I'm convinced a lot more people would be criticizing this game if the controversy surrounding it wouldn't be a strong motivator for progessive gamers to not talk about it at all and edgy gamers to support it fully, as a way to "trigger the libs".

At the end of the day, this is as mid as it gets. The Combat, Characters, Story, Dialogue, Exploration and Base building all feel like somebody just put a Harry Potter skin over one of the latest Assassins Creed iterations. In other words: the game is fucking boring. Which really is the worst thing art can be.

Its only saving grace are the pretty graphics and that hogwarts itself, unlike the rest of the open world, is actually fun to run around in (altough that might just be my childhood nostalgia).

And on top of all this, Ubisoft- errm I mean Avalanche managed to ship the game with major performance issues. Hogsmeade? More like Bugsmeade... Yeah its time to wrap up this review. My jokes are getting as stale as this game.
