finally gave fans the gorgeous open-world RPG they'd been wishing for since they first got a taste of exploring Hogwarts in the original video game.
Exploring the enormous school interior and doing a spot of shopping in Hogsmeade simply never gets old. The open world, or at least part of it, is what makes such a compelling RPG in the first place.
Of course, with the sequel now in production and on its way, fans are speculating on what sort of changes it could bring to the formula and world established in the first game.
While many may want to see its open world expanded, there's a good reason why the opposite is true.Avalanche software needs to scale back on its ambitions showcased in the first game in order to not only deliver a more compelling experience but also ensure that isn't rushed and ends up feeling like a more hollow game overall.
A lot of the time, open world can feel more like busy work than a genuinely enjoyable place to explore. There are plenty of things to do or mysteries to uncover in world, but it never quite feels as engaging as exploring the castle or Hogsmeade.
