So prepare your wands, put on your wizard robe and start exploring this incredibly magical world of Hogwarts which is an amazing homage to Harry Potter universe which set the bar so high, that not even Levioso could put other games on the same level.
As we near the end of this review, I have a small secret. I'm not someone you'd call a "fan" of the Wizarding World, at least not in the sense where I've got my own wand or want to down a butterbeer. I enjoy and appreciate the world that was built and the characters in it, but it's not like I got fully sucked in. That changed a little after a few dozen hours of playing Hogwarts Legacy. If you're a fan, you're in heaven, and if you're not ... well, this game might not make you love magic, but you'll certainly want to like it.

The best game for fans Even though it is a Hogwarts skin version of the Ubisque open world, it is still very fun

Hogwarts Legacy is the game Harry Potter fans have dreamt of since the first book was released. It puts you firmly in the shoes of a student and turns you loose to find your place in the world of wizardry. Unfortunately, its biggest issue is that it often feels like you’re just visiting.
Hogwarts Legacy is an experience of mammoth proportions, really difficult to summarize in a few words. A meticulous reproduction of Hogwarts, its intricate labyrinths, its infinite secrets, is accompanied by a rich and multifaceted game structure, which will make you feel like real Hogwarts students for the first time. The game is to all intents and purposes what a Harry Potter fan has always dreamed of. Even those who have never followed the adventures of the wizard, however, will find an engaging adventure, with a game world that is nothing short of fascinating. We really hope this is the start of a bigger project, because it would be a shame to limit such a successful formula to a single game.
Whether you’re a diehard Potterhead or casual Wizarding World lover, you’ll have an epic time no matter what level of fan you are. Even though there is optional padding, it’s optional nonetheless. The core experience of Hogwarts Legacy is still not only the best game in the entire franchise but a seriously fun RPG that will take your breath away in its pinnacle moments.
The chips might have been stacked against them, but Warner Bros. and Avalanche Software have delivered on their promise. Hogwarts Legacy is the game that fans have been waiting for, laying down a solid foundation to build off of moving forward.
Hogwarts Legacy delivers a perfectly competent adventure, but its most unforgivable curse is its lack of imagination. Despite having access to an entire universe of possibilities, its sole trick is using magic to cover up tired video game clichés that feel entirely disconnected from the vibrant source material it’s adapting. The only unique aspect it brings to the open-world genre is franchise branding, making for a shallow experience that doesn’t offer much more than wish fulfillment for fans unable to let go of a dream.
As a fan of the Harry Potter books/movies and universe in general i found this game to be incredibly fun! I love the time period it is set in, the world is beautiful and the combat is very fun and challenging until you get the hang of it. I am glad that this game isn’t just another Piece of Harry Potter media but does still take place in the same universe, it’s like a healthy disconnect from the same media we’ve been absorbing for decades while still bringing that familiar magical feeling!!!

I re-watched the Harry Potter films before playing Hogwarts Legacy. It's a fun game but lacks an X-factor to make it standout.

I am not the biggest Potter head but I love the Hogwarts castle, this game is a perfect recreation and you can imagine yourself on the castle finding every corner.
Story is okay nothing really memorable and gameplay also is okay, a bit complicated at first but you get used to it.

This game has worse frame rate issues than Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, even on the lowest settings. I have a GTX 1070, so this probably shouldn’t be happening.

Had lots of potential, but it’s full of bugs, I had to quit and reload the game 7 or 8 times. Most of the collectibles are also quite tedious
