This is actually a pretty fun game, you can murder people/creatures quite brutally.
Next week we get another mystery game.

Got to a weird battle arena and got my butt kicked after several tries. I love the battle mechanics in this game but maybe I’m not very good at them? Also, I’m starting to realize that the enemies may very well scale with your level so getting overleveled may not be a thing…

My oldest got this for his 10th birthday and since we are reading the books together right now I think maybe I’ll give it a try too. Played enough to make my character and get sorted into Ravenclaw. I find the premise that you enter Hogwarts as a fifth year kind of a bummer if I’m honest. Kind of wish …

Played 15 hours, didn't finish.
Pros:
- Recreation of Hogwarts feels very authentic and looks great. Fun just wandering the castle and getting lost in it. Its big, feels alive, and has a decent amount of stuff to find and see. This was the biggest thing I wanted from the game and it did get that pretty right.

- Pretty cool comparing Hogwarts in the game to the movies to see what is the same and different. They get A LOT right.
Cons:
- I have no interest in any of the open world that exists beyond Hogwarts that they made up for the game
- Too much ubisoft style open world bullshit. Checklists of cookie cutter content to make the game bigger and longer.
- Not enough school. Going through school year, taking classes, forming relationships with people. Like in Persona or Bully
- Loot style rewards incredibly uninteresting to me. Glasses and scarves having stats is certainly a choice they made...
- Game doesnt feel very magical. Revelio removes too much sense of exploration. Combat boils down to attack/dodge/counter. No wacky spells.
I really hope a sequel would focus more on the Hogwarts experience but its probably just going to be bigger map, new spells, and more boring filler content to complete.

The beginning of the game is amazing. As a Harry Potter fan this game is a must play, if only for the exploration of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. The combat is fun (kind of puzzle-y with matching spell colors and enemy shields) and trying to make an overpowered build is great too. Puzzles are also fun and there are a lot …

The story isn't really engaging imo and then the game got more into the open world part I started to loose interest. The gear u get is random and until you're max level it doesn't really matter what u wear. At max level just get the highest grade gear and transmorph it to look good. I also miss NPC interactions. About 50 hours in I stopped.
Great game and it's nice to have a open world game in the Harry Potter universe, I just kind of see this as a good start for a sequel.

Far from a perfect game. There is a lot of unnecessary bloat and repetition. But I still had fun playing it. Though, I admit it was wearing out its welcome as I got to the end & I cannot imagine wanting to try to platinum the game with all the ridiculous collectibles.

Seems ok so far, but feels flat, the player character has no character and choices don't seem to matter. Would really like to roleplay going to Hogwarts starting as a first year instead of this, go to more than a handful of classes and get in trouble when caught sneaking out, or when using magical attacks in hallways and so …
