Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Review

[@jimbeaux89]

So stupid of them not to add Quidditch as a dlc for HL..

[@steven_r33d]

Why would they? Quidditch is not a good game, very poorly designed. The only player that really matters is the seeker. I was glad they left it out of Hogwarts Legacy

[@julianmorning]

@@steven_r33ddid you even watch the review or play the game before commenting? The rules have been changed to balance the game out and make it worth your time.

This simply should be a minigame in Hogwart Legacy.

Should have been DLC.

They need to hurry up and make it 6v6 / Competitive. This needs to be an esports so we can have a real life Quidditch World Cup. Also add more MODES! (To add on: why didn’t they just make a first person Battle Royale or an extraction game called “ Battle of Hogwarts”

This game is similar to star wars squadrons in the way that its a really good game for what it is, but gets next to no content because it's not a cash grab for investors.

[@Redbloodedsky]

And there are lessons to be learned from Squadrons: the ship upgrades were a grind, teams were larger but this meant spending a lot of time waiting for a game and pc players ruining the cross play experience.

[@tazatom]

Gamecube had Quddich game by EA and was great back then? Why didn't EA make more?

[@warrensmith5066]

Because if ea made it now. It would have a million microtransactions for cosmetic items. An ultimate team mode where they have more microtransactions and would be a £70 game.

[@TaniaDlc-z2x]

Cause WB had the IP

[@darknight10000]

It's possible it didn't sell that well and WB decided not to let EA make more Quidditch games.

[@MrMaurice5]

The GameCube game was pretty fantastic back in the day. I was hope this would be comparable to that.

[@CrispyyFella]

Saying Quiddich was only added to the books to show how special Harry is angers me like what

[@laurakinney3767]

Same and it's funny because The books also had Victor Krum who is arguably the best seeker in the world and who Harry is clearly Fanboyed about. So there is no way Harry was " special", he was just a naturally gifted player like his Dad. Plus Quidditch also helped Harry having some kind of Confidence about being naturally talented in something . He was average in his academics so it made sense he would be better at sports

[@Kidusy4]

@@laurakinney3767 Wouldn't really call him average. He was by far the best at DADA and got decent marks on everything else without ever really trying

[@LAceOfClubs]

xDDDDDD IGN makes very good points when reviewing, they always talk about the bad and good. Their reviews are very much worth watching, just ignore the final score. The final score is basically a meme.

[@theoblongbox4909]

Most top sports games today have things to do outside of just playing the sport, like they have some sort of story or detailed campaign mode that adds to the game. It's a big part of the sports game market today and it's worth mentioning if a game doesn't have it or does a bad job of it.

​@@LAceOfClubsFuck IGN

[@bramreijrink4931]

"There's nothing to do off court" You mean like in EVERY fifa game ever? What do you expect from a game called quidditch champions, a full open world story game?

[@Clearon]

I remember years back ago for $50 games. Games used to come with the whole package. They had single player multiplayer coopera playlist before EA monetize everything.. now you got to pay 50-60 bucks base game, another 40 bucks for the DLC *cough* expansion packs.

[@jadedragon216]

Surprised that WB didn't turn this into a F2P gacha game.

[@davethibault6734]

Yet

[@SteezysWorld]

Like what game?

[@Lynxan]

I’ll say it, Multiverses

[@TheAssassin275]

the gameplay shown in this review is horrible. The game is really fun but it shows the one who made this didn't play a lot. The way he chases the snitch and shoots quaffles, doesn't utilize drifts tells it all. The game is actually pretty deep and has a high skill ceiling in pvp.

[@cinamynj]

Thanks for that! I’m looking for proper reviews

[@beeloblak]

It's the rocket league of the wizard world

[@PlsSubscrib]

This is a lie. This isn't even a half truth. There is no depth. There is no skill based gameplay. Every action button feels mushy and inconsistent. The game has upgradable items which convinces simpletons that they are improving at the game when in reality they are just playing more. The way he chases the snitch is the only way you can catch the snitch, it's a drifting and boosting minigame, you might feel like you're doing better but you just have a better broom because there's no special skill to it.

[@alextrevelian]

Because football games really draw a large crowd with gameplay any different than football matches and tournaments?

[@dustinschings7042]

"Once you land between matches, Quiddich Champions doesn't have much off the pitch to keep you coming back." What a silly take. This is a "sports" game essentially, like Madden, etc. You don't play those games for the locker room gameplay, you play them for the games/matches.

[@CLuBBeR_LaNe]

The fact that you guys reviewed this worse than concord is mind boggling. Will never trust another review again.

[@rebecca3758]

I remember the GameCube quidditch glitching to just be eyeballs on a broom 👁️🧹👁️

[@mckinleyfisher-lynd3896]

Not saying this game is a masterpiece by any means but saying there isn't enough to do off the pitch in a Quidditch game has got to be one of the most irrelevant criticisms I have heard from you guys in a while. That's like complaining that I can't run around in an open world in FIFA, who cares?

[@leoviper]

Really makes you feel like Harry Potter

[@ramdjow2882]

Makes you feel like Harry potters broom

[@ohnobro4760]

[@m33st3rdanny]

I remember quidditch on the GBA. Depending on how many points you scored, you got a certain amount of boost in the last race for the snitch. Catching the snitch would give an insane amount of points so usually you won right there. I found those rules more logic. But this game is really well done. Catching the snitch twice feels weird but I can’t complain 😅

[@alvinbates21985]

They know they wanted to give it a 7 i swear they skin boiling 😂

[@laytonoliver1426]

Firstly I'll say it, great game, not sure why it took this long to make a quidditch game again when all the base mechanics were there from back in GameCube, love the game. Side note for PVP if you choose to be the beater and stop another from being so, atleast use the position when the seeker is on the field

[@thegreatnoldini]

It's pretty fun, but the menus are bugged in the PS4/5 version of the game, and not all of the customization options are actually able to be selected, and sometimes your cursor disappears entirely

[@lrgpanda9037]

Whats stopping anyone from just going straight to the goal and scoreing.iv seen alot of videos ware they do that.i wanna see how the defense works

[@nailinthefashion]

Because the goalies and beaters are supposed to control the flow of that, so the chasers aren’t just going back and forth scoring..

[@xeric1953]

Within one week, steam charts dropped from 6.5k peak, to under 1000. We're in the middle of an event right now and we're only peaking in the 400's. Game is having too many server issues so people have largely moved on. Very sad and unfortunate the poor management of the game.

Feels like Rocket League with a bit more depth but a lower skill ceiling too.

[@Nitroh-]

Quidditch champions is a fun game once you get the hang of the controls, basically Rocket League but in Quidditch format. Although, Quidditch World Cup 2003 is still the better game imo. The only thing Champions does better over World Cup is online multiplayer, the gameplay format is still better designed in the old game.

[@Bloodthriver]

still will get on qwc on my gamecube from time to time for nostalgia purposes. comparing the 2 this new version just sucks

[@PlsSubscrib]

Can you please name one feature that is like rocket league? There's no edge of your seat epic saves, there's no setting up a crazy pass and following through with a team mate, there's no learning to flip or jump well, there's no equivalent to learning to control yourself in the air, there's no equivalent to wall passing, there's no equivalent to learning positioning. Nothing about this game is like rocket league except for the fact it presents itself as a 3v3 sport. The actual quality of the gameplay are worlds apart.

no microtransactions????? well that's a 10/10 for me
