@Matroska They should have gone the cloud route. I’m not a fan of cloud gaming, but I think in this case it would be understandable. But hey, there have been some really impressive Switch ports, so maybe they’ll surprise us.
I gotta say, this game is better than I was expecting and I was expecting it to be good. I think it sits up there with The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 as one of the most detailed and interesting worlds I’ve explored.
@Bentleyma I fully agree the world is extremely detailed. You can clearly see they put a lot of work into the little details. I just love to explore the world and stand still a lot to just admire the world they created. Even while I'm not a big fan of the Harry Potter movies. I'm only 6 hours in so not that far yet, but I'm loving what I'm seeing until now.
Also a positive to mention is the game seems to be practically bug and glitch free. I haven't encountered a single one yet and that seems to be rare for modern open world games.
@Lavalera I’ve been playing for about 9 hours and the only issue I’ve had is the occasional floor textures not loading right in front of my character while running around the countryside.
I've just had a dispatch notification for my copy. Hopefully it should be here in time to play on Saturday when I'll be breaking out the any flavoured beans and butterbeers.
@MatthewJP All the good comments I'm hearing about the game I'm honestly thinking about starting a second play through for me so I can make good progress. They don't half like to mess around in a game and I know that's going to be doubly true with this game. It also gives me the option to go with a different house etc whereas I know that they will want to go with Gryffindor for obvious reasons.
Anyone else facing issues to change language in the game? I installed English language pack, even uninstalled the standard one, still the game won't change or offer language options.
Need help on my tv/ps5. I have a roku tcl 55r625. It has been enabled for vrr as has my ps5. Max is 60z on the tv. I'm trying to get Hogwarts to show balanced option for graphics mode, but I currently only see 3 options; fidelity, fidelity raytracing, and performance. Any ideas?
Wow, I wasn’t expecting all these personalization and accessibility options. It’s a bit overwhelming. It took me an hour to arrange all my settings and then do the character creator. 😅

Anyone else have the issue of not receiving their cosmetic award for completing challenges? I have received most of them but a few I claimed late, but they never showed up. I also had my first game freeze. Hopefully this doesn't continue.
Edit: figured it out via reddit. It's a cosmetic item and can be changed by hovering over the item slot and "push square".
@LN78 Very recognisable. Usually i play 2 to 3 games at the same time, but this weekend 90% of my gaming time i spent on Hogwarts Legacy. I only did 2 hours of my replay of Yakuza 6, but the rest of weekend i was running around in Hogwarts. It's clearly visible these developers put a lot of hard work and their passion into this game. The world feels very alive. The RPG setting fits the school setting as well. By attending classes and doing assigments you're unlocking spells, so it feels real. It really makes me feel like I'm the main character myself, instead of just playing as him.
I already played around 25 hours since tuesday and can tell this one is going to end high on my game of the year list. And i am almost certain that this will be on my replay games list as well.
I’ve enjoyed the small amount of the game that I’ve played so far. Between life commitments and the blasted SuperBowl, I didn’t get as much time in as i wanted, but I can definitely feel the draw of the game to keep playing. It’s got the familiar open world, checklist marking, “just one more quest” type of setup that fans of the genre will appreciate.
It’s funny because I have seen that several more “casual” gamers have been playing this because of the allure of the HP franchise, and some have expressed that the combat is quite difficult. So far it’s been straightforward for me, barely taking damage during the fights since the protego and stupify defense spells are fairly OP. I’m early in the game though so perhaps things get tough later on.
The game is quite complex too, with all the different kinds of side activities and the large map. I suspect this will be a very engrossing 60-80 hour jaunt for me and really scratch that open-world itch. It probably means that I’ll have to delay Horizon Forbidden West, Witcher 3, and a few others on my list because I don’t want to get fatigued on the open world genre, and we have Spider-Man 2 later this year. Spoilt for choice, indeed.

@LN78 Yeah that's why I'm happy to see the sales figures. Despite the controversy it still sold very well. I think it might even end up being the best sold game of the year. I think the biggest difference compared to Gotham Knights is, Hogwarts feels like a game they knew from the start what they wanted to do. Gotham Knights feels like they switched between a live service and a single player game back and forth and ending up with a mess of a game.
@Th3solution I'm generally a player who plays on easy mode and strays away from Fromsoft games, but i don't think the combat in Hogwarts is very difficult. I play it on normal and the indicators when you're about to get hit really help. With those indicators i can see when i need to dodge or press protego (i prefer dodging, somehow i get the timing on that better). The arsenal of spells they give you is very diverse. Only thing I'm really missing is an AOE spell, with a large group of enemies it can get a bit hectic to keep track on all enemies.
