    Regardless of the controversy, this was just an underwhelming game. The quest design was awful and the combat was repetitive.

    If it wasn’t using one of the most well known IPs in modern history it would be a financial flop and have terrible ratings.

      That’s everything though, a good unknown game will always do worse than a bad known game

      Thanks. This is the first review I’ve seen of the actual game… glad somebody rated it as a stand alone product on its own individual merit rather than by all the other noise around its release.

      To me it was a pretty mid game that let you design your harry potter. Most of the plot was taken directly from the movies

          It was little things for me like a snape-esque teacher, using polyjuice potion, an old wizard who takes you under his wing, a student turned evil, and the slitherin kid is bad

            But the slitherin kid isn’t bad. He’s got what the slitherin house has. He isn’t evil he just chose some very bad choices to try to save his sister. In the end he turns himself in if you allow it. An old wizard that is nothing like Dumbledore. And what school doesn’t have bad kids?
