Here's my FULL REVIEW of Hogwarts Legacy - This is SUCH A GAME!

[@ircha]

Come talk with us about Hogwarts on the discord: discord.gg/XmHmBMr 😁 First impression Hogwarts talk at podcast kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipmcpJuMn5x-la8

[@ShoZama85]

Such a Review!😁

[@briguy1817]

This is the only game that has ever made me cry. It was such a good story

[@xtranathor8143]

You always manage to talk about things in your reviews that no other reviews comment on, as I've come to expect! This game looks fantastic, and I'm eager to get it (once I've built my new PC)!

[@ircha]

THANK YOU 😍😍 that's what I love to hear! ❤️

[@jimbeaux89]

I can’t get enough of this game. I get SOOOO sad when I have to go to bed and then to work every morning. This is the type of game that I want to do nothing but sit in front of my tv and series x. I’d seriously rate it a 9.5/10

[@GoldChocobo77]

I totally get the feeling of not wanting to go to bed lol like kids when they want to stop playing and go to sleep

[@tinyhats]

This game is genuinely straight into my top 3 favorite games of all time.

[@vengenaceearly255]

You are in my top three of all time. 😘

THE best game I have played for a while, I have been craving a game to get lost in. This is the one! Oh my gosh, the suggestion of having a LOTR game by this development studio, it must happen!

[@ircha]

Yes omg that would be so awesome 😍😍

[@jimbeaux89]

I would LOVE an LOTR game by these guys

[@steveg8337]

Yes, amazing game indeed. I just turned 65 and still love these types of games. I also have a Denon 7.2 system and that sounds amazing, they did an awesome job coding the sound also. I believe they worked on this for 5 years. Anyway hello from ne montana.

Hi Ircha! Love the review and yes I'm too obsessed and playing nonstop! Also I noticed you didn't mention the aspect of collecting rare monsters/animals like Pokemon lol. Like you can create more within the room of requirement for these animals.

HELLA underrated channel, appreciate your honest and detailed reviews

Thank you 😍

[@wade8080]

I’m about 30 hours in, and this game has quickly vaulted into my top 5 games of all time. I’m a huge HP fan, but it’s nice to see a non-HP fan can very much enjoy the game!

It's so nice to have a game that feels complete for once. Its such a great surprise.

[@Pointman11111]

Yes Same for me with Wanted dead Guardians of the galaxy Resident evil village Forspoken (i know it has dlc announced but still)

[@jase276]

I grew up with HP. My aunt and I are potterheads. We went to every book opening, [almost] every movie opening. Despite all of that, I almost let this game pass me by. I was originally going to wait until it went on sale before getting it but when I heard you could actually make your own character I caved hard and bought the deluxe edition for the early access as well. And wooooo sheesh. This game is an absolute dream come true for a harry potter fan, let me tell you. So much passion put into this game. I kinda regret going 22 hours before finally getting my broom, though, lol.

[@ircha]

It's so amazing 😍 😍

The discord for this channel is amazing! I just joined and the people there are super fun and friendly!! It's great!

[@bhill005]

“Magical,” the exact word I stated when I thought how I would describe Hogwarts Legacy in one word as the game captures every sense of its meaning. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that has left me more in awe upon every corner I turn. Very often I’ll just sit there with my character just taking in the surrounding environment. It’s ridiculous how much depth and detail went into this. I didn’t know shit about what a Gryffindor or Hufflepuff was before I bought this game, lol. But, the overall great reviews struck my curiosity and I have no regrets whatsoever. Amazing game, absolute masterpiece

[@journeysilvers9838]

This is one of those games that's gonna be so satisfying and fun to 100%. Catching pages is such a fun way to handle collectibles, and I'm constantly running around revelio-ing everything. Gonna go for that platinum!

I'm gonna try to get that Platinum as WELL 👌 😁

Never cared for Harry Potter before but love this game!! I might pick up the box set and read the books now as well. Great video and look for ward to seeing more of your reviews.

[@lukeshoo]

The books are great. The first two are written as children's books but after that they get really deep.

[@jase276]

The movies are lightning in a bottle

[@JonathanOber]

There are some loadings screens/stutteers when you go into or out of Hogwarts. From time to time I get a small loading icon as the game transitions to the outside, but it's not all the time and it's not a huge hinderance. I also get the black screen when fast traveling but even that is only a 3-5 second stop and not too bad to deal with. I am playing on PS5 as well and about 25 hours in.

[@ilianieves9144]

I will be playing this game until May when Tears of the Kingdom releases! Im loving every minute of it!

[@tyler38rage]

53 hours for me to 100% the game and I'm on my second playthrough with a different house. Started in slytherin due to my questionnaire before the games release.

