Hogwarts Legacy

Terrible game optimization. It's been almost a year since Hogwarts Legacy was released on PC. The release itself was plagued with constant bugs, glitches, low fps, and more, so I didn't buy the game at the time.

I was hoping that the situation would improve over time, and my expectations took a year. And no, the situation hasn't improved.

On my PC, which, although not the most high-end possible, is included in it, the game worked fine at 100-120 frames on Ultra preset... until I got to Howards itself. Regular FPS drops of up to 30 frames when using Revelio are unbearable. Constant FPS drops when visiting new locations are the same.

"Thank you" to the developers of this game for the “wonderful” optimisation of the game, which completely spoils the experience.

As much as I wanted to enjoy this game, I found it massively disappointing. The "mystery" of exploring the open world is really quickly gone when you can just hop on a broomstick and fly in a straight line to whichever POI you want. The puzzles are tedious and lack creativity, I was often shocked by how puzzles were simply "brute forced" and required no tact.

The immersion is mediocre, especially once you learn the Unforgiveable curses - kinda hard to LARP when you (a teenage Hogwarts student) can just sling Crucio around on a whim. It feels like there are no real consequences for any of your actions, which makes the game much less enjoyable.

The combat itself can be fun and entertaining, and there's a solid (but unspectacular) array of spells for you to play around with - OR you could just smack everyone with a killing curse and call it a day.

I rarely find an RPG this disappointing, I'm usually very easily satisfied by games. Some of the disappointment probably comes from a love for the books/movies, but definitely not all. Overall it's an okay game to get on sale - if there's nothing else you're remotely interested in playing.

I wish there was an option to give a neutral review. I'd give this about a 6/10, but I can't recommend it.

Zero depth in the story, combat is repetitive and frustrating, characters are bland. It feels like you're playing the game equivalent of a rollercoaster.

If you're a massive Harry Potter fan and not much of a gamer, you'll probably love it.

Great breadth, not much depth. I think this is the best way to describe this game.

Game mechanics are good and the world is big and I personally found fun to explore (especially the castle itself). My main criticism is that they should have made the world a little smaller and focused that time on more characters and interesting quests. That's not to say there aren't good quests in the game - there are - it's just that there aren't enough of them.

Basically, I wouldn't get the game at full price - at the time of my review it's on a 75% sale which I absolutely think is worth it, and at 50% sale I still think it's worth getting, but not at full price. I do hope they make another one of these and will have the time and resources to focus on some depth - I personally think the actual layout and design of the world is already perfect, it just needs to be populated a little more.

It's a shallow movieset, not a game. Visually stunning, but no depth. Open world is dull and monotonous. Hogwarts is lifeless and empty. No NPC interactions, no heat for casting unforgiveable curses, no classes, no immersion, you're a visitor in a movie set of Hogwarts. A disneyland tour of sorts. Nothing particularly innovative gameplay-wise either. Without the Harry Potter label, this is just another generic open world RPG.

Only reason this game is this successful is because there are no other modern Harry Potter games. If EA or Ubisoft released this, it would be the subject of 100s of videos on Youtube about everything wrong with the modern gaming industry.

It's just boring. Could have been great but a few hours in and you're basically bored. Mundane fetch quests, more fetch quests, and same stuff over and over. Don't buy it. Save your money.

i loved the graphics, loved all the spells, loved the mounts, loved the exploring. the combat was okay, but the STORY... as someone who likes a good story i cannot recommend this game. but if you are just a fan of the hp universe and just wanna explore then i can recommend this game!

Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive open-world RPG that brings the Wizarding World to life. Set in the 1800s, it lets players craft their own magical story within the halls of Hogwarts and beyond.

Highlights:

Stunning world-building with detailed locations like Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the Forbidden Forest.
Intuitive combat system featuring spells, potions, and duels.
Extensive customization options and engaging side quests.
Drawbacks:

Occasional technical glitches and frame rate drops.
Some repetitive tasks.
Verdict: A dream come true for Harry Potter fans, Hogwarts Legacy delivers an enchanting experience, blending exploration, combat, and storytelling. Despite minor flaws, it’s a must-play for fans and RPG lovers.

