Culture wars sell games. If not for all of the noise surrounding JK Rowling, the right wing contingent of the internet probably would have passed it over as "a game for kids". If comment sections are any metric to go by, everyone that played it either thought it was completely mid or bought it to own the libs.

Why you downvoted? You're right. They're mean fucking trolls with the character of a child. They're obsessed with triggering others. This is their MO.

I came here to write something along the lines of "fuck that Nazi terf piece of shit" but saw your comment first.

Serious question. Who'd win, wizard trying to cast a spell or sovereign citizen with a gun?

Very curious. I played for about 10-15 hours and was just bored, but I’ve never been a huge potter head. Glad people like it though

I'm playing this game right now and it's honestly a six out of 10. The only reason to launch the game at all is because of the world design which is top notch. So top notch it scores all of those six points, because the plot characters story and gameplay are all a let down otherwise. This is the type of game that will disable the controls for your magical flying broom and then tell you that you need to climb a wall. I wish it wasn't so successful so they didn't think this formula was so good, because if they made the game actually good AND a Harry Potter property, that would have really been something special. But as it is now, it's just an uninspired video game painted in a pretty coat of a popular franchise. I'm sure we'll get a sequel.

I would have loved to have this game as a kid. It may be a 6 out of 10 but most of the other harry potter shovelware they shit out when the movies were coming was at best a 0.2 out of 10. The only arguably not that bad one was the prisoner of azkaban movie based game.
