As not many people have had early access to the title, the data from the Howlongtobeat portal are not yet complete enough. Therefore, we will have to rely on the information provided by the first reviews, either from the press or from bloggers. Let's take a look at some data.
According to the official artbook of the game and reading the first reviews we discovered that, following only the main story, the game requires between 35 and 40 hours. By devoting yourself to the side quests, instead, you get about 60, 70 hours of gameplay. The finalists who want to reach 100% will have to work hard between 90 and 100 hours of gameplay.
As new users complete the game, we expect to have more complete data on Howlongtobeat, which we recommend you visit from time to time to get a better idea.
We therefore have longevity superior to that of the vast majority of traditional action RPGs, and more along the lines of that of The Witcher-style WRPGs. Given the overall quality of the production and the opinions of historically reliable personalities such as Angry Centaur Gaming, it seems that players will be entertained for a long time, without boredom taking over.
Now it would be interesting to see if most players are really happy with the length of Hogwarts Legacy. And the reason is soon to be told.
In fact, in recent years we have noticed how an increasing number of players tend to prefer shorter gaming experiences, which do not involve long-term commitments. It's a taste characteristic of "older" gamers, perhaps dealing with a lifestyle that doesn't allow for much free time, between family, work and so on.
However, despite personal taste, we can only be happy to deal with quality that also goes well with quantity. Indeed, if many games insert fillers and seek quests that give almost nothing in terms of gameplay, it seems that this is not the case with Hogwarts Legacy. The developers have been careful not to fall into repetitiveness, relying on their experience and the potential offered by the franchise.
