Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books. Now you can take control of the action and be at the center of your own adventure in the wizarding world. Embark on a journey through familiar and new locations as you explore and discover fantastic beasts, customize your character and craft potions, master spell casting, upgrade talents, and become the wizard you want to be. Discover the feeling of living at Hogwarts as you make allies, battle Dark wizards, and ultimately decide the fate of the wizarding world. Your legacy is what you make of it.
Experience Hogwarts in the 1800s. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. You have received a late acceptance to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and soon discover that you are no ordinary student: you possess an unusual ability to perceive and master Ancient Magic. Only you can decide if you will protect this secret for the good of all, or yield to the temptation of more sinister magic.

(7.5/10)
▪︎Hype gradually fades after the first hours to the game, especially when it starts introducing the open world elements outside of Hogwarts school. (-)
▪︎Regardless of the enormous amount of details in Hogwarts School, this phenomenal attention to detail is sadly limited to the indoor environment of Hogwarts school.(+) (-)
▪︎The outdoor environment is a massive dispersive, soulless landscape. With few areas that are lively. (-)
▪︎NPC movesets or Ai intelligence in general is of extreme basic level of development. That adds up to the soullessness in its open-world. (-)
▪︎Story content from writing quality to lore, is too average with seemingly minimal efforts exerted in trying to come up with a good plot. (-)
▪︎The mediocre writing quality overly focused on the protagonist, making it a superior figure. And that did cost the narrative being negelctive of side-characters and poorly presenting them. (-)
▪︎Game direction and concept execution were probably the only positive sides that can overweight the negatives. It has well captured Harry poter and wizardry atmospheres. (+)
▪︎Gameplay gets tedious overtime feels like as if it doesn't grow on you even with upgrades! (-)
▪︎Combat system has almost nothing to offer for both lacking in variety and also the bad AI intelligence for enemies. (-)
▪︎Quests are too repetitive with random encounters of enemies.
Without further notice or hints, you'll suddenly find yourself in a boss fight! (-)
▪︎Dialogues are boring and mostly are pointless lore for the average player. (-)
▪︎Some exploration elements and puzzles were fun to navigate and solve. (+)
▪︎World architecture is remarkably beautiful. (+)
Overall..
Hogwarts Legacy, while it did well to Harry Poter fans, it failed to properly present it in an Open-world direction, with poor investment in RPG elements. Might would've been better experienced in a Semi-open linear world.
(+) Positive
(-) Negative
