With all the controversy around the game, I pretty much ignored anything to do with it at launch. Since the game is on sale right now I wanted to know, is it actually any good? If it is I'd like to play it.

I liked it a lot but there are a few things that are maddening if you try to be a completionist:

  • Unlocking doors is a chore. Just do the absolute minimum required to advance. There isn't that much interesting behind all those optional ones.

  • Some of the optional fetch quests can get tedious (esp. those involving the aforementioned locked doors). Don't be afraid to skip them.

The lack of money makes early game annoying. There is a really simple solution but that only gets spelled out unnecessarily late in the game:

spoilerTurn invisible to open the chests with the big eye. Hogsmeade has a bunch of those. You won't have money problems after opening those.
