Harry Potter Quidditch Champions is Actually Fantastic [Review]

Harry Potter Quidditch Champions, a brand new title from Unbroken Studios, is finally here. After the incredible success of 2023’s Hogwarts Legacy, WB Games is looking to capitalize once again on the ever popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

[@MsMeyara]

I'm a book purist, I call myself that proudly but these changes are SO DAMN GOOD! I think many diehard fans are agreeing that with me.

[@DayvonR64]

I think Quidditch Champions has an amazing foundation and the structure is just made to be built up overtime. I understand the upset fans who wanted it to be a 1:1 interpretation of the lore accurate Quidditch but I see why they made the changes. Having 2 beaters would almost always result in 1 person camping whoever has the quaffle and the other camping the keeper or seeker. The whole snitch changes are obvious too, however I really hope they make a custom match mode where you can choose how many points the snitch is worth or set it to happen at a specific time in the match. Overall, the game is exactly what I wanted a qudditch game to be. I've seen many people compare it to World Cup and feel its a downgrade due to no combos or cinematics and I wish they'd consider the fact that World Cup was made as a single player game in mind. It would be torture if every 10 seconds we had to sit through short cutscenes and most the gameplay was focused on CPU teammates (which quite a few people don't want here) so combos were capable. The only thing I believe World Cup does better is the amazing and gorgeous stadiums and fields, I hope we get a lot of different variations and maybe some with hidden nooks and crannies.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Great post!

[@itizamystery]

I agree with the cutscenes being removed, but I wish that they would have somehow captured the different personalities that each team in World Cup had. I know the cutscenes factor into that personality but I dislike that I can only play as my 6 person custom team. I wish each team had unique players and personalities based on who they are / represent. You can play against these custom teams but you cant just select one and use their players. I also wish the career mode was longer, I beat it twice in like 3 hours, so I hope they add more tournaments and the ability to choose whatever team you want in future updates. Asking them to add personalities to each team might be a bit much, but at least let me use the team.

[@DayvonR64]

@@itizamystery Nah, I don't think that'd be asking for too much. Even in the campaigns they kind of give off a vibe that each team plays a certain way be they aggressive, strategic, defensive, etc. Considering we have customization options for things like wands when we only see wands during emotes or victory poses, they should have given us another one for playstyles. Then depending on the style it could change certain animations to give each player the feeling of being different. Not all of us want to play as the happy-go-lucky characters portrayed. Making tackles look like punches or being able to hear an evil laugh whenever you score a goal or hit someone with a bludger could make all the difference.

[@Eanakba]

art direction is the main thing world cup has over this, the characters look like they're for the meta quest and that bothers tf out of me

[@DayvonR64]

@@Eanakba I'll admit that I wish they would have gone with something that allowed for a bit more detailed, especially when you look at Fred/George and the literal only difference is the tiniest movement of hair. They really could have allowed them to have the same outfit but with changes to show differences like pants scrunched up or something. Aside from that though, I wonder if they went with a more cartoony version to separate itself from Hogwarts Legacy even more. People already think this game was a removed feature from HL despite it being made by different studios.

[@lavawastaken]

3v3 is fun but personally I can't wait for the 6v6. The close beta they had like last year was 6v6 and was some of the most fun I've had, keeper was also always involved having to place the speed buffs around teammates or enemies when they were closing in, hope it's coming out soon.

[@LLay_]

Ye it will be really cool and competitive

[@RetroRaconteur]

Good to hear! What about seeker? Did they just spectate until the snitch arrived?

[@guilhermepinheiro5342]

In the book/movies its 7 players..

[@JDTStagg88]

@@guilhermepinheiro5342 They HAVE to change the rules a bit for the game to be enjoyable. For example, 150 points for the snitch? That will make the seeker the only really important player on the field and that won’t be fun. Also, having 2 beaters will just make the game so unenjoyable as it will be far to easy for one just to target the keeper all game and the other targeting the rest. It’s not so bad at the moment because most people are still learning the game, but I’ve already encountered a couple of excellent beaters. Having 2 of them, it will be almost unplayable for everyone else. The game definitely deviated slightly from the books, but in my opinion after hours already playing the game, that was an absolute necessity for the overall enjoyment of the game

[@TheIrishBosnian]

Hogwarts legacy looks great , as does this game, but Quidditch should've been added in. Higwarts legacy is missing 10% of its world.

