Hogwarts Legacy - Angry Review 

Joe's neighbors are like "What in the fuck are these grown ass men doing dressed up playing wizards in the yard on a work day?"

"You're bigger than my dad" "Thats too bad for your mom". Fantastic work guys Edit: a word

“You’re bigger than my dad!” “That’s too bad for your mom.” That whole bit was gold. Has a drink and a cigar 😂

Remember when people said hogwarts legacy was gonna be a disappointment and forspoken was gonna be a masterpiece? Boy were they wrong

Alex and Joe BOTH enjoying a game simultaneously is rare and a treat to see.

It's really rare to see Alex so happy watching Joe playing a game.

"That's too bad for your mom." That was a perfect line by Alex

The architecture of Hogwarts was like 5x better than I could imagine. I think it's bigger than the books or the movies ever depicted.

Joe torturing OJ and then OJ getting revenge as well as him saying "Hufflepuff my nuts!" made this feel like an instant classic angry review lol!😂

25:11 That's actually a picture of Wendelin the Weird. When they used to do Witch burnings, the Witches and Wizards would cast a charm on the fires, so all they felt was a light tickling. Wendelin the Weird liked it so much that she allowed herself to be caught and burned 47 different times in various disguises. A pretty cool bit of lore that they added in!

The intro using Crucio and Incendio and then Arresto Momentum for a "slow burn" seemed hilarious and like some hyper evil satire at first, but is made all the sweeter after finding these are actually legit combos and even count as combat achievements in the game 😂

“Your bigger than my dad!?” “That’s too bad for your mom” this skit was amazing.

Seeing OJ as a Hufflepuff is something I never knew I needed until I got it

Alex's acting was top-tier in this one as the 5th-year Chad, lol

That transition from Harry using flu powder to the sept of Baelor explosion was pretty nice

I cant express how good it is to see joe still have the same love and energy he had towards what he does after all this time, you can tell he genuinely enjoys it, I wish you the best man

This is the most book accurate depiction of Hogwarts I've ever seen. Everything from the kitchens to the common rooms even to little things that only appear once or twice in the books like the One-Eyed Witch passageway or the sliding stairs to the girls dormitories. The developers really paid attention to every description of the castle in the books and did a great job blending it with what we see in the movies.

Man its so good to see Joe and friends back to the classic Angry Review format with sketches and Joe talking directly to us. and who else missed the background tv that would make cracks too?

“Show me a private room, tell me you’re looking for deek” OJ had me dying there 😂

Having a house point system can be very useful in lieu of a morality system. You can be free to do bad things but getting caught can lose your house points, while doing certain good things gives you points. It's quite simple but it can make things interesting, maybe your fellow house members may act more hostile if you keep losing them points for example.

Sequel Wishlist: - Quidditch - House point system - More mission variety - House point system - Most house specific quests - Better facial animations and voice acting - Morality system/NPC interaction to spells - More consequences for using Unforgivable Curses

OJ: "you're bigger than my dad!" Alex:"I feel sorry for your mom" Omg that was great guys 😂

You know it's a great game when Joe is having fun in the footage.

You know you made a good game when Angry Joe isn't angry.

At one point during this game I was just running around looking at textures because I was in awe at the level of detail and atmosphere 😅

The skit where they list all the horrible things your character can do in Hogwarts Legacy is the funniest part of this whole experience. Voldemort who?? This fifth-year made him look tame!

Just imagine walking around the neighborhood and you see AJ OJ and Alex just screaming spells loudly while pretending to be in excruciating pain dressed like Harry Potter characters. 😂

A major current gen game pushing for ambitious scope, content, and concepts, published by goddamn WB, and it actually delivers AND is not broken on launch? This game is truly an anomaly.

The way you delivered “too bad for your mom” is a master class in line delivery hahahaha

the "too bad for your dad" line had me in tears. loved this review style coming back!

That was an enjoyable video.

I played through the game and one thing I'd say is it gets boring fast. The spells are good, but there's not that many. There's not many enemy variety. Once you've seen the whole castle, it's a chore trying to run a mile to get to a location. Side quest or just go here kill the same enemy collective thing come back.

