I'm playing this game right now and it's honestly a six out of 10. The only reason to launch the game at all is because of the world design which is top notch. So top notch it scores all of those six points, because the plot characters story and gameplay are all a let down otherwise. This is the type of game that will disable the controls for your magical flying broom and then tell you that you need to climb a wall. I wish it wasn't so successful so they didn't think this formula was so good, because if they made the game actually good AND a Harry Potter property, that would have really been something special. But as it is now, it's just an uninspired video game painted in a pretty coat of a popular franchise. I'm sure we'll get a sequel.

I'm curious, what open world games do you rate as a 9 or 10? I'm not saying Hogwarts did anything revolutionary, but it did most things pretty solidly. It's been a while since Ive played an open world game that does a good job on making the world actually feel alive.

Witcher 3 I'd rate 9/10.
