Considering how many stairs there are in Hogwarts, now you really can imagine how inconvenient travel was before Ignatia Wildsmith invented Floo powder!

Something that annoys me is how you walk significantly slower in a house. It's either run or walk extremely slow.

The worst part for me is every time your character casts a spell he moves forward, makes it hard when you are standing on cliff casting spells at goblins below and then next moment you fall of cliff and in the middle of the fight.

You forgot to mention that students don’t sleep at bed at night, it feels like a whole feature of the common rooms is missing.

My biggest gripe was the huge amount of loot with such limited space

I was also disappointed when all the classes were over and it became a treasure hunt for collections and going back and forth around the whole map. I wish there were more HOGWARTS related quests and story line. I’m praying we get a hogwarts legacy 2 that focuses more on the school than the world around it

I'm super annoyed that you can't fire spells off while riding your broomstick except for revelio. So many times I encounter enemies while flying around and wish I could dive in while firing at them like Olive Wood does during the courtyard battle scene. It kills the flow of gameplay when I have to stop flying, descend, and dismount to engage enemies.

The worst thing about revelio is that your character stops moving while you cast it

I think the thing that I hate the most is unidentified gear forcing me to go back to the room of requirement just to find out it’s junk that I need to sell or destroy

Things I've learned so far from playing: - Traveling was really inconvenient before the invention of Floo Powder - The Demiguise is mine - I should be proud of all the potions I've brewed - I'm always off on another adventure, aren't I? - It's always good to see me cause I'm a friend - It doesn't get any cozier than Hogsmeade and all roads lead to it - I know a Merlin trial when I see one - Travel broadens the mind

This game taught us that the ultimate treasure, the really coveted stuff that's guarded by hordes of terrifying monsters and locked away behind magical locks in hidden rooms of ancient ruins, is clothes.

I am really surprised the merlin trials wasnt on this list. To me that was by far the most tendius and downright aggrivating part of the game. And the fact that your inventory space was directly tied in with how many merlic trials you had completed made it even worse.

The Sebastian story line is much more elite than the main story line. I was much more interested in that

You also forgot to mention that for some unknown reason, you cannot fly through hogsmead. It’s pretty annoying when I fast travel to hogsmead because it’s relatively close to my destination, yet it won’t let me fly until I get out of hogsmead.

I didn't finish the game yet, but what bugs me the most is the lack of backstory for our main character. We don't see his parents, they never even mention them. We don't see him get his letter. In my opinion key beginning points that made us feel connected in the movies.

I wish there were more reactions to using "unforgiveable" spells in front of others. I used Crucio in front of Professor Fig, and there wasn't even dialogue options for him to ask how I learned that when I've barely been at the school for a few months.

Another thing I feel is kind of silly is that the main character just breaks into people's homes, a lot of times with them in it if it's at night, and just robs them blind and they don't even acknowledge you.

I'm surprised they didn't mention the merlin trials. There are maybe eight different types of merlin trials they are quick and easy to do, but there are 94 of them in the game, and each time you complete one you have to watch the same exact unskipable 10 second cut scene of the merlin made out flowers growing inside the little stone structure.

how did this list not include "there is no quidditch" ... because that was the most devastating for me

It's a minor thing but when the characters talk, like if they're mad or sad, their face will show emotion but the second they stop talking even if it's a pause in the sentence their face reverts back to a blank stare and sometimes it looks weird. The most prominent I've seen it was Professor Garlick

What I missed the most was roaming around Hogwarts during nighttime and trying not to get caught by prefects because it actually had consequences for the player. This feature added a lot of charme to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the ps2 back in the day.

I love this game. I only have nitpicks. I wanted romance, I wanted the ability to sell more than just gear (sell ingredients, monster parts, plants, potions), Quidditch would be cool, and I’d prefer it if the main story followed Sebastian instead because it was more interesting. Ominis, too. Voldemort’s great uncle.

I think the Demiguise statues was a great idea but just failed in execution. They were easy to find in the towns, but in hogwarts and hogsmeade I ran around a hundred times and couldn’t find any and to make it worse, some were hidden behind higher level locked doors… so I just ended up using a guide which didn’t make it fun.

