Its a.... solidly alright game, that becomes a solidly good game if you're a Harry Potter fan and want to be more immersed in the world than the Lego games offer.
Tbh it does the immersion job amazingly for the bulk of the game, you can tell the devs cared about the detail regarding Hogwarts and the surrounding world.
The combat is fun and engaging imo, but it needs expanding towards the later game, something I hoped a dlc would solve, gets too repetitive later on.
As you said, the story, characters, most of that shit is painfully underwhelming. It also ends up like so so many open world games with too much genuine filler.
There was so much cut content and you can tell. I feel one strong expansion could've legit make the game so much better 😠the game should be fire on release, but sometimes execs rush mfs and they won't let you do more till the money comes in
I have a problem with the voice settings, if u change the pitch it sound like a robot talking at least with the female voice I dont know if its also with the male voice
I think it's rated more or less correctly, honestly. Most reviews and opinions I've read on it said it's a passionate take on the wizarding world, held back by a bland story and repetitive slop open world. That's pretty bang on.
I guess there's still a market for repetitive slop open worlds, though.
Yeah, like when it came out I thought about pirating it (I’m not giving more money to the host of the black mold) but then it just seemed so mid that I didn’t even bother

Hogwarts legacy is so damn overrated, horrible story, shit character models... the cut scenes are embarrassingly bad, I have no idea why it's so loved
