graphics It truly feels like Harry Potter
story The story is a bit confusing and messy
Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books and films. It features the iconic wand and magic spells that Harry Potter fans have grown to love, and also offers the chance to explore and discover fantastic beasts as you play through new adventures. It’s an enchanting experience, to be sure, and I have no doubt that it will capture the imagination of Harry Potter fans. Unfortunately, however, it’s also an incredibly messy and muddy story that feels overshadowed by prejudice and isn’t particularly coherent or believable. It’s a shame, because the game is full of so much promise.