I would also add that there is no good- bad system. I mean specifically when you learn the spell to open locks. Guy says that if someone catches you in a restricted area (rooms behind locked doors), you'll be caught and bad stuff will happen. But that is just one mission. After that, people don't care if you break into their house and steal the contents of their chests. There are no consequences of using forbidden curses either. It was very disappointing to me.

Definitely my biggest gripe was not enough immersion in hogwarts itself. Not enough classes, couldn't sit down in the great hall and have a damn feast even! But the biggest was not enough time with my friends. After completing their storyline and even before you couldn't interact with them and it felt a bit lifeless because of that. I wanted the chance to hang out with them all in the room of requirement and show them around my vivirium, or to have a special place where we can just chill and talk

Really surprised the loot wasn’t mentioned as sometimes you have to really go out of your way just to get a chest that has a common scarf in 😂😂

The sebastian side quests let you learn optional spells and you feel like if you do learn them you are a bad guy, like you haven't been using a super strong magic to pulverize your enemies and send them to the void.

Honestly, one of my gripes about the game was with the main story. Kind of wish there was a counterbalance to the Keeper's questline to make the final choice feel more impactful. Perhaps a bit more focus on Isidora ideals to actually give players that tug of war battle between Good or Evil.

I think what bothered me the most was the randomised loot. It takes a bit of the experience when you manage to acess some very restricted area with a chest to find you just got a random glove...

My number-one complaint are all the annoying walls while flying. Your destination is straight ahead, but you have to take a massive detour because of the damn no-flight walls.

My nitpicking: -Wish the loot you get was more than just mediocre outfits -Wish you'd be more involved with friends in the common room, or the room of requirement. -Wish the story didn't cater to you so much like you're a Mary Sue/Stu. -Wish the prefects still roam at night -More varied dialogue -Wish the wand core choices matter -Wish you could use your patronus from the site -Just me, but the game would be interesting for different magic builds and stats -Wish there's more variety in character creation as some games -Add mini games like wizards chess

I didn’t like having to swap between spells that much. I had the thought that the right bumper should function like the right trigger for instance holding the right bumper would allow support spells mapped to the face buttons. So now you’d be able to quickly access 8 spells instead of 4

The main thing I have a problem with is not knowing anything about my character.. why am I a 5th year student? Who am I? Like basic stuff. I feel like my character didn't have a life prior to Hogwarts and just started to live when we started to play with him. A little back story, at least in dialogs would make a huge difference in my opinion.

The biggest thing for me was the morality aspect. Learning the dark arts, stealing from places. Potential for cruelty to animals. I also wished that the brooms and wants had different stats to make a difference in using different models. Like, one broom might go a bit faster, but not turn as well and vice versa. Same with wands. Different handles could boost different types of spells, similar to the clothing mods. (In fact, it would have made more sense to be able to apply those to the wand handles instead of the clothes)

I hope they make a game series where you're friends and classmates with canon characters as an actual student and the adventures. It's like having the life of a hogwarts student, graduating and making progress in school with canon characters, meeting and getting introduced to new characters like in the movies. That would be cool, imagine if you can get the surreal experience of being a hogwarts student from being a first grader to finishing and graduating. I guess that sounds like too much work, but with the technological advancement, I think they can make a fun game out of that idea.

Just started and overall I am enjoying it, but there are already things that are hard not to notice, really don't like that I can't choose my own friends, and agree with others that there's not enough class room interaction (look at us wanting more schooling in our game), and if this story started in our first year then it would make sense that there's no romance, but we're 5th years hell even Harry started noticing Cho in his 3rd year. Another thing that's hard not to notice is that the story is supposed to take place in the late 1800's, which should be easy considering the design of the castle and village, but it feels like I'm in present day Hogwarts.

One of my biggest gripes is the gear system. Chests that contain gear are EVERYWHERE. Even with enough Merlin Trials completed to increase space, the gear inventory fills up so fast that you have to stop by a shop and sell off all your gear between every quest. And when you get to the Room of Requirement, you get a desk that lets you identify "unidentified" clothing which seems like a completely pointless step, considering you might end up selling the gear anyway.

