i'm torn between 3 stars or 3.5 but i'll be generous this time since it's the first AAA wizarding world game
my experience with this game:
my thoughts the first few hours: omg my character sounds so bad, dialogue is horrible, graphics are very bad, the optimization is HORRIBLE (played 2 weeks after launch and it was barely playable on low settings with 20 fps when it was supposed to be 60 fps on ultra according to recommended settings game set for me), the NPC's are 1 iq and don't react to anything, the class system is disappointing (oh how i wish they made the classes / school friendships like persona... or bully...), there is a huge red screen and alert sound to return back to my quest area when i go and try to explore a bit... IN MY FIRST FEW MINUTES AT HOGWARTS... hmm well THAT IS SUCH A HORRIBLE CHOICE WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT
thoughts after the first few hours, between 7-15h:
woooooow EXPLORING IS FUNNN, hey this is a new puzzle!!! omg what is this? whoa they even thought of this detail! hey the game is getting better and better!! wait am i really gonna explore all of this castle? inch by inch? i can't waiit!!!
thoughts after 20h:
omg. stop it already. when is this gonna end. i don't care about this story. my choices mean nothing. oh it's the same puzzle again, the one that i already did 33 times. uuugh i must be close to the ending (i wasn't even barely close), just hold on...
and it was a love & hate relationship after that point. i wanted to turn off the game & go to sleep for a huge chunk of the game. i was totally invested and excited for another chunk of it. but the bads outweighed the goods in the end. i am glad it's finally over (at 52 hours) i did a fair amount of side quests because they were way better than the main story and gave me a reason to go and explore. i didn't 100% and i don't think i'll be going back to it again. i also couldn't be bothered to do the final quest "the house cup" because it requires level 34 and i'm only 31. maybe if they add a photo mode in the future (they probably will) i might have a reason to go back and graduate. that's all. still feels like a dream though, to be able to finish and write a review for this game after being so hyped for years. i have hope the 2nd game will be way better than this, so now i can start looking forward to that one!