[@benjo2946]

Im glad its a stand alone experience.

[@elmondo-s1e]

@@Liberaven​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠have you ever played any other pvp games like rocket league for one example? Seasons are what developers use to encourage people to keep playing. Every season has cool things to unlock at every level like the moonstones or gold or cosmetics. So they do a “new season” each year with different themes and new items to unlock so people stay engaged and motivated to keep playing. It’s a popular model and usually works well if the gameplay is good enough. The “challenges” tab is also a really good way to unlock stuff, take some time diving into it. I know it’s a lot of menus but you can get new brooms and stuff for completing those challenges. Once you get used to it, it all makes sense. I just need them to fix all the stupid bugs on Xbox!!

[@kreia187]

I expected to enjoy this game, because Quidditch is cool and i used to be one of the people disappointed, that it wasn't part of legacy. That being said, I am not usually big into sports games or even competitve games, so I didn't think I would put a ton of time into it. God damn did they deliver. It's honestly been years since i played a new game that just FEELS this good. Of course it's not perfect, but it gets pretty much all the important bits right, and some of them, the flying first and foremost they nailed perfectly. Even as someone who wouldn't exactly be considered the target audience, this completely won me over. I will now forever defend the decision to cut quidditch from legacy and give its own game. They have earned that.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! I know people expect me to like every Potter game but i legitimately was not expecting to enjoy it this much 😂 The mechanics are so good.

[@awatt884]

You can already see the variation in skill levels and people pushing techniques and formations. It’s so good to see.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Exactly

[@junvarc]

I’m sooo glad the changed the stupid rule of 150 points. That actually makes the game fun.

[@Lv4c7]

why

[@MacSammo64]

People always complain about something they can’t do better. This game is amazing and in my opinion I don’t care that it wasn’t a part of Hogwarts Legacy for the simple fact that Quidditch has always been its own game.

[@TinyTorah]

I’m torn. While it’s not that big a deal that it’s a separate game that wasn’t part of Legacy (Legacy was already a MASSIVE game), back in the day, many games, even ones that were good and had a lot of content in the base-game, had plenty of comprehensive and well-fleshed-out minigames. FFX and Blitzball definitely come to mind. 🤷‍♂️

[@broderickfoster2107]

My only complaint would be I wish they’d add the goal sound from the first movie so it really felt more like a goal than Rocket League

[@klp406]

To everyone complaining about the snitch, game mechanics are complicated. They HAD to change it to 30 points, otherwise the mechanics of the game wud be broken. If the first person to snitch wins, then matches would only last like 2 min. Its not a big deal, catching it pretty mych still puts u in a strong lead, but it gives the gamers a chance to enjoy matches for longer and more fair. Game is awseome. I love rocket league, but honestly, harry potter champions is kinda more fun 😅

[@kreia187]

It can be summed up in J.K. Rowling being good at creating a world people love, but not being great at game design.

[@Joe-gy7dc]

I agree mate I think the snitch being worth 30 and coming out twice can be a massive swing but doesn’t completely kill the games

[@shalomproduction6367]

The gamea works fine in a book less so in this game game​@@kreia187

[@LMZ363]

Some games the beaters are so good and the seekers are bumping each other so much that there’s only enough time for one snitch. As the seeker you can only catch the snitch if you’re ahead of the other seeker, even if the other seeker has 100% snitch meter, so playing through an actual neck and neck race with the seekers bumping each other for a chance to win the game just feels incredibly authentic to quidditch and it’s incredible what they were able to accomplish.

[@Sparks1021]

[@PomboTheScruff]

At first the game was kicking my butt, it took some getting used to before I finally got the hang of it. Now I'm crushing it. You just have to persevere and the game becomes quite addictive. I only wish it was a little more impressive graphically, but everything else is fantastic.

[@Vrinara]

I really do like this game, but I do feel it get's repetitive, and im not the type to play PVP. So far I have gotten through most of the cups, (Working on Tri Wiz now.) and I'm enjoying the game. Beater seriously surprised me and I absolutely love it.

[@MsMeyara]

I get you with the repetitiveness of this game, but tbh isn't that with most ''sports''-games? though? And it's up to you how you play it.

[@Vrinara]

@@MsMeyara You aren't wrong. It's most sports games. I've been playing it slowly and enjoying it in small doses.