“This could prove dangerous if I’m not careful” - cut to the same short run to open a chest full of disappointment

Was hoping i could also ride the broom fly/land from the top of the astronomy tower or any open area peeking out of the castle- but guess there are really some limits 😅 Would also be nice if there would be a whole underwater open world feature like in goblet of fire. Imagine if you could also travel (like broom mode) by sea- Would be nice to be able to cast spells in broom/ mount mode. Great passion and kudos to the team and developers- thank you for this game

The side quests are way more interesting than the main story. I was pretty invested in the Sebastian saga trying to save his sister but I wish there were more of a path to choose when it comes to your character development, such as learning the unforgivable spells should make you evil but you're out there casting avada kedavra on ashwinders and you're still the good guy. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

The devs need to implement a 'sell all' option with vendors... Having to hold down the button and sell each item individually is very tedious, especially considering the rate at which you collect new/better gear. Would be a nice QoL addition imo

My favorite thing about Sebastian’s story arc was being able to finally sit in a chair while talking to Anne. 8:57

I would've liked some more spells, Expecto Patronum, Episkey, would've been nice, maybe some more dark magic other than the Unforgivable Curses, and I also hate that Lumos turns off everytime I cast another spell

The only main problem i had with the game was the lack of storage space for loot it was annoying having to constantly destroy loot to open chests. Other than that though i loved it

I think what would’ve worked is if up until end of fall you do mostly school stuff and can explore a bit but not too much. Then at end of fall into winter they go on the whole ancient magic quest. My character felt less like a student and more like a over aged, undercover cop living in Hogwarts. Who had no curfew and killed numerous poachers in his spare time.

To add: I feel like you get legendary equipment far too early and far too easily. Legendaries should make you excited because they're rare and powerful, but I never felt that once I realised how frequently the game throws them at you.

One thing that really ruined the immersion for me was witnessing Ominis Gaunt, the blind kid read a book in front of me. As far as I’m aware it wasn’t braille, because I didn’t see his hand running over the page to read. It was funny though.

I totally agree with the broom one, the fact that you can't tilt your screen down while on a broom is just straight up annoying. When you see an enemy marked on the map and you want to look down to see what it is (without casting Revelio), you're just forced to go down. It's an amazing game with many things to love about it, but there are also so many things to hate about it.

