About the Game

This game is set in the late 1800s, so there is no overlap with any characters from the movie and book canon, although some of the ghosts you know and love may pop up to guide you on your way – or hinder and delay you, if you annoy them!

Unique – and central – to this game are NCPs (non-playing characters) Victor Rookwood (who is the sort of pre-Voldemort leader of the Dark Wizards – precursors to the Death Eaters), Professor Eleazar Fig who is your form teacher and ally, and the deliciously evil rebellious goblin leader, Ranrok, who trusts no human and especially no wizard!

You are a student about to start your fifth year who transfers to Hogwarts from somewhere else following a mysterious accident. Slowly it emerges that you are the possessor of the key to an ancient secret that could tear the wizarding world apart.

Ranrok hates all wizardkind, but has allied himself with Rookwood in order to get hold of an ancient magic. An ancient magic which is so dangerous that wizardkind has tried to hide it from itself – and that you, unexpectedly, turn out to be the one wizard that is the key to the unleashing of this ancient magic!

Needless to say, Rookwood is in danger if Ranrok succeeds, but Rookwood is dangerous enough on his own behalf. You, as the student, must work with Fig to keep the magic’s secret and avert the goblin rebellion…

The Nitty Gritty

You will attend classes, in between saving wizarding civilisation, in Charms, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Potions, and in between classes you can explore much further afield than simply the castle. The Hidden Forest, Hogsmeade and Gringotts Bank are all accessible and fully explorable

The open world setting will change with the seasons, and you can choose your house, and customise your playing character in many ways including voice, body type, gender and wand selection. All of this adds up to mean that each player can enjoy a tailor-made and very different gaming experience.

As noted above, the game is open world and positively begs exploration as you interact with NCPs like Nearly Headless Nick, Peeves the poltergeist – who is known and loved by readers of the books, but never quite made it into the movies, although the part was filmed for the first movie, starring the late great Rik Myall – and the Fat Lady, who guards the Gryffindor dormitories.

The Room of Requirement features in the game too, serving a much wider purpose than previously seen. Players will be able to customise it to their needs and preferences and it operates as a kind of common room, growing plants, doing research and tweaking your customisation as you need to.

The game’s in-built morality system will allow wannabe villains to tackle the killing curse if they dare, or you can make friends with everyone you meet – including classmates who will grow and develop alongside you, offering handy aid at tricky moments.

There are no microtransactions in the game: everything you get will be earned the hard way, there are no shortcuts for the rich to take and get ahead.

Fantastic Beasts and How to Care for Them

Care of Magical Creatures is a must as you will interact, take care of and even battle using:

Dragons: never mind the ban on breeding dragons, in Hogwarts you can raise your very own pet incinerator on which you can ride, cuddle and battle. Just don’t forget to feed them
Nifflers: the cute and cuddly mole-platypus-magpies return again, snaffling up anything shiny and simultaneously annoying and charming you
Trolls: more animal than humanoid in this game, trolls are firmly in the creature camp rather than the wizard camp here
Hippogriffs: Buckbeak (aka Witherwings) and co return to terrify and delight you as well as coming in jolly useful in the battling stakes with both sharp claws and a fearsome beak to put to good use against your enemies
Mandrakes: technically plants, but considering their roots are screeching and intensely grumpy babies, they fall under the ‘magical creatures’ umbrella. Use ear defenders when potting them, and unleash them on your enemies when you are in a pinch

Hogwarts Legacy for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

Fun open world, polished, great even if you have never looked at HP books or movies. The environment is amazing and you can tell the developers really cared. Would recommend this game to anyone looking to take a break from live service!

2023-02-10T06:32:40-0500

This game is defintely worth playing. Its really good made, with many Details. Map is pretty Big, so flying across map is about 3-5min flying.

Fighting animations and whole combat system is not the best ive seen, its Good but i wouldnt say its the Best.

Huge Modding possibility

The game looks good, not the best, not the worst. Gameplay is good, and the performance is reasonable if you have a good CPU. If you like a game with magic and in the Harry Potter univers this is the one.

Bought this one for the gf because she loves Harry Potter...... I haven't been able to use my Steam Deck ever since....... She's not a gamer but is already 100+ hours into the Hogwarts world and tells me she's not even half way through the story with a smile on her face...

Will update this review whenever I have a chance to try it myself

A very good game really excellent very immersive full of things to discover to do a lot of nice quest to do a lot of places to visit emblematic places to see as in the Harry Potter movies in short I tell you with confidence rush to do it you would not be on it.

2023-02-14T07:01:49-0500

best HP game !

Very solid start, cool wizard battle, Hogwart is fantastic !!

What a joy to dive into this world, as a 90's kid, the nostalgia is real !

Surely we will have a Hogwart Legacy 2 in the future and i can't wait for it !

Hopefully, the game will be heavily modded, extending the game's substantial lifespan !

The game itself is pretty good, (the first few hours I‘ve played it)

But for PC it’s still a mess. It crashed often and the stutters are making it unplayable.

After hours of trying to fix it, I found a mod that makes it playable. Not perfect but at least playing.

I have 3070 and it struggles.

I cannot recommend it, still after almost two years it’s been released. It’s not in a playable state from the get go.

2024-09-21T11:56:27-0400

okay I am really sceptical aboutbuyin this game since it is so cheap... a question for all the buyers... do you actually get the game?

2024-07-20T01:58:41-0400

I've opted to not buy HL for a while due to the Harry Potter inventor but the games open world and of course me enjoying the Harry Potter World made me get the game for my PC neverteheless. The game cought me right away and even the "tutorial" section was surprisingly fun. First impression of the people was that they could be more realistic but after more than 50 hours of playing everything fits in well.

