I didn't pick this up I'm personally not a Harry Potter fan and haven't been interested in the property since I was a kid however it's crazy how many people I've seen who are non gamers who are playing this game. I've got multiple friend groups of grown men who wouldn't care for Harry Potter traditionally al playing this game with either thier kids or themselves.

I've just got a feeling anecdotally at least this game did extremely well its very rare to see this group of players engage with any game that isn't a sports game or COD/ battlefield

porkChop498d ago

It's just a really well made game. It has faults and some of the usual open world trappings, but you can tell a lot of love and passion went into the game. Always something new and interesting to see around every corner.

Leeroyw498d ago

I'm a grown man with kids and thoroughly enjoying it. It's bringing me back to great first time gaming experiences like oblivion, Mario 64 and even legend of zelda. Not in game play, but in wonder and excitement. It's a very good game.

MrNinosan498d ago

I have 0 interest in Harry Potter, but this game is on another level.
Combine Fable and Red Dead Redemption 2 and you'll get Hogwarts Legacy.

I had big doubts I'd like it, but was proven wrong.

It seems my PSN friends agree, as half of everyone who's online has been playing it since Tuesday/Friday, which only happened a few times before (Elden Ring, Forbidden West and Ragnarök).

autoglope498d ago (Edited 498d ago )

I never cared for IP, never watched a single movie ,.. and I think this is probably the best game I've played in years,..Some Zelda type of quality here,.. of not far surpassing it,.. and it is just getting better and better,..
Just got my broom and a house ,.. it is almost insane how much I am loving this game,.. almost every aspect of it (though on hard it is really pretty hard if you are not very careful

I was never into Harry Potter, I never watched any of the movies nor did I read any of the books. But after watching gameplay videos I was interested. I picked up a copy & I've been playing all weekend, the game is fun.

Sonic1881498d ago (Edited 498d ago )

You missed out on some good movies

Elda498d ago

Movies are subjective. What you think is good to you may not be good to me. Though I enjoy the Hogwarts game I know I wouldn't enjoy the movies. I usually know what interests me when it comes to movies & any other medium of entertainment.

Jin_Sakai498d ago

Same here. I’ve seen some of the movies but never got into the series. Picked up the game and really enjoying it so far.

Lexreborn2498d ago

I watched them with my son a few years back wasn’t a big fan but I went from hating it to thinking they’re okay movies. Picked up hogwarts to play with my son he’s but 2 hours in and I did 9 so far.

It’s a fun game filled with chuckles like the ghost chasing each other through the halls trying to ghost kill each other. Or the humming armor that gets killed for humming to loud by the other armor.

I think it’s easily an 8 out of 10, but I think it’s being pushed higher due to nostalgia. The dialogue is actually too much, a lot of talking happening that I have just started skipping because I want to play.

Got the broom and flying through the map and finding poachers. Found a mountain troll and throttled him, I have been enjoying these things a lot. Going to download it on my steam deck to see how it runs.

Honestly this month has had 2 games based on magic that just nail it for me. One makes you feel stupid powerful the other seems more controlled. But, a nice switch up from traditional sword and guns games that I needed.

Elda498d ago

I guess that's why I picked up Hogwarts due to the gameplay videos I've watched that I thought was interesting & me just finishing the magic fantasy game Forspoken which was fun but so short. Again...the HP movies I just have no interest to watch still to this day...lol.

Dandalandan117498d ago

I consider myself a casual fan. Haven't read any books but I did watch the movies. I rarely purchase games day 1 nowadays, especially multiplatform ones. I decided to pull the trigger this time since I was intrigued with the premise and also wanted to explore the world that they've created. I'm probably just about 5 hours in but I'm really enjoying the experience so far. Does it push the envelope in terms of graphics or gameplay? Not really. It is artistically gorgeous though and the combat is surprisingly fun as well. I haven't even experienced flying the broom yet so I'm really looking forward to that as well.
I can't even imagine what the hardcore HP fans are feeling right now. They're probably stoked about this game.

Hogwarts Legacy Summer 2024 Update Trailer

This sounds like another great update for the game as Warner Bros. Games today announced that the Hogwarts Legacy Summer 2024 update is officially live on all platforms for players who own the game.

Kosic18d ago

Great game, but this summer update was over hyped. It's just a camera mode and dlc from Playstation to Xbox...

Was Hogwarts Legacy Only Successful Because Of Nostalgia?

Shahmeer from eXputer: "I've always wondered whether the success of Hogwarts Legacy had much to do with nostalgia. The RPG is great but certainly not free of issues."

Markdn55d ago

I totally agree, and no replay value for sure but enjoyed every minute I was playing it. Not a Harry Potter fan but still really enjoyed

Lexreborn255d ago

I still haven’t finished it, mostly due to it not holding my interest after 20 hours. Wouldn’t say it’s a bad game, wouldn’t say it’s amazing I really can’t judge it fully due to not completing it.

Lexreborn255d ago

lol are people upset because I said I put 20 hours into the game and that because I haven’t finished I won’t criticize it’s value or if nostalgia generates it’s success? That’s funny

CrimsonWing6955d ago

Harry Potter is one of the biggest IPs in the world. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why it sold so much. It’s a great game on top of that, so the math kind of maths here.

Can’t wait for the article on if Zelda or Mario only sold well due to nostalgia.

Crows9055d ago

They're trying to find a fake reason for its success...the mainstream hate how successful it became because of the writer behind the series.

So now they want to say that people bought it not because they liked it but only because of nostalgia....as if harry potter is really that old or even a classic IP in the game industry.

thorstein55d ago

That doesn't even make any sense. The author made those statements before the game released. People knew ahead of time and wanted a boycott.

But most people knew any boycott would only punish the people who worked on the game and put their hearts into it (like most boycotts).

So many people bought it, enjoyed it immensely, and moved on.

VenomUK54d ago

@CrimsonWing69 A greatly in demand IP only takes you so far, if it was crap quality then the reviews and word of mouth would have stalled its sales. But it is a good game (judged by Metacritic and user reviews) and that has given the game legs.

Tzuno55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

ngl, it got me in the first half hour
after that, a big let down, mediocre at every step
only fans are praising it

Markdn55d ago

In what way was it mediocre, can't really find anything about it that was mediocre and I'm not a hp fan

Demetrius55d ago

It's still a good game almost time for a 2nd playthrough, the passion they put into it is🔥🔥 crazy how after a couple months or a year folks get to complaining about this n that about certain games smh childish mfs

Hogwarts Legacy might be hiding a grotto in here

A Hogwarts Legacy player came across a gigantic tree under Bakar's tower, which might be hiding a grotto in it.