[@cozyfairy]

I've been waiting for this game for AGES and I'm not disappointed. One thing is that my character looks nothing like she should, it's so different from its version in customization panel. And the face expressions looks so bad, I've showed some screenshots to my friends and we all had a good laugh because of them

[@keith4047]

Hi Ircha, If you liked flying the 🧹broomstick🧹 got a treat instore for you, you're going to love flying the 🐦hippogriff, 🐦its is so much more majestic and awesome to fly. (Yes the broomstick is the go to means of travel, (barring the fast travel points)) You have not unlocked the best parts of the "Room" yet, the multiple biomes and what you put in them is insane, you're fall in love with that bit I'm sure. This is differently the BEST game released in years. I agree the Character customisation was lacking was hoping to customise ones characters body as well and head customisation were lacking. I'm playing on PC have no loading screens apart from the shaders loading at turn-on/ start. Playing on my 1-2 yr old PC 3070 ti I7-10th gen. getting around 140 FPS. Good review, could not have said it better myself loving it. I'm also not a fan of Harry Potter like you watched the first couple of movies and yea they were ok, but its been the only game I've been playing since its pre-release a few days ago as well.

[@yakumorisuke9403]

Which house were you playing? Because I've heard Ravenclaw isn't particularly great, but I don't really know what that means...Do you know if there really is that much difference between the houses?

[@ircha]

There are only a few minor differences in the houses. One of them has an exclusive quest.

[@yakumorisuke9403]

@@ircha Thank you!! Sounds like the differences were overexaggerated then - I'm pleased to hear it :D

[@thefearmakerlive]

Great review. Again for me, since I've never been a fan of Harry Potter, even the movies, it's been a hard sell for me. (If you don't know that expression, it means that I'm not the audience for the product, so it has to be extra good for me to pay attention.) And even though the wand combat doesn't look that entertaining to me, if I don't get Octopath Traveller 2, I'll probably pick Hogwarts Legacy up this weekend.

[@christopherflux6254]

When I started this game i’d only seen one of the movies. Not a Potter fan at all, but I’m addicted to this amazing game.

[@jakejameslugo]

My favorite moment in the game is the first time you get the broom and go through the class where you fly around the school... best moment in my experience.

[@ircha]

SO TRUE!

[@jakejameslugo]

@@ircha Definitely one of the best games this year

[@samcs06]

I had some frame drop issues on PS5, and small load times when leaving one part of Hogwarts and going outside. hopefully they can fix these in an update. There really shouldn't be any load times when just traverse the world.

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

"All I'm playing right now is Hogwarts Legacy" That sums me up perfectly right now. I am addicted to this game. I am stunned by how much I am loving it. I been playing since the digital deluxe release and man its so fun. Like you I'm not a some big Harry Potter fan. I didn't watch any of the movies until last year in my 30s. Yet now that I'm 30-40 hours in, I just love it so much. It starts a little slow which is usually a con for me but given the context of the story I am okay with it. When a game is fun, I can forgive a lot.

[@ircha]

It's SO FUN!! 👌

[@JupiterSailfish]

This is exactly why I have been putting this game off because once I start it's going to be the only thing I want to play lol I have it installed and ready to go on my Xbox. I just have a stack of 10+ games I need to play that I'm hoping to finish off at least 1 or 2 before starting this game. I'm gonna be curious to see how the Switch handles this, hopefully they won't be exploding across the world. Great video as always!!

[@Thorn99855]

Holy moly riding a broom in this game looks so friggin awesome! I want to say I just love your reviews. Your enthusiasm and attitude are what I strive for. Your content is very appreciated. I am a bit of a slower gamer, but I am currently playing Breath of the Wild, finally and for the first time, and I am absolutely loving it. So far, I having looked anything up and used any guides except for briefly looking at a map and saying "Holy crap! So many koroks! So many koroks I am missing!" (Although I am finding a fair amount too, 25 so far.) I was really proud of myself when I cracked the "bony crown on a throne" riddle of the one valley/plain. At first I thought, hmmm What monster could this be? But then I was like, wait a minute, this is a riddle and deer wear a crown, where is a giant deer monster on a throne? But then I thought, wait a minute, a mount is kinda like a throne! And taming and riding the buck up onto the platform was just amazing. Not to mention solving the puzzle in that shrine. So, I am getting a little wordy. What I am trying to say is that I am having fun too and your videos are great. Thanks for everything 🧡💙

[@Pantenkind75]

I'm not a Harry Potter fan per se, but if you just like quality video games then it's an absolute must buy. I'm on ps5 as well and it's impressive. This will go down as one of the generations great games.

