Is it really a great game though? It's pretty, and the Hogwarts part is cool, but it's pretty shit in my opinion. It doesn't take it's world seriously. For example, the groundskeeper is the person who teaches you how to pick locks (and they turned an unlocking spell into a shitty lockpicking mini game you have to do over and over) and tells you to break curfew. This is the only time the curfew even matters though. All other times you run around at night and no one is around and no one cares.

You also do the same three or four boring activities all over. Sure, the world is fairly large and looks pretty, but it's about the most bland I've seen in a game, and it's supposed to be magical. Every location just had these same thing to make it not feel empty, but it totally is.

They saw the Ubisoft open world games and had the thought of all the crap people complain about those for should be their goal, and then they somehow made them even worse. It is the most uninspired game I've played in a long time once you get past the graphics and thinking it's cool just because the series it's based on was done well.