I have the platinum for Hogwarts Legacy, and I am a big Harry Potter-fan. Here are some of the things I have "revelio'd" during my playthrough. This is quite a long one (Spoilers might happen from here): - The combat carries this game a lot. Once you've unlocked most of the spells and your fingers have learned to switch between spell-wheels and such, the combination of attacks you can do is quite varied. And I never even used the unforgivable curses. - Hogwarts is absolutely beautiful and should've been utilised some more. The lack of classes and school activities in general is hampering the enjoyment of the castle a fair bit. It's everyones dream to go to Hogwarts, not just use magic. They could've done so much more. This includes interactions with other students - The assignments given by teachers have no context to the spell you are learning. Why is flying my broom through balloons relevant to learning wingardium leviosa? And why the fuck is it my flying teacher who's trying to teach me this spell and not the charms professor? The wrong teachers teaching the spells disconnects you from school life and makes it feel like it doesn't matter who teaches what at Hogwarts - The fact that no rules apply to you as a student is immersion breaking as fuck. Why am I, as a student, allowed out of bed at night? The forbidden forest is literally just a forest with some (again, immersion breaking) cartoonish warning signs every 10 meters.They could've adopted a system akin to Persona 5 (Of course not exactly like it), where you have to go to school and then have the afternoon off. If you choose to roam the school at night it is not without risk. - They haven't utilised the house cup effeciently. The large hourglasses doesn't even move during the year and will always appear empty. This wasn't even the case in the first HP-game for PS1. In it the scores would be updated during the course of the game/year. - The main story reminded me a lot of something i'd see in an early Uncharted game, only without the charming cast. Dungeons with puzzles. The "ancient magic" never felt like a part of the Wizarding World for me. The knights powered by ancient magic looked like robots and doesn't feel at home in a world where magic has been established as very grounded, human and somewhat casual for the none world-saving witch or wizard. Especially when the game is set in the late 1800s - Ignatia Wildsmith is damn proud about her floo powder - The herbology and potion-system is extremely shallow. Either have it or don't. They are also unecessary unless the game is played at the hardest levels. - The spell progression is excellent. The rate of learning feels natural and all spells feel relevant and is used regularly. This is except Alohomora, which is shit. You use it regularly when learned, but considering what you have to go through to learn all three levels the pay off isn't great since it is actually just lockpicking. Fucking open the door. It's standard book of spells, chapter 7, level stuff this. Should be easy. Also, you should be able to run and scream "revelio" at the same time. Otherwise the spells in Hogwarts legacy are basically without fault - The world is very empty in the southern part of the map (There is a clear divide where you have go through a mine to cross the first time). Yes, there are small hamlets, bandit camps, side quests and such, but all of these could've easily been implementet into the other part of the map, which, apart from Hogwarts, the forbidden forest and Hogsmeade, isn't exactly packed to the brim. - Considering how easy it would be to make good broom controls, the final product is utterly disgraceful. They already have the "throttle" at the right trigger. then just have one analog stick determin the direction, and have the other as the camera controls. They aren't useless as they are now, but you will make some odd turns with either your character or the camera all the time. There is no justifiable excuse for the control to be as they are. None. - I'd marry Professor Garlic yesterday - You can't really pretend to live in the world, as you basically can't interact with anything that doesn't serve a purpose for a quest or a collectible (except for the food and drink lying about and the odd dragon shaped bush). I want to sit and have a meal in the great hall. I want to have a reason to go to the common room. - The dueling club should've been fleshed out A LOT. - Although they try with Poppy and Natsai, only Sebastian (and Ominis, quite frankly) feels like actual friends. I like Poppy as well. Her voice actor is quite good, and Natsai's backstory is quite interesting, however you don't feel a very strong bond to them. Some games like Persona 5, Uncharted, Red Dead, Yakuza and so on makes you fall in love with the characters. You feel emotionally drained when the games are over in large part to the fact that you are no longer capable of having new interactions with these "people". None of this was present in Hogwarts legacy. Only Sebastian feels like a true confidant, until shit hits the fan, and even he could've been utilised better/more as a character. And Ominis is such a good friend, like for real. Be the Ominis in someones life. - Some major parts of Hogwarts, like the hospital wing, is never really used in context. Make some quests where these areas become relevant and not just because there is a Demiguise statue there. - I could use a more detailed map of Hogwarts but that is more for quality of life than anything. - Many details I haven't mentioned you'll find in other comments. I agree with almost all of the ones I've seen. - I MUST emphasize how much I think they've dropped the ball considering the potential this game had. Don't get me wrong, the game is good, but the world of Harry Potter and Hogwarts has almost endless possibilities. Hogwarts Castle is beyond what I ever dared dream of, but you spend hardly any time here. Look, I have the platinum, which means I've done everything. Every collectible of which there is nearly 700. Every trial, every quest, every challenge, and I found the map chamber with a character from each house. Still my total playtime is only just over 60 hours. They've modelled Hogwarts and Hogwarts grounds so beautifully that 60 hours could've easily been spend just here. Instead you spend most of the time around a massive world where you don't have enough time/quests to connect properly to the major areas such as the forbidden forest. You don't feel like a student, after the first couple of hours, since you haven't got any classes and no rules apply to you. You are just a powerful witch or wizard wandering about Scotland with free access to Hogwarts. (Also everyone is slightly cross-eyed outwards which means everyone looks like damn frog-people). IN SHORT: Needs more Hogwarts. I wanna be a student, damnit. Spells and combat are nice. Hogwarts itself is immaculate. 7,75/10

By far the most frustrating thing in the game is the low gear slots. Even if you went to sell off some gear before a quest it would be back full by the end of it.

I remember a couple days ago while playing I got that "the blood is on Ranrok's hands" line and I was cracking up for five minutes because the thing that prompted my character saying that was me using crucio and confrigo on an enemy, instantly killing him

I like the fact that we are constantly saying Revelio, it shows that we really are a new student. We haven’t learned nonverbal magic, which, if we remember from the books, it is quite difficult to learn in the first place. So I kind of like the fact that we are constantly repeating the spell. Most of these I really have no problem with, but I will agree that I wish there was more student life and interaction to the game and yeah, Sebastian’s questline did feel a bit better than the main. I would have also liked to see more around Ominis as he’s my favourite character in the game.