Not very far in the game right now, but I have to say, Fuck this game. I start the game, ready to play, and an ad for Lego pops up. I don't care about your harry potter Lego. It's a 20+ year old franchise. I know you have Lego somewhere, if I care I'll buy some. The most offensive thing is that I paid for the game, and you're advertising to me as if it's a free-to-play jam. Stop it. Treat your paying customers like paying customers.

full screen ads upon loading a paid game are kinda a bit too much

Game is amazing but now it started to display ads before the game and in menu. This is f ridiculus. You pay 70e to watch ads?

If you're just starting to play, I recommend using a female character because the animations throughout the gameplay and the speaking style all make sense.

If you create a male character, no matter how scary you make him, his movements, his sounding and animation will look like a female's.

This is just my opinion, no offense.

The game hasn't properly run since June of this year. A small update, adding a few tiny cosmetic improvements to the game, was the beginning of the end. The game, DOESN'T WORK. It's unplayable. It crashes immediately upon launch, attempting to use massive amounts of RAM until it is manually stopped with Task Manager, or the whole system freezes up, and a manual reset becomes necessary.

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR!!! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

The problems have been reported over and over by numerous owners of this title, and the Devs are ignoring the reports. Do not allow yourself to be ripped off like the rest of us.

For anyone who’s ever dreamed of being a Hogwarts student, Hogwarts Legacy is everything you could hope for. It’s a beautifully crafted, immersive game that lets you live out your wizarding fantasy. I’d highly recommend it to fans and newcomers alike—it’s been one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in a long time.

it gets real boring, real fast. The world is massive, but there is very little to do. I think they should have focused on giving us more to do other than increasing the size of the map.

Fantastic game

Its sad to see it stutters and lags everwhere with a RTX 4090 , 64 GB OF RAM and AMD 9800x3d

The game is fun, but it’s practically unplayable due to massive stuttering, even on high-end specs. It was only playable thanks to the fix provided by reddit user xJespioh, who basically saved the experience with their patch. The developers' support for this game is disappointing. Such a shame, tsc tsc tsc...

This game was okay for the first 30 hours then once you learn all the spell and get out into the open world you will be bored to tears. The only thing this game has going for it is the HP lore other then that it's not a good game.

I played this game for 40+ hours and i like game overall only what i dont like is there is lack of story becuase you learn last spell allmost at end of story line and doing side quest is very boring in most cases

A Potterhead dream, it has everything you could have asked for. Magical combats and actually attending Hogwarts classes as a student. Absolutely loving this game so far.

This could be a really great game, but its complete lack of direction ruins the whole experience. Fundamental mechanics and presentation are not bad - it's incredibly fun to run around and explore. The game world is incredibly detailed and superbly presented, and I'm constantly wowed by the fact that I can just walk through any door.

However, the game's design then stops any sense of discovery or accomplishment with a level of hand-holding that's so extreme that even when I figure out the solution to a puzzle, I'm forced to backtrack to a point where the player character exclaims that this is where the puzzle is and a bunch of way markers show up that leads to exactly the same solution that I came up with - only now the puzzle's solution can arbitrarily be activated because I followed the slavish path that some greasy, fat designer intended. This crap is constant through the game, and the de-facto majority of gameplay becomes following NPCS that spit lines at you, while getting a kill-timer if you veer to far off the designated path.

On top of the handholding that directly prevents meaningful exploration, you have the apparently mandatory, arbitrary levels and equipment spam that seems to be prevalent in every AAA-published game these days and that make any actual rewards for exploration turn into a generic grey sludge. Items are replaced constantly with minor upgrades and can have their appearance swapped at will so they are effectively just stat-sticks anyway. At the end of the day it's primarily the player and enemy level difference that affects damage dealt and taken so the vast majority of items are just clutter anyway.

I want to explore, and the game world invites exploration, but the game design not only lacks tangible. meaningful rewards for exploration, but actively prevents it with overbearing hand-holding.

graphics are amazing
good exploration

Overall 8/10 good to get on sale

The spell-based combat is engaging, and the detailed recreation of Hogwarts and its surroundings is a dream for fans. While the story and side quests can feel predictable at times, the overall experience captures the wonder of being a Hogwarts student. It’s a must-play for Harry Potter fans and a solid adventure for RPG enthusiasts alike.

