They’ll also be releasing the PS5 exclusive launch quest for free to other platforms, which is nice. While I do enjoy the game, I’m glad that I won’t need to pay $15 to $20 for the add on.

A perfectly average game.

The game is fine but I have never seen a game that sold this well that went on sale as frequently as this did. It was bizarre seeing it being the best selling game yet on sale for 30-50% off all year last year.

Remember those woke idiots cancelling the game? It was the best selling game of last year. Classic.

Exploring the universe that I grew up watching , reading about and loving was the biggest point of me liking the game

Crazy how huge Harry Potter still is.
Also crazy how disconnected the “gaming community” (Reddit, twitter, etc.) is from actual sales figures.

Good for Harry Potter fans I guess.

I personally don’t get the hype around thi game. Found the characters really cheesy and cringe, found it was extremely repetitive, and not much if a story plot to it.
It has legs, the fighting mechanics and how easy it was to change spells etc was great. Just wouldn’t put this game up there for game of the year etc. And the ability not to play big parts of howarts that I was expending did suck for me

It was a fun game, I got a good 30-ish hours of entertainment out of it. I only wish they had made the world outside of Hogwarts/Hogsmead a little more interesting. The Merlin trials were promising until I figured out there only were like four different ones that repeat over and over, the weird platform things you just have to land on to unlock seemed a little simplistic, the balloon course you fly through seemed pretty meh. I feeel they could have done much more with the game but all in all it was enjoyable enough

The game nailed absolutely everything *except* the gameplay. Which is a real problem.
As a sort of theme park style tour for the wizarding world, it’s great. As a good video game, not so much. I get it’s more of a game for Harry Potter fans both new and old who don’t necessarily play video games, but man, as a gamer it sure as hell can be boring…
Still glad it did well, the devs deserve it. I just hope they learn some gameplay lessons for next time.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing it. The world they made was fun to explore. Just wish you could play quidditch or go to Diagon Alley. Hopefully in the sequel!

I was really surprised not to see this on any of the goty lists. I am not really into HP, but I remember seeing a lot of reviewers loving it because of fulfilling the fantasy of studying in Hogwarts. I would have expected to see it at least on some personal lists…

Shit game carried by ip and one location.

I’ll still wait till its like £20 or less…not a huge fan of Harry Potter but do fancy playing. Just not in a rush and can wait without issue as I got far too much to play so even if I bought it now at full price, I still wouldn’t get to it for a few years. I like to play one game at a time till I finish it, I’m old, can’t do like 10hrs of say Assassins Creed and then try to go back to it a few months later, can’t remember the controls, what I was doing and die way too easily so end up restarting so easier to do one at a time…its a massive money saver

Remember when people were boycotting this game and harassing streamers who streamed it ?
Fat lotta good that did LOL

The game was okay but the NPC’s were horrible, they showed no emotion whatsoever
HarrMada
Too bad it was mediocre anyway.

Honestly they need to make a HP game with a Persona 5 style storytelling system, where you actually go through a whole year.

What’s weird is how they haven’t announced a dlc or a sequel. I know they’re making a quidditch game but I’d love for the sequel to be more adventurous or in a different school like NY or Uganda

Awesome game. Though there could have been more stuff to do besides the main quest line. Magical creatures could have been made more difficult to obtain. More in depth quests that gave some reward worth getting. Being able to explore other settings like a full on quest inside azkaban. Where you have to go through a whole maze of corridors and cells spanning multiple floors.
The ps exclusive quest did disappointed me though.
Overal great experience, nice graphics, being able to fly.. awesome game.

It’s too bad they ditched quidditch and refused to do and dlc

There’s a bunch of senior management at my work that are a few rows away from me.
They normally talk inane BS that I don’t really care about, families, the work place, boring weekends and especially this one guy just constantly talks soccer.
But today they were talking about this and how they had all bought it.
That’s when I suddenly understood why it’s so massive.
