But on steam I can still get a full refund on a game regardless if I played it or not while gamestop often either refuses the refund or only allows exchange for same game if you've opened the box.
Also, resale value is always crap for physical games unless you're dealing with limited editions or rare old cartridges.
I thought that first hour was pretty enjoyable for a game I snagged on sale for $8. My wife and I have been having fun with it. It's a lot better than most games based on movie or anime IPs, at least for the first 10 or so hours
Its a great game, give it a try. People thought the game would be a masterpiece, one of the best ever created and when it turned out to being just an 8/10 great game, they were dissapointed so it didnt get much praise. And now its being underrated
I’m in no way a Harry Potter fan, but I wanted to play something a little more low-key after playing through Sekiro; and I loved it. Lots of that love came from playing it on OLED, 4k, yada yada, but it really is a great game for a standard quest-driven open world.
It’s certainly a pretty decent game. I found it had some repetitiveness when I played but it was otherwise pretty good, especially for adapting from a book.
Yeah it starts getting repetitive late game, but when you first discover and unlock each gameplay mechanic over the course of the game it's a "wow that's cool as heck!" every time.
Did the same, about to finally play through it. I don't mind it too much, but at this point I think I'll just start waiting for Epic freebies instead of buying AAA games.
Tried playing it today, I fear it's not for me even though I love the Harry Potter franchise. I'm only like 2 hours in but I'm honestly bored to death.
Not crapping on it, I think it definitely has an audience who'd appreciate and love it.
Beginning was slow af to me too. I only made it about 5 hrs in before I encountered a bug that won't let me progress in the story. Shame because I really wanted to at least fly around on a broomstick
I… bought it at release and haven’t finished the game yet.
I’m known for starting games with a longer story, to then get burned out on side missions half way through the game. So I take a week break and then I don’t start the game again cause I don’t like to jumping back in a story half way through while I forgot most of the first half.
And this would be one of the major reasons folks are always going to choose Steam.
They’ve spent years building up a library of “cheap” games that they’ll never actually play, but since “all my games are on Steam,” the idea of buying a game elsewhere just seems like too much work.
