The Backlog Check-in Vol. 271: 3/11/23: Bayonetta Origins/The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure/WWE 2K23 Edition

Now that I've finished Hogwarts Legacy, I wouldn't recommend it at full price. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it at all for most of you guys. I think Phase will enjoy it, but it's not worth getting day-1. Way too many missed opportunities, and the annoyances of the game really add up the further you go. Story is extremely unsatisfying - the main story is never really interesting, and the main sidequest that is kinda engaging for a bit forces you into a decision that I personally wouldn't have made, then has almost zero resolution at the end beyond one of the characters basically saying "Hey, remember that happened? Yup." Ugh.

I wasn't going to get it soon anyway, but I appreciate the word. I never got into HP (only saw one or two of the films), but the game did look fun to me. I'll still probably pick it up at some point *way* down the road and for a song, if ever.

You never seemed to be enjoying it all that much while you were playing it, I guess that it just never really clicked with you. I’m still interested in it of course, but the PS4 version got delayed again until May 5th so I won’t be playing it anytime soon. I still might get Dead Island 2 on day one if the reviews are positive.
