After what can become a tedious and hours-long tutorial that players will experience at the beginning of Hogwarts Legacy, Avalanche’s wizarding world action-RPG finally withdraws its leash and allows players to explore the open world at their leisure. Sure, players are encouraged to mainline the golden path’s story content so that players can indulge in every feature available (namely the Room of Requirement and Vivarium’s features), but that doesn’t have to thwart them from clearing the fog from Hogwarts Legacy’s mammoth world map and encountering numerous bandit camps along the way.
