I fucking hate Hogwarts Legacy

[u/SquigglesFan]

A year ago i bought Hogwarts Legacy for like 8 dollars and it fucking stinks, i got 10 hours on it and im still being railroaded and all the character faces look like roadkill. I genuinely believe that game was conceived to actively hurt you (though i am trans so maybe its on purpose), i fell asleep for 4 hours two separate times while playing it and woke up at 3AM with sweat all over me because i was having a nightmare. Probably the second worst thing JK Rowling's done

The later areas of the world are crazy barebones/repetitive, but I did very much enjoy exploring hogwarts and found the whole castle positively enchanting.

If the game had focused more on the school, the classes, and learning to be a wizard and dropped the goblin stuff in favour of just unravelling the mystery of the ancient magic, it would be a substantial improvement imo.

The room of requirement was also a huge success for me. Collecting creatures and creating a few sanctuaries was really cosy. The slytherin storyline with Gaunt and the other fella was also quite compelling.

Overall it struck me as the type of game a novice team would make, and I would anticipate the next game that team makes as a lot of the issues with the game are quite fixable. At the same time though I wouldn't buy a sequel or somesuch without giving it a little scrutiny, as it would be fairly clear whether it has those same problems or not.

Not everything was bad. Its just more so that they had a huge ip to cover and the game was lackluster.

The game itself is okay at best. You can find joy in it but its also not a game i would play again...

I feel no need to return to it either, just pointing out some of the better aspects of the game in my opinion.
