Critic reviews
- 8.0GREAT While it doesn’t introduce new content, the Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy is a significant upgrade over the Switch 1 version.
- The success of Hogwarts Legacy clearly shows that good sales and warm feedback from players are ensured not so much by the gameplay thought out to the smallest detail but by carefully reproducing the right atmosphere. But this is already a subtle moment, akin to real magic, and here the nameless developers of Avalanche Software succeeded.
- 9.0What is so enjoyable about the game is how it allows players to be immersed in the lore without being hampered by having to adhere to the events of the books and films. There are more than a few subtle and not so subtle nods to the universe to allow for a connection but still have the freedom to explore new characters and experiences.

Explore the magical world
The title explained it already. You can explore not only Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. But also the surrounding villages, fields, caves, and of course The Forbidden Forrest. Lots of collectibles, secret, easter eggs. Not a difficult game, easy to learn. A new gamer can easily beat this game. The only downside for this game is there's no punishment system. If you're a Harry Potter's fan of course you know there is a curfew system in Hogwarts, and detention, also taking house points from student. Well, there's no such thing like those in here. And yes, no house point system too.

GOTY SO GOOD !!!
A dream come true as a Potterhead!
Oh my goodness, I'm completely smitten by Hogwarts Legacy! As a lifelong Harry Potter fan, being able to explore the magical world of Hogwarts in this game is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell you everything! Let's start with the visuals. Wow, just wow. The artistry in this game is breathtaking. From the intricate details of the Hogwarts houses to the vibrant landscapes of the Forbidden Forest, every detail of this game is a visual feast. The technical merit is also impressive; the graphics and animations are flawless, resulting in a seamless and immersive gaming experience. And don't even get me started on the sound design. The music is simply enchanting, perfectly capturing the spirit of the Harry Potter universe. The soaring orchestral pieces had me humming along and the haunting vocals gave me chills. The sound effects and voice acting are also excellent. With realistic and immersive sound effects, every spell, potion, and magical creature comes to life, and the voice actors do an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. Hogwarts Legacy's interaction is equally impressive. The controls and interface are simple and straightforward, allowing for fluid and seamless gameplay. And the game is playable by a wide range of players, with the ability to adjust the difficulty level and various accessibility features such as subtitles and closed captions. The game mechanics are engaging and entertaining, with a variety of different activities and challenges to keep players entertained. I had a great time exploring the open world of Hogwarts and its environs, attending classes, casting spells, brewing potions, and participating in duels and other challenges. And the feedback system is superbly designed, providing clear and helpful guidance on how to improve your skills and advance through the game. But it's the heart that truly distinguishes Hogwarts Legacy. The narrative is engrossing and draws you into the world of Hogwarts and the wider wizarding world. The story features a range of interesting and well-developed characters, and the choices you make throughout the game have real consequences for the plot. And the game captures the essence of the Harry Potter universe, with themes of friendship, courage, and loyalty woven throughout the story. The common rooms in Hogwarts Legacy are seriously something else! Each one is so unique and beautiful, with its own distinct personality and charm. I was completely blown away by the attention to detail and the incredible design work that went into creating these spaces. Let's start with Gryffindor. The Gryffindor common room is everything I hoped it would be – cozy, warm, and full of character. The room is dominated by a roaring fireplace, surrounded by comfortable armchairs and plush sofas. The walls are lined with portraits of famous Gryffindors, and the room is decorated with red and gold accents. It really feels like a home away from home for brave and daring Gryffindors. Next up is Ravenclaw. The Ravenclaw common room is simply stunning – it's located in a circular tower with a beautiful domed ceiling that's painted with stars and constellations. The walls are lined with bookshelves, and the room is filled with comfortable reading chairs and tables. The overall effect is incredibly elegant and intellectual, reflecting the wit and wisdom of Ravenclaw students. Then there's Hufflepuff. The Hufflepuff common room is bright and cheerful, with a sunny yellow and black color scheme. The room is located in a cozy nook near the kitchens, and it's decorated with plants, tapestries, and comfortable seating. The overall effect is warm and welcoming, reflecting the kindness and loyalty of Hufflepuff students. Last but not least is Slytherin. The Slytherin common room is a bit more austere than the others, but it's still incredibly impressive. The room is located in the dungeons beneath Hogwarts, and it features low ceilings, green and silver accents, and a roaring fireplace. The overall effect is dark and mysterious, reflecting the ambition and cunning of Slytherin students. Overall, I was completely blown away by the interior common rooms in Hogwarts Legacy. Each one is so unique and beautiful, reflecting the distinct personality and values of its respective house. I can't wait to spend more time exploring these spaces and immersing myself in the world of Hogwarts! I am overjoyed to have played Hogwarts Legacy! This game was a dream come true for me as a Potterhead. Everything about this game is fantastic, from the stunning visuals and sound design to the intriguing characters and quests. The game's attention to detail is incredible, and it's clear that the developers put a lot of thought and care into every aspect of it. Character side quests were especially enjoyable for me because they allowed me to delve into the lives of Hogwarts students and immerse myself even further in the magical world. Hogwarts Legacy is an early contender for game of the year in my opinion. This game stands out in the gaming world due to its exceptional storytelling, immersive gameplay, and overall sense of wonder and magic. The Hogwarts experience was truly immersive and enjoyable, and I can't wait to see what adventures the wizarding world has in store for us in the future. Finally, I strongly recommend Hogwarts Legacy to any Potterhead or gamer seeking a truly magical experience. This game has exceeded my expectations by bringing the world of Hogwarts to life in a new and exciting way.
