This game doesn't deserve the hate it gets but thankfully it still sold incredibly well!
I streamed this on Twitch on the 7th of Feb and it was the only game we did for the rest of the month!
Hogwarts Legacy was the game i and i am sure many, many others have been dying for!
I've been wanting a Hogwarts/Harry Potter game for so long and to finally have this drop and it be so good was awesome
So Graphically the game is very nice although it does depend on PS5 if you play with Fidelity mode or Performance mode on just how good the game really looks but even on Performance mode the game ran smoothly and looks really good!
I did switch modes in stream and went too the great hall and the difference is night and day so if you want the game to look as nice as possible, Fidelity mode with Ray-Tracing is the way to go!
The Soundtrack to Hogwarts Legacy delivers a magically beautiful atmosphere with different tracks in some boss fights and during major cutscenes and during general gameplay, there's never a silent moment i noticed where there wasn't some sort of music that still makes you feel like you're in Hogwarts!
The story was decent, There's wasn't a whole lot too it but they came out with more than enough for a first game to build on hopefully a sequel, There's alot of sidequests to do alongside the main quests with collectibles and trials and plenty more waiting out there in the wizarding world. You will easily spend 50-60 hours just playing the main story and sidequests with another 10 odd hours finishing off for the Platinum.
Customisation is great! Although creating your character at the start isn't overly huge but during the game you can change your robes, school clothes, hats, glasses, gloves, wand handles, brooms and mounts!
There's so much to collect around the world and this is one open world game that has been done to perfection!
Something i absolutely love is you can wear weird looking cosmetics that don't suit your character, get the bonus defensive stats and then you can change the appearance to something else that you love maybe it's a certain robe but still keep the stats of better equipment!
The map is a good size, plenty of exploring to do with more of the world opening up further through the story and then you get the room of requirements to brew potions, grow plants customise to your hearts content and even upgrade your equipment!
In here you also have vivariums which you can use to house your creatues you've captured out in the open world and create the perfect enviroment to your hearts content with an insane amount of buildings and items to make anything you want and you can breed animals too! Baby Hippogriffs are so cute but the mooncalfs for me are to die for!
Then there's the graphorns....
100% Recommend playing this game, you don't need to be a Harry Potter fan to be able to play this, admittedly you might miss some of the easter eggs and references and lore of the wizarding world but that doesn't affectt anything in the game or stories.
If you're a Harry Potter fan, this is gonna be your game of the year!
