Fable Anniversary may not be the newest RPG on the shelf, but like a fine wine, it has aged well. Early on in the game, the protagonist learns the ins and outs of being a hero at the Heroes' Guild. While it's no Hogwarts, the school does provide a nice background for the player character. The game allows players to cast spells, as well as master blade and bow. Fable Anniversary boasts a cartoonish graphic style that is endearing and an engaging plot that has kept players coming back for over a dec

That said, I'd argue that an Auror-based RPG doesn't necessarily have to be geared toward an adult audience, and there are plenty of ways to avoid alienating younger audiences while still giving players an authentic HP experience.

Liam Robertson, a contributor on YouTube Channel Did You Know Gaming? highlighted Leavitt's channel on Twitter this past Friday, with the intention of informing potential buyers of Legacy so that they could make an informed decision on supporting the game, and Leavitt by extens

A FAQ has detailed exactly how much involvement J.K. Rowling has in the upcoming magical RPG, and it seems to be purposefully added in light of the situation onl

Games like Skyrim have found the perfect balance of plot with purpose. Quests don't feel bogged down and include adventure and challenge across the board. Some quests are much higher in difficulty than others, while the main storyline is enriched by what players accomplish before going to the main plot points on the map. By making sure that everything players do affects the story they are immersed in, the exploration process is rewarding. If Hogwarts Legacy is able to integrate the world into it's story, and put value on side quests and a filled-out map, the game could be very successful. A map that has no weight or purpose will not feel worth exploring or useful to the game, so quality content is
