Don't give Epic your time or money. Putting aside Fortnite and their pro-AI stance, they forsake the Unreal Tournament series. That's just unforgivable.

As for Hogwart's Legacy, the game is decent and even fun at first but gets repetitive quick. Bully from 2006 is a similar game minus the magic and lucrative IP attached. A shame it didn't get a sequel.

And as for J. K. Rowling, forgive me but she's a cunt. I wasn't huge on Harry Potter when growing up so I don't have any nostalgia about the series - be it the books or movies- but I know many of you are. I also know that many of you are LGBTQ+ so how you decided to reconcile with the series is up to you. While you can separate Rowling from your affection to the series, don't give her any more your time, money or attention.

Plus Bully did it so much better with social interactions with staff and students, having a schedule and generally feeling like a school. HL came nowhere even close to that to the point where I wondered if the devs even tried to make it like Bully and we all just assumed they did because what other game makes school life the focus and does it even half as well? I don't even think there is an indie game that tries it.