One particular improvement for alohamora would be if by levelling up the spell the level below would no longer require the minigame, so at level 1 you can only unlock level 1 locks and you need to do the minigame, at level 2 you can unlock up to level 2 and whilst 2 needs the minigame level just unlocks instantly and so on for level 3 with a potential higher level to instantly unlock level 3 locks

By far the most annoying thing is the inability to fly in, out, and around Hogsmeade. I can understand having the barrier along mountain ranges since that is out of bounds, there’s nothing there. But Hogsmeade is a place you will visit quite frequently, I’d rather not have to run to the edge of town just to use my broom again.

The lack of character customization is what hurts it for me

Another thing is when you're completing a quest and it goes into story mode with dialogue and everything, you can't actually pause the game. It's pretty frustrating coming from a busy household. And honestly, I thought I was the only one who thought Sebastian's story was way more interesting than the actual main story itself. I found myself dozing off a lot during the main storyline.

I didn't mind the amount of stairs it's pretty realistic and the way they did the castle is insane and is close to the castle in the movies.

To me personally, the fact that Field Guide pages are only highlighted for a very brief moment when you cast revelio is the worst. Sometimes you have to spam ravioli a thousand times to find a single page. It wouldn't be so bad if the page became visible for a longer period of time, like every other object

For the revelio and class issues, they should make an update with a nonverbal spells class so that you won’t have issues with either one.

My biggest issue is the constant loading screens. Why can I walk into certain rooms and have to load into others. Plus the loading takes like 45 seconds or sometimes even 3 minutes and I end up going on my phone and loosing immersion.

I am SO glad I am not the only one who was playing this amazing game it feels like we’ve waited all our lives for - only to think “I wish I could sit in chairs.” I love this channel for backing that up.

The fact that you can’t end your broom race and start over if you’ve missed a ring or two. I know I’m not going to be able to beat the record time, yet I’m forced to fly through hoops for two more minutes then sit through a reload just to try again. Even Spyro the Dragon could end a race early to give it another go.

My personal beef is actually the stupid barriers around mountains, its a pain to have to fly around a random af wall or when I accidentally get close to a random town

Constantly hearing my character talk about finding those damn Gobstones 😡😡 Never had a problem with the stairs though, didn't realize people had a problem with them lol

A couple of mods I highly recommend for a playthrough are "Silence", which removes a lot of repeated lines from the player, Deek and the Floo-Powder Lady. As well as "Authomora", which removes the minigame when unlocking things with the Alohomora spell.

I think the map could really use some work. Not being able to filter certain points of interest is a real annoyance, and the lack of any 3D modeling for the castle itself can lead to a lot of confusion when handling the Floo Powder points.

The best thing about the dialogue is your character tells you exactly what to do when you’re just standing there, seemingly don’t know where to go next

as someone who played on pc and loved it i absolutely hated that i miss a whole quest and i so wish the main one was more detailed and fleshed out, ALSO MORE CLASSES AND MORE BEAST CARING i also wished i could have flown the phoenix :(

I would have loved to spend more time with the professors, especially professor Hecat. I mean her performance well brief really made me want to know more. She's this old lady who used to be a member of the wizard CIA and clearly stated that she put down a lot of dark wizards

I love when the character uses the line: I wonder who lives here when when there are people right in front of them in the house.

What really ticked me off was how they put Ollivanders Wand Shop in Hogsmead instead of Diagon Alley

Going off the chairs thing, you could be right next to your bed and still "wake up" on the floor next to it if you select wait on the map.

Number 7 is mostly reserved for the male student. I played my first time as a girl and her voice wasn't as monotone, but when I played as a boy, he barely changed his reactions, even after a battle.

