Mar 31, 2023 · Hogwarts Legacy is a content-stuffed action RPG set in the beloved Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Its zippy combat and engaging exploration more than makeup for its cookie-cutter open-world ...

Anyone who has seen the movie that this game is based on will know that there is very little material that can be adapted for gameplay, and blimey does it show here. Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is an atrocious game, marking the moment where publisher EA decided the only logical place to take the Potter series was into cover-based shooter territory. It...
As with most games for Microsoft’s ill-fated motion sensor, there are moments of dumb fun to be had in Harry Potter for Kinect by simply messing around with its mechanics. Unfortunately, it pretty much stops there, as players make their way through a variety of mini-games that cover each of Harry’s years at Hogwarts. It is everything you would expe...
This game holds the distinction of being one of the biggest gaming disappointments of my youth. After three games of exciting, wondrous Hogwarts exploration (more on those later), Goblet of Fire is so painfully worse in every regard by transitioning the series to a completely different genre that it would never touch again – the dungeon crawler. It...
I have put these two entries together as they effectively form two parts of a whole. After little success on Xbox’s Kinect, the franchise moved to the PS3, where the PlayStation Eye and PlayStation Move accessories fit the Wizarding World far better. The two games utilise a spellbook (called the ‘Wonderbook’) that can be read by the PlayStation Eye...
Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is not a great game, and I would not question anyone who thinks it should be much lower on this list. For starters, the entire thing can be completed in about five hours (and that’s being generous), which at the time was unacceptable for a fully priced game. Enter my subjective opinion, because 14-year-old me rented this fr...
We now move into murkier territories in this ranking, as the objectively poorer games in the series have all been accounted for. If the games from number 6 onwards didn’t exist, both Half-Blood Prince and the number 7 game would be a lot higher. They aren’t bad, just not the best, in my opinion. That said, Half-Blood Prince has a great Hogwarts to ...
Order of the Phoenix shot straight into my good books in 2007 as it returned the series toits free-roaming, castle exploration roots after the awful detour of Goblet of Fire. Things aren’t all exactly as they were, though, as the game’s art style shifted to align with the movies, away from the more cartoonish feel of the older titles. This will ent...
With Prisoner of Azkaban set to release two years after its predecessor, EA needed to fill the 2003 gap with an original Pottergame, choosing to build upon the Quidditch mini-games from the first two games and make a full title based around the magical sport. The result is a surprisingly robust fantasy sports game, featuring a host of teams, cups a...
Harry’s first foray into the gaming world was met with a mixed response upon release but has since grown to live in beloved infamy. Yes, this is the game that bestowed upon us the glorious PS1 Hagrid meme, as well as every other delightfully warped version of the series’ characters. The graphics, while colourful, have aged so poorly that they have ...
Harry’s second outing in the realm of TT Game’s beloved Lego series is not quite as good as the first but still manages to be a cut above the rest thanks to the tried-and-true Lego gameplay and some neat innovations. With the latter two films taking place outside of Hogwarts, TT Games made the decision to add other areas to the map (though at the e...
