Using a keyboard/mouse and it's starting to become more fluid, so I have to almost 'play' my keyboard during the battles. 1 on 1s can have some interesting events, but the big battles are so much fun when you're block/dodging and bouncing spells off enemies. I think a controller would be better, but by this point for me it would be like starting over. This video is a lesson in how to be more intentional in those keyboard 'notes'. The combat is really underrated in this game, because you can be pretty bad and clunky for almost 40% completion. Once you get the timings down, it starts to really evolve. So far, this game is almost a perfect combination of game genres and theme, along with a steady pace, you can forgive a lot of quirks.
I wasn't into the Potter franchise myself however, this game looks like they put everything they had the budget for plus their love for the series into. I'm actually really glad it turned out so well and it's super satisfying to see both the new and veteran fans finally get the game they deserve when it comes to the quality and mechanics.
They need people like you to record gameplay for marketing. The pre release combat footage didn't look great but now that I'm playing it I think it's super fun I wasn't expecting the variety of combos
Yuuuuup. It looked simple, easy and not too deep which kept me from getting for a few days. I got it and played it and was like wow, this isn’t easy! I love it!
@@fogg0 still not impressed by it, it doesnt come close to From games, Nioh, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma (which has the most beautiful magic casting system in the entire game industry)
What a gameplay, bro! I'm in my second run as a Ravenclaw. I can say it guys, you will never get bored. Combo's possibilities are barbaric with just 4 spells, so imagine when you got them all. What a great, freestyling and dynamic combat system we have in here. And so simple... Hats off for devs. It's been a long while since I enjoy a game as I do now. And don't forget graphics and FX. This game looks absolutely stunishing.
@@brotherdarknessgaming4479 Im a Nioh 2 player that has thousands of hours on it. If you know anything about that game, the combat is deep af. Whats the correlation? Im enjoying HL’s combat. It might not be revolutionary but it’s good enough for me to enjoy it. It’s not as boring as any of the Soulsborne series’ combat (except Sekiro). Youre just being extra lol.
God, the combat feels amazing & reactive. Just wish there was more enemy variety. It's really lacking in that regard. That said, the enemies you do encounter (particularly other wizards) are pretty dynamic.
@@maineman5757 hopefully there'll be dlc. I want a dlcs exploring the vaults of gringotts & uncovering secrets in the ministry of magic. There could be a london dlc where we could go to diagon alley & some muggle areas. New spells. New talents. New enemies. God, the possibilities are endless.
I wish there were more dark wizards and duels against other friendly wizards honestly. Using the spells against human enemies feels more satisfying than the non human enemies, also once you clear every camp the enemies don’t spawn back in so you have nothing to fight by the end of the game
I'm surprised nobody's talking about the fact that the music is a remix of the song used in the Quidditch World Cup game! Great video and I'm sending this to people who think the combat looks lame
@@lbentosoares4 maybe is the D&D player in me but HP wizards always felt not right, also wife is the Potterhead of the family and by proxy I kinda know everything and watched all of those even the new bad ones and the play!
@@gzzuss It's just a perspective thing then, not a fact. I'm also a D&D player, love RPG in general, but I am a huge fan of HP since childhoode and I grew to see this story in a different light than the regular fantasy tropes we are used to, they are cool on their own light, not to compare with other wizard types from other epic stories (like Gandalf for example)
@@lbentosoares4 how the hell you take a fiction character as a FACT? Storytelling is by definition subjective there's no right or wrong because I feel HP wizards dull 🤦🏾♂️
This game is so fun! The combat is “complex” enough for me to enjoy (Im a Nioh 2 fan so ifykyk). The fact that you can use 16 spells on the fly (fully upgraded) gives me the stance feeling from Nioh. Some of the control’s a little weird for me but really good and satisfying so far
@@rookietastic you can personalize your combos which is what I like. There’s also the fact that some enemies will have special reactions to certain spells but you gotta read the enemy guide to know that. Theres definitely elements that any Nioh players could enjoy.
My finest combat moment in this game happened by complete accident. I was comboing one of the giant spiders, and when I finished it off it did a nice, cinematic, slow-motion backflip in the air...and all of a sudden, WHAM! It gets nailed by the passing Hogwarts Express and carried off out of sight.
Pfff that sounds both cool and hilarious. Reminds me of one time i was playing Zelda BotW and i dodged a monster's attack, and right as i flurry rushed it, another ome got in the way and it YEETED like 100 meters away
They really did a great job with the combat in this game, it's like a cross between The Witcher 3 and Marvel's Spider-Man. It's always fun and you can change it up a lot by mixing and matching different spell loadouts.
I wish i was able to do this.. Look so cool man !!! Do we get a update build where you show alle talent point you spend...?? Do you every stream ? Be fun to watch i think... Thanks kindly.
Bro was throwing some of the wildest combos and wasn’t even level 40…they really need to come on with multiplayer…I’m ready to get it crackin with my fellow Slytherins….
0:48 did I see that correctly? You can redirect a spell?! Is it something you unlock later in the game? Cause I haven't seen this being a possibility in my game
there is a few ways to reflect stuff. a perfect block reflects spells back at wizards and even breaks their shields. what he did there though is that you can use the ancient magic throw on crossbow goblins as they load the crossbow.
Loved ur combos. I have been exploring more than doing stories so I havent yet gotten glacius, it looks fun. I enjoy doing accio followed by 4 basic casts, confringo then levios and finally depulso to slam them onto a wall. Until glacius is unlocked, Idk what to do with defendo it doesnt look good enough if they dont break into pieces. Consider making a combo compilation?
HP lore: "Noooo you can't use the killing curse to instantly and painlessly kill someone! That's evil!" This mf: "Oh, okay. Levioso! Descendo! Glacius! Diffindo!"
They do, but the Ice/Slashing combo is easily one of the best combos in the game. Personally I like doing Incendio after Accio, or you can use Levioso and then Descendo

