On sale at Steam for another 5 days or so, 50% off, very positive reviews, decided to take a chance. So far, so good, I like the atmosphere. (Note, I read all the HP books and saw all the movies.) You find yourself as a fifth year student. Not sure what that means because instead of being a graduate and/or welcome back with skills, you are basically starting from scratch in the talents and spell casting department. The story may explain this eventually.
The story, it starts with a bang, a letter appears indicating your acceptance to Hogwarts, you meet Professor Fig in what looks like Diagon Alley, who will escort you to Hogwarts, and you are attacked soon after. A trip to Gringot’s (outstanding graphics) and it takes about 30-45 minutes, getting you up to speed with magic combat basics, to get to Hogwarts at the end of the sorting ceremony. Until that time there is no saving and the game is lineal. It is described as open world.
I’m not 100% on this but it seems like you must have a Warner Brothers gaming account and if you do this before starting the game, to completely link your account, step 2 (at the web site) is to go though a sorting house ceremony, before you are in the game. Because I read the link below, I had concerns about this so I skipped the sorting hat at the web site. I was thinking “linked” would pick my house in the game but this might not be the case, unverified.
In the game, based on a specific answer you give the sorting hat (link below) and based on unique house quests (see link below), I knew which house I wanted, and did not want to leave it to chance or my quiz answers.
Graphics, voice acting and facial animations are good, atmosphere is spot on. However, I was disappointed that after being sorted, leaving the Hogwarts dining room we teleported to the entrance to my chosen house, Hufflepuff. I’m looking forward to seeing how easy it is to actually walk around and explore Hogwarts. 🤔
More to come.
