Hogwarts Legacy might bring some warm nostalgia for Harry Potter fans, but a lack of imagination holds back an otherwise boilerplate open-world adventure.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 is years away at this point, but the sequel could be the perfect game to make use of the Switch 2's features.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 could benefit from an expansion of the first game's enemy roster, and luckily, it has a large pool of creatures to draw from.
Couldn't go 2 sentences without bringing up JK Rowling's viewpoints (which are now acknowledged and supported by the UK Supreme Court). Time for all the "progressive" whiners to latch back on to reality.
Hogwarts Legacy has remained in first place on the UK retail charts, according to GfK data for the week ending April 19, 2025.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, following the release of the PS5 version, came in second place.
Astro Bot dropped one spot to third place, while Monster Hunter Wilds remained in fourth place. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is up one spot to fifth place and EA Sports FC 25 is up six spots to sixth place.
Playstation owners buy games.
Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.
Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.
The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.
Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.
Not really. That's why Xbox is going under consoles wise. PS gamers purchase stuff that's why console and game sales are always high. Xbox gamers want games for 'free' on gamepass and to enter at the lowest price point (series s)
@InUrFoxHole said “Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.”
This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the reason Indiana Jones and Oblivion and Forza Horizon 5 aren’t exclusive anymore.
InUrFoxHole, its wild that you think that's wild lmao. 🤯. You buy your food from the grocery store?? Ugggh. You should get Factor. Who pays for food anymore when you can pay a subscription to receive food for "free". Disgusting.
Sound stupid? It is.
@Bathy
That's some cope there. You think the healthiest console is the one that doesn't even provide their gamers with their exclusive games? That crazy talk man. The healthiest is Nintendo and that's 💯 not even a debate. MS provides gamers with games. Sony provides you with MS games. Enjoy
@andy
You have broke brain. Gamepass isn't free. It's a sub service. Jesus n4g knows how to pick'em
@InUrFoxHole notice I put free in ' ' these? Doesn't take a genius. Every game that comes out on Xbox you'll see this comment "is this coming to gamepass".
2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.
This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.
The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!
Hogwart's, Indiana, Astro Bot & Monster Hunter - that's a pretty nice top 4 once again.
I bet MachineGames are quite happy about the sales pouring in.
Lack of imagination 😂 I'd say it's the complete opposite. Always one
"That’s where J. K. Rowling herself, the author with a history of making transphobic comments and who stands to profit from the game’s success, comes into play.
Avalanche has clearly tried to distance itself from Rowling’s hateful remarks, going as far as to allow players to create a transgender hero. Though in staying true to the franchise’s rich mythology, the narrative is ultimately still at the mercy of the author’s worldview. "
Yeah f*** off with that bs 😂
Political review, nothing to see here
You guys can quit your bullsh*t smear campaign. Anyone with eyes and a brain can tell you this is not a 5/10 game.
There is no boiler plate open world adventure about this game and the sense of imagination is one of its most stand out features.
Look, as someone who can’t stand the open-world Ubisoft like formula with so much busy work I can tell you honestly, this is one of the most fun open-world games where I do not feel overwhelmed with all the typical busy work routine things you’d find in most-open world games.
I’m not a Potter fan. I don’t hate the movies or anything, they’re fine, it’s just I can take it or leave it sort of thing. I will say exploring Hogwarts has been full of such awe and gave me this joy of like being a kid back in the 80s and watching the movies that brought that magic to the screen. It’s hard to explain but it captures a sense I don’t typically feel in games and it’s been really great.
If you’re even slightly interested in the game I can’t recommend it enough. The crazy part is I wasn’t really hyped on this, but was shocked at how detailed the world is and how much fun it is to play. Definitely a contender for Game of the Year for me.
There's always one...
