A survival game in cartoony isometric style a majority of people here most probably know. It's really fun to explore the world, find new ways to interact with environment and build a sustainable base. After some time it got a bit boring to me though - while I won't claim I've discovered everything the game has to offer, after learning most mechanics and building most tools to be able to survive more or less infinitely, the game become quite repetitive.

Status: beaten. As I wrote above, I've discovered most main mechanics, created a sustainable base (in survival mode), found Maxwell's doors and walked through them. After that I've considered the playthrough finished and called it a day. While the game was really fun at first, after some time I've got bored with repetitive actions.

Your average part of the LEGO series - some running around destroying things for studs, some easy puzzles, cutscenes rehearsing main events of the books/movies' plots in pantomime. As I am not exactly an avid fan of Harry Potter series (though potterverse fanfics remain my all-time guilty pleasure) I don't know the plot of latter parts of the series too well - and LEGO games in general, and this one in particular is not known for their attention to story - if you don't know what should be happening in the scene you see, you won't really know what's going on. Adding to that significant performance issues of the title (large FPS drops for no particular reason, and judging from Steam reviews I am not the only one suffering from that), I'd recommend the game only for the most die-hard fans of J.K. Rowling's works.

Status: beaten. I've finished the main plot and had no urge to even start playing in free mode to gather collectibles.