Listening to Joe describe the combat makes me seriously question why the quick and painless death spell is somehow the one that’s forbidden.

Im not a Harry Potter fan but I couldn't help but smile the entire time playing the game.

25:19 that is actually a reference to an essay harry and the gang had to write in the prisoner of azkaban book. it's about how during the salem witch trials, the witches that got captured would put a spell on the fire so that it tickled them instead of burning them. god! the amount of love the creators of the game have for this property is AMAZING

This is the game in which I constantly, and I mean *constantly* , decide to do something in particular, then I *slightly* go off track for one second, just to "see what's around the corner", and 30 minutes later I find myself in the complete opposite side of the castle after solving 15 puzzles. I'm a super curious, story and exploration driven type of gamer, so that happens to me in other RPGs as well, but this one has that certain something to it. The way it entices you into exploring every single little corner is simply charming!

All these Angry Reviews have been so good lately. Dead Space gets the first 10/10 in a while and Forspoken had me cracking up the whole review 😂

The transition from Harry taking the flume to the Sept exploding was absolutely incredible. Hilarious and well done!

I started playing this game and I was so enchanted that I sat in the same position for 13 hours and didn’t even realize it. My body wasn’t happy with me 😂

im not a real fan of harry potter, its super great to hear the fans got such a wonderful game. its really good to hear honestly.

I don't think I've seen joe this happy to review a game in a long time. the joy that joe expressed for all the different sides of this game, I will definitely be getting this game now! good review joe!

Deek´s friend quest had me legit depressed. Great game. I did not have high expectations but man, did I 100% this game like a mofo.

It's so great to see genuine joy and excitement coming from Joe while playing this

This game was incredible. And imagine what they could add in a sequel. We could have quidditch, the tri Wizard tournament, possibly delving more into Azkaban, or it could be even set at one of the numerous other wizarding schools in the world, such as the one they mention in Uganda. I’m so excited for more of these games

Joe's neighbors every time he films a scene outside the house: hey, the neighbors are being weird again.

I had to take my wife's picture when she first got on her broom and flew around Hogwarts. Biggest smile I've seen in months!

Maybe if they make a sequel, it could have your character entering the Ministry of Magic, getting to explore the different facilities and history, and you could take jobs as an Auror or an investigator of enchanted objects and creatures. Maybe it could even let you Obliviate muggles during a mission.

I honestly can't believe he gave this a 10/10

The house distribution for Alex and OJ was just perfect! I can easily see Alex being the snooty know it all Ravenclaw and OJ being the happy go lucky Hufflepuff! Perfect skits as ever!

I definitely wasn’t expecting the combat to be as fun & satisfying as it was.

"It's a 10/10" I felt a great disturbance in gaming, as if millions of twitter freaks suddenly cried out in anger, and are suddenly harassing anyone who likes the game

As you said it's a great foundation. I do wish they'd go for a more sim like game in the sequel. Go Bully with it. Have schedules and way more classes, better npcs for interaction, the house you picked should make a bigger difference, make the common rooms useful, morality system. I find it a bit funny that there are unforgivable curses in the HP world, but then you can freeze enemies and then shatter them up in small pieces and for some reason that is all fine and dandy. The kill curse is small beans compared to that lol.

This game is a visual love letter to the Harry Potter universe. Hogwarts Castle is full of details (even some super obscure that are mentioned maybe once or twice in the Books). The Devs clearly care about Hogwarts and the World. Its sad the game got cought in the JK Rowling controversy crossfire but man.. they did an amazing Job with the game and i hope they continue to make good games for this Universe :D

Holy fuck Alex’s line delivery at 8:30 had me CRYING HAHAHAHAHA

Okay but Alex’s skit on getting sorted, fuckin 10/10

Angry Joe gave this magical Assasins Creed game a higher score than Elden Ring and RDR2 🤦

Two 10/10 titles this year and we just got started? This is looking to be an awesome year for gaming!

quality stands on its own, so glad a game didnt fail to deliver

I've never been a potter fan but this game makes me jealous. I want a Gandalf game like this. And the increased focus on character animations, clothing and graphics is phenomenal.