The lack of choices and house irrelevance are definitely the worst parts for me; replayability is hampered so much by this which makes it the bigger problems. I also didn't really like any of the other students besides Ominis (his voice actor does such a great job) but others aren't nearly as interesting. I can handle the collectibles problems and repetitive dialogue. I wish I could choose to get close to some students and not others. I like how much detail they put into the small things but characters don't have a lot of depth. I want each house to have several people who can get close to or not depending on who you're roleplaying morality or personality wise. Some of the dialogue options, like with Gobbstone girl, make you seem like a jerk who would learn the unforgiveable curses, while the animal stuff makes you seem like wizard of the year heart of gold. Since the houses are based on personality and whatnot, their storylines should be significantly different.

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the collecting the beast system. You can only have 12 beasts or something in your garden area, beach area, and swamp area so you collect all these awesome looking creatures in different colors, not even mentioning going after the shiny ones… But you can’t keep them in your garden! Because there’s not enough room! So… You can only keep say a male and a female, and one offspring of each breed, so what’s the point of saving the animals from the “evil poachers” because you’re gonna have to go to the store and sell them all… And then guess what? YOU’RE NOW THE POACHER!!

I found it annoying that there were more Merlin Trials and field pages (especially in Hogwarts itself) than you get experience points for. Or that I can sell animals and clothing, but nothing else.

I definitely would have liked a bit more of maybe a Dragon Age take on relationships. Not full on romance or anything like that, but more chances to talk to and spend time with your classmates, or even the ability to take one along on your after story adventures. You even get random lines about telling Sebastian about some of your fights, or that he'll be pleased you killed some spiders, and that made me really wish you could take your friends along! And yeah, I know it's cringe, but getting to hold hands would be cute, sue me!

The fact that the last update made it so Ignatia doesn't repeat lines of dialogue every time you get near a floo flame says a lot

No mention on the very limited gear slot system? Forcing you to either constantly destroy or sell old gear since those slots, in the early game, fill up super fast. Oh and every time you sell, you have to go to a vender somewhere so if you're in the middle of a big quest and have run out of gear slots....too bad

two more that i think that should be definitely added to the list: the terrible room of requirement music and the lack of ability to change seasons after completing the game

At this point deek is just like Paimon, I'm already used to him telling me stuff I don't care about, btw Deek thinks you should be proud of the potions you've brewed!

Mine would be that there is no endgame. Once you are done with the main plot there is no incentive to play other houses or fight tougher enemies. The loot system and abilities only go so far.

The one thing that really annoyed me was the potion guy CONSTANTLY thanking you for doing his side quest. I think they patched that one at some point, but also it seems he never says it if you demand a higher reward from him lol.

If you walk around with lumose on you can see the point of interest scrolls without using revelio. Lumose will allow you to see the shadow of the scrolls. Then you can use revelio to activate them.

"Deek thinks you should be proud of all the potions you've brewed"

One thing that wasn't mentioned that I hate, is the map. I want to be able to put pins for things that I want (or need) to come back to. Finding store locations in Hogsmeade is difficult, if you don't know exactly where it us . I think the map of Hogwarts school is very much lacking. They had plenty of opportunity to base it off something like marauder's map.

I want a good/bad meter. More spells that are purposefully meant to interact with the environment (glacius should be able to freeze water) The ability to sleep in the common room along with having your trunk in there to switch outfits. Also, having a magic tent you can customize/upgrade to fit your needs and use when your outside school grounds. Having to sneak outside the castle at night, having professors/aurors confront you if you break the rules. They nailed the big picture, but overlooked a lot of details

1) The impossibility of keeping a set of clothes, and therefore having to modify it every time you loot something 2) The impossibility of revealing unknown objects anywhere, and therefore having to return to the Room of Requirement each time (and then hearing Cheek (I don't know why he doesn't have the same name in the French version...) always say the same sentence) 3) Being really slow when the characters enters a house 4) The inability to fly over Hogsmeade or land in Hogwarts 5) You can't equip all spells, even if you unlock all spell bars. Then I never save any animal... 6) Too much repetitive things (or rather... too much things). There are 6-7 different Merlin trial types but tens of Merlin trials. 3-4 types of caves but tens of caves, ...

