Hogwarts Legacy Getting Good Review Scores So Far

February 6, 2023 by Todd Black

A magical experience?

There are many reasons why Hogwarts Legacy is on the minds of gamers and fans of the franchise right now. The primary one is because this could be one of the most in-depth experiences within this realm that people have ever experienced before, and that’s not nothing. The game promises many things, including how you will “live the unwritten” and thus have an adventure separate from the legendary books. But, the game is also mired in controversy due to the series creator, J.K. Rowling, and many wonder if they should get the game when she profits from it. So yeah, it’s a complicated situation.

That being said, we will inform you that if you are up for getting the title, you likely will have a memorable experience. Some of the first reviews for Hogwarts Legacy have dropped, and according to Metacritic, the response so far is very positive. On the page for the PS5 version of the game, the title currently has an 86 score, with over 40 reviews counted so far. Of course, as we get closer to the game’s release, the number of reviews will increase. But that is a strong score to start, as many feared it could be much lower.

So what are reviewers saying about the game? One reviewer who gave the title a perfect score not only said it was a “masterpiece” but said they “wanted even more” and to see other universes that they adore being given this kind of treatment. That means it could be a benchmark for titles going forward. High praise indeed.

Another reviewer noted that not only does the game live up to all the promises of being a student at Hogwarts, but the narrative experience is grand, and the characters help make the game stand out even more.

Some reviews were fair and noted that not everything about the game was perfect. Multiple reviews, including those with high scores, noted that “technical issues” sometimes plagued the game. Given that the Metacritic scores were for PS5, that’s saying something. In addition, some game elements were tiresome, like gear management. However, that doesn’t stop the game from being fun, and nearly all of them praised the title more than they reprimanded it.

So if this positivity holds, not only do you have a game that you likely will want to play, but it’ll be a title that will provide you with a memorable experience throughout its open world.