Im actually pretty disappointed that this is one of the few games Joe has given a 10/10 in over 15 years. Let me start off by saying that the beginning of this game was AMAZING. if you are a harry potter fan then experiencing the castle for the first time is probably everything that you would've hoped for. It felt alive, you had the moving staircase, secret rooms, ghosts, animated paintings, quirky students and classes etc. You get to experience nearly everything that makes Harry Potter feel intriguing, and it's probably the best harry potter game ever made. If you are a casual gamer or someone whose nostalgia will carry you through almost anything, then I recommend this game 100%. In fact, I would recommend this game to anyone who is feeling even a little nostalgic because you will satisfy that urge to experience harry potter without a doubt, although be warned that you may end up caring a little bit less by the end of it since it might not feel as magical once you've experienced it all yourself. As a game, I think this game fails at quite a lot and it doesnt do anything new. It doesnt perfect the formula nor does it revolutionize anything. I give it a 6/10 but definitely a must buy for some people. After the first 10 hours or so, the stuff that impressed me on a first look, started to feel like routine. I wasnt impressed anymore by the moving staircases and paintings. You realize that everything is the same, over and over again. the castle stops feeling alive and begins to feel scripted. The mission structure began to overstay its welcome and it made me realize that every mission felt the same(both main and side quests). The npcs end up feeling very one-dimmensional, oftentimes only interacting with you if they're trying to give you a mission. They talk to the player as opposed to the character. towards the middle of the game, I ended up getting more and more frustrated at the level requirements to progress the story. I was being forced to do boring side quests just to complete the storyline(I usually dont mind side quests). at the end of it all, the story itself wasnt worth the effort. The combat is indeed fun but the enemy variety is extremely lacking. Every encounter feels the same. The spells are cool when used in conjunction, but even this is limited by the fact that you only have four spells available at a time and are required to switch pages for different loadouts. This would be fine, if you didnt have an abundance of useless or highly situational spells that take up these slots. You have to equip a spell to summon a crafting table, to conjure up food for animals, to conjure a brush to pet them, to repair broken things. The process of assigning these slots is not only tedious because its very easy to assign the wrong thing, but also quite cumbersome for the first 2/3s of the game. it slows the fights down and discourages you from using your spells the way you want to since youre more than likely going to need to reassign something mid battle. The biggest motivation to level up in the middle of the game was being able to upgrade the amount of pages that i could have simply to reduce the amount tedium that came with this system. I could go on and on. I really wanted to like this game. Even my wife was really intrigued at first and was enjoying watching me play but she also got bored after the first section. I understand that he is entitled to his opinion, but I would have hoped for a bit more objectivity from angry joe. This is definitely not a great 'game'. It might be a 10/10 'experience' for some. But for any veteran gamer, the flaws should stick out like a sore thumb. Giving this game a 10/10 over SO MANY amazing games that DO perfect the formula and DO revolutionize aspects of gaming is a great disservice to those games.

The amount of angry reviews over the past year have been a great treat. Hope you're not working yourself too hard Joe

From the opening cutscene, when the thestrals appeared, I knew this was made by people who actually genuinely like harry potter and want to make the game amazing

This has been my favorite Angry Joe vid in a long ass time going back to Joe actually talking with us with funny ass cuts with everyone, old school I loved it!

Bro gave this a higher score than Resident Evil 4, Spider-Man 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3.

I felt the good vibes in this video. I hope they'll expand the game in future expansions...so good to see these guys still having fun and doing what they love!

If they're going to do a sequel to this one (which i believe they are doing it 'cause this game was a hit in sales), i kinda want a more Bully approach to the classes and side activities, wich can integrate the points system so that by the end of the game we can see how gryffindor always win because plot.

For me the most incredible thing in this game is the castle. It was made on a 1:1 scale of a real castle if there ever were a Hogwarts in real life. I cannot even fathom the amount of work it took to make Hogwarts so humongous and so detailed.

