Hogwarts Legacy can afford to up its game in a lot of areas where it chose to be ambitious. Its companion system is in dire need of an overhaul for the sequel in particular and could be far more favorable by considering popular features from other action-RPGs and sims. Hogwarts Legacy laid the foundation for a sequel to take this concept and run with it, but Avalanche will have to also decide whether it wants to keep companion options open to multiple characters across every Hogwarts house or keep companionships within the player’s own house for the sake of Harry Potter nostalgia.
