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 MSRP $69.99 Score Details “Hogwarts Legacy will likely please die-hard Harry Potter fans, but its tired open-world design lacks imagination.” Pros Cons Despite being a 30-something who grew up during the golden age of Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy managed to be my first real exposure to the Wizarding World. Though if I’m being honest, it’s not quite the magical first introduction I always pictured it would be.
It’s the first clue that Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t have a lot of ideas about how to make Harry Potter feel special in a video game. There are no shortage of ways to think outside the box when crafting a “school” premise. The Persona series uses daily routines to emulate the experience of studying for midterms by day and tormenting perverts by night.
Hogwarts Legacy softens Rowling’s writing as much as it can, but that’s only half a solution. You can’t get rid of a worldview without offering one of your own. At least Rowling is consistent: Her deplorable views always make it clear where she stands. It’s not surprising when her writing edges into hateful stereotypes. Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t believe in anything, and its frequently illogical story reflects that reality too.
The dry design decision hurts one of the adventure’s standout features. The first time I take flight on my broomstick is a genuinely captivating moment . There’s an incredible sense of freedom and scale as I soar into the sky and finally get to see Hogwarts towering over the British countryside.
I very rarely feel like the game is working in service of the universe it’s representing; it’s the opposite.
