Really enjoyed the limited school side of the game..

*Hint, hint...*

"it's not supposed to be a Hogwarts simulator" Yeah, sadly that's pretty obvious during the game that's titled "Hogwarts Legacy".

I felt the game was the strongest at the beginning where you are sorted into your house, getting school supplies, and actually going to classes because that is what makes Harry Potter so unique is Hogwarts! Other than more companion interactions and adding more RP game play to feel like actual student I would want any future content to focus more on the school. Just my two cents.

In all seriousness it was amazing seeing Hogwarts and it's surrounding in such detail. The game play was fun enough, although it did start losing traction about mid way due to repetitiveness. Given the current state of the gaming industry I was expecting a lot worse, so bravo devs.

While I agree with you some what. I wished for a little more school.
I liked the learning spell mini game. I would have also liked maybe a 'cooking mama' like mini game for potions. and maybe a little more viva pinata type stuff with the beast mechanic.

I wished we could have integrated more into the school, i know there is a huge set of stories but the school should have played a larger part imo.

I would enjoy a potions mini game. It's surprising that using magic to unlock locks has a mini game, but potions do not.

I find the school to be to much. There is so much I have not done in the school, it's just a cluster of confusion. In a cool way at times, but I would rather be on my broom exploring and finding things in the open world.

To create an open world game were it's almost all Hogwarts, the school would have to be MASSIVE. I just don't see how that would work with this style of game.

Most likely because you can make potions yourself rapidly and i assume people would get sick of the minigame pretty fast if they just want to make like 20 wiggenweld potions.

I agree with the post opener. Also there is really no time flow. There is day and night, but I've got no idea what triggers the change. There is nothing like on Mondays at 9am I've got to go to potions. The houses common rooms and sleeping rooms are just cosmetic. Nobody really needs to go there for any reason (except for one quest which you really don't need to do). The houses generally are just cosmetics - they don't have any real influence on the story. So in many aspects the game falls short. There are however lots of strong features, too.

Nevertheless I'd would like a Hogwarts game much more to be like a simulation, to be honest.
