I recently got "Hogwarts Legacy," and it’s everything I hoped for. The open-world design is breathtaking, bringing the magic of Hogwarts to life with stunning detail. The story is engaging, allowing me to carve out my own path as a student. The spellcasting mechanics are intuitive and fun, making combat and exploration exciting. The character customization options are extensive, letting me truly feel part of the wizarding world. From attending classes to discovering hidden secrets, the game offers a rich, immersive experience. It’s a must-have for any Harry Potter fan, and I’ve loved every moment of it.

I am not a big gamer and not a avid Harry Potter fan. But do like the movies.
This game is totally fun. Selected story line as the easiest play for me. It holds my interest and the story is fun. If you want extra challenges, there are side quest and puzzles to figure out too.
Recommend purchasing.

This game is absolutely gorgeous! We're all Harry Potter fans in our house and I originally bought this for my wife to play while she was on bed-rest. She's not much of a gamer, but got SUPER into this game. There is also a "story mode" for her that makes things more enjoyable as there isn't as much fighting or button mashing. For my son (7 yo) and myself however, playing on regular mode is loads of fun. Even if you're not much of a gamer but love the Harry Potter universe, just exploring and wandering through Hogwarts is total eye candy. The attention to detail the developers put into everything is absolutely incredible. The open world sand-box style game allows for endless hours of exploration, the perfect type of game when you just need a break from life!

We finally got a game in the Harry Potter universe that is not linear. From the spells to the story the game is all around very good. I find myself using my broom to fly around and travel even though I could just fast travel to my location which to me speaks volumes to the world the devs have made. The mosters and bosses are engaging and if your not careful you can easily become overwelmed by the enemies. If had to critique anything it would be the lack of quditch and this game could really go for a morality system. Its kind of amusing that I can just Avad kadaba and Crusio enemies and no one seems to bat an eye. But other that I highly recommend the game.

This game is amazing! I'm a casual gamer and Harry Potter fan but not a fanatic. So keeping that in mind, when I say this game has me hooked it must really be good! I love open world type games and that's exactly what this is. The freedom to explore Hogwarts and even Hogsmeade is so much fun. The graphics are incredible. I cannot stop playing this game!
You don't have to be a skilled gamer to enjoy this at your own pace if you choose. I wish it had Multiplayer/Co-op but otehrwise this is perfect.

One of the greatest games I've ever played. The main story is really interesting with many quests to venture. Moreover, you can entertain numerous side quests that makes the play time of the game really long. You attend many classes that you read in the Harry Potter series. You capture and tame magical beasts, and explore the game world with fancy brooms. Fighting against evil creatures, learning new spells, brewing magical potions, and growing magical plants, you will explore the magical world that the game makers prepared for you.

As a very long-time Harry Potter fan, I must say this game is incredible. It has gone beyond my expectations, and I can't be happier with it. Well, maybe if Quidditch was included, but even so that's not a big deal with everything else the game has. It includes so much wizarding lore, secrets around the castle, a huge world to explore that looks absolutely gorgeous, and an incredibly intriguing storyline. Not only this, but the NPCs are amazing. I find myself already loving Sebastian and wanting to know more about him as my character gets to know him!
I love that I am constantly still finding out new information about the world that I love so much. I have the books and movies basically memorized, but this game is adding so much more to it that I'm still intrigued in absolutely everything that I discover. As someone who loved reading the books and thoroughly missed the sense of wonder that comes from reading new books, this game has brought that back to me.
The graphics are also wonderful. I love flying on my broomstick and just looking around the world around Hogwarts. Speaking of flying, I love that you can travel through the world without any loading screens! You can fast-travel, if that's more your thing, but I love flying over the Hogwarts grounds, over Hogsmede, and through the trees of the Forbidden Forest!
The magic system is also so, so good. I expected it to be a little clunky, but the way they designed it was incredibly well done. You can pick and choose which spells you want in your hot bar, and it's easy to swap spells out mid-battle if you need to.
I cannot recommend this game enough. If you are a Harry Potter fan, or if you just like fantasy rpgs in general, pick up the game, and pick it up now. You won't regret it.

Amazing Game Worth the Hype

Great game with a lot to do. Lots of side quests and ventures available in addition to the main plot. You get to make decisions. You don't have to be the clean cut goody two shoes type. You can be that witch or wizard who doesn't always do the right thing despite technically being a hero. You can give yourself a bit of an edge here and an interesting personality. Hogwarts and the places surrounding it have been masterfully brought to life in this game. One review alone cannot give it justice. Strongly recommend buying and seeing for yourself.

A really fun game that keeps totally true to the Hogwart's books. The world is exactly like you would expect it and I was totally surprised at how easy it is to cast spells and do battles. If you like the books or movies you should really enjoy this game.

This is a great game with fatastic graphics, pretty smooth on PS5. The story itself is shorter than what I expected, but it was fun. The first two trials was great with puzzles and combats, pretty challenging in early game. However, the last 2 trials didn't cost much effort. It feels like the developers spent a lot of time at the first two trials and rush through the later two. And after the 4 trials, the main quest went straight to underneath Hogwarts fighting the last boss. The side quests could keep you busy but I expect more in the main story line. Overall it is a good game. I hope there will be DLC coming up, because I could finish the main story line in less than 20 hours if I were to ignore the side quests.

An immersive experience. I bought this for my daughter who watched all the movies ( I haven't, yet) and I must say I'm amazed at the open world presented here. All the details and nuances come together to craft a rich world that pulls you in. Half the time my daughter just 'hangs out' at Hogswart, traversing the halls. Both main story quests and side quests are fun. I would recommend doing the main story quests until you learn to fly then sit back and take your time with the rest of the game.

I held off buying this as i just figured it would be very juvenile but i finally purchased it after watching a reviewer explain the content so much better. This is an absolutely beautiful game as it looks like art work. The game is so polished and i couldn't believe how well it plays. I'm so glad i took a chance 2 years later after its release. I highly recommend this game even for us much older gamers.

This game is AMAZING! I havent stopped to enjoy the view and take pictures of my surroundings since The Witcher 3. Ive been waiting for a indepth RPG based in the Harry Potter world forever now! I thoroughly enjoy exploring hogwarts and hogsmeade. They did an amazing job putting every detail into the world. Only thing I wish is that we could customize the default made characters a bit more like adjusting eye, nose and lip sizes. My character looks a bit off when in the world. Also see brightness in the game changing during dialogue when they pan to the character talking. Super minor details. Last thing i wish the NPC had more a life especially the friends you make I wish they having a schedule and can be found doing different things at different times. It would make the world feel a bit more realistic.

This game is nothing short of a MASTERPIECE! The graphics are stunning, the story works perfectly, and the gameplay is surprisingly easy considering all the moving parts. It's fun, it's super pretty, and it's mysterious. This game has now set the bar so far above what we are use to. I'm excited to see more like this in the future. Excellent work! A MUST HAVE!
