in the past


Clunky but still has a lot of charm and the music (made by the guy who composed for Skyrim) is my favorite part. Super nostalgic for the Hogwarts theme.

entre la risa y la nostalgia que da jugarlo imposible no disfrutarlo


Known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the UK.

Classic game from my childhood that holds up decently well. It felt pretty magical (pardon the pun) to be able to explore Hogwarts and discover its secrets myself. The main focus was platforming and action, but they varied its simple formula enough to keep it fresh. Some of the minigames were pretty bullshit though I concede.

Solid, fun game. The visuals are even quite nice and timeless in a way.

youtube shorts made me revisit this

I'm not sure what this game's deal is. Even less sure why I decided to sit down and beat it

La verdad es que no está mal a día de hoy

Bem, vou separar por categoria a avaliação:

Grafico:
SInceramente, é um pouco bizarro o modelo dos personagens, mas considerando a limitação do console, digo que é ok

Gameplay:
Flipendo!, catar jujubas, parkour e "genius" para aprender magias...
A parte de colecionar as cartas dos magos eu até agora não consegui identificar como pegar todas...
A parte de gringots é quase impossível você pegar todos os itens sem repetir várias e várias vezes
O quadribol é bacana apesar de simples

História:
Segue boa parte a história do filme/livro, tendo algumas adaptações para criar obstáculos para a gameplay

wr why would a sophisticated individual such as yourself be playing shitty licensed ps1 games? interesting question. anyway I only ever made it to the mandatory broom flying section and gave tf up never made it further. I've never read a harry potter book or watched a movie so this is the only thing I know about this kid

I liked this game even though I know it’s a bad game. Purely nostalgia.

One of the most popular games coming from the PS1 era. Not so much due to its gameplay (even though some challenges control like trash) but more so for its blocky and heavily compressed graphics that made each character look like prototype Roblox models. They look blockier than the Lego adaptation that came many years after, how did they do that?. Even with some of the frustration it can carry a lot of nostalgia since it adapts the books with some fonds cutscenes, charming narrator and classcial soundtrack.

PS: Screw Gringotts.

i had this game when i was a kid, never beat it, was always curious about how the GAME ended. Ive seen all the movies so i know what happens, but how does the game handle...… exactly how i expect it, for a ps1 game

Considero o jogo definitivo para pessoas que NÃO JOGAM NADA, começarem a jogar. Dificuldade boa, itens bem espalhados, castelo bonito, representa bem Harry Potter.

We stan shitty movie tie-ins.

My first video game I ever played. At least to my memory this is where it all started. You can't imagine the nostalgia when I boot it up every few years. Astounding. This is the second time playing it this summer. I experienced nearly all of this playthrough stoned and it was a deep experience. Loved it.

The game of course has issues and the camera is one of the worst I've seen on PC. But the level design, lighting, the use of the first Unreal engine really showed what it could do. I played this since I was 5/6 and only first beat it when I was 13. It's a tough game and although it has it's flaws it holds a place within me. I'm stoned writing this but to wrap it up, I had a fun time.

ORIGINAL FLIPENDO.
I have no nostalgia for this game (my nostalgia game is Prisoner of Azkaban) so this feels like a worsened version of the Azkaban game. Pretty good anyway considering it is a movie game.

This review contains spoilers

This is not as good as nostalgic fans call it. The Story is the same as the movie, but they tone parts of it away to make room for gameplay, and although the story is hurt by that, it does give off more quality towards the gameplay, but I do question why Harry didn't tell anyone about the masked figure in the dungeons during Potions class. The Characters are the same as the movies, and Peeves from the books is in it too, although without big moments that defined them as characters for gameplay which I mentioned before, although the dialogue is generic, and the voice acting doesn't feel like it has any heart in their performances to increase the whimsical atmosphere this game needs. The Graphics are awful, models are too pixelated to make appealing figures, and some don't even look finished with their little details, backgrounds look alright. The Gameplay has you go around Hogwarts sometimes to explore, while mostly following 1 path to the next event, which would be good if Hogwarts was fun to traverse around, but this is the least interesting Hogwarts I can traverse in, places look too similar, you can cast spells from your wand, but learning them comes at a simple press the correct buttons minigame, and the spell doesn't come out the moment you cast it, causing you to miss moving targets from it, jumps are too slippery in this game to land carefully where you want to normally, collectables beans are nice to give to Fred and George for passages, but wizard cards are not interesting when you can't collect all 101 cards that exist, and feel random, why can you get house points for doing things that no one saw you do?
there was a chase section with Peeves, yet he can fly into walls along with the item he took from you,
there was also a jump across tiles over lava section that is pointless when players with enough health can run through the lava on the other side without dying, why is the Gringotts floor slippery? it doesn't even have a point to gameplay either, I know this is a kids game, but why couldn't they explain how each chess piece works, instead of changing the rules so anyone could understand? and why is the invisibility cloak only work for a certain amount of time after you touch 1 in your path? The Music is great, fits whimsical atmosphere of Harry Potter extraordinary, but the music barely ever comes up, making traversing through parts of the castle even more boring.

Made Childhood a lot better

One of those really charming childhood games that obviously isn't any good but holds a weird place in your heart

What the fuck are the goblins putting on that flood??


i have been trying to beat this game without a memory card for 22 years. i will one day

j'étais absolument minuscule et je comprenais strictement rien mais les elfes de maison faisaient des bruits super droles

This game was clearly made on a strict deadline, even by movie tie-in standards.