Took me 14 hours to get me broom lol, ye this game is great so many secrets at one point i even saw one of those People with an suitcase from fantastic beasts to sell those beast to a dark wizard. That was just an npc interaction but very cool to watch haha.

[@vitolibido]

Does this game have any multiplayer or coop?

[@chevyimp5857]

Loving your enthusiasm... Thanks for the overview

[@themilkman5223]

I am in the same boat as you Icha! I only read and watched the first two books/movies when I was younger. I don't consider myself to be a Harry Potter fan at all, but I do appreciate it. I have put a handful of hours into this game and have been lost in Hogwarts castle alone. I don't even have the broom yet lol. I been exploring the castle completing any side quest I come across. When I traveled to Hogsmead for the first time, I was blown away that there was a lot more to the game than Hogwarts castle. I can't wait to play more in my free time, and I think that I'll watch the Harry Potter movies after completing this game. I am a huge fan of this game and I want to become a huge fan of the series.

[@ircha]

Absolutely 😁 😍 😍

[@termina2737]

It’s funny, I kind of had the opposite experience. I was SO hyped for the game when the trailers first came out. But now that I’ve played through the game a bit, it just hasn’t quite gotten me addicted. I’m only at the part where I did the stealth mission in the library, though, so I know there’s quite a bit still left to play, I just haven’t gotten totally hooked yet.

[@ViolinChick5]

This game made me so grumpy I had to put it down. I don’t even know why I didn’t like it, can’t put my finger on it. I was just having an awful time with it, which is super disappointing. So just know you’re not alone.

[@ViolinChick5]

Thanks, as always, for this review! It actually helped me in an unexpected way. I played the game for about 30 hours, till I got so grumpy I just couldn’t continue. It’s been bugging me since: WHY don’t I like this game?! Now I know. I’ve been a long term Harry Potter fan, since the third book was originally released. I’ve read, re-read, and basically memorized all the books. I’ve devoured the movies. This game, while great, doesn’t feel like a Hogwarts/Wizarding World game to me at all. I’m really glad others are enjoying it, and hope it encourages others to enter the worlds of the books & movies too. But for me, I’m glad to be able to have a handle on why I didn’t like it.

[@ircha]

Wow I haven't heard that take before now 😮 but fair enough! 🤗

[@ericgutierrez4289]

I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and I’m addicted to this game but this game is a 9/10, I take away a point simply because of all the bugs I’ve encountered that distracted me and interfered with my experience. I’m sure they’ll release a patch update soon that will change my score to 10/10 but until then it will stay at a 9/10

[@kopicha]

There is no loading screen probably. But you keep saying there is no load times is so inaccurate. There are from time to time some short loading specifically when you going from 1 room to another room specifically when opening the door. There is a short moment of pause even with a loading icon on screen. while it is very brief. probably variable depending on situation between 1-3secs on average. But still that is a load time. Not only I have experience this personally but I believe there are already tons of video / reviews out there that did mention the same. I dont know but your reviews as of late are really questionable at times. And no it is not about Howarts Legacy but in general. I have no interest in politics in game. So it is not an attack to you because it is Hogwarts. I love the game myself too. And you do have at least half of the things pretty spot on in your review of this game. But it should be more honest in the sense where it should be call out for when it is needed. That is how we as a gamer get better products.

I didn't realize PS5 basically had no load screens. WB dropped the ball a bit with the PC release. My PC is definitely superior to a PS5, but I'm getting small loadings before doors open going in/out. Kinda a shame. I do have everything on ultra, though, so that's cool. Doesn't stop the game from otherwise playing great.

[@PopcornRecap]

I play on ps5 and I’ve had some loading on doors. There’s loading times when fast traveling as well but that’s to be expected

[@xtranathor8143]

I think Ircha is referring to lack of loading screens really, rather than tiny load times for doors. I could be wrong though!

[@GevinHuey]

@Xtranathor that's fair. It never removes you from play to load anything (outside of quick travel). Metroid Prime & Batman Arkham games hid their loading screens behind slow opening doors. Early Resident Evil games hid their loading screens behind doors/stairs. It's almost too bad one of these methods weren't adopted. The little loading wheel doesn't take long, but it could have been hidden better.

[@ircha]

I'm referring to the actual "tips text" loading screens, not just the 2 seconds fade-to-black when fast traveling, I've gotten that text screen only once 😂 👍

For a game with a 150 million budget did a good job and knowing the budget I can't see why they couldn't add quiditch cuz then they would have to make that redo it 4 times for the houses people your play against and then you would have 4 different positions to play so basically it be like a sport / maybe race game I would love more places to explore Azkaban and ministry I would love a dlc or add on where we can.
