"Gobstones please": Fans discuss what mini-games they can play in Hogwarts Legacy
Players have been speculating plenty about how authentically Hogwarts Legacy will replicate the wizarding world that they have grown up loving. The developers have promised a magical experience like never before. Fans have been poring over the frames of the gameplay trailer and conjecturing which locations, characters and mechanics will be part of the game.
A properly executed mini-game becomes a fun exercise for any player in an RPG. Players will be quick to point to Gwent in Witcher 3, Orlog in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and Five Finger Fillet in Red Dead Redemption 2. These mini-games provide a momentary pause to the humdrum of the game's narrative and are often a refreshing activity.
The March gameplay reveal already showed a glimpse of the player playing a mini-game with other NPCs standing beside them, including a companion and a professor. The player's character attempted to pull a ball with a spell towards them while moving the boxes that impeded its way.
Potterheads are aware of a number of activities that can be integrated as mini-games in the upcoming title. First and foremost, brewing potions can be done through mini-games, as one fan noted. Once the player has mastered a particular potion, they can choose to skip that portion of the mini-game.
A similar activity can also be associated with learning new spells in classes. One fan wanted fishing, which is a staple mini-game among such titles. Although wizards and witches can get hold of fish with Summoning and the Seize and Pull Charm, players will have fun catching fish through the traditional method.
Hogwarts Legacy can also include Gobstones, a hugely popular game among wizarding children, which was featured in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix game.
