How Hogwarts Mystery Has Redeemed Itself

Video games can often suffer underwhelming releases after failing to meet the high expectations of their fans. Regardless of the cause, rebounds are possible, and developers can always correct seemingly catastrophic errors based on initial feedback to create a better experience. Games like No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077, and Final Fantasy 14 had troubled receptions at launch due to major bugs but made big rebounds with desired tweaks. In the case of Hogwarts Mystery, instead of suffering from glitches or a plot filled with holes, its gameplay was ruined by needless microtransactions. However, off the back of its largest expansions to date, gamers seem more than willing to give Hogwarts Mystery another shot.
