ESTNN Writes: “Hogwarts Legacy is selling itself as the fantasy of every fan of Harry Potter and the Wizarding World. You get to be a student at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, explore the iconic castle ground, and forge lifelong friendships. So from the go, your enjoyment of this game will heavily depend on your attachment to the Harry Potter books and movies.
The player character is starting out at Hogwarts as a fifth-year in the 1890s. And with the game being set before both movie franchises, the story gets cheeky and liberal with its fanservice.
It is Hogwarts Legacy’s biggest strength and biggest weakness, not only does it set out to be a Harry Potter game, it tries to be the Harry Potter game. To a degree in which the game is overly indulgent with its reference game. Some of it is charming and some of it feels like it was just included for the sake of fanservice.”
