Hogwarts Legacy Reviews
Hogwarts Legacy is a visually stunning open-world adventure that masterfully brings the Wizarding World to life, despite a few bugs and long load times on the PS4 version. With an original narrative set a century before the Harry Potter series, the game offers engaging gameplay, rich lore, and a high degree of customization, although the spell-based combat may feel monotonous over time.
Hogwarts Legacy provides a magical adventure set within a beautifully well detailed Hogwarts, it really does make the school year come alive in an exciting and interesting way.
Hogwarts Legacy surprises locals and strangers with a solid port on the consoles of the previous generation that, even with the logical cuts, manages to maintain the type without reducing content. So, if you do not have a new generation console and doubted its quality, you can rest easy and run for it without fear.

The game’s attention to detail, immersive world-building, and engaging combat make Hogwarts Legacy a must-play for anyone looking to experience the magic of the wizarding world. I highly recommend playing this game.
Hogwarts Legacy is phenomenal in its execution, design, and experience. Combat can be challenging and exciting, while exploration shines the spotlight on some of the most breathtakingly beautiful vistas and locations in a game released thus far in 2023. The title does not come without its faults, but what game truly does? Hogwarts Legacy has earned Avalanche Software some of the highest praise gamers can possibly give thanks to the overwhelmingly satisfying and exceptional experience on offer. Also, being a wizard is dope, so there is that.
Hogwarts Legacy is probably the best Harry Potter game released; it is high on glamor but low on substance that may keep players from investing for long hours.
Hogwarts Legacy is littered with small niggles which, when stacked together, make the game feel like it was released over a decade ago. While the castle is a large enough area to explore, the monotony of repeating quests and tasks makes the game feel last-generation and boring over time. Hogwarts Legacy could already use some DLC's in order to expand the size of the world, add more complex spells, and introduce a wider array of enemies. If you are a power-nerd looking for a new and complete RPG, you will have to wait for Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, coming in April 2023. While most critics agree that Hogwarts Legacy is near perfect, due to the incomplete feeling of the game and lack of a solid story arc, it feels more Muggle than magic.
Hogwarts Legacy manages to combine several elements present in RPG titles and action games almost perfectly. One of his greatest successes is to explore very well the material on which he is inspired. Experiencing the wizarding world from the point of view of a character created by you is something unique. It follows the same formula already seen in its combat, mixing the best in today's action games in a comfortable way for casual players. As much as the title lacks in its main campaign and repeats certain narrative clichés, it is definitely the game that every Harry Potter fan and I have always wanted.

Hogwarts Legacy is a testament to the dedication of its creators and is worthy of its source material. But it could’ve been so much more. Instead, it settled for everything we expected and is destined to be remembered for the poisonous debate that preceded it.
Hogwarts Legacy offers an enjoyable open-world game for both those familiar and unfamiliar with the wizarding world. There are dozens of hours of entertainment to be found in the game and quite a few enjoyable storylines to indulge in.
Hogwarts Legacy is a lovely experience that will vary in quality for different people. Harry Potter world lovers will definitely enjoy it unlike any other work, and for others who have little knowledge of this world or are not at all familiar with this space, it will be a good and satisfying experience. What everyone will agree with is that this game is a very admirable achievement as Avalanche Studio's first ambitious project, and it has the potential to turn into a flawless game in its next installments.

It may not yet be the definitive experience that has it all, but it is the best game based on the world of Harry Potter created to date.

A surprisingly refreshing and extremely solid title that feels substantial in size, scope, and variety without ever wearing out its welcome.
Apart from small glitches and occasional copy-paste character models, Hogwarts Legacy is truly something else. The magic is alive, and it is finally time to explore Hogwarts castle.
Hogwarts Legacy gives us the best wizarding world experience we have ever had in a video game. You get to have the full Hogwarts student experience with free roam of the castle and grounds. There are so many fun side quests and activities to enjoy while also hunting for secrets and mysteries in the environment. The story is a little dull and some enemies can be bullet sponges but it does not spoil the fantastically magical adventure that this game offers.
As a Harry Potter fan, it’s extremely hard not to love the game. Was the game everything I hoped it would be? Probably not. It’s palpable how much the developers played on the nostalgia of the fandom. That being said, the game offers just enough to feel like you’re a part of the Wizarding World, while giving the opportunity for enjoyment to those who are not familiar with the books and movies. Hogwarts castle, the possibility to cast spells and brew potions, to fly and wander around the Highlands overshadow the minor technical issues and a shallow plot. Warner Bros. is already hinting at a sequel, and I’m sure that the next game will be an even bigger success. From one fan to another: I solemnly swear that Hogwarts Legacy is an enchanting adventure that will transport you to the Wizarding World and leave you spellbound.
While more remembered by the controversy, Hogwarts Legacy offers a quite fun world and some interesting mechanics for the player to experiment and that although a bit formulaic is pretty fun. That being said, the game lacks a lot in the story department and definitely some things could be improved in the sure sequel that Avalanche is developing.
