I really don't want to talk about the controversy around this game but I think it has grown into an really toxic dimension. However, Let's not talk about J.K.R. but the game and the art.
Hogwarts Legacy is a game I highly anticipated and when it finally came out the hype was there. It caught me directly with the exploring of Hogwarts wich was some kind of a dream come true. The design for hogwarts and the secrets to explore are stunning.
I realized that this is gonna be a 100%er where I want to explore everything but then 50 hours into the game one of the worst things ever happened to me. The game stopped autosaving and the bad savestat overwrote the others that might have been good. This broke down my motivation completely because I wasn't able to continue unless I started over, which I did in the end. I the completed the rest of the game and even restarted twice again to complete the trophys 100% with the 2 left houses.
The game sure is not perfect. Biggest point is missing consequences for using unforgivable curses. Then the annoying repetetic sayings. Also there are too many repetitive things to do (I'm looking at you, merlin) I somtimes had the feeling, playing an ubisoft game.
But besides that, this game is filled with beautiful visuals, absolutely great combat, atmosphere and soundtrack let you take a deep dive into nostalgia and a story that is a cool addition to the Potter Universe. All in all I had a great time. Would have binn 4,5 without the gamebreaker bug, which still annoys me.
