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.

Solid 10/10, and possibly the best game I've ever played. Hogwarts Legacy has a truly engaging and exceptional story and characters that really pull you in, significantly better worldbuilding than the Harry Potter books (don't @ me), absolutely stunning visuals and sound design that really bring the world to life, and surprisingly good gameplay for a narrative-focused game. Gameplay-wise it's an action game with sufficient challenge, and sufficient options with regard to how to defend against enemy attacks, to keep you on your toes, and enough enemy variety to stay interesting through the whole game, though only barely. Additionally, even though reacting to enemy attacks is usually the only interesting part of action games, and the part where you attack is usually the boring part; this game manages to have offensive options that are varied enough and situational enough to be interesting in their own right, which is quite an acheivement.

Hogwarts Legacy is the wizarding adventure in the Harry Potter universe that fans have been waiting for for so long. A title that even those unfamiliar with the series will be able to enjoy if they let themselves be carried away by magic.
Hogwarts Legacy has succeeded in presenting players a huge, mysteriously beautiful 'Hogwarts'. While the game expands the franchise's thrilling, magical experience throughout the Highlands, it did not forget the delicate touches for the original fans. It is safe to say that this is the game where the Wizarding World you've dreamed unfolds right before your eyes.
Harry Potter fans will hardly find Hogwarts Legacy a forgettable experience. What really sets the game apart, though, is its ability to entertain and engage a wide audience with its unique combat, superb world-building and enchanting interactions. It does have edges that need refinement, but the game’s charm is powerful enough to make it one of the most memorable gaming experiences in recent years.
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.
Amazing details, story, graphics. Tasks are different and fresh. I haven’t felt that I’m doing the same things all the time like in other games. It was a pleasure to play this game! I hope there will be dlcs or second part :)

The story probably deserves a six out of ten and the diversity of enemies probably deserves a four out of ten yet I still give it a seven. There are just so many other things this games well and with no other modern Harry Potter game to compare it to I will take what I can get. The castle is amazing. The catching of beasts and raising them is fun. There is a lot to improve on but for a short period of time it was really fun to play.

Hogwarts Legacy a good game for Harry Potter fans and the atmosphere is fantastic but the dull story and boring open world hold it from being great.

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