[@bukojoetheslapsoils8273]

It will definitely be repetitive if you don't play PvP. Once you've played through things, you've seen it all. Once you understand how enemy AI works, then nothing is gonna be new. PvP is what makes all the variations depending on how good and how your opponents play. I really hope this game becomes an eSport.

[@HYPRpotions]

​@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 I just don't see it as a more competitive game than FIFA or Rocket League. Especially with the latter being a free game. If they made it so that there is minimum assistance and you actually had to work for tackles and throws, they yea maybe, but at the moment the game isn't dynamic enough. The game is too rigid and assisted compared to Rocket League where you have to make micro adjustments for every single thing in the game due to the ball physics

[@maproductions9269]

I would highly recommend trying PvP. There are some really good chasers out there, but I main beater and love taking out opposing chasers going after our chasers who hold the quaffle

[@cwolfpack3]

The lack of story is what deters me, in addition to my old lady fine motor issues in operating the controls. What Hogwarts Legacy got right (in attracting the HP IP fans) is STORY, and there was plenty of it. At its heart, this IP is all about story and connecting us emotionally to invest time in the lives of our favorite characters. A pure sports game loses my attention quickly without a good story attached to it.

[@Troy_Palo24]

I highly doubt that this game was intended to have an extensive story or lore at all, it’s a competition game at its core and their trying to break into that field, adding story would deter more of the general audience.

[@Omega068]

4:05 Makes sense. The book version was fine for what it was, but aside from very weird situations pretty much only the seeker mattered in that format.

I watched the initial stream of yours whilst my game was downloading. The roles are great in game and function very well imo. Seeker is my favourite by far.

[@dylanmcleod5489]

Such a fun game!!

[@hazok4351]

Keeping the keeper and seeker entertained throughout the game is easy: Make Keepers have more time to place boosts, in a way that can actually strategize the game, luring the chasers of your team to strategic positions, maybe by giving the keeper a more panoramic view of the game upon request, and voice lines or stamps to position players. Alternatively, you could give the Keeper the ability to switch with the second, missing beater, to play offense at the other side of the field when the quaffle is out there, and leave the original beater closer to the home hoops. To make beaters less annoying if there were two, instead of being able to "summon" a bludgeon, you will need to chase them and then direct them as you hit them. As for the Seeker, to make them have something to do throughout the whole game, remove the hint arrow pointing to the snitch, and just make it leave a trail, so they would constantly be looking for it. Also, they could make the process of finding it in the first place longer, by actually surveying the pitch longer listening for the sound and following the glint only.

[@xxrockraiderxx]

Things I'd love to see which I feel we'll likely get over time: More single-player leagues to play in. I'd love to see the British league with all the teams, especially if we get it as a full league where you play against every other team twice. But also it'd be great to see other national leagues like the French or Brazilian, or even international leagues like safe a Quidditch version of UEFA or the Copa. Oh and of course other school leagues. More national teams teams for the World Cup. More stadiums. This'll likely happen. We have descriptions of a couple of the British league teams' grounds so we might get more of them. But also would love to see Quidditch stadiums for Ilvermorny, Castlebruxo, Koldovstoretz, and Mahoutokoro. More character skins. Again this one will likely happen. But getting Krum, and other famous Quidditch players as optional skins would be cool. There is something I'd love to see which may not happen though, and that is environmental effects. For example I'd like it if during heavy rain the beater can't target as far away, in hail you could take a small amount of damage if you use a speed boost, and during a thunderstorm you get the heavy rain effect plus the added danger of a bolt of lightning once every 30 seconds. A weather system that had game effects would be great for single player as well as the more casual online games and just add an extra layer of complexity to the game. Otherwise I think the game looks to have a solid base to build off of and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

[@Lasseboss]

Hey. Would it be better to play on controller or keyboard+mouse?

[@RetroRaconteur]

I’ve always been a controller player but I can see how mouse/keyboard may work pretty well for certain positions (like chaser especially).

[@wesjellema5360]

I like the game but to me it gets rather uninteresting. After playing for 30 minutes you can probably beat every team on hardest settings pretty easily. The campaign mode just seems a bit bland and it definitely needs some touch ups imo. I would like to see a more engaging career mode. Where you actually have to practise, choose teammates that are doing tryouts, learn new tricks and skills over time, etc.

