The problem with HL is that it had very little to offer beyond "you're a witch at Hogwarts". They put together a great setting... then did nothing with it. It's a huge pity and a great waste of something that could've been amazing.

I absolutely liked the castle, was very cool, but aside from a few story missions it didn't feel like you were in school.

You can run around at night without issue, didn't have to attend certain classes until you wanted. Maybe some more persona style social simulation aspects mixed in would help. Idk.

I don't know, the class component thing in fire emblem three houses absolutely killed my interest in that game. Sometimes it's good to skip a bit of the monotony.

This is true, it can really throw off the tone. But for a game that is supposed to be about going to school, it didn't really feel like it.

Maybe they did try it and had to drop it because it wasn't fun. Not sure.

It's a heavy year so I can understand Hogwarts being left off especially since people have a reason to dislike. Very loved by the casual audience (where I am at least) but I don't think any of my gamer friends cared for it that much.

I'm pretty surprised it didn't get any nominations. I guess it didn't do anything revolutionary, but it was a polished open world rpg with a good story and world building. Personally I think it's partly because TOTK is given too much praise.
