Release Date: February 10, 2023
Hogwarts Legacy is a TPP action RPG with an open world, which was set in Harry Potter's universe. We play the role of a young sorcerer (or sorceress) who goes to the school of magic in the 19th century.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG set in the Harry Potter universe created by J.K. Rowling. The game is a work of several studios, including Avalanche Software (known for games such as Hogwarts Mystery) and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Hogwarts Legacy takes place within the nineteenth-century Hogwarts. The player controls a young student of Magic and Wizardry, able to wield Ancient Magic. Our unusual abilities make us become the centerpiece of chaos caused by an alliance between the goblins and dark wizards, planning to destroy wizardry as it currently stands. The outcome of their rebellion and the fate of the entire wizarding world rests in our hands.
The game is set many years before the Harry Potter books and movies, so we won't encounter most of the already-known characters - though there are still some familiar faces to be seen.
The gameplay of Hogwarts Legacy is shown from the third-person perspective (TPP). We begin the game by creating our character; we can choose their gender as well as appearance. Next, we are assigned to one of the four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. After that, the game begins.
The bulk of the game is spent at Hogwarts. In order to learn magic we must participate in classes, during which we learn how to craft amulets, defend ourselves against dark magic, gather herbs or brew potions. There are also plenty of additional classes and optional activities. These provide an opportunity to get to know other students, over time letting them us as allies. There is also nothing preventing us from roaming Hogwarts between classes and discover its secrets. Exploring the school, as well as its nooks, crannies and hidden ages requires dexterity, cunning and perceptiveness, as the building is filled with puzzles.
Nevertheless, the school isn't all the game has to offer. The vast Wizarding World also includes the magical village of Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest. Traversing this huge world on foot isn't the best idea. Thankfully we can also fly around on a magical broomstick and ride a variety of magical creatures, such as griffons. Exploration is made more appealing by changing seasons and a full day cycle.
The times are rough, and the player will frequently have to battle their way out of trouble. Combat is dynamic and tests how much we've learned within the safety of Hogwarts. Trolls, goblins and other wizards can be fought with a variety of spells, including telekinesis and stun spells. To succeed we must combine our spells into effective combos, use defensive magic and potions to provide ourselves with various buffs. Weakening an opponent lets us finish them off in a flashy way.
Progressing through the game rewards us with experience we can use to develop our character, unlocking new skills and upgrading the already owned ones. With time we can also start brewing more powerful potions (alchemy is a manual process, letting us add ingredients to the cauldron ourselves. We can also become more formidable by acquiring better gear.
The visuals of Hogwarts Legacy are quite appealing. Particularly noteworthy are the high-quality character models as well as a variety of visual effects accompanying each spell. The detailed locations are also very nice to look at. It's worth noting the game doesn't contain any micropayments.

Hogwarts Legacy is not a bad game, and one you'd want to come back to - if it had new content. Suicide Squad will have new content, but one doesn't necessarily want to check what kind. Could it be that the publisher, common to both productions, got the genre selection wrong?

Hogwarts Legacy remains the biggest bestseller of the year in the US. If the game manages to maintain this position until the end of December, it will have accomplished something we haven't seen in fifteen years.

Today marks the release of the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy, and as a result, a slew of videos showing how the game runs on the console has flooded the Internet. The initial conclusion? The port is decent, however the game has an awful lot of loading screens on Nintendo's console.

Game Informer: 9 / 10 by Matt Miller
I encountered several minor technical issues over the course of my lengthy playthrough, such as pop-in while moving fast or long door-opening loads. And some of the game systems are more successful than others; a flood of useless low-quality gear rewards is one notable, if minor problem that sometimes stalls the fun. But for those who have long wished for a rich interactive playground to live out your own Harry Potter fantasy, Hogwarts Legacy casts an incredibly mesmerizing spell.
GamesRadar+: 3.5 / 5 by Josh West
Hogwarts Legacy is a solid first attempt. If Avalanche can be accused of anything, it's that the studio has tried to do too much all at once. Something was always going to give – between the massive open world, the messy RPG economy, exciting action combat, and adventure story that wants to cast you as a hero with homework due on Monday.
Game Revolution: 6 / 10 by Paul Tamburro
Hogwarts Legacy is full of Harry Potter fanservice, but as a game, it’s only serviceable. A fun but forgettable journey that isn’t worth the amount of controversy surrounding it.
