Recommended Posts

Score: 10/10

 

Hogwarts Legacy is the latest and highly anticipated video game set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Developed by Avalanche Software, the game promises to be an immersive experience, allowing players to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, explore the nearby wizarding world, and cast many familiar spells along the way as they embark on an exciting adventure.

One of the most striking features of Hogwarts Legacy is its stunning graphics. The game showcases stunningly detailed environments, character models, and magical effects that truly bring the world of Harry Potter to life. The game's visuals are breathtaking, with incredibly detailed environments, lifelike characters, and special effects that make it feel as if you are there. From the castle's grand halls to the Forbidden Forest's dense trees, every aspect of the game's design is crafted with care, making players feel as though they're truly part of the world of Harry Potter's Wizarding World. There are other iconic locations from the series as well, all of which have been carefully crafted with intricate details. 

The character models are equally impressive, with each character possessing a unique and distinct look that accurately reflects what we would imagine people of the Wizarding World would look like in the 19th century. The player character is decently customizable, allowing players to choose their appearance, their wizarding house, and their wands, further adding to the immersive experience. The magical effects are simply mesmerizing, with spell casting and duels between characters featuring visually stunning displays of magic that are truly a feast for the eyes.

In addition to its impressive graphics, Hogwarts Legacy also offers a rich storyline, filled with mystery, intrigue, and magic. Players can choose to play as a student of any house if they don't like the sorting hat's recommendation, with no fear of the story changing, and having only the choices they make throughout the game determine their fate. With spells to learn, creatures to battle, and puzzles to solve, there won't be a dull moment.

Hogwarts Legacy is a game that's sure to excite and captivate players of all ages. With its breathtaking graphics, engaging storyline, and magical gameplay, it's a must-play for anyone who loves the world of Harry Potter. So grab your wand and let's journey to the Wizarding World.

@TerribleChild has been playing on his PS5.  Seems like we finally got a good game set in the HP universe after years of bland games that failed to capture the magic of the first few.

They nailed the wand's magic visuals. I can't wait to see what they do with DLC's later on. Or if they decide to add a sequel.

From what I've watched so far it's a great action adventure adaptation of the last few movie's fight pacing while incorporation beloved classic spells from the franchise.  Shame it's catching flak for one old lady's opinions on things, the game at it's core is good and deserves way less hate.

Minor flak in the grand scheme of things thankfully. It's like boycotting VW because of Hitler, or boycotting Bayers for doing business with the Nazi party. As long as she continues to not have any consulting input on the games moving forward then they can keep the Wizarding World clean of the drama and hate.

Works been crazy so I just saw this. I have also been loving the game and have been enjoying their approach to spell combat. It's also the best selling game so I'm looking forward to the inevitable DLCs and sequal. As a debut AAA game from a studio I agree with the 10/10.

I saw that the PC version may be getting a mod for that but I haven't seen anything from any of the official sources or in the community members that may know

I think it was the same team behind the Skyrim Together project so some pretty experienced people in the modding community taking a look at it.

I watched some gameplay on this yesterday and it looks great but after doing a little research I found that it’s only single player. Anyone know if there’s any talk of making it MMO or even co-op?

I feel like that's a total fail for this game.  It's the perfect game for co-op at the LEAST.

More games really need the drop in drop out coop of the Borderlands franchise.

Co-op at a minimum would have elevated this game to the skies. I feel like adding that would have extended the games release. 

 

My hopes are that they decided to forgo co-op and will add it to a sequel or a DLC. 

 

I have always wanted a game based in the Wizarsing World, and not just Hogwarts. This is just the beginning I hope.

Imagine if they ever decide to leave England, There's gotta be way crazier stuff out there.  Let me see some wizards in Africa fighting mummies.  Or keeping magical beasts from decimating nature reserves.
