According to reviewers, Hogwarts Legacy is what every Harry Potter fan has been dreaming about for years.. A magical open world, full of side activities, an addictive combat system, great graphics and animations, and the immersive experience of being a Hogwarts student. All of this is quite impressive.

According to some critics, however Hogwarts Legacy, if viewed as a game in its own right, compared to many other RPGs on the market, is not the least bit original. In addition, reviewers point out the occasionally poor quality of the dubbing and the fact that the story does not match up to the stories presented in J.K. Rowling's books.

Hogwarts Legacy will be available on February 10. It is worth recalling that owners of the digital Deluxe version will visit the magical world three days before the official debut of the game. For PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, access will be granted at midnight on February 7, while PC players will have to wait until later the same day.
