The only review to this game I was actually looking forward to.

    Hogwarts Legacy is less “be a character from Harry Potter” and more “be the main character in a work of self-insert Harry Potter fan fiction.” You play a student who starts Hogwarts in the fifth year, which is unusual but they made an exception for you because you’re THAT bloody great. Everyone wants to be your friend inside thirty seconds of conversation, you master every subject on your first go, and you’re also the only person who can use a super special kind of magic for only the most super special people and in the end you save the entire school and everyone in it from apocalyptic disaster.

    No wonder bazingas want this. Sounds like the Ready Player One of bad fantasy fiction. :disgost:

      If this were the early 10s or so, the complaint online would be the character being a Mary Sue.

      While the Mary Sue label has been not so popular, I've seen Harry Potter fanfiction characters given that label that weren't that ridiculously OP in the setting.
