Hogwarts Legacy - Free

Thanks for the heads up.

The HP universe doesn't fascinate me nearly enough anymore to ever actually get this, but have been curious. Free works.

It's not a great game, but it's genuinely a fun game. Just don't burn yourself out trying to 100% all the Merlin trial bullshite.

You do need to do enough to get some extra inventory although with fast travel you really only need one or two upgrades.

I just finished another play through and I have the same opinion I always have. The combat is fun. There are too many collectibles and the last area that opens up was too big.

This is probably my last play through so I forced myself to do every quest and every collectible. Find everything. There was one really dumb field page on a hill overlooking Quidditch field. That was dumb and mean to place it there.

As a potter fan it was a 7 but it starts out a 9. For non fans, it is probably a 6 that starts out a 7 or 8 but becomes way too long and the score drops.

For free it is a great game. lol. Oh for folks who hate woke, everyone is a minority or gay and they have a trans character but I never felt anything was forced. If a game is going to be super diverse without ramming it down our throats, I think they did a fine job here. Funny that the Rowling haters tried to kill the most woke AAA game ever made with a trans NPC.

Already own it on Steam. Man, this always happens during Epic giveaways to me.

Big. Always wanted to play this on pc but didn’t want to buy it again since I already had it on PS.

Epic always drops decent games around Christmas/New Years so I’d recommend keeping an eye out on them for the next few weeks.

Because Epic fricking sucks as a launcher

True but not the reason people hate Epic. The Epic exclusives are why they take so much hate.

I would say they are related. People wouldn't care about the exclusivity deals if Epic didn't suck arse. Epic sucks arse, so people get pissed about the exclusivity deals. Giving out free games to be used on their shitty launcher just isn't enough to tip the scales.

The weird thing to me was it's a game set in a school where you play as a student, but you spend zero time in class.

They happen less frequently but they were never frequent.

I think Metro Exodus is the one that soured most of them on Epic forever.

I have 3 pages of solid free games and I don't care about achievements. One more launcher when I already had 5 or 6 was never a problem for me.

And at one time, people hated Steam even more than they now hate Epic. The first several years of Steam were bumpy.

I started playing it the other night. I know very little about Harry Potter, but I'm enjoying it. It's not too heavy or intense. Kind of the perfect chill game for me.
