Hogwarts Legacy brings Harry Potter's Wizarding World to life
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world, action-adventure RPG set in the “Harry Potter” universe. So, fans of the original books/movies will get to see iconic locations rendered in all their glory. Hogwarts, for instance, has been faithfully recreated with its winding staircases, magical paintings, and secret corridors, all present for players to explore. Similarly, the Hogsmeade village, with shops like Ollivander’s, is also fully open for gamers to discover.
Aside from known locations, Hogwarts Legacy also takes players to brand-new areas like the Hogsmeade Valley. There are many dungeons that players get to clear during quests.
Gameplay-wise, Hogwarts Legacy has you playing as a fifth-year Hogwarts student. Being a student at Hogwarts, you will get to take different classes for spell casting, potion making, and more. When you aren’t inside lecture halls, you’ll be wandering the fascinating Wizarding World with all its secrecy, dangerous beasts, Dark wizards, and magic duels.
IGN describes the world of Hogwarts Legacy as capturing “all the excitement and wonder of the Wizarding World with its memorable new characters, challenging and nuanced combat”. The combat revolves around tackling enemies using different spells that you’ve learnt. The combat system complements the spell-casting with parrying, dodging, and combining different attacks.
Since Hogwarts Legacy is an RPG, there are also skills/spells/power-ups for you to unlock and upgrade. Additionally, tons of cosmetics allow you to customize the look of your character.
All in all, Hogwarts Legacy is, per IGN, “a wonderfully executed Hogwarts student fantasy”. It is the game to play if you are a Harry Potter fan.
