Games based on existing IP are always worth a small dose of skepticism, whether for canonical reasons or maybe different actors breaking the continuity, so I was unsure about Hogwarts Legacy when it was first released. I’ve always loved the Harry Potter IP, so while I was excited about the game, it hadn’t been at the top of my list of priorities.
Over the rest of the year, Hogwarts Legacy was in the back of my mind as something I knew I would play, but I also knew about the sheer scale of it and told myself I wouldn’t have time. However, after I missed out on it the last time Hogwarts Legacy went on sale, I told myself that I’d pick it up the next time it did.