Hogwarts Legacy is a magical, immersive experience perfect for Harry Potter fans, with stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and a rich story. However, it requires a powerful gaming PC or next-gen console to avoid performance issues.

Pros: Beautiful world, fun combat, great story.
Cons: Demanding on hardware.
Rating: 9/10

TL;DR: Charming for the first few hours, a slog towards the end.

PROS
- Exploration was done well. Locations (especially Hogwarts Castle) are interspersed with secret rooms, hidden treasure chests and puzzles.
- Graphics were good looking. Scenery was beautiful.
- While combat was generally simple, it was fun to experiment with different spell combinations and chains.

CONS
- Your actions have little to no consequence. It doesn't matter if you extort people form money, learn dark arts or choose the bad ending - it makes little difference to outcomes and how other NPCs treat you.
- Too much repetition for meaningless tasks e.g. merlin trials, clearing bandit camps for rewards you likely wouldn't need mid - end game.
- Most side missions are bland.
- Dialogue is lackluster and very PG.

If you're from a younger demographic, or haven't had much experience with RPG games, go for it!
Don't feel the urge to complete all challenges or clear the map - you will get burnt out from the meaningless repetition. Spend time getting just what you need, and use the rest of it to live your real life.

Great game but terribly optimised for PC.

Terrible stuttering and lag, especially inside Hogwarts. It doesn't matter whether you play on Ultra (which my PC should easily handle) or Low.

You'll get insane RAM usage up to the max. Seems to be a universal problem that still hasn't been fixed. This made me quit the game after a couple of hours as it's just not enjoyable like this.

Publishing games in such a state should be illegal.

One of the best games I have ever played, I have bought this game on the PC, PlayStation and Xbox sadly my computer cannot run it on my current specs otherwise I’d have probably over hundreds of hours in it already and all achievements like I do on the Xbox and PlayStation however getting a new computer soon so that should change 10/10 would definitely recommend to play

this game is a total masterpiece, i think its going to be my favourite one for a really long time.
graphics and design are both fantastic, when i play it i feel like im in Hogwarts for real, the details of everything are just perfect. and one of the best things in this game, its that its an open world game. you can travel all the time, fly on your broom, go sightseeing all of the areas, and by travelling you can discover new side tasks that are creative and very fun to do.
i think lore is great, but Sebastians story line is my favourite indeed, its really touching.
when i saw this game i thought at first that its going to follow all of the Harry Potters Saga plot, but THIS, this is incredible. i love how you can custom your own character (althought it doesnt have many options and i'd love to see it more extended someday), and the whole new plot is amazing. i like it so much how you can go to classes and i think its one of the best things, just like collecting things for your guide book that you have. well, i'd love to play a game just like Hogwarts Legacy, that would have the HP plot.
personally i think it's worth the price and i strongly recommend it. i assure that when you will play this game you wont be able to stop playing!!

It's just okay. It looks really nice, but replay value is very low. Also, very anti climactic on rewards from accomplishments. 3 stars out of 5.

Was into it until it was completely ruined by the game telling me I couldn't name my beast "Punky" even though he has a sick purple mohawk. Naming restrictions in an offline single player game is one of the dumbest possible decisions made for literally zero gain I could come up with, congrats to the devs. 0/10 Let me name my damn Mooncalf Punky, would refund if I could.

This game is extremely boring, only can recommend to die hard HP fans. Open world is recycled with nothing to really explore, boring story line with no memorable characters, your main character feels like an NPC with a monotone voice, there are lack of choices in the game and theres no actual good loot making leveling up boring. The main reason this game had monetary success is cause it has Hogwarts in its name. Would only recommend this game if its sale

Honestly one of my favorite games ever. There are no words to describe how beautiful this game is, there are plenty of things to be done and it has a good story (super short, tho). You can also pet the cats and interact with the beasts which makes it even cuter.

