Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a fine way to experience the magical game of Quidditch. It is far too busy, and there is a huge skill ceiling that isn't introduced to the player well enough. The tutorial goes through each role, which is helpful, but more than that is needed to understand the flow of the game. While being a fun game with friends, it sadly lacks when playing alone, and the limited substance makes the whole thing feel like more of a DLC than a full game.

Quidditch Champions is an enjoyable, well-made game that, starting out with very low expectations, surprised me in a positive way. The gameplay is not trivial and requires a good degree of attention to bring home good results. The multiplayer is fun with a group of friends and pushes you to learn all the roles well and have good teamwork. But how long such a simple game formula like this can last?

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions finally brings the magic of the famous wizarding sport back to life after years of absence. The career mode offers a fun build-up as you progress through your own Quidditch career, from Weasley matches to the Quidditch World Championship. While the career mode is somewhat limited by the use of bots, the game really shines in the PvP mode, where teamwork and strategy are key. The controls take some getting used to, but after a few matches, the flying and maneuvering feels smooth and challenging. Overall, Quidditch Champions offers a modern take on the iconic fantasy sport that really shines in multiplayer.

I don’t have many qualms regarding the gameplay loop at all, as it’s probably the best thing one could have hoped for from a Quidditch game. Even if the Seeker’s role got massively nerfed, I understand the decision, for balancing purposes. Mechanically-speaking, Unbroken Studios did a great job with Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. It’s just underwhelming to look at, and it’s lacking in terms of modes and lasting appeal. As of now, it doesn’t feature a lot of teams, modes, or even a reason to keep you entertained for long.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a very fun game. If new content updates and game modes are added, I think it will be playable for many years.

Fun whether you’re playing online or solo, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions successfully turns the fictional sport into a great competitive video game.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has bolted down the formula with an exciting game of broomstick ball, featuring a diverse cast of Harry Potter characters, various positions to play, and simple-to-pick-up, hard-to-master controls. However, it severely lacks major gameplay modes and a dedicated story, while also suffering from highly repetitive commentary and a required internet connection just to start the game. Blimey!

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is another quite successful game from the iconic brand. The varied campaign mode and engaging multiplayer mode is definitely a recipe for good fun with friends.

"I feel like I might be too harsh on Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. Perhaps that's the case, but after around five hours of gameplay, I had seen everything and was eager to move on to another game. While the game boasts excellent controls and immerses you immediately in its world, there's simply not enough content. Moreover, it's a paid game that depends on an online player base. We've seen what happened with Concord when it went offline, and I fear this game may face a similar fate. On top of that, teams of seven players can only be filled with three actual online players, which seems like a recipe for dissatisfied players, a declining player base, and €30 less in your wallet."

Chasing the ball and scoring points is the most fun, followed by the Keeper mechanism. I didn't really like the other two options, including the Breaker. They try to give the game some face and content by sprinkling a lot of collectibles, level progression, skill points and all kinds of customizable options, including adjusting the appearance and upgrading the 'brooms' with speed, agility and durability, but in terms of content the game actually offers very few real possibilities. The tournaments are actually just an exhibition mode with a nice hat on, but that's all it really has to offer. Online it's fun that you can play with and against others, but even there, after a few hours of floating around, boredom reigns a bit. The game can also be played single player and online, the AI ​​lends itself perfectly to being able to play 'offline'. Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is fun for a while, but has no game modes or content that will keep you glued to the TV for weeks. However, are you looking for some entertainment every now and then and do you want to get to know the Harry Potter universe with friends or bots with a game of Quidditch? Then this is a game that will play quite nicely.
