Hogwarts Legacy is finally here! Is it the game die-hard Harry Potter fans have been waiting 20 years for?
Thanks to WB, I received an early copy for review and have been playing the game for the past several days. There's still much to be discovered, but this video contains my early impressions for the game and what I think so far.
This video is free of major story and gameplay spoilers.

8 Hours in and I can say that this game is even better than we were hoping for! The map is ridiculously huge, even with an upgraded broom it takes forever to traverse and there is stuff to find around every corner. Combat is amazing feeling (The swapping between sets of spells takes a bit to get used to but becomes second nature after a while). Fighting enemies of way higher level isn't impossible and is incredibly fun but one slip up can hurt badly. The game runs extremely well on the series X besides a couple tiny spots in Hogsmead and Hogwarts where the frames drop a bit, but I am playing before the day one patch to that's understandable. Hope everyone has as much fun as I am!

Even RDR2 had that I think of it as one of my best played games every. I don't care about JK Rowling at all. Her opinions now don't change the fact that her books were a masterpiece and a game using those as a base will always be welcome by me.

It'll be fun to have all the references and little details go over my head and later understand them, maybe! I also really love video games that have school environments, and I'm hyped to play this one even though Harry Potter wasn't ever something that really appealed to me too much, now it does.

Avalanche did the Mad Max game a few years back as well and knocked that one out of the park. You could tell they really cared about the source material for that one as well. Very underrated studio. Looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Different studio. The one you’re thinking of did all the Just Cause games. It’s a bit confusing since both studios are under WB

im just happy that the game is a culmination of the HP franchise, seeing the activities, side quest, platforming, and puzzle solving like in the OG HP titles PS1 and PS2. the 3rd person HP vibe send me way back Deathly Hollows.

I’m playing on hard and let me tell you combat is tough. I got my ass kicked in the duelling club at first, but once I started learning combo’s and perfecting my movement it’s a really rewarding feeling when you defeat an enemy. If you’re a gamer I recommend playing on hard, it really adds to the immersion of feeling like you have to learn how to use the spells properly.

@FMPlayer14 Жыл бұрын

For those wondering how lost you can get in the game, I’m around 6 hours in, still not unlocked talents, still not even heard of the room of requirement and still not even seen the grand staircase or the great hall. It is an amazing experience :)

I'm glad the combat is tough. I've never enjoyed gsmes where it locks onto the target during combat because it might be too easy.

I just played for the first time. I have played very few games and never one of this type. I am playing on PC. My daughter had me playing Ark with her on ps4. I really struggle with the controler. I am taking it very slow. At first, it was very hard but is getting easier. I left the setting on normal instead of changing it to easy. So far, I am glad I did. I'm beginning to have more and more fun. This game to me is visually very beautiful. It feels very real to me like the movies feel real.

Game is mediocre at best as an rpg. Even as a HP game many things are underwhelming. Why is the school choice so underdeveloped? Where are the consequences for using the unforgivable spells? Where is choices that alter the quests? It is an rpg no? Where is the enemy variety? Where is the level design? Why is the voice acting so bad? Why is no one mentioning the bugs? Why is no one mentioning the bad performance? SO many whys

Because "owning the libs" is what's important. No one really like this game, it's just the latest product to consume and "culture wars" frontier to fight. Kinda sad tbh.