[@theroguejestertv677]

Just so I can nerd out Who played quidditch world cup? I grew up on it . I loved it so much, this feels like an advanced spiritual successor to a true lover of the Harry Potter Universe, god forbid the meta gamers are unhappy, this is a great game that encapsulated my love for QWC that I grew up with, but more strategy and depth than I expected when i impulse bought it and I'm so happy I did Also whats everyones opinion on the new map coming in (i think forbidden forest) in october

[@Jedi_flodux]

I love this actually so much. I only wish it had 6v6 PvP (I know they said they are working on it) and I would love to see a ranked mode

[@LMZ363]

The matchmaking issues are entirely because everyone wants to play beater and seeker. Not only do I queue instantly as a keeper, but I’m almost always joining a game that’s already started. I don’t mind though because I love being able to play keeper and turn the tides with a few good saves. However, this makes me very nervous for 6v6 and I hope they add some sort of priority system where you’re not just queuing for a single position.

[@mirari_engaged]

Feel like when the 6v6 drops. The role of seeker would add another beater too the field. Till the snitch drops.

[@Daytondaily]

So for the first two days I was intimidated by all the positions, but once I got the controls for chaser and seeker down…. Nothing is more fun than chasing that ball hahaha

[@2sallads]

I personally love 3v3. It not only is a perfect balance for competitive play, but having the option to switch between two positions, create a meta-in itself. Do you switch to a beater to defend your teammate or switch to get a pass and score yourself. Leaving the other position open leaves it up to the AI, which is obviously unreliable and a great way to balance that decision making.

[@2sallads]

Overall, I’m loving the hell out of this game and if they add 6V6 i’m sure it’ll be a fun chaos. But not something I would play and take seriously. 3v3 needs ranked ASAP

[@2sallads]

One thing I do wish is that the barriers were extended a bit, both outward and above, but I understand why they didn’t do that. But it would be really cool to fly between the rafters abd the tall stands. I understand that it would be very hard to chase a snitch between those while balancing the ability to have beaters hit you in those rafters

[@thehighguarduk4820]

It does seem like a fun game and I am interested but I want an offline mode.

[@craskpillord]

Be cool if they could add in themed matches based on actual lore, so like famous in-universe teams battling each other and stuff. Definitely more stadiums would be nice, mainly for the World Cup mode, I feel like in the World Cup mode you should fight people in their nations pitches and then build to notable minor cup matches in the world that then leads to the ultimate World Cup reward and that stadium. Just feels weird that the World Cup mode takes place entirely in the single stadium. The other modes had decent progression. This is a longshot, but some mode to walk around as your preferred team player and maybe even fly around and dick around, they could put minor collectibles and shit here and maybe practice mini-games and other things. Maybe put a lot of what’s in that main menu hub in a playable environment, if you’re in a party with friends they can chill and hang out here too.

[@jdp3578]

They could always add a different mode to make it more accurate to the books for people who want that. Maybe make each ring worth different points lowest to highest 10,20,30. Increase the score cap.Then only let the snitch appear once, with a higher difficulty, and with the ability to end the game.

[@jasonhodges8055]

Hey Retro! Here’s my few little comments. I think the change in rules actually makes quidditch more “realistic” sport and required if it’s going to be used for esports which I agree I can see this easily. I am really enjoying the game and how it plays. I’ve been thinking a lot about how long it takes to make games lately and how that effects the companies that make them. If I were Portkey Games I would be looking to try to re-use this engine in other games where you can apply this as a section of there games like Hogwarts legacy 2 maybe. Passing in assets into the engine.Making the other studios work together to make reusable products if they are part of the WB games family. Then re-use it if the system turns out to be successful. My worry is that if games continue to takes as long as they do it will turn companies off in making AAA games. Can’t praise this game enough though!

[@DumbGenius123]

This game exceeded my expectations by miles! Love the online gameplay especially, and perhaps they’ll add a 6v6 mode aswell in the future. Hopefully the game will seep it’s way to the broader community, because I agree with you that it could be, with possibly some minor tweaks and additions, e-sport material!

Likely the keys will have a paid option (still trickle in for free via quests) maybe even ways to just buy gold too (which they kinda have with the deluxe giving 2k gold) season passes will likely be paid too. Its been common for games to try and give the first season for free (note its called season 0) then start the charging on following seasons. Its like a try me sampler.

I’ll be honest, there are some fair criticisms. Yes the graphics is a bit weird. It does give somewhat mobile game vibes and looks. However, it is very much feature and quality packed. That of a PC game. They did very well with the design. However, this game has been a blast so far. I give it a 8/10 so far.