I must have cast revelio 2000 times but I explored every single inch of that game, it looked amazing and boy, talk about wish fulfilment. I wanted more lessons, I really did, I would happily sit through a whole real life year's magical school education.

You know this game is immersive when you have a separate school outfit and a highlands outfit

I missed so much this kind of Angry Joe's Reviews, thanks for it

I love the cute little treasure chests with the eyes. They’re surprisingly expressive for a loot chest. The way they look so disappointed with themselves when the protagonist steals their stuff is so adorable

My boyfriend and I finished playing and let me tell you, it was AMAZING. Our biggest issues was the endings and the lack of accomplishment from platinum-ing the game. Also, the enemy variations, the lack of a friend in RavenClaw, and how repetitive the puzzles could be. It was a great game, but we need a better story in the future. Actually let me be an evil wizard, please!!

A 10/10 from other reviewers means its a masterpiece, but from Angry Joe? Its Art.

This is one of your best reviews yet! Little Joe as a 12-year-old is just too funny! 😂

I'm not a HP fan but this game really looks great with its amazing details. Imagine if an open world Middle Earth RPG made like this much detail and love for the lore.

10/10 but no quiddich and no real npc interactions...

The panning shot to hogwarts in the intro truly felt like a celebration of this universe. I absolutely loved every second of this game.

The Hogsmeade Shop side quest mission is one of the best in the game, it was like visiting Disney’s Haunted Mansion. I was a bit disappointed with the actual shop you own, all you can sell is gear at a slightly higher price than the other stores. It would have been nice to sell other materials like animals products or potions.

You know it’s a must buy when his final verdict is a 10/10

"You're bigger than my dad!" "That's too bad for your mom." GENIUS level writing.

“your bigger then my dad that’s to bad for your mom” was the highlight of my day thank you for that 😂

Amazing game! One thing I got way too excited for was did anyone else for a moment think we’d be able to go underwater more so than we did with the “Diving” side mission? That would be something awesome to add in a future game. Bubble charm or take some gillyweed.

this game is a great stepping off point for the future, I think if the story continues with an older character maybe 17(senior year) they'll be able to do so much. More branching paths and more tonally aware with greater interaction with the NPCs

It felt limited..like they held back. Idk how to explain it but i felt like it didnt reach its full potential.

I’ve rewatched the ‘your bigger than my dad’ scene three times. It’s still making me laugh

If you're a fan of the Wizarding World then I can see why you would give this game a 9 or 10. They did a pretty damn great job with just exploring the world.

Its honestly nice to see Avalanche score such a W with this title. Goes to show you should never judge a studio based on its previous work( they did a lot of animated film games prior). Good on them for surprising us all with how well this was done

Here i am after 18h to finish the game, disappointed, the only thing that kept me going was Sebastian quest, the rest is generic and repetitive

I do find it funny that you can turn a dude into an explosive barrel but there's no spell for warping your inventory to storage.

There is a good mod that makes Aurors chase you and throw you into Azkaban if you are seen using unforgivable curses. Mods are your best friend in this game, they provide the experience still lacking in an already great game, and make it into one of the greatest games of the last decade overall.

I just remembered why I love this channel. This review was top tier RU-vid content holy shit.

a 10? HELL NO. The world they created in hogwarts legacy is downright beautiful, but god DAMN is this game boring as hell. It started off great for the first few hours, but that's basically all the game has to offer, as you will find yourself doing the same exact loop, over and over and over.

"That's too bad for your mom" had me snickering

This game turned me into a freaking harry potter fan, never really got into fantasy stuff growing up as I preferred scifi. But this game has diving into the wizarding world head first, I can't wait to see what this developer does in the future, inside & outside of the wizarding world.

I really am left marveled by how good Hogwarts Legacy is. It felt so easy to mess up yet everything is flawless. It's truly a dream come true for Harry Potter fans.

Be honest with yourself joe was this actually better than rdr2?

I love seeing Joe being so happy, like a little kid!!!

“Hufflepuff on my nuts”. Classic Other Joe type of line and delivery. 10/10

Wow this has been a great year for gaming so far

I wanna see a review without the nostalgia glasses now.
