Oh just now?… wow they had to work real hard to top a game that released on a single console.
I thought it was a great game that captured the spirit of the books & movies so well. Thankfully all the mock outrage and virtue signaling didn't affect its sales and probably boosted them.
mock?
Yes. Some game "reviews" were such absurd, performative straw man attacks at JK Rowling that they bordered on parody. I'm thinking of the Wired one in particular but others were equally bad. The irony is these diatribes clearly helped the game, or rather, this really good game sold well in spite of that crap. Ultimately these websites just undermined their own reputations.
