In a long list of impressive features Hogwarts Legacy shipped with, the details of the game's seasonal changes has captured the hearts of many players currently going through the story. It is no hyperbole to state that Avalanche Software built one of the finest open world experiences in recent memory. From trying to uncover the secrets of Hogwarts and building out the Room of Requirement, to exploring the Scottish countryside via broom or hippogriff, these aspects of Hogwarts Legacy are all joined in perfect harmony.
