The new Harry Potter game, one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2023, is receiving positive reviews from critics throughout the world now that the embargo has been removed.
The highly anticipated Harry Potter video game Hogwarts Legacy won't be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S for a few more days, but reviews have already begun to appear online. Some people were surprised to see that the game has received positive reviews from critics thus far since they had assumed that the controversy surrounding the game would negatively impact its Metacritic score.
Since the game's announcement, there have been concerns regarding Avalanche Software's ability to live up to the hype given the game’s history of frequent release delays. Having said that, it appears the developers had succeeded. The game has received favorable reviews thus far and making its way to be a commercial success.
A fifth-year student entering Hogwarts in the 1890s is where players start their magical adventures. The student has the ability to wander around the castle and practice learning new spells, as well as venture outside beyond the castle grounds. The story of the player character is influenced by their rare capability to detect "whispers of ancient magic." The player will encounter many different creatures, like dragons, and dark wizards.
The Xbox Series X version currently has an 89 on Metacritic as of this writing. If this rating remains stable, the game will undoubtedly be one of the most well-received games of 2023 by December. However, this is the game's highest rating. The PS5 version presently has a score of 86, which is just barely less impressive.
The PC version, meanwhile, has a score of 83 and has received complaints from several reviewers about PC-specific performance issues, which is not unusual in the PC industry. In fact, the recently released remake of Dead Space, which has won critical praise, suffers from a few PC performance issues as well.
What are critics saying about the game, then? One reviewer who rated the game a perfect score called it a "masterpiece" and added that they "wanted even more" and to see other beloved universes treated with respect and passion as the developers have done with the Wizarding World. This suggests that it might serve as a standard for future games. Another reviewer said that in addition to living up to all of the expectations of what it would be like to attend Hogwarts, the game also had a fantastic narrative and memorable characters.
Some reviews were fair and pointed out that there were some flaws in the game. Numerous reviews, including those with excellent ratings, mentioned that the game occasionally experienced "technical difficulties." That's noteworthy given that the Metacritic ratings were for the PS5. In addition, several game aspects, like managing your gear, were tedious. The game is nevertheless enjoyable despite this, and almost all of them gave it more praise than criticism.
Hogwarts Legacy will be made available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 10. Versions for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch will come later.
