Every review was along the lines of ‘good first hour, the rest was bland and boring’. Not really GOTY material.

No fan of the potter game ever talks about the emotional resonance of the plot lines or how good the combat is.
Which is Wild in a way. They love this game but can’t seem to like any part of the game other than “I walked around Hogwarts”
Buying and playing it was virtue signaling for the kind of assholes that constantly whine about "wokes" virtue signaling. It was a performative gesture; the game sucking didn't matter.
That was the impression I got. The other people who bought it and played it were just like “more slop to help me ignore life”
I played it for free after it was cracked. The novelty of the setting was the only compelling element.
It just looked so fucking boring to play in every video that wasn’t hyper edited.
Yeah I will confess, getting to faff about Hogwarts was the only element of it I found even vaguely compelling. I like big interactive spaces.
