I think the Map of the castle is absolutely exceptional and there’s a lot of attention to detail.
The main storyline is enjoyable enough, although I wish there was more of a push-back if you choose to use the unforgivable curses. They’re meant to be unforgivable and yet you pretty much get a “oh I wish you wouldn’t do that” when you straight up torture an enemy in front of an NPC.
The main letdown for me is that outside of the castle, a lot of the game feels somewhat empty. It’s not like Skyrim where you go out into the world and you’re always finding little things spread out everywhere that piques your interest. It feels like there’s not much reason to venture out from the castle or Hogsmeade unless a mission explicitly tells you to.
I totally agree with you. The main story was kinda meh for me though. I felt like the quests with Sebastian should be the main story tbh.
Like I said, it was a fun game. I don’t think it was a very good game. However, when you put it the history of this studio into contrast, this game is a big achievement. It was fine as a first game from them, let’s hope the next one will be better.
It’s pretty middling tbh. I played it last year when it was on PSPlus. Certainly couldn’t see a reason for all the hype it got on launch. I assume HP fans are just starved of new content.
The gameplay is OK, but there’s a lot of dicking about swapping spells, it’s too damn long, and honestly not worth your time for a full playthrough. It’s a very standard open world, go to the map icons, do the minigames affair. If you’ve played games in the last ten years, you’ll know exactly what to expect. They’ve made a game for kids that will be played mostly by people who are now adults.
I don’t get it. It’s actually a fun game.

TERF?

Even if you download it for free?
The whole IP is dead to me. It won’t get any of my attention, free or not.

Overall though I do think it’s decent.
