I am so grateful for this game. Came at a time in which I had lost passion for gaming and was tired of rewatching the movies/reading the books. Loved it and helped me feel the HP Universe for myself. Hopefully they get a sequel out ASAP with a lot more content (took me like 60 hrs to finish the main quest and all side stuff) and some RPG elements so our choices actually influence what happens in the Universe.

[@KeesieOilcorner]

You can just feel the amount of love put into the world design especially hogwarts. First playthrough really made me relive childhood memories from reading the books and playing the old Harry Potter games, it was so good.

[@Nitroh-]

I love the game so much, people say "it's boring" now without a DLC, which I can see but I just finished my 2nd playthrough and love it just as much as the first. Some repetitive cracks show early on in the 2nd playthrough, and It is a game you would want to play through the story maybe once a year or even less to space it out, but it's still a very good game for what it is. Hope the sequel expands on the lacking features and gives more depth to them too!

[@liyannah]

I agree. It obviously has its flaws, but i really enjoyed playing that game

[@Nitroh-]

@alexwalters35 True, most games would jump on a DLC rather quick. Though I don't expect one, I still wouldn't completely rule it out yet, it's only been a year and a few months, took Cyberpunk years for Phantom Liberty, 2 years for Elden Ring DLC, so you never know what the next year or so will bring, but even so I'm content with what we have. WB probably thinks it's best to save resources for a sequel, make a bigger package basically.

[@jkudasai104]

@@alexwalters35the only reason the game sold well is because there’s been a craving for a HP game for a long time now, but the game was garbage and numbers dwindled instantly, no reason to make dlc for A game that dies over a weekend

[@naomitrimble6805]

​@@alexwalters35If they're working on a sequel, DLCs or expansions would be a waste of resources. They're far less profitable and only really make sense in games that either have live-service multiplayer elements or games that will never have a sequel, so the only way to continue making money from it from existing players is to provide new in-game content.

[@marcfilms999]

I played the game and most of its content. Once the story is over there's really no reason to play because there's no end game at all. Going around doing collectibles is outdated because of Ubisoft and studios like it adding a nightmarish amount of them that do nothing for the game besides give small bits of XP. People have been begging for a DLC and for a game that broke sales records they should listen to fans. The open world was fun but most of it has nothing in it. The forbidden forest was super tiny compared to everything else. I envisioned the forbidden forest to be as massive and creepy as it was in the books and movies. Enemy variety was also terrible. Most enemy types are reskins. Dueling Club was shockingly disappointing, no quidditch (can't spell that word), and you only went to classes once. People wanted to experience the classes on top of having an actual story. Like How Bully was. The game was fun it was severely lacking any content outside of the story and region bosses. Mini games were some of my favorite things to do in old HP games. Like in Order of the Pheonix wizard's chess and that marbles game were super fun to do and at time challenging. Half Blood Prince even had a constant quidditch and dueling club game as well as potions. I never finished that game because my PS3 started having problems, but I loved it. SO many things in the older games could've been made to expand side content but they barely added any. The game may as well have been just a normal story game with no open world or hub area. I did however get my money's worth from it. I had fun but the ending just left me empty and disappointed that there wasn't much to do aside from story and getting collectibles. They haven't listened much to the community on what needs to be added or improved despite breaking records in sales. Doesn't seem like a gamer friendly company. Especially since the second one will be live service.

Console exclusive quest imo is a big deal because your cutting out content for other platforms while still expecting them to pay full price and doing stuff like that just leads to even more being cut out potentially in a different game if its accepted.

[@keiichi8191]

You can look at it as content that was cut out if you want to, but it's more accurate to say that it's content which wouldn't have existed at all without Sony giving them the funds to develop it in exchange for a temporary period of exclusivity.

Ive really enjoyed this game. I was surprised completely when they started updating it all of a sudden. I thought for sure it was forgotten and done. Im happy they are giving us things that used to be exclusive to platforms or game editions. They seem to have taken a bunch of shortcuts all over the game. The Switch version is a good example of how shortcuts can be taken to get the game to play basically. I think they did the same shortcut thing to begin with to get the game out and playing initially. Thats why the render thing with the grass you showed happens. One of many shortcuts. Thats why the pathing is goify in some areas and things tend to glitch going in and out of cutscenes.

IRL monthly shift incorporated into the game for seasons would be great.....or every month as ex: Jan-winter,Feb-spring,Mar-summer,Aprill-autumn etc.... considering that one of the games I know like Batman Arkham Knight has this man-bat easter egg which happens every oct IRL or when you manually set PC to oct the event spawns... so.... couldn't seasons be incorporated the same way?.... i mean like even Assassins Creed Valhalla even has some christmas,easter,Halloween holiday themed timed events for like 1-2weeks...

