WTMG’s Thomas Medina: “Hogwarts Legacy impressed me, and not just as a lifelong fan. I especially loved its dedication to exploration and puzzle solving, two things modern RPGs are finding less and less time for. I think it’s possibly the best RPG for newcomers to the genre and people who don’t otherwise play RPGs. Unlike most RPGs, setting the difficulty to Story doesn’t invalidate everything. With Hogwarts Legacy, there’s still plenty of game to explore and puzzles to solve. You can still have a fun fulfilling gameplay experience, without complicated combat getting in the way. And given how wide the Harry Potter fanbase is, it’s exactly how it should be done. What impresses me most about Hogwarts Legacy, though, is how much passion and effort was put into the game. It’s clearly a labor of love, with so much work put into the small things. That’s what makes a game truly great.”
