“There Is No Magic in Hogwarts Legacy”
Wired magazine’s writer, Jaina Grey, wrote up this scathing review, “The story, besides being rooted in anti-Semitism (a global “cabal” is trying to end slavery but that’s bad because the slaves like being slaves), doesn’t even feel compelling. It feels muddy, a minefield of unanswered questions and unexplained motivations. And speaking of which, the characters often flat-out state their motivations, but they don’t feel believable or even particularly coherent. It says it’s Hogwarts, but it doesn’t feel like Hogwarts. Even despite the controversy around Rowling herself, the game feels like it was put together to tap the eager nostalgia of fans without any attention to making it actually worth playing. ”