The combat is some of the most cinematic gameplay I’ve ever experienced.
Can you turn the hit numbers off? I never understand why games do that, it ruins the cinematography of a game for me.
@@PeriodDrama definitely
@@PeriodDramayes

Is no one gonna talk about the insane rock version of the quidditch games title screen music? So fuckin cool
Imagine if the protagonist had gone for more than one year of school, bruh you’d make dumbledore look like a 1st year.
I did not know you could flail objects with wingardium leviosa to do damage! I love it
Bro this looks so good. Looks like just pure fun to play.
Voldemort shat his pants after watching this
Damn.
This is pretty cool, Alex.
I'm not a Harry Potter guy at all but this looks pretty good
The goblin psrt at end i was esting nearly choked laughing
This game is basically devil may cry but with spells
Holy crap, that looked great

*Glacius to Diffindo will always be my go to combo. Anything before those two spells is a bonus*
Wow, comat looks quite good in this. Loved the end 😂
Fantastic showcase!
They need to have the dropped boxes appear more weighted
He made a troll shatter.. He's next Level
This is really, really impressive.
You're a wizard Harry.
The Glacieus and defendo combo is my favorite
This is far far better than all the avada cadavra videos , Why would anyone want to end the dual with one spell !
cuz it do be funny sometimes, although i always preferred the other curses
“Put me on the ground now!”….”okay”-proceeds to slam to the ground 💀
All these combos and im over here just using avada kadavra on everything.
Just started playing - gotta lvl up cause that looked so fun!
Quidditch world cup theme remix aye I see you
How do you get on your broom without pulling up the menu for it?
I wish i was able to do this.. Look so cool man !!!
Do we get a update build where you show alle talent point you spend...??
Do you every stream ?
Be fun to watch i think...
Thanks kindly.
Bro just unlocked combo's 🔥🔥🔥
So is it just some thing in the trailer for combat because I want to know how you can cross wand beams with other wizards
Amazing!
great ideas.
Now this game needs VR version
HOLY WAND STICKS! THIS WAS NEVER IN ANY OF THE MOVIES! Well played my friend well played!👍😎👌😁🗡️😮😳😎👍
This kind of combat makes me want to buy it. I'll wait eagerly for sales.
a wingardium to depulso. I gotta admit i didnt think of that. cool stuffs
Bro was throwing some of the wildest combos and wasn’t even level 40…they really need to come on with multiplayer…I’m ready to get it crackin with my fellow Slytherins….
Let him cook now !!!!
Dude i tell you you play like me an that’s hella rare to see 👏🏾👏🏾
Wow the level of creativity
Nice
That was amazing
The ministry: “administering death by Avada Kedavra is a no-no, but everything else is fine.”
Can't wait for this to come out for PS4.
just get a ps5. It won't look nearly as good on ps4.
This is more doable than Elden ring
Imagine harry potter movies combat this fast
If this guy was a FINAL BOSS of the game, we're all f*cked
Gonna have to buy this 👍🏻
You're this good at just level 25? Goddamn, I'm around the same level as you and still need to learn perfect protego

I'll get this soon. 😋

Hahahah even better than the movies
Great movie 🖤🤍🖤
Beautifully played
Looking forward for best combo tutorial.
You play. It. On the digital ps4 version right
Is there a setting for the red dot to appear when you are targeting an enemy ?
You can target enemies by pushing R3 or Caps Lock

do you play in performance mode?
w8, troll has some weaknes on that glacius diffindo or you playin on normal.mode?

@@DonDeLem you can also use the slow down after burning someone to make the burn last longer
Looks like more fun than forspoken

Descendo
Depulso
Glacius
Diffindo
You should master the combat without UI activated. Much more challenging 😋
Remixed background music from Quiditch game!! 😃
Now do a remix of that with Bury the Light
I don't know why lot of people hate this beautiful game??😔😔😔
Can you pvp in this game?