[@Viper-dz2kw]

My only thought would be they’re not adding it cause they want people to play the game and be done with it, it’s notable they haven’t added any story expanding dlc so it really seems like they want people to experience the story the way it’s meant to and then move on, adding a post game feature like changing seasons doesn’t seem like part of the vision

[@korribreki]

I'll look forward to your KCD2 review even though I'll probably buy the game no matter what

[@personatodo]

You know what would also be nice? If they include the whole game on disc for consoles without connecting to the Internet to download majority of the data for it to work but that's asking too much from western AAA game publishers like WB, EA and Ubisoft nowadays.

[@jimm1villa]

As an Xbox user, I enjoyed the new quest. Started to clear up remaking achievements. So it’s got me on the game again!

[@onslaught147]

I know I'm late, but the fact that the base game doesn't allow you to change season still pisses me off. The option being kinda available in the photo mode is just insult to injury.

[@MakeTheWay00]

My main gripe with Howard’s legacy can’t be fixed with a dlc, that being, it’s a story game, not a true RPG. Its fun and whimsical but I was hoping for a real RPG where you could really choose your own path and make choices that really effected the narrative and relationships. Sure, there are some choices to make and you can quest at your own leisure but overall the game is quite linear no matter how you decide to play.

I can’t play the haunted shop quest because it’s region locked and my game came from England apparently.

[@KxNOxUTA]

What? Why? So it unlocks later or what's the idea?

[@marcfilms999]

@@KxNOxUTA Yes. I had this problem. Amazon seems to have a massive problem lately of sending Americans Euro versions of the game. Happened with 3 games from me and it locked the game's content/ dlc behind a region lock thing. SO i refunded it and stated they gave me the wrong game type. They oddly sent me a French version of some other game. Amazon is ran by idiots for the most part. If they aren't sending my the correct product the actual product gets lost in shipping and take over a week to send. If it says its here tomorrow it turns out it meant a week from tomorrow.

I wish they would fix the frame time issues it has.

They need dynamic seasons, not just when you progress, make it change with a calendar !

[@l3v1ckUK]

So far I'd say the shop quest is darker (more horror like) than any other quests in the game.

[@CMDR_Elizium51RA]

I was literally playing today, after a long time away. No mods. Just regular game. Noticed the exact same grass pop-in.

[@Tamar10000]

I just bought the game for 40 bucks a few weeks ago and I’m having a blast. I’m about half way if not 3/4 done with the game and I’m glad to hear they added even more. I’m about 30 hours in at level 26.

The disappointing thing about the hogsmeade quest is that it was bugged for a lot of people (including myself)

[@chalk-one]

Following the patch, the issue with foliage loading in late after exiting the menu is also present in the PS5 version.

I dont know if anyone else has said this, but i believe the glasses were in reference to Harry's glasses before Hermione fixed them during their first meeting.

[@ChocVanSwirl]

Would love it if I could actually play it. Did a fresh install of it yesterday as I finished the game shortly after it released, and it crashes every 15-30 minutes or so. No warning, no error, just kicks me back to Desktop. Happening to others as well. It seems as if they didn’t really “test” it at all. Also colors look totally washed out now and getting random stuttering. It never did this before in my first play through.

[@lumeronswift]

When a photo mode is considered flagship content... there's nothing. Photo mode was curious when... I can't remember what game it was... provided it around twenty years ago. Screenshots have served me just fine since then.

[@kinomanssky]

Luke NEEDS to try UEVR in Hogwart Legacy!

[@hacksawDDS]

I know they said no Quidditch ever, but realistically that's the only thing that's really going to get people to go back to the game at this point. Definitely not reinstalling a game I 100%'d last year for a photo mode and one quest.

[@lukemase7595]

i had a dream I walked into Luke’s house while he was with company and at first he was really weirded out but then we started talking about video games and he got chill. i just remembered the dream when i saw this video on my homepage

I just played for the first time and didn't know the shop quest was new content. The dissapointment when after all of that epic quest the shop was a lie. I mean it said i could sell anything... At least sell by gear for 50% extra...

[@cecilboyd1692]

I have a ps5 so i didnt know they locked the best quest to a console exclusive. This is dirty work. I thought it was fine game. Got kinda boring towards the end. If they do a sequel, they should definitely add some sort of mortality system if you have the option of using the curses.

[@JMS_Saint]

For me ive been buying deluxe or collectors edition since halo 2 The only reason why i get it Is bec its like a high for me A mystery package more or less I like buying the extra stuff an see what cools thinga i get sometimes its cool sometimes its useless stuff But never have i had in mind when buying the deluxe or collectors edition just to make the game easy Thats only been a thing with modern games Back in the day There was never ever any item that made the game easier for you ..

Hey Luke! I saw hogwarts 2 got confirmed and was wondering if you would be able to do a video on what you would want to see, some of the things that need to be changed and parts left out that you'd definitely want. Your review was so detailed and you covered a lot of what I'm talking about, and it might just be me but i'd love to know what you'd want to see come up. Personally the ministry of magic and diagon alley im crossing my fingers for 🫶

I’m only ok with console exclusives if it’s the game as a whole. Not content within a shared game.

With that Azkaban outfit i thought they would add a new Azkaban zone with a questline taking you there to free someone or something really dark, with like 10 hours of gameplay or so. But i guess they are working on another game.
