![]() Normally I wouldn’t go to such lengths, but given the intensity of the conversation around the game, I think it’s important that readers understand where I’m coming from. Harry Potter and meīefore I get to the game itself, I want to be clear about my relationship to its world. ![]() So I prepared to take the unusual step of enrolling at Hogwarts as a fifth-year. I think that the cultural impact of the game is so vast, and the issues swirling around it so important, that it demands thoughtful critical engagement, and that requires playing the game. I respect this viewpoint, but I don’t share it. I don't care if this is a cyber punk/ Gotham knights/ saints row situation (I don't think it is) I'm getting this on early access day.Some have argued that the right way to cover Hogwarts Legacy is not to cover it at all. While personally I'm happy with what I've seen so far I wouldn't be surprised if the game was rough in spots and in my observation when that happens reviews tend to come out closer to the release date because so many people use reviews as purchasing advice and in the absence of early reviews a lot of people will give into their hype and just buy it anyway. Not to mention that this game is a major departure from what this studio has done in the past and they are really punching above their weights class. I expect that the reviews from the biggest sites are going to be at least 50% not about the game but relitigating that issue while trying to get as many punches in as possible. I expect them to drop the day of just because of the conversation about the author alone.ĭealing with that and defending themselves must already be exhausting and the sooner the embargo ends the earlier that starts.
