Hogwarts Legacy’s summer update is, unfortunately, rather disappointing. This is the first major content update sinceHogwarts Legacyfirst launched in February of last year and outside of the ‘Haunted Hogsmeade Shop’ quest, there isn’t a lot present to draw players back in. A Photo Mode is nice but it shouldn’t be the tentpole of the update, and the cosmetics are hardly game-changing.

I recently wrapped up a playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy and while I adore the series, if I had to pick a gripe, it would most definitely be the speed of traversal. Shepard is a force to be reckoned with, putting a stop to any foe that stands in his or her way. No enemy is too great because Shepard is the perfect soldier.
