wanted to like this game, and I will admit the combat system was fun for a while, but the overall game is a shallow, uninspired, and repetitive waste of time.”

“+ I loved the gameplay and combat. The game world is beautifully created, it shows. - Story is pretty subpar. Character development leaves a lot to be desired. For example, you don't care much about the final boss since…”
“It's a mediocre game. Graphics looks good. Combat is boring. And moving around the world is tedious. But Hogwarts Castle is what I imagined when I was reading the Harry Potter in my youth. A maze like structure, moving…”

“it says minimum DX12 but somehow i can play even with DX11... i managed to get 20-30fps with some tweak and 60fps with Optiscaler or Lossless Scaling... Decent game so far but i still have some massive skill issues...”

“Man... I need to upgrade fast. The stutters are unbearable for my current setup. It's showing its age. Though, why do people with the same exact setup as mine somehow runs the game way smoother? Hmm”

“Visually pleasing to the eyes, The story is kinda meh, I played and finished this on playstation, Now I'm replaying it. Awesome game even though the story is bland and forgettable but the characters and the enemies are memorable.”

The combat is also okay but gets repetitve really quick and there is little to no enemy variety. Now to some important…”
