Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy takes the player to a school of magic long before the birth of the hero of the books: the events take place in the nineteenth century, in the same universe and the same walls. Fans of the saga will get a lot of references and familiar names here, while newcomers will get an independent story about a student with an unusual gift. The appearance and origin of the character are set independently, and the chosen faculty influences life and communication within the school. Training is organized by year: lectures, teacher assignments, a dueling club and the forbidden forest, where it is better not to go without preparation. Spells are learned gradually, and each has a use in combat or in solving puzzles like locked chests and hidden passages. Lessons alternate with outings, so the daily schedule easily turns into a list of adventures. Battles take place in real time: shield, counterspell, fire and lightning are combined in combinations, and opponents do not wait for the player to finish talking. Potions, herbs, and trained beasts add their own tactics to combat. There are different opponents: from street wizards to creatures in deep caves, and each requires a different approach. The world around the school is quite large: villages, caves, ruins and tasks of local residents, and flying on a broom and riding creatures turns the road into a separate pleasure. The rescue room serves as a workshop where plants are grown and potions are brewed. Side quests reveal the stories of teachers and students, which is why the school is remembered as a living place rather than a decoration. For anyone who wanted to walk through the corridors of Hogwarts on their own, this game provides such an opportunity in full.
