Note, this review is written within the 72 hours early access and is from a person with very little knowledge about the Harry Potter universe. Therefore I might miss aspects of the game, that a fan would like/dislike.

This game is incredible! Far beyond what I expected and I can't get enough!
I've never personally seen a game with such wide variety of gameplay, done so well. You'll decorate large rooms and medows, catch magical beasts and care for them, grow plants and make potions, stealth your way into forbidden places and brutally hunt down goblins with your ancient magic. This is only the surface of the game and after 29 hours of gameplay, I haven't even seen half of the world yet.
Controls feels great, its easy to change spells and the combat is very satisfying. You'll also encounter a large amount of different puzzles, all of which are very well done and generally easy to figure out. Running on ultra settings, graphics are amazing and the world itself is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. The game needs a bit of optimization, but I haven't personally been effected by it beyond a couple of minor FPS drops. I'm sure a patch will be released soon, so I wouldn't worry about this, but do keep in mind, that this game currently is on the heavy side.

This is the type of game I would recommend to everyone. You are sure to find something you'll love here and with the difficulty settings, you can either make this an effortless story or a challenging adventure.
