Hogwarts Legacy launches on Xbox Series X|S this week. We've explored the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and its surrounding lands. Here's what we thought...
Like many of you, I spent a considerable amount of my earlier years vicariously embarking on adventures with Harry, Hermione, and Ron via the Harry Potter books and films — I even went as far as owning the Harry Potter school books. Considering that the Wizarding World is jam-packed with lore, I've always felt that the interactive side has always been lacking.
There really are a ton of experiences to uncover, which lead to the game feeling vibrant and full of life. You never quite know what you're going to see when exploring this version of the Wizarding World, except when you're visiting Hogsmeade. In a game that can show you a random NPC walking on a wall one minute and then the next, two ghosts pass through a wall in front of you...
In Hogwarts Legacy, you are the centre of the story. We come to Hogwarts as a new student in the fifth year, possessing the ability to see and wield Ancient Magic. Subsequently, the leader of a Goblin uprising, Ranrok, is after the power for his own devious schemes, and so we become the thorn in his side for the entirety of the main story.
Other than making you look cool, gear plays an important role in your combat prowess, just like any other RPG, so expect bonuses to your offence and defence, as well as boosts to your skills, via Traits. These add even more bonuses to your character, allowing you to buff particular spells that you might use more often than others.
