I’m actually kind of amazed at how good the game turned out to be. Hear me out. This studio made shovelware for 20 years. This game, while mid, is on another scale. The studio must have been radically re-organized just for Hogwart’s Legacy, but it’s still brand new so of course it was all out of their depth.

I wonder why they didn’t just approach a real company with the IP. Is it because Rowling like her deal with WB? Is it because of creative control? Is it because WB went for the rights to make the games? I dunno. But hell Ubisoft would have probably done a better job at making an Ubisoft clone.