If you love Harry Potter, this game is a must.<3

The game is good, but not good enough to ignore the lousy PC port and optimization. I have a keyboard and a mouse with numerous side buttons (more than a controller does), I shouldn't have to switch between spell sets to play properly, that is a CONSOLE limitation and I'm on PC for this very reason. The story is fine, though the only interesting character is Sebastian. The game is fairly easy and forgiving even on the highest difficulty, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, though it does get repetitive fairly quickly. The graphics are gorgeous at the very least.

Only buy this if it's on sale.

Harry Potter books first appeared when I was still in grade school and I really loved them, especially the earlier ones. When Hogwarts Legacy was announced, I was thrilled by the prospect of going to classes and learning magic like a Hogwarts student, but I lacked hardware to run the game properly. With the acquisition of a new rig, the time has finally come.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG in the Harry Potter universe, only the story takes place by the end of 19th century (about a hundred years before the books). You play a role of a new student coming to join Hogwarts as a fifth-year, something that is uncommon to say the least. All of the school staff is happy to lend you a hand with learning new spells and catching up to your fellow students. As you get the know the wizarding world and your peers at the school, you become involuntarily dragged into events that will shape the future of Hogwarts, if not the world itself.
The first thing that struck me about this game are the amazing graphics. From the meticulously crafted rich indoors to beautiful outdoors, Hogwarts Legacy is absolutely stunning. Incredibly realistic gestures and facial expressions, accompanied by great voice-acting make the characters in game seem almost like real people. A fitting music score rounds up the presentation aspect of the game nicely.
As far as open-world RPGs go, Hogwarts Legacy is slightly different from all the others. Instead of endless legions of enemies and dungeons, the developers decided to focus on puzzles and collectibles. As you progress through the story and complete quests, you'll learn new spells and unlock entirely new aspects of the game. Although almost any spell can be used in combat, they also have a practical use in the open world. You'll be able to pull, push and levitate things, burn through cobwebs and foliage, as well as many other effects that will help you solve numerous puzzles scattered throughout the game. By solving those puzzles, you'll get new gear and complete challenges, which in turn awards experience. Speaking of experience, you won't get any by killing enemies. The only thing that gets you levels in this game is completing challenges, so in order to reach the maximum level you'll have to complete each and every challenge. However, don't think this is a puzzle game, there's still plenty of action. Combat is fun and dynamic, on par with the best action games out there. You'll be forced to combine different spells all the time, which keeps combat from becoming repetitive and player from becoming complacent with it.
This all sounds sweet and good, but Hogwarts Legacy isn't perfect. To put it bluntly - main storyline is solid, but could have been better. I wish there were more side quests, since the game certainly has means enough to house them. The puzzles should also have more variety, as you'll soon learn how to solve them all and then it's just repetition time. I don't often say this, but this game could have benefited a lot from a content-oriented DLC, which we'll unfortunately never see.

As I said before, Hogwarts Legacy is a beautiful game. I would recommend it to anyone, even to people who didn't particularly enjoy Harry Potter books and movies.

Score (out of 10):

9

Harry Potter was childhood, and is still a comfort-universe for me. Much is lacking in terms of RPG in this game however.

CONS:

A Beautiful Yet Shallow Dive into the Wizarding World

Summary

My Experience

Final Thoughts

TL;DR: The dev really nailed the combat and the map/world, but the story is a major letdown and really bland! I kept forcing myself to finish this game, which I eventually did even though it took me a really long time. I found myself playing this game on and off, trying to push through the story but constantly getting distracted by other, more interesting and fun games.

While I love the concept and the gameplay is quite enjoyable, it is somewhat lacking in the experience I really wanted from a "Hogwarts" game. That is, to really feel like a student at Hogwarts, go to classes and experience student life, make meaningful choices and establish relationships with fellow students and professors. Instead the experience was a bit disappointing and was more about the outside plot of the "Goblin Uprising" and "Ancient Magic Discovery" associated with our character.

