Many visual glitches (one in particular that I keep getting on PC is bodies of water freaking out then disappearing altogether), absolutely minimal interaction between you and the other students and teachers (you can shoot spells right through people and they just don't react), it would have been really cool to have more interaction with the other people in Hogwarts, even if it was just at a basic level, like in RDR2. The game overall looks good, and I'm having a blast exploring around Hogwarts, and the combat is fun, but the flaws are obvious. I wouldn't even necessarily call this a hot take, and that's coming from someone who absolutely adores this game and I'm still actively playing it, with almost 100 hrs put in already.

They probably realized too late how OP some of it was (even the earliest tiers had a few game changers). I'm guessing this is why the talent tree was arbitrarily locked for so long while you were gaining talent points. For me handling a bunch of enemies at once went from really hard to really easy pretty abruptly on the timescale of the game. The talent tree and clothing upgrades + learning unforgivables (+ being able to afford stocking totally up all plants) changed the dynamic a lot.

Not super used to this style of combat, I had to turn it off hard mode around my 10th hour or so because I was getting wrecked trying to sneak into goblin camps with a lot of enemies at once and then the last crossed wands duel was the last straw.Įven normal was a decent challenge for me for a time, but then the entire back half of the game it became such a joke that I switched to hard again and still barely died. There was also a pretty quick change in difficulty over the first third or so of the game.
