Gryffindor. Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw. Slytherin. Long ago, the four houses studied together in (mostly) harmony. Then everything changed when the dark wizards attacked. Only a powerful wizard, master of ancient magic, could stop them. But when the world needed one most, they vanished. Hundreds of years have passed, and the Keepers discovered the player, a new 5th year at Hogwarts. And although their magical skills are great, they have a lot to learn before they're ready to save anyone. But I believe the player can save the wizarding world.
*Hedwig's Theme plays in the distance*

I was one of the people who played the movie adaptation games in the early 2000s. Chamber of Secrets on PS2 was the first open world game I ever played and I absolutely adored it; with my enjoyment of it being the candle I held all other open world games to, until RDR2 came along. I've waited over 20 years for a new Wizarding World game to overtake CoS, and honestly didn't think it would ever happen. I was wrong.

This game can be called a Harry Potter spin-off, however I admit that the story and world of Hogwarts Legacy are so convincing and intriguing that you will legitimately forget Harry Potter ever existed while playing. The entire experience felt not only genuine in every way to the Wizarding World, but it stood entirely on it's own as a masterpiece. Being a Wizarding World fan, like me, without a doubt adds to your enjoyment of the game. However, even someone completely turned off to the books/movies can fully appreciate this remarkable, densely packed, made-with-love experience.

You can call me the Professor Binns of Hogwarts Legacy reviews.I could write a 20 page essay on my entire thoughts on this game, the good and the bad, and would still have more to say. I could make an Angry Joe review look like a YouTube Short in comparison. However, unfortunately, there's a character limit on Steam reviews, making it impossible to bore you to tears like many students experience in history class at Hogwarts (WHICH YOU CAN ATTEND BTW).

My final remarks are that this game is without a doubt worth every penny of the full price, and I hope dearly that this is not the last we will see of Avalanche delving into the Wizarding World. Avalanche have proven themselves as a more than competent, driven, hard-working collection of highly talented industry professionals who are not afraid to put all of their love into creating the best experience possible; even when that experience is far more than most studios would consider adequate.
