Madam Hooch teaches Flying which improves your ‘Courage’ attribute and also increases the amount of energy you can store. Attending his classes improves your ‘Empathy’ levels and unlocks different spells such as Flipendo, Alohomora, etc. Attending his classes will improve your ‘Knowledge’ levels as well as unlock different potions.
Sigh! You are unable to move your character freely in different locations (Image by Farid-ul-Haq)Īs for the learning experience, in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Year 1, you are taught three subjects. Want to start playing the next mission? Either spend some real money or wait for eight hours for it to unlock on its own. What’s even more annoying is that you have to wait for certain missions to unlock after their timer runs out. You can also wait for your energy bar to recover or tap certain things around Hogwarts for a couple of free energy orbs if you don’t want to spend actual cash. And what are you to do when you run out of energy? Buy more with real money, of course! Tapping on the screen to fill up the progress bar also uses up your character’s already limited energy stores.
In short, it’s boring.ĭo not expect to play the entire game in one sitting. There are also instances where you have to answer some multiple choice questions. Occasionally, you’ll be asked to move your finger over a specific design that’s meant to cast spells or do a certain action. Think of it as the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game. They will stand in one spot, while you tap on different options on the screen to fill a progress bar above. You are unable to move your character at all. I was expecting to be able to roam around familiar environments from Harry Potter. At Diagon Alley, you’ll get to experience some of the gameplay. Rowan has no set gender and is programmed to present the same gender as your main character. A lot of the character customization is locked and costs in-game currency.Īnyway, you visit Diagon Alley where you meet Rowan Khanna.
But the moment you begin creating your character, you get a whiff of the inevitable ‘pay-to-win’ title this game will soon become.
I liked how you can choose whether you want to be a witch or a wizard, instead of selecting from the traditional male or female gender options. In HP: HM you get to create your own character. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery was advertised as a game that allowed you to attend Hogwarts, the wish of millions of fans around the world. However, after ending Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Year 1, my current opinion about the game isn’t great. I was even willing to excuse it for just being a mobile game if it was able to offer me something enjoyable. Playing as a Ravenclaw, I didn’t spend a single cent during Hogwarts Mystery Year 1 (Image by Farid-ul-Haq) I, like many other fans, had been looking forward to playing Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.
