Hogwarts Legacy: Full of magic and wonder, but at a high cost!

Jacob Handal

Hello Gamers, and welcome to the third edition of Gamer Zone. Today we will be reviewing a game that a friend of mine really wanted me to review. I love this game a ton, but there are some things that I wish could be better, so let's get started! (Also I will keep this spoiler-free.)

First I want to start off by saying that the story in this game has one of the best plots in a game ever. I got so immersed in the world of Hogwarts! And meeting new characters and learning new spells is amazing. I’d say the story is the best part of this game.

Now with the first flaw, progression. Sure, I love the story and all that, but as a fan of fast-paced games, I really do not like the progression in this game. Sometimes talking to the characters can be dull and boring, and some of the missions are just pointless. For example, there is a mission in the game that is about walking to Hogsmeade, I'm just surprised this made it into the game seeing how boring it can be. Although if you like story games, you probably will not notice this flaw.

Now I wanna talk about the spells in this game. The spells in this game are unique and useful in different ways, some can be used for puzzles for side quests, some can be used to attack, and some can be used to light the way. These spells control very well, and I am surprised at how the developers pulled it off.

Finally, is it worth your money? No, I do not think this game is worth the $60 price tag it got. Personally, I got gifted this game by a very good friend of mine, but if you are thinking about getting this game yourself, definitely wait for a sale. I think this game deserves to be $40, but what do I know, I’m a child. 

That’s all for now, see you guys in the next Gamer Zone, bye!
