I love the game but wouldnโt call it โopen worldโ. Open world would be like the new Zelda games in which I can go anywhere. In hogwarts legacy there are areas closed off from flying and I have to walk which would be fine if I was able to go around the confrontations by climbing up the mountains like I can in other open world games. Or even use the mountain side cliffs as a sniping post.
But all in all it is a good game.
