I love how the combat feels like dance moves , it flows so well

[@gdn86]

Using a keyboard/mouse and it's starting to become more fluid, so I have to almost 'play' my keyboard during the battles. 1 on 1s can have some interesting events, but the big battles are so much fun when you're block/dodging and bouncing spells off enemies. I think a controller would be better, but by this point for me it would be like starting over. This video is a lesson in how to be more intentional in those keyboard 'notes'. The combat is really underrated in this game, because you can be pretty bad and clunky for almost 40% completion. Once you get the timings down, it starts to really evolve. So far, this game is almost a perfect combination of game genres and theme, along with a steady pace, you can forgive a lot of quirks.

[@DougieJonesFBI]

They need people like you to record gameplay for marketing. The pre release combat footage didn't look great but now that I'm playing it I think it's super fun I wasn't expecting the variety of combos

[@fogg0]

Yuuuuup. It looked simple, easy and not too deep which kept me from getting for a few days. I got it and played it and was like wow, this isn’t easy! I love it!

[@fallofshadows2209]

Same here. I actually enjoy the combat. I thought I was going to get annoyed by it, like it would feel like I was just grinding or something.

[@KingCraze22]

The combat is some of the most cinematic gameplay I’ve ever experienced.

I wasn't into the Potter franchise myself however, this game looks like they put everything they had the budget for plus their love for the series into. I'm actually really glad it turned out so well and it's super satisfying to see both the new and veteran fans finally get the game they deserve when it comes to the quality and mechanics.

God, the combat feels amazing & reactive. Just wish there was more enemy variety. It's really lacking in that regard. That said, the enemies you do encounter (particularly other wizards) are pretty dynamic.

@@maineman5757 hopefully there'll be dlc. I want a dlcs exploring the vaults of gringotts & uncovering secrets in the ministry of magic. There could be a london dlc where we could go to diagon alley & some muggle areas. New spells. New talents. New enemies. God, the possibilities are endless.

[@prod.kidmizu]

I wish there were more dark wizards and duels against other friendly wizards honestly. Using the spells against human enemies feels more satisfying than the non human enemies, also once you clear every camp the enemies don’t spawn back in so you have nothing to fight by the end of the game

What a great, freestyling and dynamic combat system we have in here. And so simple... Hats off for devs. It's been a long while since I enjoy a game as I do now. And don't forget graphics and FX.

I'm also a D&D player, love RPG in general, but I am a huge fan of HP since childhoode and I grew to see this story in a different light than the regular fantasy tropes we are used to, they are cool on their own light, not to compare with other wizard types from other epic stories (like Gandalf for example)

My finest combat moment in this game happened by complete accident. I was comboing one of the giant spiders, and when I finished it off it did a nice, cinematic, slow-motion backflip in the air...and all of a sudden, WHAM! It gets nailed by the passing Hogwarts Express and carried off out of sight.

[@dib_human6151]

This game is so fun! The combat is “complex” enough for me to enjoy (Im a Nioh 2 fan so ifykyk). The fact that you can use 16 spells on the fly (fully upgraded) gives me the stance feeling from Nioh. Some of the control’s a little weird for me but really good and satisfying so far

As a Nioh 2 enjoyer hearing that the combat is deep enough from another fan is all I need to hear

[@magilas8485]

@@rookietastic you can personalize your combos which is what I like. There’s also the fact that some enemies will have special reactions to certain spells but you gotta read the enemy guide to know that. Theres definitely elements that any Nioh players could enjoy.

there is a few ways to reflect stuff. a perfect block reflects spells back at wizards and even breaks their shields. what he did there though is that you can use the ancient magic throw on crossbow goblins as they load the crossbow.
