Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

OK I have to be honest here, yes I've poured many hours into the campaign and yes I run the risk of the trans community painting a target on my back by admitting I interact with this game, bit at the end of the day, the only reason why I play this game is because of my love for anything Harry potter related as let's face it, there isn't a game here as its more an interactive story about events that take place in the wizarding world outside of Harry's perspective. I will say the story is well written and deserves to be in a proper game, however it's clear the developers want to make as much money from this as humanly possible by stuffing in tons of microtransactions to bring what little gameplay there is to a complete halt. The presentation is poor with characters clearly being marionettes in game, sound samples are lame, and there's way too much time where you're sitting around doing nothing to recommend even to diehard Potterhead’s. Hopefully one day the story and spell minigames will shine in a proper game, however I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Ps. Me being a Potterhead DOESNT MAKE ME A TRANSPHOBE!!!! I love the trans community and agree that they deserve love and support from everyone. That said this franchise is one of the few things from my childhood that still resonate with me, and no amount of discourse is going to ruin the fond memories I have with it regardless of where it's coming from.
