Reviews for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

With the recent updates, the game has become unplayable. You'll work on a mission, use your energy, and come back a half hour later to find that none of your progress saved you have to restart. I've spent days trying to get past 1 story, I get enough stars to pass, only need 3 of 5 to pass, and when i come back after the timer is up for that mission, it says I failed and didnt get enough stars and shows that i only collected one. Its literally back kicking to restart the video part of the story

great story, interface, and gameplay. but its hard to get into past the 2nd year because it takes so long for everything. bring back 1hr unlimited energy once in awhile. allow people to play fully. have more energy win options more than just 10 here and there.. its just hard to play longer than a few minutes at a time and get into. been playing since the game first came out and I always stop at year 4.

Anyone rating this game more than 2-3 stars is lying, a bot, or paying to play 🤢 Another money hungry game where progress is hidden behind a paywall. When you start, the energy you have is enough to complete a task. As you progress, your energy becomes worth less and less until having MORE THAN FULL energy cannot even get you to 3 stars on a single task. If I can't play the game, what's the point in having it?

Every time I want to play, I feel like I spend as much time closing out of pop up boxes and transaction offers (sometimes the same one multiple times), as I do actually playing the game, several boxes at a time. The initial loading screen is probably as long as it is to load up all the spam I gotta close out of just to do anything, and then as soon as I do a task, more of the same ones pop up, and it probably contributes to the insane, and I mean insane lag this game has! it's so annoying!

I love this game, but there are issues, for example I was trying to do a task for a timed side quest and had to start the same task over several times over 2 days because of that I didn't complete the side quest and lost the reward. I try to be in the dormitory when I log out hoping that it won't restart something I already finished but it doesn't work all the time.

Had to change my rating because the Tapjoy "opportunity" to receive gems for completing offers needs to be taken down. If you're not going to award people for their hard work completing the offers in a certain limited time than it doesn't need to be offered. This has happened twice on two different offer games. I was getting the awards at first than it always stops. Reached out to both and got no response just redirected. Probably because your not spending enough money.

The game is interesting and can be fun. The items to speed up cost way too much the energy runs out quick. To complete tasks in time is almost impossible if you have a life because wait times are ridiculous on energy. They need to make things cheaper to have more fun. Yeah, the game can be completed for free but you're not getting anything special because their system of energy and game time is ridiculous. Don't plan on getting anything special out of this game unless you're willing to spend $$$

This is a great game but in order to nake any progress, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money. My max energy is 27, but it takes about 5 minutes to regenerate 1 energy. And most of the tasks require way more than the 27 you can store without buying energy with money. I can see wanting to masked money, it is a business. But as much as they are trying to make as fast as they are trying to make it, I took off 2 stars just for the waiting time for energy to build up.

Visually, it looks really good, but the energy system is awful. Quests uses a lot of energy, but the maximum amount is only 25 and takes about an hour to fully charge. Worst part? The quests are TIMED. If you don't complete it in time, the progress RESTARTS FROM ZERO. So if you miss even an hour from spending your energy, don't even bother trying to complete the quest. And even if you manage to complete it, get ready to face MORE HOURS OF WAITING to just start the next quest.

I recently picked this game up again when my son was in the hospital. I really enjoy it. However, the newest update they did ruined a few things. The ads to collect more points/gems/coins and such seems to be broken. Ads don't load and glitch out and make the game freeze, so you have to close and restart it. It is extremely annoying. I am still playing but the fact that I can add a few extra points every now and then is a bit bothersome. Everything was working just fine before this update.
