The Harry Potter-inspired Wizarding World has never meshed well with gaming. 🪄 However, 'Hogwarts Legacy' comes the closest of any to pulling off the trick that had yet to be fully accomplished.
TUCSON, Ariz — The Harry Potter-inspired Wizarding World has never meshed well with gaming. Of the umpteen games released — mostly rushed movie tie-ins — only the 2010"Lego Harry Potter" came close to capturing the magic of the books and films.
Developers Avalanche Software and Portkey Games combine their talents to nail down the essence of what makes the Wizarding World so fascinating. You start by receiving your Hogwarts Acceptance Letter, then make your way toward Hogwarts with a mentor through some puzzle-laden terrain, in what amounts to a tutorial. Then the sassy Sorting Hat asks you a few questions, assigning you to your house. If you don't like your assignment, you can switch to another.
Sweeping visuals, a captivating score and engaging gameplay help hook you. The puzzles are challenging without being overwhelming, and there is always gentle, steady guidance as to what to do next. Myriad side quests are available to distract you — as well as enhance — the main path.
