About the Game

This game is set in the late 1800s, so there is no overlap with any characters from the movie and book canon, although some of the ghosts you know and love may pop up to guide you on your way – or hinder and delay you, if you annoy them!

Unique – and central – to this game are NCPs (non-playing characters) Victor Rookwood (who is the sort of pre-Voldemort leader of the Dark Wizards – precursors to the Death Eaters), Professor Eleazar Fig who is your form teacher and ally, and the deliciously evil rebellious goblin leader, Ranrok, who trusts no human and especially no wizard!

You are a student about to start your fifth year who transfers to Hogwarts from somewhere else following a mysterious accident. Slowly it emerges that you are the possessor of the key to an ancient secret that could tear the wizarding world apart.

Ranrok hates all wizardkind, but has allied himself with Rookwood in order to get hold of an ancient magic. An ancient magic which is so dangerous that wizardkind has tried to hide it from itself – and that you, unexpectedly, turn out to be the one wizard that is the key to the unleashing of this ancient magic!

Needless to say, Rookwood is in danger if Ranrok succeeds, but Rookwood is dangerous enough on his own behalf. You, as the student, must work with Fig to keep the magic’s secret and avert the goblin rebellion…

The Nitty Gritty

You will attend classes, in between saving wizarding civilisation, in Charms, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Potions, and in between classes you can explore much further afield than simply the castle. The Hidden Forest, Hogsmeade and Gringotts Bank are all accessible and fully explorable

The open world setting will change with the seasons, and you can choose your house, and customise your playing character in many ways including voice, body type, gender and wand selection. All of this adds up to mean that each player can enjoy a tailor-made and very different gaming experience.

As noted above, the game is open world and positively begs exploration as you interact with NCPs like Nearly Headless Nick, Peeves the poltergeist – who is known and loved by readers of the books, but never quite made it into the movies, although the part was filmed for the first movie, starring the late great Rik Myall – and the Fat Lady, who guards the Gryffindor dormitories.

The Room of Requirement features in the game too, serving a much wider purpose than previously seen. Players will be able to customise it to their needs and preferences and it operates as a kind of common room, growing plants, doing research and tweaking your customisation as you need to.

The game’s in-built morality system will allow wannabe villains to tackle the killing curse if they dare, or you can make friends with everyone you meet – including classmates who will grow and develop alongside you, offering handy aid at tricky moments.

There are no microtransactions in the game: everything you get will be earned the hard way, there are no shortcuts for the rich to take and get ahead.

Fantastic Beasts and How to Care for Them

Care of Magical Creatures is a must as you will interact, take care of and even battle using:

Dragons: never mind the ban on breeding dragons, in Hogwarts you can raise your very own pet incinerator on which you can ride, cuddle and battle. Just don’t forget to feed them
Nifflers: the cute and cuddly mole-platypus-magpies return again, snaffling up anything shiny and simultaneously annoying and charming you
Trolls: more animal than humanoid in this game, trolls are firmly in the creature camp rather than the wizard camp here
Hippogriffs: Buckbeak (aka Witherwings) and co return to terrify and delight you as well as coming in jolly useful in the battling stakes with both sharp claws and a fearsome beak to put to good use against your enemies
Mandrakes: technically plants, but considering their roots are screeching and intensely grumpy babies, they fall under the ‘magical creatures’ umbrella. Use ear defenders when potting them, and unleash them on your enemies when you are in a pinch

Hogwarts Legacy for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

Bought this one for the gf because she loves Harry Potter...... I haven't been able to use my Steam Deck ever since....... She's not a gamer but is already 100+ hours into the Hogwarts world and tells me she's not even half way through the story with a smile on her face...

Will update this review whenever I have a chance to try it myself

2024-02-01T10:23:42-0500

The game itself is pretty good, (the first few hours I‘ve played it)

But for PC it’s still a mess. It crashed often and the stutters are making it unplayable.

After hours of trying to fix it, I found a mod that makes it playable. Not perfect but at least playing.

I have 3070 and it struggles.

I cannot recommend it, still after almost two years it’s been released. It’s not in a playable state from the get go.

