Hi,
Has anyone played this yet? We have a PS5. Looking forward to it. Hopefully it’s as good as it looks!

No because it's now out on PS4 yet 😩

MadameThenardier · 14/04/2023 20:36

Yes, I love it. I’ve played it through a few times now and got the Platinum trophy.

MorehouseplantsPls · 14/04/2023 20:42

I’m really enjoying it on the PS5. It’s a very relaxing game to play if you play it on story mode - I’m not in to the fighting really.

MadameThenardier · 14/04/2023 20:54

@MorehouseplantsPls Yes, I’m a completionist! I played the story through for each house because the storylines are slightly different. For two of the play through I completed 100% of the field guide and collections. And for one house I basically did 100% of everything to ensure I got the Platinum trophy. My longest play through took about 65 hours.

Played it all through on PC (as Slytherin). I thought it was brilliant. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It's so pretty as well, it's nice to just ramble about exploring.

MorehouseplantsPls · 14/04/2023 21:15

@TwitTwoodiniEscapeOwlogist that sounds right up my street. I’m big on scenery 🤣I will play on story mode as duelling /fighting isn’t the be all and end all for me. Same as @MyOwnVolt

I want to finish the newest Horizon zero Dawn first then I can start.

Have it on pre order for Xbox One. Release got pushed back by a month! Hope you enjoy.

MadameThenardier · 14/04/2023 21:25

I agree, it’s very beautiful and relaxing. I completed on normal mode and didn’t find the combat remotely challenging - but I had just completed Horizon Forbidden West on Ultra Hard mode plus Eldon Ring 🤣

I think I still slightly prefer Horizon as the story is more engaging. I’ve just restarted Forbidden West as there’s a DLC out next week. Can’t wait.

BeyondMyWits · 14/04/2023 21:28

I have it and I love it. Still playing my first playthrough, it is not a long game to play the whole story, but there are puzzles and collections and other distractions... I am 120 hours in and just enjoying it so much.

Today I bred some golden baby unicorns, defeated a couple of trolls for their bogeys and completed some smaller side quests... lovely way to lose an afternoon. I'm a Hufflepuff, our common room has SERIOUS amounts of cake!

underneaththeash · 14/04/2023 21:31

We have it in PC. I like side quests, so it’s a bit linear for me. But plays fine.

MorehouseplantsPls · 14/04/2023 22:16

@MadameThenardier Horizon is a beautiful game. I am enjoying the Forbidden West game. Some if the cut scenes are long though. But story wise it’s great.
The bit I don’t enjoy as much, is completing the
Cauldrons. I find them too silvery and metallic 🤣 I prefer the great outdoors.

MorehouseplantsPls · 14/04/2023 22:17

@BeyondMyWits i am very much looking forward to the the baby unicorns 😵

DD and I are playing it through (very slowly) as Ravenclaw. Hogwarts is so beautifully realised, and I love uncovering all the secrets!

MorehouseplantsPls · 14/04/2023 22:22

@bookworm14 are you playing separately? It’s not a 2 player is it?

OP posts:
MadameThenardier · 14/04/2023 23:03

@MorehouseplantsPls I agree, the cauldrons are a little tedious. The cut scenes are long, I do enjoy them though and I’m looking forward to watching the TV show they are making.

Together. She is 7 and loves Harry Potter but I don’t think she’d cope with the game by herself.

Same here- it’s a great game for fans of the series, but if you’re like me and enjoy the depth of millions of side quests like Skyrim etc, then you’ll find HL lacking.

I’m delighted the game has done really well, and it’s a lot of fun, but it’s frustrating seeing the potential for a really immersive experience and it just not being there.
