What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (8/10) calls it the Hogwarts simulator fans dreamt of, with a huge open world, an enjoyable story and characters, really fun combat and beautiful scenery; it criticises very basic side quests, some poor voice acting and bad menus. GamesRadar+ (3.5/5, PS5) praises a faithful recreation of Hogwarts, thrilling spell-based combat and awesome visual design, but points to an uneasy relationship with the wizarding world, messy progression and economy, and bloated open-world systems.