[@ryeguy2752]

Not sure if you missed it but at the begging of the game behind your character is a news paper front cover shows Bulgaria Vs Ireland

[@captain4318]

I'm loving it! Besides Keeper, I love the other 3 roles all the same! Easy to get into, but can be incredibly challenging in multiplayer.

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

I’ll wait for the Switch version.

[@jacobwoodall3524]

I definitely want more stadiums. They definitely used the Bulgarian and French stadium designs from world cup for durmstrang and beauxbatons, but then no international stadiums. And idk why there isn't the option to pick Ireland or Bulgaria. But I do really enjoy the gameplay

[@Oshaoxin]

This is fantastic! Don't see why they couldn't include this in Hogwarts Legacy, even with online leaderboards. Only reason must've been time/budget constraints.

[@shighmoney9326]

The Ppl complaining wasn’t around fa the 1st Quidditch game so they opinion don’t matter. This fa the day 1 fans. I remember playin Quidditch fa hours on GameCube. This one’s even more Littt🔥🔥🔥

[@brendan9868]

Good move to change the snitch from being 150 and instant game over to 30 and you play on. The books rules worked from a story standpoint as it allowed those dramatic finishes, but from an actual sporting standpoint it made very little sense. Like it’s kinda silly you can be stomping someone like 140-0, but then some rich kid on the most expensive broom in the world can just catch the snitch and you lose instantly. Speaking of brooms it’s actually pretty dumb they even allow different levels of brooms to be used rather than uniform where everyone has to compete with the same brooms. Like surely having a Firebolt or a Nimbus 2000/2001 should be like a wizarding PED when the kids you’re going against have like clean sweeps or comets right?

[@kdebo18]

the snitch on advance or higher in campaign is no joke. they are more twitchy which makes me happy because on normal or lower they just ran the same circle around the pitch which was lame.. and the beaters are persistent too. so campaign it self is quite fun to play.

[@recorpse9698]

Tbh I don't care if I need to fly around as a seeker just searching for the snitch until its released(with no announcement for the snitch being released) as long as they make the snitch worth a little more than 30 points but also make it more challenging to catch

[@bigby2338]

I'm really loving this game but I've noticed that matchmaking is slower if you want to play as a beater or a seeker, not many people enjoy being a keeper. If you pick the keeper class or the "pick any role" option you'll find a game in seconds and I've seen people leave when they realize they're playing keeper. I love this game but the developers need to tweak something here.

[@rocknroll1973]

I played the beta and really enjoyed that. It was super basic even then I loved it. Can't wait to finally play it full version

[@PaulWall24601]

I haven’t had time to play yet, but I bought the game to support the Portkey brand because I enjoy what they do. Glad you enjoyed it! I’m unhinged and bought a PS membership for a month just to get the Firebolt Supreme broom skin 😂 Do you know if I’ll get to keep the broom skin when I end the monthly membership (I’m not much of a gamer and bought a PS just for Hogwarts Legacy)? Cheers!

[@EstherHunt-p6d]

Giving it a year for bugs and updates, do you think this game would be good for me as a relatively new gamer who plays on PC? I got bored with hogwarts legacy because there was so much that is blocked until you make progress and so little content. You basically have no choice but to play it the same exact way every time and it took me only a couple of weeks to complete the game. I guess what I'm asking is, would this be exciting and replayable?

[@johannes3530]

It's fun playing :)

[@lewiswaddi95]

I’ve been playing it every morning and evening since release, it’s really enjoyable specially if you experiment with the mechanics, I’m sure it will only get better with updates and content

[@michaelacosta1441]

I agree. This game is great and can’t wait for them to add more stuff.

[@DarkenedHero119]

I just really want more maps and “teams”. I’m sure they will continue to expand but I do think there should have been more content at launch. Other than that it’s a very fun and refreshing game

[@kvsyaoran727]

How do you unlock Ilvermorny?

[@LJW1912]

The only thing that annoys me is that the League teams of Britain and Ireland aren't playable. I want to play as the Wimborne Wasps in a big league, not this weird Triwizard Cup. And of course, the fact that Ireland are once again snubbed is outrageous!

[@BlackHei711]

I think it would be cool if they had a book accurate mode with two beaters, 150 point snitch, and no time limit. The Harry Potter PS2 games balanced the snitch by having you play three matches, and the house with the most points accumulated from the three matches against the other houses wins the quidditch cup.

