This game has some great parts and some bad parts. Starting with the great, it's honestly just really cool to finally be able to explore this world myself. The castle, the creatures, and the magic is all there, and it's all brilliant. The combat honestly shocked me with how fun and engaging it could be. It feels like it has some fighting game influence due to the interesting interactions between the spells (similar to combos). And some of the sidequests are really engaging (like Sebastian's line).

But there are some flaws as well. The biggest thing that bothered me is how in a game about attending a magical school, the magical school is barely used. There are a few "classes" you can attend, but they're very minor in the grand scheme of the game. Most of the quests don't take place in the school, which is a shame. The other thing that bothers me greatly (but it's honestly pretty minor), is the menu navigation. This game uses a cursor, which I hate. It makes it super clunky to navigate the menus in a game that sure does love its menus.

So, it's overall a pretty good game, and possibly a must-play for Harry Potter fans such as myself, but it's not revolutionary like many had believed it had the potential to be (yet, there is a sequel in the works).