My biggest Gripe is how backwards the gears transmogrification is, being able to change the appearance of your gear to any other piece of equipment you have is great so don’t need to dress like a mix matched clown for the best stats… but when you equip new gear (which you’re going to do a lot) you need to go back and transmogrify each new piece of equipment you’ve equipped, just give us an option to set our equipment appearance and have it be set until we we decide to change it.

Sebastian’s plot line is so good and flushed out I often forget it’s NOT part of the main plot line

YES with the repeated lines! It's super annoying. My other main reasons of annoyance in the game: some of the character voices you can pick are weirdly very robotic, the winter season is waaay too long and takes too much of the main plotline (I live in a cold & snowy country irl and would much more prefer the beautiful bright and sunny seasons), aand it takes too long before you can learn Alohomora. Also, I do wish there would be more different ways the plotlines could go depending on your choices, e.g. how your relationship evolves with your friends. Like, if you use the unforgivable curses, you would become just best buddies with Sebastian but Natty would start to despise you or something. I'm glad the player has at least the big choice with Sebastian in the end.

my biggest problem with it is that it lacks options toward the anything, even in the end when you decide to store or keep the ancient power, there is really not that much differences except for a small cutscene difference. The only ending that you can truly dictate is Sebastian side quest deciding if he stay in Hogwarts or not. all the dialogues options are nearly pointless to have, they are just there to give you a false sense of option. Another things I hate is the upgrade system, it is too simple, the talent points should have been better developed. the combat system is fun, but it lacks the feeling of upgrade attack or defence.

I agree with all these points. Most annoyingly about the Demiguise moons is when it is night but you still can’t collect them. As it’s not night enough, it’s completely dark but apparently the game says it’s not. Same thing with the astronomy tables

What really takes away from the school experience is not having more class/professor/student time. But also things like no quidditch or other house events. These would have been fun side activities or even main quests competing against other houses. Not sure why this is something they excluded

5:28 and if you play on switch, sometimes the voice DOES have a robot filter, so if your going through as a female character, well done, you just put GLaDOS in Harry Potter!

One of the most annoying things is that you cast Revelio, you hear that infamous bell, you search around for the damn page for two hours and then give up, frustrated as hell.

The Sebastian quest line is the perfect exposure of the Delusion of Choice in Hogwarts Legacy. Ultimately, no matter how you choose to approach the quest it plays out pretty much exactly the same. In fact I tried to play a "good" character and avoid getting the Unforgivable Curses, only to have Uncle Solomon call me as guilty as Sebastian when I tried to talk to him after the middle part of the quest line. Completely ruined my experience and caused me to just go to the Undercroft and ask Sebastian to teach me the Curses anyway (which you can do at any point after those quests as long as you don't turn him in). There is no choice in this game but the one the developers want you to make.

The game falls into one of those games that spread their content over a large playable area instead of condensing it into a smaller area. If the map was like 1/2 the size and one or two features were added like classes or student interaction then the game might have been one of the best ever made

My gripe is the gear system. How you get limited inventory and even when you cap at 40, it's still limiting. This hurts when you miss chests in ancient magic dungeons and can no longer get access to when backtracking. Not to mention being forced to sell or destroy gear to make room and the game hanging over your head with your eventual gear upgrade mechanic. Wish there was a wardrobe feature where gear you collect with a full inventory automatically go into a storage system (like in pokemon), giving you the option to look at your spoils after a quest and being able to keep items you like for later use and aesthetic.

The game overall was amazing .. I’ve always been a Harry Potter fan so to play a RPG version of it was super fun… the most annoying things for me were : the gear slots.. it wasn’t bad enough that the slots are very limited and that you have to literally complete Merlin’s Trials to get more space but on top of all of that even as you progress through difficult missions in difficult areas the items you find in the chest are pedestrian at best not too mention picking up feeble amounts of coins from enemies ,chests, etc. The Broom stick flying was absolutely horrendous. And there’s literally know way too fix the controls. The main quest should’ve been longer .. there were a few pointless side quests they could’ve did without The clothing shop could’ve had a way better selection of items and ability to customize color … A morality system could’ve and should’ve been added Also not being able to fly over the mine was extremely frustrating .. why should there be limits outside of public areas like Hogwarts and Hogsmeade? Overall I give it a 7.5/10 glitches considered