2024-09-21T11:56:27-0400

okay I am really sceptical aboutbuyin this game since it is so cheap... a question for all the buyers... do you actually get the game?

2024-07-20T01:58:41-0400

I've opted to not buy HL for a while due to the Harry Potter inventor but the games open world and of course me enjoying the Harry Potter World made me get the game for my PC neverteheless. The game cought me right away and even the "tutorial" section was surprisingly fun. First impression of the people was that they could be more realistic but after more than 50 hours of playing everything fits in well.

Graphics are lovely, the villages, meadows, mountains, lakes, everything is beautifully designed with so much love for details. Realistic but then again not hyper realistic, all in all matching the people in a good way.

If at all I would've wished for more different maps for the treasure caves (please forgive my english wordings here I'm no native speaker). Those can seem kinda repetitive, same goes for Merlins quests - while the first few are challenging, once you know hot to solve them you wish for more variance.

But the main story is just so well done. Sidequests for exporing the world, learning the mechanics and a big (not huge) map offering so much to explore, even offering different seasons that are tied to the main story, each with its own beautifully done colours and lightings, be it spring flowers, autumn leaves and halloween pumpkins or heavy snow in winter. Love it.

All of this is perfectly framed with an awesome soundtrack. It's like an orchestra is playing for you only. Maybe just some additional tracks for certain spots would be nice - like Hogsmeade. Why not make it spooky during Halloween or some jingles during winter? Also spoken voices are well done (speaking for the German version) and fit their characters well.

Concerning difficulty I played everything on "normal" setting so far and especially in the beginning it took quite some time to get used to the mechanics. Whoever thinks auto-targetting makes fighting a breeze is wrong. It can be rather challenging and the number of spells, plants and potions that can be used for fights causes a rather steep learning curve - at least for me. My suggestion is to take time for side quests, enjoy the world, level up, improve the armour and bit by bit progress with the main story line.

Now, what's bad about HL? There's not much to say TBH. There're very few bugs; once a fight wouldn't end after leaving the forbidden forrest causing quicktravel to not work, another time I dove into a cave only to fly up afterwards being stuck to the caves ceiling. But that happened just once, all good. Performance is totally fine on my 2023 rig averaging in 4k at 60fps. If I could place wishes I would have wanted more challenging riddles and more differences in the treasure caves. Also I would've wished to find some more "unique" objects in treasure chests, not just stuff to enhance the main characters optics.

All in all I love this game, enjoying every minute in it. I'm the type of player who can play hours just running around, searching Merlins Puzzles (done all of them) or find old magic or open the last treasure cave in between needed steps of the main story. Especially the main story brings so much joy and even after 50 hours of playing nice surprises. Been a damn good buy.

Lovely graphics
Orchestral soundtrack
Really nice main story
steep learning curve for fights
some puzzles could be less repetitive

Hogwarts Legacy is a spellbinding journey into the wizarding world that kept me captivated for over 45 hours. Set in the iconic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this game lets you live out your magical fantasies in an open-world setting.

First and foremost, the attention to detail in recreating the Hogwarts castle and its surroundings is truly impressive. Exploring the familiar locations from the books and movies is a nostalgic delight. The game's graphics are stunning, bringing the wizarding world to life with lush environments and well-designed characters.

The freedom to create your own wizard or witch and shape their destiny is a highlight. From choosing your house to selecting your wand, every decision feels meaningful. The RPG elements are well-implemented, and character progression is satisfying, offering various spells and abilities to master.

The story, while enjoyable, did leave me wanting more. It felt a bit rushed in places, and I wished for deeper character development and a more complex plot. However, the side quests and interactions with iconic characters from the series add depth to the narrative.

Now, let's talk about the combat. This is where Hogwarts Legacy falls a bit short. The combat system is serviceable but lacks the depth and excitement one would hope for in a magical world. It can feel repetitive and somewhat uninspired, which is a missed opportunity in a game centered around magic and dueling.

Despite these shortcomings, the game's world-building and attention to detail shine through. The side activities, such as brewing potions and taming magical creatures, offer a well-rounded experience beyond the main storyline.

