But they're open world Hogwarts game was super generic, boring, and not really an RPG. The small section near the begining where you're still exploring Hogwarts was fairly fun, but once you go into the open world part it sucks. You do the same three or four activities over and over, just in different locations. They decided to turn the spell that unlocks stuff into a lockpicking minigame because they think every open world game has to have that for some reason (luckily on PC you can mostly remove it with mods). They don't care about the student aspect at all after an hour or so. The groundskeeper literally teaches you how to unlock doors and encourages you to break into areas you aren't allowed and sneak around at night after curfew. They don't actually care about the curfew except one or maybe two missions though. In fact, your encouraged to go around Hogwarts after hours.

Hogwarts Legacy is a very pretty but extremely boring game. They tried to copy whatever junk most AAA open world games do despite supposedly being a world of magic. Not even considering the JK Rowling stuff, it's not a good game.