I'd highly recommend this game to people who are looking for an open world game with a somewhat unique combat system using magic, as that is what separates it from other similar games in the adventure RPG genres. However one of the game's many downfalls is requiring you to play in 1080p (windowed) in order to function or otherwise deal with frequent crashes. Apparently the game broke at some point due to an update pushed out by the devs that will never be fixed, and I cannot guarantee that the solution of changing your window size for the game will fix the issue!!

FUСK WB GAMES- Deeply and sincerely.
Just to be completely clear- I didn't care (nor do I still) about controversy regarding the release, I never cared about bloody WB's pathetic attempts to push in some extra adverts for already paid- for product (such as Lego HP, quidditch bs etc.) and let's face it- I could tolerate (just about ) the bugs in gameplay, that persisted for long time. I even (barely, but still) coped with the excuse of a "Optimization", involving the several- minutes pre-loading sequence, with useless cache builder (wth really? I never selected highest setting- what is there to load?). The final nail in the game's Coffin was obviously the crashes that kept persisting through the patches- to the point of having blackscreen until PC auto-reset itself :steamfacepalm:
And in typical manner, the removal of the legit thread in steam forums was later Removed by the mods- all because of incompetent devs' monitoring....
I'm not even talking about a joke that was supposed to be the Fix- by adding 50+ gig of a patch, that "fixed" some issues.
Get screwed, WB. you're drunkier than house elves on xmas.

Let's start with the good parts: this game is gorgeous. It really captures the aethetics of the books/movies and make it feel like a living, breathing magic world. Also, some of the puzzles are.. interesting.

Unfortunately, that's it for the good parts. The rest of the game is either mediocre or right out bad.

The equipment: there is randomization to the equipment you find. But.. they're heavily MMO/Fortnite inspired. They only have a few variations of stats (which you can change, even for the "legendary" items), and they are colour coded in the most generic way possible. Speaking of legendary: by level 5 I had legendary items equipped in every position. You're spammed with legendary gear so you end up just choosing the latest item with green (=better) stats every time.

The other parts of the game, Merlin puzzles, mazes, treasure dungeons, butterflies, etc. are fun for the first few times but then they repeat ad nauseum. They're all the same with a handful of variations.

The actual Hogwarts castle is cool, but it is a maze. If you enjoy living in a maze: good for you! For me it became tiresome real fast and I only used fast travel to get around.

The spells are literally just auto-aiming ranged weapons (combat) or "press A to solve puzzle X" type. I mean.. you have a spell that repairs stuff.. Except, all you do is point it at something broken and press one button. No interaction whatsoever.

The game feels like it's hard aimed at children or the Fortnite generation. The dialogue is embarrassingly vanilla, nothing is challenging you, there's no fail state (if you die nothing happens) and the puzzles are generally intelligence insulting. Hope the next part trusts its players abilities more.

I'm not a fan of Harry Potter. Honestly did not expect this game to be as good as it is. Combat is fun, really thought out combinations. Story is full of references. There's a little of everything here. Stealth? Flying on brooms and mounts, magical beasts. A ton-load of collectibles of different variety.
Would probably like some kind of morality system. Most decisions don't really matter apart from RP value.

Hogwarts Legacy just doesn't capture the core of joy that makes the Harry Potter universe so enchanting. The plot isn't bad, but the dialogues are so boring that it’s hard to stay engaged with the story. As a big fan of the Harry Potter series, I was expecting a lot more magic and wonder from this game.

The fighting system is probably the best thing it has going for it, but the game just doesn’t contain enough enemies to make the most of it. You end up wanting more opportunities to explore this combat system, but the game falls short of delivering that level of enjoyment.
Overall, it feels like a missed opportunity for fans who wanted a more immersive Hogwarts adventure.

This game is extremely beautiful. If you are a Harry Potter fan and ever wanted to explore Hogwarts, this is the game for you. I find myself admiring the school's beauty as I wander its campus. I recommend turning off the mini map and not fast traveling for better immersion.

Decent story, fun and engaging combat, 8/10. Can't wait for DLC!

I really don't understand why this game is so hyped. Anyway, here are a few observations:

The good:
- True potteresque atmosphere, the ability to experience Hogwarts firsthand.
- Reasonably well-written quests. Some of the side-quests are brilliant.
- A large world, with many secrets and puzzles to discover.
- Interesting and engaging combat.
- Intuitive menus and fast-travel.


