Every Harry Potter Video Game Ranked Worst To Best

12. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

Harry Potter isn't the only series that has tried to make it in the lucrative world of mobile microtransactions. Fan favourite franchises such as Nintendo's Super Mario and EA's Star Wars Battlefront have both had their fingers burned by this world, but there was something about 2018's Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery that hurt more than most.

Developed by Jam City, this role-playing adventure game takes place at Hogwarts inbetween the birth of Harry Potter and his enrolment in the school. The game is somewhat of an open-world, allowing players to customise their characters in various ways, choose whether they want to attend lessons, embark on quests, battle rivals and has unique personality measurements that alter based on the interactions players have with their surroundings.

To its credit, Hogwarts Mystery does a fine job in making use of its licence, throwing in the likes of Hagrid, Snape, Dumbledore and McGonagall for players to talk to and interact with.

There's just something about aggressive microtransactions in a Harry Potter game that people can't look past. Hogwarts Mystery isn't even subtle with its cash-grabbing nature either, forcing it down player's throats constantly and actually stopping them from progressing, unless they spend big on the gems needed to burn through hours worth of session wait times.
