I was really disappointed with "Magic Hotspot Hogwarts Legacy". The game had so much potential, but it fell flat in almost every aspect. The graphics were outdated and glitchy, making it hard to immerse myself in the magical world. The gameplay was repetitive and lacked depth, and the controls were incredibly clunky. The storyline was generic and predictable, with no compelling characters or plot twists. Overall, I found the game to be a huge letdown and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a quality magical gaming experience.

While the graphics were decent, the gameplay was repetitive and didn't offer any new or exciting features. The character customization options were limited, and the story failed to captivate my interest. Additionally, the controls were not intuitive, and I often found myself struggling to perform basic tasks. Overall, "Magic Hotspot Hogwarts Legacy" lacked the magic it promised and didn't live up to my expectations.
