This game reminds me a lot of the Batman Arkham games, specifically Arkham City because thats my favorite one. The mandrake scene, forbidden forest, room of requirement, fighting a troll, polyjuice potion, restricted area in the library, the deathly hallows are all in the game and they pull from the source material well, but it can often times just feel like they are making you remember the original. The game does use nostagia very well as it hits many of the same important beats and locations that you experience from the movies/books. A game called Hogwarts Legacy should use Hogwarts to its full advantage and really get the player to experience their semester there instead of just extending the map further and further away from Hogwarts. But the game doesn't really do that because you just fast travel everywhere in Hogwarts and you don't actually spend that much time in Hogwarts. When I first got to start exploring Hogwarts I was so excited to see this perfect recreation of Hogwarts and how I was going to learn the locations of every class and how every hallway connects to one another and be fully immersed in Hogwarts. This is one of my biggest gripes with the game. Despite being called Hogwarts Legacy most of the games main quest doesn't take place at Hogwarts but instead in the surronding areas. Hogwarts Legacy is an action "role-playing" game that takes place in the Harry Potter universe.