Graphics are lovely, the villages, meadows, mountains, lakes, everything is beautifully designed with so much love for details. Realistic but then again not hyper realistic, all in all matching the people in a good way.

If at all I would've wished for more different maps for the treasure caves (please forgive my english wordings here I'm no native speaker). Those can seem kinda repetitive, same goes for Merlins quests - while the first few are challenging, once you know hot to solve them you wish for more variance.

But the main story is just so well done. Sidequests for exporing the world, learning the mechanics and a big (not huge) map offering so much to explore, even offering different seasons that are tied to the main story, each with its own beautifully done colours and lightings, be it spring flowers, autumn leaves and halloween pumpkins or heavy snow in winter. Love it.

All of this is perfectly framed with an awesome soundtrack. It's like an orchestra is playing for you only. Maybe just some additional tracks for certain spots would be nice - like Hogsmeade. Why not make it spooky during Halloween or some jingles during winter? Also spoken voices are well done (speaking for the German version) and fit their characters well.

Concerning difficulty I played everything on "normal" setting so far and especially in the beginning it took quite some time to get used to the mechanics. Whoever thinks auto-targetting makes fighting a breeze is wrong. It can be rather challenging and the number of spells, plants and potions that can be used for fights causes a rather steep learning curve - at least for me. My suggestion is to take time for side quests, enjoy the world, level up, improve the armour and bit by bit progress with the main story line.

Now, what's bad about HL? There's not much to say TBH. There're very few bugs; once a fight wouldn't end after leaving the forbidden forrest causing quicktravel to not work, another time I dove into a cave only to fly up afterwards being stuck to the caves ceiling. But that happened just once, all good. Performance is totally fine on my 2023 rig averaging in 4k at 60fps. If I could place wishes I would have wanted more challenging riddles and more differences in the treasure caves. Also I would've wished to find some more "unique" objects in treasure chests, not just stuff to enhance the main characters optics.

All in all I love this game, enjoying every minute in it. I'm the type of player who can play hours just running around, searching Merlins Puzzles (done all of them) or find old magic or open the last treasure cave in between needed steps of the main story. Especially the main story brings so much joy and even after 50 hours of playing nice surprises. Been a damn good buy.

Lovely graphics

steep learning curve for fights
some puzzles could be less repetitive

Hogwarts Legacy is a spellbinding journey into the wizarding world that kept me captivated for over 45 hours. Set in the iconic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this game lets you live out your magical fantasies in an open-world setting.

First and foremost, the attention to detail in recreating the Hogwarts castle and its surroundings is truly impressive. Exploring the familiar locations from the books and movies is a nostalgic delight. The game's graphics are stunning, bringing the wizarding world to life with lush environments and well-designed characters.

The freedom to create your own wizard or witch and shape their destiny is a highlight. From choosing your house to selecting your wand, every decision feels meaningful. The RPG elements are well-implemented, and character progression is satisfying, offering various spells and abilities to master.

The story, while enjoyable, did leave me wanting more. It felt a bit rushed in places, and I wished for deeper character development and a more complex plot. However, the side quests and interactions with iconic characters from the series add depth to the narrative.

Now, let's talk about the combat. This is where Hogwarts Legacy falls a bit short. The combat system is serviceable but lacks the depth and excitement one would hope for in a magical world. It can feel repetitive and somewhat uninspired, which is a missed opportunity in a game centered around magic and dueling.

Despite these shortcomings, the game's world-building and attention to detail shine through. The side activities, such as brewing potions and taming magical creatures, offer a well-rounded experience beyond the main storyline.

In summary, Hogwarts Legacy is a magical journey that captures the essence of the wizarding world. While the combat may be lackluster and the story somewhat short, the game excels in creating an immersive Hogwarts experience. With room for improvement in future updates or sequels, this game earns a solid 8.5 out of 10 from me. I'm eager to see what more can be added to enhance this already enchanting adventure.

2024-12-14T17:33:56-0500

The game in itself is mediocre, nontheless it's the first try of what constitued a Harry Potter openworld RPG. But i musst say: 1) the rpg system is pretty bad, consisting of random pieces of armor with random stats attibuted to them, with no ways to crafting them yourself; 1a) super limited skill trees and downstream from that -> super limited spells, with no chance to tweak them. 2) The open world aspect is fine, what really frustrates me is that i cannot jump on tables, or jump from stairs to be faster during travel, this genuenly takes aways from the open world experience for me. 3) The story is just a means to an end, its boring, convoluted, with childish villains that have little to offer: in a opening mission the protagonist hides from a villain behind a corner... i mean, the scripting for that was just suboptimal to be nice. All in all, the combat system kind of saves the game but still, i wouldnt really reccommend it. Also no house point systems.

It is a WB Game, so Glitches galore, but for every HP-Fan and also everyone that ever dreamed of being a magician/witch, this game is stupid fun.

Use Avada Kedavra

You will lose at least 60-80h of your life

2024-11-06T11:52:14-0500

Really like this game! I wasn't sure at first if it worth it, but it was my first Instant Gaming purchase and I regret nothing. The design are well done, characters are great, you can do a bit everything you want! The only negative point is that on PC you can't change the keyboard settings, neither have a summarize of the main key (once I forgot how to dodge / use protego and I had to check on google haha). But it's still good!

The main positive point is that the game has a lot of content that makes the game last long. You have a lot of hours in front of you only for the main quests, so with the map exploration + side quests... Hella cool!

I'm glad I brought this game ?

A lot of choices
Long lifespan
Easy spells
Impossible to change keyboards
To summup of things you learnt (protego etc.)
