Paid full price for this game on release and it bored the arse off of me, completely regret buying it. Most reviews I looked past as I'm not a Harry Potter fan but I saw the Angry Joe review and a few others and they where loving it so I got it, the game is a light RPG and apart from a handful of characters everyone is dull and lifeless, pretty to look at but runs like crap and is full of bugs. Big empty world with some ok main missions and hundreds of boring repetitive side missions. 6.5/10 would be the most I could give it.

Still because of my boredom from playing this game I was looking for something else to play and got the Metro trilogy for £8.50 on Steam and have been blown away. So thanks Hogwarts, I may not have found Metro if you weren't so boring to play.

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."

Markdn29d 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

Lexreborn229d 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.

Lexreborn229d 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

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.

Crows9028d 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.

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.

@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.

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

Markdn29d ago

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

Demetrius29d 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
