is this game good? im confused...

[ERIK X]

so the reviews are very positive but everyone says the game is boring and repetitive :))) so wtf help me a bit

[dtt.scanner]

For me, taking my time makes the game more interesting. I play to be a student at Hogwarts, and enjoy the environment. Why race to the finish?

If you want a real achievement, try playing without using the quest directions. Don't select quests for the map directions, just do them by finding your own way. Using the floo is fine... it's part of the lore... but you have to figure out the destination. Memorize the school layout and look for the people that you need to talk to, without tips. By the time you learn your way without a compass, you will feel like you have spent a year at Hogwarts.

I just wish that you actually had to use your room for something. I only ever need to use the Room of Requirement, which basically replaces the need for your dorm room (since you never have to sleep.) The only reason I ever went to the House Common Room was to do the Daedalean key tokens.

Short answer:
80% - for beeing a rock solid RPG game
15% - for absolutely fantastic Hogwarts feeling
-5% - for some performance and stability issues
+5% - because it reliably annoys racists and trans-phobes ;-)
====
95% overall, if you love the Harry Potter Universe!

The game is fun for the first few hours. But you soon realize the game is nothing above mediocre in any way. Besides the Hogwarts feel. Very simple and repetitive combat, loot, enemy types, open world aspect. Not that they’re bad they’re just very mediocre and that’s that. The game is a 6/10 at most

Kinda like all games

Its literally one of the best games this year

It's interesting for the first hour or so to walk around in Hogwart's but... then the cracks start to show. Magic is very, very repetitive and the castle's windy passages get old fast.

The fact that this won an award for best on Steam Deck is... very suspicious considering there are AAA games that came out this year that are on Steam Deck and are far, far better objectively.

If you don't like or enjoy aspects of 'open world' games then it will likely be on the more repetitive scale for you (and may be worth skipping). Difficult to say what someone will or won't like.

For me - I'd say it ranged from above average to good. My son and I both had fun with it - so it was worth the purchase for us. *shrug*

Watch a video or two and see if it offers enough of the aspects you enjoy in games. If it does, then I'd recommend getting it (especially with this sale).

[ZugZug]

Definitely worth 30e.

[aseinsha]

The only thing that sucks about this game is the forced diversity which is somewhat fixable through mods.

TLDR: Only buy it on sale even then maybe get a dirt cheap cd key from somewhere, is a mediocre story and a little bland on the whole.

Hogwarts Legacy is NOT an rpg. It's an action adventure game with puzzles, anyone who says otherwise should be completely ignored, they don't know how game genres work. There is no choice other that your house which gives one quest of no importance. It's like calling Just Cause an rpg it's not, has been and never will be.

Speaking of Just Cause. Hogwarts Legacy is Just Cause with magic and none of the charisma, it also has a worse story with no interesting side quests all fetch quests or buggy (when i played) kill quests, some puzzles that are laughably easy, and a hamfisted level requirement to progress. The magic is a joke, annoying at the start as you change damage type in the brain dead UI, then you just get forbidden insta-kill magic and boom enemies are a joke, it's meant to be evil magic no one should use but ♥♥♥♥ me the idea of not using it is stupid when there is no repercussions.

I could pick this game apart for hours but as a none harry potter fanboy it's not worth it and even then go buy Lego Harry Potter it is way better. Hell even at it's best the game is only good not great how it got any awards is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beyond me, it is not worthy of any of them not even close but I put that down to harry potter fans spam voting.

[cura noob]

It is good, it's a beautiful game. I like the Harry Potter universe and the exploration, kinda repetitive yeah no the dialogues makes me feel like I'm 12yo yeah but I'm really enjoyin the game rn 20 hours and barely touched the campaign

[Yuriqa]

Game is mediocore...

There is no Quidditch so no...

Maybe they do some DLCs?

I could gladly link my PSN account where I own the game on if you would like. I bought it as a day one release. And I was severely disappointed with how bland the game really was.

No?

Enjoyed it so far. If you like open world games with lots to do hopefully you'll enjoy it. I've found it similar in parts to the newest Tomb Raider series.
