Harry Potter: Magic Awakened - 9 Things Fans Demand

5. Only Use Combat As And When It's Needed

Magical combat has always been fun in the Potter games, but don’t make this a full on hack ‘n’ slash/brawler-type thing on release. Combat will be a big deal, we saw that in the leaked footage, but don’t make it everything.

Give us puzzles, narrative beats that require exploration, or even tailing a shifty-looking student or member of staff. Have us tame a hippogriff out in the forest, or give us a tough quest revolving around Thestrals we can’t see yet.

However, depending on how broken this might make things, still give us the option to use offensive magic if we so desire. Professor Binns is being boring as balls. Why not kill him again? We can’t see those thestrals?

Oh look! A passing student. *spell* Oh, now I can see them.

Just don’t make it "Oh, I’ve been dropped into a room full of things to kill. Do that, then the door opens."

Give us variety. Give us everything. Give us the power to go about things however we choose.