[@gyrfalconhawk8120]

6v6 will prob have 2 beaters, and one of those beaters will be chosen to be the seeker when the snitch is released.

[@Bodybreaker214]

Nobody is going to play a match that long I've seen people leave after being down 20 points plus most people can barely dodge one bludger two would be impossible

Thanks for the review. Going to buy it tonight!

[@JariahxSynn]

It's odd, I'm not usually a multiplayer guy but this game makes me want to play multiplayer more than the solo stuff. On day one I jumped straight into multiplayer, I never do that ever. Boggles my brains. Also I agree it should've been a separate game mode would've been a lot harder to integrate it with Legacy even as a separate module.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Good to hear you’re enjoying it 👍🏻

[@joeyclick5234]

Does anyone know the reason they changed the quidditch points rule? (The snitch is worth 150 points but is now only 30 I think?)

[@gyrfalconhawk8120]

Because the snitch being 150p and ending the game isn’t fun. 30 free points is already enough to tie or even win a losing game, because games end when a team gets to 100 points (which takes longer than it sounds)

[@joeyclick5234]

@@gyrfalconhawk8120 thanks for answering and not being a jerk about it lol I do appreciate bc I was curious but I get it and ur right it is fun with the new scoring

Dude this game is so awesome.

[@derezed1573]

I really wish they add more outfits to the game like for exemple the quidditch robe from the third movie (best looking quidditch set to me)

[@Prof.Albusdumbledore]

I hope the seekers will be able to fly outside of the pitch, to make it more of an actual chance and so they’re not just sitting around

[@pbz4072]

I hope they Remaster the Philosopher Stone and Chamber of Secrets Games, Harry Potter in ps1 graphics just works.

[@josephdixon5285]

I’m enjoying it but feel like it could have been something so much more! Imagine fifa but on brooms, with pro teams and different leagues, realistic commentary, different locations. Hopefully these are all things they can add. Maybe other broom activities like races and stuff too!

[@RetroRaconteur]

Yeah with enough support, I think we could definitely see those things get added along the way 🤞🏻

[@vhsqueen]

I mean when you cant select the right half screen options, it plays well but how do you release a game where the right half is unselectable. Said fuck it and continued with a character i didnt want to create and got to the tutorial, made it halfway and then I was booted to the main menu...

[@RetroRaconteur]

That's crazy! I hadn't heard of this glitch until yesterday from someone. Are you on PS4?

[@missilemiata7593]

I need your help I'm playing with a friend and she has done both the gurden cup and the Gold Hogwarts cup on 2 stars and she still can't do the 3 cup

[@lukebrooks5920]

Really good game. Am I alone in thinking that keepers need a little bit of a buff for high level play? Chasers are already finding ways to beat keepers 9 times out of 10

[@anthonyx3576]

You should be allowed to adjust settings. Im talking like advaned dexterity on bludgers, Snitch 150 pts, etc. You can tailor it so that 150 pt Snitch is viable. Honestly, Harry Potter 1 Quidditch was the Best. Snitch literally had a role in FINDING THE SNITCH. Seeker in multiplayer was literally looking for Snitch flying around. This is PARAMOUNT in the Harry Potter Quidditch atmosphere. It just feels like Legacy and Quidditch Champions are cash grabs and didn't really understand nor pursue proper synthesis with Harry Potter World

[@ralfsstuff]

It keeps crashing on my ps4, saying there's corrupted data and I should reinstall. I did that 3 times so far, just to complete the tutorial section.

[@cheerfulcrumb4540]

nice to see you’re using drifting 😉

[@Mary_Studios]

Supprised about the one beater but for 3 pvp that actaully works really well. I wonder if that's also part of the reason why they went with only one beater. I'd love to play online but my computer has been struggling with mmos and the if I got it on the switch instead whenever that comes out I'd have to pay for the online service.

[@hazok4351]

Also, this game needs MODES. A mode that is more focused on strategy, for instance, with a perspective further from the player's head. Maybe another mode with longer matches 150 to 200 points and 15 to 20 minutes

[@rocknroll1973]

I'll take a standalone quidditch game over a thrown in mini game version for hogwarts legacy. We all remember how bad quidditch was in the Harry Potter tie-in games. The standalone quidditch world cup game from the early 2000s is why it needs to he a standalone.
