    I’m sad Howard’s legacy sold so well.

    Also Cyberpunk sold better than I expected given the launch.

      To be fair, Hogwarts Legacy is a very good game, I started playing yesterday and the atmosphere of the movies is perfectly captured! I did expect a cash grab, but I was totally wrong.

        As someone who has beaten the game. The cash grab part is just after your first day and the “open world” starts up.

        It’s not a bad game, but it gets pretty bland and generic once the main loop of ditching school starts.

          For now there’s nothing of the sort, but I’m only a few hours in. Could it be too good to be true…?

          Well, let’s see. It is a AAA game after all…

          Edit: No, the game really is fun. 20 hours in, and I must say even if it were only exploring Hogwarts it would be quite worth my time. The music and atmosphere are really neat.

          Edit2: I can’t believe it’s a AAA title. There is no ingame shop, everything is obtainable just by playing. The world is beautiful and full of interesting stuff to find. And best of all: it’s fun! The cash grab part is just a lie. If you have an agenda, use arguments, not lies.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 was pretty good - aside from the mega-thirsty player-sexual NPCs - but I’m replaying the originals now and enjoying them more. Didn’t play a single other game in this list!
