Before digging into the game, let’s tackle the elephant in the room: The team at XboxEra finds the words and actions by the author of the Harry Potter and Wizarding World books, J. The follow-up to this attack and the attempts to get back on track toward Hogwarts serves as a meaty introduction to the game, with various cool locations, well-directed cutscenes, and most importantly tutorial segments teaching the player the first basic spells, such as Lumos to light up the wand, Protego to parry enemy attacks via a magic shield and Revelio, used to locate otherwise invisible or hidden elements in the surroundings. Despite some technical hiccups and some creeping open-world fatigue, Hogwarts Legacy is easily one of the most engaging AAA open-world titles in recent memory
