Hogwarts Legacy Xbox Series X (Amazon Exclusive)

🎮 Introduction:I wanted to give a quick review of Hogwarts Legacy for those who might be a bit doubtful even if preview have been encouraging so far! For those who just got the game or will order it, I will encourage them to put the disc asap to start installing the game as there is 67Gb data to be downloaded and 11Gb from the disc (quite fast for the latter of course). As soon as you will reach the minimum installation to play the game, you will have to setup a few settings, customise your player, you will be able to link your account online as well (including getting your house, your wand, your patronus based on some quizzes) and you will be good to go for the start of the preliminary story that will help you to know the controls of the game which is quite nice.🕹️ Gameplay:So far, the gameplay is pretty much straight forward, quite classic with a few details about your character, the potions you have, your strength, the controls with the different spells, you can use and probably learn later on in the game, the map and information about the quest in progress. As I have finished the preliminary story, I'm still waiting for the game to be fully installed and move forward and get to know better if other details will be added.In summary, nothing revolutionary, classic RPG stuff and for the time being, clearer as there are less details.🎨 Graphics:I'm playing on a 720p video projector which is not ideal to take profit of the full strength of next gens consoles but I can assume that the graphics will be even better with a better screen. On my video projector, the graphics look amazing and the HP atmosphere is definitely there. I mean the details look great, it's really smooth and fluid, and different plays in the game are amazing, lots of details.📖 Story:The preliminary story is honestly great and I can't wait to play furthermore, I won't spoil anything but so far it's great. You're playing a grown-up witch going to Hogwarts straight to year 5 which has been mentored by another witch to catch up with his future classmates. However, something strange is going on while is going to Hogwarts which leads him and his mentor to make a little detour...🎵 Soundtrack:Definitely Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts kind of soundtrack, a little bit different but same theme. You can feel sometimes it's more Harry Potter and sometimes a little bit of Fantastic Beasts. So you won't be disappointed.🎮 Controls:Probably the worst part of the game, I mean, not a big deal, it's still smooth to play and I'm not an expert, I have played a few RPG and it lacks a little bit of precision while you going to a direction, it's not neat, probably other will relate (or not...). For the rest, it's all good, nothing to be worried about, everything works and it's quite aligned with other games. You won't have to adapt big time.🎮 Conclusion:So I think players have waited enough for this game and it's not disappointing at all!It's really true to Harry Potter series and for the fans, it was the game they were waiting for, being part of Hogwarts virtually so I do believe success will be there!⭐️ Overall, I would definitely recommend to Harry Potter fans (even those who are not!) and also RPG fans, it definitely got some potential here: the graphics are great, the soundtrack gives you the right atmosphere, the story look intriguing as well. I will dig into the game to know more about it and probably update my review later on! Probably some add ons coming later on to get a longer game and keep players excited about the game. Multiplayer could be a great addition to the game with game pass seasons (as they do on many free to play games but it would be kind of unfair for a paid game well we do see it in games like NBA 2k series or Fifa series as well so it wouldn't be shocking...). Let's hope the developers keeps the players excited for other stuff!

Really great game, lots to do and find, still haven't found all the demiguise statues. Keep going back to it with new characters in different houses, it's mostly the same with a few differences for each house. Controls are easy to use, getting around is definitely easier once you have a broom.

I absolutely love this game.My wife is a HUGE Harry Potter fan and thus, I have seen the films, but by no means consider myself a 'fan'.I love RPS's , especially the last 3 Assassin's Creed games (Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla) so when I saw the trailers for this game, I was immediately interested.The visuals are absolutely gorgeous, from Hogwarts itself, to Hogsmeade to the open world and beyond. Gameplay is fluid and combat is easy but varied.Characters are interesting and quirky, as you'd expect from the world of Harry Potter.As this game is based 200 years before the events of the first Harry Potter book/film, you do not need to be a huge fan or follower to enjoy the experience. Although I recognise a few surnames, who are obviously ancestors of characters of the books/films, (Professor Weasely for example), it's basically a fresh slate and a brand new experience, so I wouldn't be concerned if you've never seen a Harry Potter film in your life.For hardcore fans, the game is an absolute dream with massive attention to detail. You can literally live out your dream without any restrictions on where you can travel; whether it be Hogwarts, the forbidden forest or Hogsmeade, you are free to walk, run and fly (!) wherever you want. You can choose to take part in classes, help other students in the many side quests or simply concentrate on the main missions.You can even take part in tournaments, such as flying and duelingI'm around 26+ hours in, so probably around half way, and I can't wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds! Highly recommended for lovers of RPS's and/or Harry Potter!

This is for you!Overall a really great game. The graphics are brilliant and there's lots to keep you busy, plus the main storyline is really well put together. Knocking off a star as there are some glitches in the game where you can get a bit stuck and there's some instances of where you can't learn all the spells depending on what choices you make which is a bit annoying for completing the same and getting everything.

Got this for my Son for Christmas but was a bit of a gamble. He's 11, and absolute loved it, was star of the show. Great that it isn't another Potter storyline and it's been fun to watch him play. Lovely graphics too, would recommend!

This game is absolutely fantastic. It is the first story based game in years where I have wanted to look in to every little distraction on offer. It looks stunning and is so much fun to play with an immersive story and fun side missions. In recent years I have not played a game that makes me want to complete everything the game has to offer, Hogwarts Legacy lures you in to this. An amazing achievement from the game developers. Oh and don’t worry about starting school in year 5, there is a point to it and you soon forget to care about this. Enjoy!

Like many I have been waiting for this since reading the first HP books! I have recently finished the main story after taking in a few other missions that peaked interest / tied in with my play style. I have loved every minute! The broomstick flight control system is great, once you get the hang of it (takes a while) as is/does the spell casting system. I have now turned my attention to exploring other untouched areas of the sizeable map, with approx. 45% of the game still left to complete. Attending Hogwarts was as exciting, interesting and beautiful as I had hoped. I doubt you’ll be disappointed with the Series X version of the game.
