When you’re flying around the pitch, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions can be a blast, but there just isn’t much off of it to keep you playing long-term.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions does a great job of scratching that Quidditch itch, but one or two concerns could keep it from achieving glory.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions offers a magical and fun experience that stays (mostly) true to the Wizarding World. Winning feels incredibly satisfying, but the gameplay stumbles when it comes to switching between each player.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions’ simplistic gameplay and barebones content are fun for a couple of hours, but provide little more depth than it likely would have as a minigame in Hogwarts Legacy.

The gameplay foundation is solid, but there just isn’t much done on top of it. The available modes grow generic and the lack of variety or unique challenge caused me to put the broom down and walk away much faster than I was expecting.

On first impressions, I had Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions down as a broomstick crash waiting to happen. It isn't that, thankfully, but without some major improvements this game will glide, but never fly.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions could have offered a better and more complete experience, but it remains the ideal way to experience the magic of Quidditch in a video game.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions takes the key elements of the wizarding sport and adapts them very successfully into an entertaining, agile and tremendously fun video game. It lacks incentives to last over time, but the playable base it presents is so good that it is hard to resist playing another game.

Most importantly, if you believe you wouldn’t like this simply because you’re not much of a person for sports games, this is not like any other sports game out there. As someone who fails miserably at any sports game I’ve ever picked up, this was not only incredibly fun but easy to get the hang of with a little practice. Perhaps the only thing notably missing from Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is the beloved sassy commentary of Lee Jordan while you carry out your match, under the close supervision of Professor McGonagall, of course.

There is some fun to be had in Quidditch Champions but that mileage is going to vary by player for sure. Hardcore Potter heads will probably love being able to experience this sport, and chasing all of the unlockables

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a surprisingly fun experience, with a variety of modes to sink your teeth into. There are some nice references to the books and films for diehard Potter fans, in addition to smooth flying controls that ultimately make the game fun to play. There are a few issues, noticeably regarding balance and the longevity of its single player content, but if you like the idea of playing a competitive sporting game in the Wizarding World, then it's definitely worth checking out.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is not for those looking for fine technicalities, both in graphics and gameplay. It is a decent pastime for the early hours that hides the potential to create its own fan base, but to allow it to do so, more content is needed and a review of the multiplayer section starting with the integration of effective 6VS6 PVP, to allow the most competitive to challenge each other without bots in the way.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a fun game, but it's not enough. We appreciate the effort to adapt a sport that was based on other rules to a video game content that has to come to terms with the needs of the gameplay.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions from developer Unbroken Studios finally brings a decent version of Quidditch to the video gaming world. While the controls are going to certainly frustrate some, especially when mixed with the chaotic Quidditch gameplay, the game does a decent job of bringing some good modes and reasons to keep playing. This is very much a vanilla beginning and hopefully, that can be improved in the coming months.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a solid return to the Quidditch pitch and is a must try for fans of the overarching series.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions gets the core fundamentals of Quidditch right - it's fast-paced, frenetic and a joy to zip around the field. But despite some robust multiplayer options, there's just not a whole lot here to keep you interested beyond a few hours.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions didn't completely win us over. On one hand, it's simple and fun to play, but on the other, this same accessibility proves to be a double-edged sword, as boredom sets in rather quickly. It doesn't help that the game launches with limited content, which makes it even easier to get tired of Quidditch matches sooner than expected. As with all online games, much will depend on how the publisher manages it in the coming months: we'll see if they allow Unbroken Studios to keep working on and improving the game as planned.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a very typical game-as-a-service that will not appeal to a wide audience and may have trouble keeping fans of the universe. The broomstick chaos and balance problems negatively affect gameplay.

Every Harry Potter fan has wished to feel the air on his face while flying on a broom at full speed in search of the golden Snitch. Harry Potter Quidditch Champions succeeds in fulfilling that dream halfway, because it conveys the excitement of the matches but turns off after a few hours. The lack of content and game modes make the experience become repetitive, plus the campaign is short and the rewards are not worth it. If you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber give it a try and judge for yourself.

If you have Playstation Plus, it's an ideal game to play for free and linger for a few hours. But it's a bit too small in diameter to pay for it. Actually it would fit into Hogwarts Legacy just fine.
