Packing for Hogwarts

Just giving you guys a head’s up that I’ll probably be real quiet on social media for a bit because starting tomorrow I’ll be playing Hogwarts Legacy

I am very excited for this game I think the only other game this year I’m this excited for is the Breath of the WIid sequel

“But Kineil it’s problematic!”  Shush.  The game is purchased, the game has been purchased since early January when I told Mom about it and she whipped out her credit card, it’s an open-world Harry Potter game and I haven’t seen one of those since Chamber of Secrets for the PC ages ago and that one barely even counts.

“But Kineil you shouldn’t pre-order games.”  This is probably true!  In an era where games are famously rushed out half-baked with big day-one patches (looking directly at you, Pokemon), you should be very careful when buying games early on.

As such, I’ll be biting the bullet for you all and letting you know how gameplay goes, no politics involved.  I understand it’s Souls-like and I have no experience with that sort of game, but I’ll definitely let you know.  I have a degree in Game Art and have a general idea of how games are put together, so the reviews will mostly be centered around functionality.

Also, since CBR refuses to functionally cover this game out of fear of discussing JK Rowling, this will all be for free on Tumblr.  There’s a lot of political shenanigans and controversy surrounding the whole HP-verse, but normalizing the idea that we can disown a creator from their creation is a very dangerous path that I refuse to go down.

In other news, I would like to personally thank every single person who dedicated so much energy to hating Hogwarts Legacy.  If it wasn’t for them, I and so many other people would have never realized the game was coming out and bought it.  The game has topped every single chart it’s on thanks to their hard work.

Also to these people: “I can’t believe people can be so forgiving of a video game!”  My dudes you have clearly never been in the Pokemon fandom in the past twenty years if people can forgive scarvi’s buggy performance they can play through anything.

Once again I will be reviewing the game on Tumblr for free and giving a politics-free assessment of the game for everyone’s reading pleasure and so they can make their own decisions on whether or not they will play the game because people are unique and possessing of free will.  Mom suggests I also point you to my Patreon and Ko-Fi accounts if you desire to tip, but the content itself will be free and tagged with “Kineil plays.”
