This is as Spider-Man as it gets. Swinging never felt so good.
Hogwarts Legacy
2023
A decent, detailed look into Hogwarts, but one that eventually falls flat.
+ A very intricate and deep look into the most confusing building complex in fantasy stories.
+ Decent variety of activites, flying is fun, so is building and animal collection.
- The story is formulaic, very bland and predictable. The entire game has this veneer of mediocrity that it can't get rid of. I think it would have been a lot better had they just removed the character creation, made Hogwarts in modern day and put HP characters in it. Without that connection to the book series, this is just a very beautiful Hogwarts architectural case study with a pulp fiction story around it.

The Hogwarts castle and Hogsmeade were amazing, but when I set foot in the rest of the Open World the magic faded away (pun intended). The game then became a generic Ubisoft open world. The story was okay. I think the game captured the Harry Potter vibe well. 7/10
Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is a game that makes no sense for someone like me who has watched the movies and read the books a bit. It is a game made entirely for Potterheads for fan service purposes. You need to be blinded by Harry Potter to enjoy this game. When you look at the details objectively, you realize that it is a mediocre game that neither offers a good adventure story nor a real RPG depth.
Hogwarts Legacy

+ Captures the “magic” and lore of the books and films brilliantly
+ Beginning hours were intriguing and fun
+ Room of Requirement was a great change of pace at first
+ Riding the broom is great
- Combat soon grows stale
- Weak story with uninteresting characters
- Boring world activities not worth doing
- Unrewarding gear system with pointless upgrades and constant bombardment of new stuff

Pretty much the exact kind of open world game I always get bored of halfway through and stop playing.
Wahoo
Hogwarts Legacy
2023
Once the magic of exploring Hogwarts wears off, and you're confronted with the expansive and mostly samey open world beyond, you can quickly grow bored with it. Still, the side storylines were strong enough to carry a lot of the game for me.
Hogwarts Legacy
2023
Hogwarts Legacy is one of the games that I've been most hyped about in years. I was a Harry Potter fan when I was a teenager, and the idea of an RPG game set in Hogwarts couldn't excite me more.
Besides all that, shortly after its release, I was on vacation in New York City. In the Big Apple, I reconnected with this franchise by visiting the official store and attending the Broadway play. It couldn't be a better time to return to Hogwarts.
But talking about the game, I can say that it didn't meet my expectations, but it's not a bad game. It's definitely one of the best games of the year (2023) and the best product of the Wizarding World, excluding the original seven books.
As for the gameplay, I can say it's pretty good. To be honest, despite my hype, this was the part I had reservations about. The last Harry Potter games based on the movies were generic shooters, but that's not the case here. It still feels like a shooter, but much better than I was expecting.
The story is pretty good, second only to the original seven books. The game is about a new Hogwarts student who enters the school in the fifth year and has the ability to harness ancient magic. To be honest, it feels like the story was created to make the game possible, with its mechanics and the idea that it wouldn't be fun to play as a first-year child who doesn't know anything about magic.
By the way, it was a good idea to set this game a hundred years before the Harry Potter saga to disconnect from the characters we already know and allow those who have no connection with Harry Potter to enjoy the game.
The best part of the game is its atmosphere. It's really cool to return to Hogwarts. The entire world is very well done, but the school is the best part.
Hogwarts Legacy is the best Harry Potter game ever and one of the best things the franchise has offered in years. I truly recommend it to anyone, even if you don't have any connection to the saga. It's a pretty good game on its own.