The bad:
- Absolutely HORRENDOUS PC optimization. Even with Nexus mods and RT off, my RTX 3090Ti had a hard time keeping above 60 frames all the times at 1440p.
- Rudimentary RPG system. Pretty much meaningless dialogue options, talents are also very simple and uninspired.
- Voice acting of the main character (male) was dead. Like an AI. Some of the side characters are not much better.
- Too much filling content - enemy camps, treasure caves, puzzles which get old really quick.
- Meaningless loot, meaningless upgrade system. Why upgrade an item when you can find a better one 10 minutes later?
- Trying too hard to by diverse. You know what I mean.
- Idiotic lock on, which often will lock on a totally different enemy than intended.
- Although there are enemy vulnerabilities, it is rarely possible to exploit them efficiently and you end up just using whatever works and not on cool-down.


Overall, it is not a game I plan on replaying or getting all the achievements. Waste of time.

A bit cartoon-ish than the movies but you gotta love Hogwarts when you're a Harry Potter fan. Go to Hogwarts with the character of your own making and go out at night and kill some spiders in the forbidden forest. love it when you can ride fantastic beasts and magic brooms in an open world but still, no quidditch (too bad).

It is very difficult to rate.

For a start, I believe the fans of Harry Potter could enjoy the game. The world looks good, the magic aswell and combat is pretty well made and fun. Also the open world map, which you can explore, clear enemy camps and do some puzzles involving magic, at the end also do side-quest for some characters in small villages surrounding Hogwarts.
Speaking of which, the map is also maybe too big and quite big portion at the bottom right feels just like a filler without much purpose. Lot of puzzles also get repetetive quite quickly, and whats the worst part is the same cutscene after finishing one, that you can't skip and there is nearly hundred of them.

What is quite bad about this game, is the story. The beginning, when you explore the Hogwarts, visit first lesson is kinda thrilling, but quickly ends. After some kind of introduction you are beginning to spend more time outside of Hogwarts in it, which is kinda ruining the wizard student vibe and I had to take even a little break inbetween 1/3 - 2/3 of the game because how boring it got.
Apart of main story line, you follow stories of 3 students and what isnt boring is Sebastian's story line, which in my opinion should've been what the game is about. I don't want to spoil, but it felt like only part of the story, where characters have deeper development and the "choices" aren't black or white cases. I really wish this was what the game was really about, instead of superhero unbeattable student, who just got into school (its your first year) and shouldn't really feel to be more powerfull than any other character in the game.

What I also deeply miss in the game is some kind of student-like activities. At the end, you are student of Hogwarts, but it doesnt really feel like it for quite big amount of playtime.

Some summary at the end, I recommend the game for people liking Harry Potter universe. I don't recommend the game for people not taking the interest in it, unless they are really into "magic/wizard"-like things, in which case this game looks amazing, graphic and combat wise.

It's not that the game is bad, it just is very meh and has SO MUCH wasted potential. On a technical level, it's very competent, they created a nice looking castle, decent basic mechanics, etc. But for a game called "Hogwarts", you spend remarkable little time there. Instead you are given a myriad of generic open world collectathons, that are all the same thing. Also, there are zero consequences. Perform unforgivable curses directly in front of teachers? Nobody cares. Running in and out of the castle all day and night? Nobody cares. All in all, for a setting so unique, it feels extremely generic and soulless.

It would have been a very different and much more interesting game if ti actually focused much much more on the school, and ditched it's chosen one quest line. Make people go to classes, make people actually slowly level up skills through it, make other students actually matter instead of just being one time quest givers. Make reputation and bad actions actually matter.

Sadly, I don't have much hope for a sequel that actually fixes those flaws, this game just sold way too well.

Don't Bother with the PC Version! Its Tom Riddled with bugs, one of which is a game breaking bug well over a year old, during the Percival Rackham Trial. Instead of bothering to fix it they just keep putting it on sale and hope that mugs like me will buy it!
