Hogwarts Legacy's castle hailed as one of the best locations in any open world game

Some players will likely consider Hogwarts Legacy to be one of the best video games to release in 2023, but it's been a stacked year with some stiff competition.

Hogwarts Legacy lets you live the Harry Potter life of your dreams in its wonderfully crafted digital world. The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is an immersive place like no other with its stunning interiors and lush exteriors that will have players exploring for many more months to come.

However, as engaging as the main and side missions of Hogwarts Legacy are, you could easily spend many hours exploring the sites. Regardless of what your opinions may be on this game, there’s little denying that its open world is an absolute beauty with Hogwarts Castle as its centrepiece.

Fans on Reddit have been discussing the beautiful wonder that is the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Hogwarts Legacy. “The visuals in this game,” said InfernalDeath kicking off the discussion on the thread.

“This game gets a major plus for brickwork. In an area most open world games gloss over, I gush over the detail and love poured into the castle,” replied Holiday-Discount8005. “The castle alone should win awards, it's the most beautiful AND complex place I've ever seen in a video game,” suggested ArdenCallaway.

“This was one of my absolute favourite rooms in the castle! Beautiful lighting. I wish I could explore it for the first time again, easily the best part of playing the game,” said ayumistudies, referring to the main image used in the thread. “The castle is really a sight to behold. Walking round it for the first time was amazing,” exclaimed EHVERT.

In related news, a dataminer believes that information on Hogwarts Legacy 2 has been discovered, and fans have been calling for remakes of the OG Harry Potter games.

Hogwarts Legacy is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, with its Nintendo Switch release date currently scheduled for 14 November 2023, that’s assuming that it’s not delayed, again.
