Good summation of gaming in 2023 in general actually.

It's been a sad year for big releases, indie scene is the only thing that has delivered worthwhile stuff.

Can you disrobe everyone with your magic or is that a different Harry game?

It has been like that for at least 6 or 7 years if not more.

This was the game with the highest ammount of sales in the US in 2023. I have been sipping pina coladas all day while reading all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the troons over this.
Christ, what a shit year for aaa when you have shovelware like Dead Island 2 making it in the top 20.

This game has just caused hilarity on all sides of the political spectrum. I think the funniest thing about it is how people who are generally anti-woke ended up buying and defending a game that has some of the worst pandering and virtue signalling we've seen in a game in years, maybe even ever.

Been playing about - I don't know, 8 hours or so? - and so far it seems pretty meh. Combat doesn't really seem that engaging, what puzzles I've encountered seem pretty simplistic, the open world seems tacked on, etc. The gear system is annoying. I initially started exploring Hogwarts but at the beginning I couldn't interact with most things because I lacked the spells/ablities.
Speaking of which, how long is the "tutorial" in this game? I'm still unlocking things and I feel like the game hasn't fully opened up. Like what the fuck? That's too long. Get your shit together. Faggot bitch.

Hogwarts Legacy Has Sold 24 Million Units; New Features and Ex PlayStation Exclusive Content Coming in Q3 2024
24 million units.... seesh.
Is this game actually good, or is it all just build on the whole Rowling drama?

Maybe the drama helped, maybe it didn't.
I think the main reason is that it is using an extremely popular setting, looks nice, and promises to let players be part of the stories they liked as kids. Even if it's not a good game (I haven't played it) that'll have to sell well.

Millennials just fucking love Harry Potter. Some people at my workplace who don't even play video games bought it day 1.

It's a competent Ubisoft style open world adventure rpg ish
If you rarely.play them then it's fine. Bonus point if you like the setting

By our standards? No. By normie standards? Sure. Decent graphics, cinematic cutscenes etc.
If you really like Harry Potter, then maybe you'll enjoy it?
Why, it's only a thing that's got everything a streamlined entertainment must have, and it's sort of a first-time, full-fledged AAA game from an insanely famous fantasy world.
On top of that, it has a really neat atmosphere, some original game-play mechanics, and at least some good writing.
On the other hand, it can get somewhat repetitive, its features are plenty but ultimately can feel shallow (e.g., it simply didn't feel compelling to discover new combat builds; everything sort of worked right-away), and the story itself felt sadly forgettable (at least to me).
Perfect stuff to get overly-excited for about 10-40 hours and then forget about it completely :D
