![]() While the character models themselves are fantastic, often when in conversation, the mouth is the only thing that moves. Some of the characters have very stiff movments and facial animations. Apart from Sebastian, but more on that later. So I just told myself, my character is just putting on a show, that he actually hates everyone. It takes away from the immersion, when you are being all kind and caring, then blasting people with the killing curse. I want to shape the personallity, to choose to be cruel. Even you try to be a ruthless Slytherin, like myself, the character always acts nicely, and politely. But like I said, this isn't your own personal character. Since Hogwarts takes place in the UK, we should have had options for a Scottish, Welsh and Irish accent. I was also disappointed you only got to choose from 2 voices, male and female in the English accent. But those moments are sparse and didn't affect the overall enjoyment. They may have done this to prevent some select minorities from complaining, but this is in the 18th century, those groups did not exist. This is rather annoying since they aren't taking into account that you are a witch or wizard but referring to you as binary. Also, on the character screen, you are asked if you are a witch or a wizard, but this means nothing, as you are always referred to as *They or *Them. The main character is mostly scripted, and you only control some of their dialogue. If you were expecting to have your own personal Harry Potter story, you will be disappointed here. The minor/major issues I found is that your character, isn't your own. That's it, thats the biggest issue I found with the game. They should have changed it to the right bumper, since you only use that for one option, an option you barely use. This caused several frustrating moments, especially when you are in some epic boss battle, and are taken out by the spell screen. This was a very poor choice on the creators part, as you also use that same key to scroll through different ability profiles, when you hold down the right trigger. I played this on Xbox, so I am not sure how this fares on the PC, but the right arrow on the depad brings up your spell selection screen. The biggest, major issue I had with the game is the controller hotkeys. I spent more than 30+ hours just on the main story, plus the companion side quests, and barely scratched the surface of the open world. Right off the bat the game throws you in, and you then spend the next 1-2 hours figuring out the controls before you reach the good stuff. The game starts with us getting our Hogwarts acceptance letter and the character creation, with a pretty interesting prologue soon-after. This is still a game aimed at children, so if anyone is expecting some Elden Ring craziness, you will be disappointed. There are some issues that I have with the game, which I will note below, but they do not take away from the enjoyment this game. It's a magical game with great characters, an engaging story and a stunning open world. Hogwarts Legacy is a fantastic game, that will appease both movie fans and book fans alike. Won't recommend but I don't regret playing it either.I've been waiting for a game like this since I was 10 years old, and it was well worth the wait. I spent more than a hundred hours in this game but some things I played through in irritation or boredom. The designers and artists must have taken years to implement all the details in the castle. Hogwarts Legacy gives lots of things to explore. Also, the missions with Poppy Sweeting have the most beautiful level design,majestic beasts included. And, if you're a Ravenclaw, you won't even get a chance to solve a riddle when you enter your house's common room.Īmong the good things, I personally loved flying on a broom and caring for the beasts. The world won't react to your actions even if you're walking through the castle killing everyone you meet. Noone really explains why you're so special and talented. You don't have a history before Hogwarts. This game is full of chests but their contents are mostly rubbish.Īll in all, the character you're playing as is an avatar. However, the plot, the overall scriptwriting, the dialogues, the characters, even voice acting are very mediocre and sometimes even bad. ![]() Most of the efforts went into the visual stuff and design of the world so it would look believable. ![]() If you're a fan of Harry Potter world, it's worth looking into it, but if you're a gamer who loves a good story, well-written characters and interesting sidequests, brace yourself.
