With all the controversy around the game, I pretty much ignored anything to do with it at launch. Since the game is on sale right now I wanted to know, is it actually any good? If it is I'd like to play it.

I enjoyed it for quite a while. The story is kinda meh but I overlooked it because exploring Hogwarts and flying the broom was so fun. Combat was initially really fun as well. But I found myself getting sort of bored with it. The enemies are fairly bland and the spell switching was cumbersome so combat became a chore. I'm giving myself a break before going back to finish it.

I feel the exact same way. It was cool for a bit. But the mods I have helped make it cooler and more enthralling in the world

Well said. I had a similar experience. I was very impressed by the production value great models, textures, amazing digital recreation of Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, the game drags on and it's filled with Ubisoft-style chores.

Instead of mainlining the story, I decided to get lost in the world, do side quests and explore. It was fun for a while - a long while - but then begun wearing thin. I was ready to wrap up the adventure and finish the game when I realized I'm maybe 60% through only.

Put it away for later and haven't touched it again in months...
