Hogwarts Legacy PS5

I thoroughly enjoyed this game; the story builds upon the wonderful world that the amazing JK Rowling created. She inspired millions of young people to read her stories, to lose themseleves in the stunning visuals of the film adaptations, and through Hogwarts Legacy, create their own character and live their story in the wizarding world. The character creation at the start is a strong positive for the game; you care more for the character you created. The dialogue choices are fun to play out, and whilst there is seemingly little difference in the final outcome, I like how you can shape the personality of your character and prompt different reactions. The story arc is very good, and the spells are fun to learn. A minor issue is the lack of Quidditch, but broom racing (and the controls) are well designed. Learning the dark arts and having the choice of learning the Unforgivable curses is also welcomed, but a dark character arc option would be a welcome DLC or sequel. The graphics (PS5) and audio are brilliant and do a great job of recreating the film aesthetic. No spoiler here but choosing Hufflepuff results in a unique quest at a location not available to other houses. I saw it online... I played as a Ravenclaw but with Slytherin tendencies! Enjoy!

I’ve just spent a whole weekend playing this on the PS5 and - Wow. This is what I always wanted computer games to be! I admit I am a fan of both open world RPG's and the Harry Potter series, so I have the potential to be biased, but regardless, I have to say this is an incredibly well polished experience. The story is intriguing, the graphics are beautiful, the world is huge and immersive. It feels like this is one of the largest open world games I’ve ever played - there’s a LOT to be seen and keep you interested. Combat is very well handled, a large pool of spells gives you plenty of options in each battle but it still manages to keep the combat streamlined, fast and challenging. Flying on your broom is both fun and thanks to some truly breath-taking Scottish highlands scenery even a long flight doesn’t feel tedious. There are one or two minor quibbles but they are soon forgotten, this is an absolutely first class and highly enjoyable game.

Im a 50 year old and am really enjoying Hogwarts Legacy on the PS5. Its a RPG game set in the wizarding world with a great story to follow your adventures. Gameplay is a mix of puzzles, unlocking items, learning spells, learning to fly on your broom and exploring a huge world around Hogwarts. Graphics are great and storyline engaging. Its not an easy game though, the combat is quite challenging (defense is more important than attack i find) so dont expect an easy walkthrough (unless you select easy) and some of the puzzles are quite difficult as well. You need to think through all the magic at your fingertips to work out how to solve. Its not a cheap game but I am already 12 hours in and hardly scratched the surface. Gameplay is varied and the world huge and interesting. Characters are engaging. If you have any interest in the Harry Potter world you will love this game. My 10 year old is playing his own way through the game as well and is progressing about the same speed as me (he uses a different approach to defense in the combat scenes which is interesting as well. More than one approach works). So its good for young and old. This is the game i got the PS5 for and it doesnt dissapoint. I suspect there is 50hours + of game play in this.

Not much more to add, the reviews on here speak for themselves. Great experience and would highly recommend. I’m 30+ hours in, completed the main story and probably got another 30 hours or so yet to platinum. Definitely one of the better games in a while. I’m NOT a big Harry Potter fan and have only seen a couple of the movies, but I love RPG’s and open world games so wanted to try this out. I’ve got over 150 hours in AC Valhalla and I’d say I am probably enjoying this more. Feels much less of a grind and a new experience. Huge map, combat is fresh, attention to detail and graphics are amazing. Plenty to do. Story was decent and the character customisation is up there with other AAA RPG’s. Yes, there are some elements that feel repetitive after a while but that is expected when you’re north of 30 hours into a game. Name one game that doesn’t. If you’re a fan of RPG’s just buy this, you won’t be disappointed.

As a long-time Harry Potter fan I was super excited to play this game as soon as I got a PS5. I usually enjoy story games so this was perfect! The disc version was great, it came with an exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade side quest as well as an Amazon exclusive, which is the Astronomer's hat. It looked great in the image but on my character, it didn't look as appealing :( The overall gameplay is great and the mechanics are similar to Dark Souls, which is a game I'm familiar with so getting used to the gameplay was super easy! The main quest was really interesting but some parts felt quite tedious and arduous, especially when it came to the puzzles. If puzzles are something you enjoy then no need to worry! Some side quests were more interesting than others so I ended up giving up the game and left most of the side quests. A lot of them were focused on gameplay outside of Hogwarts, which didn't appeal to me as it didn't feel like I was playing as a Hogwarts student but rather a random character. A lot of the beginning story is based in Hogwarts castle, but as the story proceeds, the story is focused less on being a student and more on being a 'chosen one'. As a Harry Potter fan, I would've preferred more focus on being a student rather than the combat, but I guess the game would be a bit lacklustre in terms of gameplay. One thing I enjoyed was the ability to 'transmog' my gear to have the appearances I preferred, while still using the most powerful ones. Overall, I did enjoy the game and put around 20 hours into it before I gave up, but it was enough time to finish the main story and side quests I enjoyed!

Excellent arrived on time and quality as expected

It’s an amazing game and I had so much fun exploring the open world of harry potter. But I would like to point out that it is rather grindy when it comes to collectibles and other things if you are a completionist like me and for some reason unlike most other rpg games, there is no new game plus option which was quite annoying on my part. That’s the reason I gave it four stars but other than those, brilliant game and the best one I have seen when it comes to exploring.

Fantastic game! It has EVERYTHING about Hogwarts and more! Very big world to explore, animals, people, magic, events, such a great game!

Un gioco favoloso. Arrivato molto bene, è in italiano e lo consiglio vivamente soprattutto agli amanti del mondo di Harry Potter come me.

Juego muy entretenido con un montón de cosas secundarias por hacer. Se lo regalé a mi pareja que es ultra fan de Harry Potter y no se ha despegado de la tv en semanas...

Très bon jeu, le gameplay est super, les graphiques super beau et il y a une multitude de solutions. Entièrement comblé par l’ensemble du jeu.