In summary, Hogwarts Legacy is a magical journey that captures the essence of the wizarding world. While the combat may be lackluster and the story somewhat short, the game excels in creating an immersive Hogwarts experience. With room for improvement in future updates or sequels, this game earns a solid 8.5 out of 10 from me. I'm eager to see what more can be added to enhance this already enchanting adventure.

Hogwarts Legacy is the perfect Harry Potter fans game. I really enjoyed play this game. It allows us to discover in details the world of Hogwarts and its surroundings. But the negative point is that for make the game at 100%, it's long and the quests are really repetitive.

Good story
Open world
Magic world
Repetitive quests
Long to have the 100%

2023-05-08T13:17:16-0400

It´s really beutifull and there´s a ton to do such as explore and find loot or kill dark wizards or monsters and you can learn relly cool locking spells and instant death ones wich is just plain cruel toward your enemies

beutifull graphics
lot´s to do and explore

Hogwarts Legacy is an upcoming action role-playing video game set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the game is set in the late 1800s and allows players to create their own character and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The game promises to offer players a chance to explore the wizarding world like never before, with an open-world environment filled with magical creatures and mysterious locations

2023-04-27T10:46:35-0400

Overall, I've had a nice experience. I did 100% of the game.

The story is nice, characters are nice and fight's mechanics are good. However, dialogue's options are shallow, they lack intensity (even when choosing "evil" dialogue option, you never are as mean as you would think or the option let you think) and the rare lesson we have are boring.

Nice for fan of the franchise, we keep the universe without over using what we already know
Fight's mechanics are nice and bring something new HOWEVER, it quickly become boring or too easy
Graphics and performance are very good
World empty without much event, we always do the same thing
Not much students inside the school or characters in general, the world lacks population
No school life, our chracter could be anyone. The narative about being a students could easily be overlooked

2023-04-25T09:46:21-0400

The game does what it was supposed to do: please Harry Potter fans.

It's not an unforgettable game, the plot is a bit simple and messy, fight dynamics are alright, there are a lot of collectibles and repetitive side quests, the main character is not interesting.

You'll mostly be happy to wander around Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, to fly on a broom, gather fantastic beasts to take care of them, and stumble upon many references to the wizarding world.

I'd say it's a game designed to fit everyone, all types of gamers and even people who don't play video games, which is why it feels a bit "simple" or impersonal.

the open world looks great
fight dynamic is interesting
some fun features (broom, beasts)
plot is messy
side quests become repetitive
feels a bit like an elaborate mobile game

I was relatively surprised to find out that my mid-range computer with parts from 2015 can run this at a good frame rate (between 70 and 90 fps), albeit at the lowest possible settings. Games fun, always wanted to explore the world like this. I got the game at a good price on here, I suggest waiting to do the same tbh.

2025-02-16T13:03:59-0500

This game feels like a fan service, so great to explore hogwarts in a game finnaly, unfortunatly the main quest feels like it is lacking, feels empty and predictable, the side story from the slitherin guy was better.
Some caves will have the same layouts...
100% achievements is a pain to get.
overall i recommend it, it is fun but dont expect a 10/10 experience

Side stories are better than the main story
Good character creation, music, ambience, etc
Fun combat and easy to play in PC, if you are playing with a controller youll be 75% more slow bc of the controls adapt
Story is not that great
Full achievements takes some real good time to finish
Mounts cannot be the same from your Animal Sanctuary, theres no connection from the 2

Very entertaining and emmersive!

One of the best games I've played. The puzzles in the story are fun, engaging and not too difficult to solve. The atmosphere of Harry Potter is well portrayed giving the player his or her own experience and choices which shape your character. Moving around the world is great with multiple different options, like flying on a broom or mount and even riding a mount on the ground. Combat is smooth, yet busy however you can do things at your own pace. Overall a great game and I've waited too long to experience it myself.

2025-01-18T12:04:25-0500

Has so many things to do in this game, if you are a Harry Potter fan this def is a good purchase.

the game is incredible for an open world but it is still an unfinished product , your choices don't really affect the story in any way except sebastian fate which is disapointing , i hoped of a morality system , which your actions really define the ending you get , the game overall needed more time to be fully enjoyable

open world
enjoyable
boring just fights
needs a system of morality and classes system
needs more work overall
