I'll try to keep this short: Hogwarts legacy is amazing but it has some problems that keep it away from the "masterpiece" status.
The first hours of the game will give you a very good feeling of overwhelmingness given how many things you will be given to explore and toy with. For harry potter fans there isn't much to add, you know you will love every single detail they've put in the game, and there are a lot of them. Everyone will for sure have a good time with the game and I can say it lived for the hype.
Now I would like to leave a note on what I actually think could've been a lot better (a bit unfair but everyone knows the game is good so):
- Too much beasts related repetitive content that could've easily been cut off to insert quidditch in any way. This is my biggest complaint. I was done with beasts long before its quest content was over and I really missed quidditch.
- A lot of good characters were left off in a very secondary plane while ultra forgetable and not interesting characters were always in the main scene of the game (yes fig you are as relevant as a table).
- The game as a very very good start and a very good ending to almost every questlines inclunding main. But the "mid game" is very repetitive and you feel like you are doing the same thing and stalling the same quest lines for too long until you reach climax. It feels like they only put a lot of effort for first and final impacts and just left the mid game to roll itself for hours to stretch repetitive content. That's ok for harry potter fans I mean it's the game we always wanted but from an objective prespective it is a bit boring at times.
- Rewards and collectables are not the strongest point in the game. Loot it's always gear, and despite the very cool cosmetics you can combine, it feels like there could have a been a lot more types of good collectibles for so MUCH secondary repetitive tasks (dozens of merlin trials e.g). Wish there was chocolate frog cards.
- Lack of relevant rpg builds to differ playstyle: wasn't expecting this to be in the game, but a lot of people were hyped for it
