TLDR version of this version: Looks okay. Doesn't run fantastic, but it's playable. Open world has been replaced with separate zones, and each time you cross zones expect painfully long load times. Beyond that, it's the same game.
If you're a big fan, and love Harry Potter, you owe it to yourself to play this game on the best hardware you can afford.
That is too say that Hogwarts Legacy is a game where the visual presentation, and the feeling of immersion is the most important thing about the experience.
To put it another way, this is one of a select few titles where a high end gaming PC with proper RTX features and HDR, actually elevates the experience significantly.
If that's not an option, then the PS5 version is a significant downgrade, but still very good.
Seriously, they put soo much time and effort into all the small little details and the look of everything.
The first time you step into Hogwarts with everything cranked to the max, and HDR+RT it's on another level.
Good deal just came out less than a month ago on switch. If this was physical I'd grab it. Kids want it for Christmas.

Heard that it doesn't run the best, mainly in the character details and textures space, but it's still a pick up for me at that price. Also the DLC pack is 30% off too. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store...24-switch/

How is it compared to the lego Harry Potter on the wii? We tried that one and it was pretty horrendous.

Totally different game. Haven't played it on Wii (so not sure what was bad - if you didn't like the game overall, it's vastly different).

Hogwarts Legacy, overall, is freaking fantastic. The Switch version is by far the 'worst' (I have it on PS5/PS4 and Switch and have played through is 2x, working on Switch now).

Graphics are significantly dumbed-down (both characters and environment), and the open-world aspect is also toned down. You enter areas now (i.e, leave Hogwarts and enter open world, leave open work to enter Hogsmead, leave Hogsmead to enter a shop.. etc.).

Having said that - the Hogwarts Legacy game and experience is all still there, and it's still a really enjoyable time. Just the 'worst' version of the really enjoyable experience.

Is the Definitive Edition worth the extra cost?

It was $40 at our local Wal-Mart on rollback last week in store. I'm sure it still is. Don't look online as it'll still show $60 for the physical game. Just go in the store.

The first time you step into Hogwarts with everything cranked to the max, and HDR+RT it's on another level.

I didn't notice a huge difference with rtx on my 4090. The hall floors looked nice I guess. But yeah, maxed out graphics on pc looked amazing. Especially the opening with fig.
