They drop on the 6th. I'm expecting very average reviews, given it's basically a shovelware company.

I expect the high ones to glorify J.K. Rowling and the low ones to admonish the game because of J.K. Rowling.

I will be very surprised if it doesn't get at least an 8 from the majority of reviewers, based on what I've seen of the game.

Im expecting high pro reviews and low user reviews

User reviews will be a mix of trashing it because of rowling and honest disappointment because there has been too much hype and videogames wont really be able to capture the HP magic

I expect it'll review well.

it looks like a lot of care is being put into it, that it's full of content, and it's from a beloved franchise.

I just hope its tested well enough to not be a buggy mess. My gf wants to play it, never plays video games so I hope its a positive experience for her.

From the videos it looks like at least an 8 with some HP bias bumping it up to 9s or 10s.

Averaging somewhere between 8 and 9. Kind of hard to predict because you will have people giving it a higher score just because it is Harry Potter and people giving it a lower score just because of Rowling.

I'm kind of curious if it's going to be a 6-7/10 game that gets elevated to like 8.5/10+ just based on what the IP is and the fact the developers will have produced a competent open-world AAA game based on their history.

i'll guess meta in low to mid 80s and user reviews to be a bunch of 10s because of rowling and 1s because of rowling.

Seems appropriate for what looks to be a pretty uninspiring open world game with an HP skin. Which is fair, not every game can be a BotW or Elden Ring

i honestly dont understand how people still say this shit.

like performance might be an issue, maybe late game content is an issue, maybe replayability.

but its impossible to say uninspired based on what in game footage weve seen.

It looks like another open world game that's been done to death by Rockstar, Bethesda, and Ubisoft. There's been very few in the last 5 years that I've found to do anything remotely new or exciting. I'm not interested in the HP universe at all so they would have to have a truly novel gameplay loop to differentiate it from all the rest flooding the market

For most though the HP brand will be enough

everyone is gonna make a point to focus on the game itself i think. maybe kotaku won't review it or something. i don't know gaming media that well anymore ever since magazines fell out of fashion

Ah ya thats fair then. It certainly wont be for everyone and I do agree a large part of the pull will be fans wanting to experience the world itself but from what weve seen its certainly not cyberpunk levels of empty promises.

It'll be interesting if reviewers actually review the game, or just talk about how much they love/hate JK and base their scores on that.

7/10 at best. It'll be a 5/10 game. Crazy how people think the studio behind Hannah Montana Spotlight World Tour and Cars 3 is going to release a GOTY worthy game lol

When it inevitably gets review bombed in the user scores, I will be extremely curious to see if the usual gaming outlets push out an article about it being bombed or not like they do for other franchises/properties.

I expect most of the negativity in the reviews to be about JK Rowling rather than the game itself, which Im sure will have flaws.

My opinion:

It'll be a 7-8 game that people review on its merits.

It will be a 9-10 game that Harry Potter fanboys/girls review.

It will be a sub 5 game to the people review it who want to shit on JK Rowling and the people who enjoy it.

I know this seems funny but I bet theres GOTY worthy games by developers who got their start working on similar games.
