    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.

    Hogwarts Legacy provides an expansive world of magic and mystery. With a main story that is both whimsical and gritty, and over a hundred side quests, there are countless reasons to ply out an enchanting life in the game. Occasional graphical issues are noticeable but overall negligible to the abundant sense of wonder. Hogwarts Legacy is a spellbinding and enchanting experience not to be missed.

    Hogwarts Legacy is a detailed open world game focused around magic. It completely fulfills the dream of enrolling in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While the game has its fair share of problems in terms of UI and performance, it isn’t just for Harry Potter fans: Its casual nature also makes it a great game for newcomers to open world games.

    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.

    But what separates Hogwarts Legacy from others of its kind is being Hogwarts Legacy: the stunning recreation of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the world around it. Walk through the lines we read. Entering the rooms that we could not see in the cinema seat. Hogwarts Legacy has its flaws, but when dreams come true they always do.

    This is a must-buy for Potter fanatics and a very good game for those less fussed by the lore of the much-loved kids books. It’s got strong combat, depth to its open world, plenty of character and a decent storyline.

    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.

    Vi las películas de Harry Potter pero equis. Nunca me emocionaron. Pero después de jugar el Hogwarts Legacy, las quiero volver a ver. Le doyVi las películas de Harry Potter pero equis. Nunca me emocionaron. Pero después de jugar el Hogwarts Legacy, las quiero volver a ver. Le doy un 10 al juego padando alto las pequeñeces que es esperan de un estudio, en este caso Avalanche, que no tienen tanta experiencia en mundos abiertos. Sin embargo... esta claro el amor que le metieron al fandom de Harry Potter. Definitivamente es una carta de amor a los fans. El Gameplay es buenísimo, después de ver muchos videos previamente al lanzamiento, pensé que sería muy repetitivo, pero cuando entré al sistema de "talentos" me quedé sorprendido. Cuando veo un enemigo me emociono porque no se si voy usar una poción, o que sistema de combo para derrotarlo, o una combinación. Todos los quests se me han hecho muy entretenidos y de verdad que el HUB del castillo de Hogwarts es enorme, me sigo perdiendo en el y eso me gusta. Que te puedo decir, es un juego que me falta muchísimo por explorar, pero no dejo de pensar que este juego en manos de una empresa con más experiencia en mundos abiertos como Nintendo o Fromsoftware, pudo haber destronado al Zelda Ocarinca of Time como el mejor juego de la historia.

    No es un juego perfecto para muchos críticos, pero como dicen, las cosas se toman de quien vienen, y es un estudio con poca experiencia en mundo abiertos y tomando eso en cuenta y su esfuerzo, definitivamente se merecen un 10.    … Expand

    It’s solid. It’s not perfect but it’s solid. Even if you’re not a fan of the books or movies you’ll still find enjoyment in playing this.
