Most of the Harry Potter games have been open world action RPGs at this point. PS1 Sorcerer's Stone holds up ngl

You can, in a game called "Witch Trainer": https://akabur.itch.io/wt
Fuck you for getting me addicted to this entire new genre I had no idea existed... Trainer games. Disgusting whores these Hogwarts students.
It's a huge time waster, for the occasional hilarious situation. And as erotic imagery, it's nothing amazing imo.
There's a much better trainer, with a lot of content. Much more text oriented, can't remember how it's called right now.

Niggerinx don't tell me you mean Innocent Witches. A gorgeous game but there's so little content it's embarrassing. And the writing is on worst fanfic levels.
Uh, actually I mistook witch trainer for innocent witches. Innocent witches has good art but is absolutely garbage in every other aspect. Witch trainer is great!

Main gameplay is button mash combat... talent system... crafting stat sticks... *snore*. Not quite what I envisoned being a wizard in a the wizarding world would be like.

Would be cool if the potion alchemy gameplay was engaging like Kingdom Come Deliverance's, but I doubt it will be.

I'm not into the bland aesthetic look of the game, though.

This is looking like Dragon Age but with a thin veneer of Harry Potter over it.

Well, they really should have explored one of those other wizarding schools. Not Hogwarts, which has been overexposed for two decades. It's not exciting anymore. A brand new location could bring a sense of genuine discovery, of excitement. Something fresh.

The first few games and the Gameboy Games (Which included turn-based rpg's) hold up nowadays. Genuine passion in those games.

I just can't take modern games seriously anymore, it's supposed to be in the fucking UK not africa
"b-b-but it's a wizarding school!"
there's fucking multiple schools all over the world, it's a major plot of like two of the books
hogwarts is literally a school for fucking british people, not even european people -- which has like three of their own or some shit

this is on the same tier as claiming hermione is black, fucking clownworldia

same exact shit ruined my vampyr experience, why even set it in "hogwarts" if you're going to do this

You wrong. A lot of talented students from Wakanda seek fortune and magic in Hogwarts.

But Hogwarts Is a school of good magic and some curse are even forbidden while in Africa they have only black magic and they teach how to build voodoo zombie armies.

Looks pretty accurate to me. Mods may fix Hogwarts, but Albion is lost. Cope.

you'd have a point if hogwarts was a school exclusively for london

Well this takes place in the 1800s so the modern immigrant heavy demographics of western countries aren't that relevant. Although personally idc how many black students there are, it's not like the rest of Harry Potter's worldbuilding is convincing or authentic.

Game looks pretty bad as expected, the combat looks especially terrible though

Imagine working hard so you can afford to live in a neighbourhood with a good school, and then your kid trolls you by being magic and the only option is Nogwarts.

magic wands, broomsticks and talking hats yet you get triggered by a black dude... he didn't even mug you bro
yeah nobody would ever get upset about something like that and it's definitely NOT a massive double standard

it's just stupid, I don't care if you want to place the game in india or something but they keep insist on doing this dumb shit. Why bother actually researching and representing a foreign culture when you can just take one you know and replace all the people with different ones?
if I'm playing a harry potter game, I want tea sucking bad teeth brits saying shit like "bloody 'ell"
