Going back to Hogwarts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hogwarts Legacy <\/em>has been a touchy subject for many, and honestly, it’s put me off playing the game throughout 2023. The criticisms of the universe’s creator, J.K. Rowling, are well-founded. I’m bisexual and part of the LGBTQ+ community, but to me, the Harry Potter<\/em> series is more important than her; it was a huge part of my childhood. The holidays are also a time when my parents watch the movies, so it’s always something in the back of my mind during that time of year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After a year of heavy guide writing, I decided to return to the Scottish highlands and finish my fifth year at Hogwarts. The game’s visuals and storytelling entranced my family. However, it wasn’t what they expected as they witnessed the end of Sebastian’s dark storyline. Oh, and it was also fun to flip over a cow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With so many 2023 releases like Starfield<\/a> <\/em>or Baldur’s Gate 3<\/a><\/em>, games will fall by the wayside, especially if you have Xbox Game Pass. We all have busy schedules, so getting one or two weeks off is a blessing. That’s why it’s so fascinating there are trophy and achievement hunters out there who finish a game to completion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The patience and the reluctance to buy new games are something to be admired. However, as a guide writer who has to stay current, I move on from games I love, which can be heartbreaking. It’s part of the job, especially as a freelancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you conquered a backlog game over the holidays? Were you able to defeat the Mongols in Ghost of Tsushima <\/em>or finally finish every world in Super Mario Odyssey <\/em>to completion?
