Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince review
by Notly

I want to talk about the unique innovations of this game.

Potion Brewing:
It was not just an additional task but a unique gameplay element that added diversity to the gaming experience. Each potion required a specific set of ingredients and the correct execution of certain steps to achieve the desired result. The player had to carefully follow the instructions and react correctly to changes in the brewing process, creating a sense of achievement from successfully creating magical potions.

Duels:
They were a way to test your spells in battles with other students. While some duels might have seemed too simple due to repetitive button pressing, they still required tactical thinking and quick reactions. Players had to choose the appropriate spells for attack and defense and anticipate the opponent's actions to emerge victorious. Duels added an element of competitiveness and excitement to the gameplay.

Exploration Elements:
Players were given the freedom to roam around «Hogwarts» and its surroundings, allowing for a deeper immersion into this universe. We could discover hidden secrets, complete tasks for characters, and explore various locations. This added elements of adventure and exploration to the game.

These aspects together created an engaging gaming experience that allowed for a deeper immersion into the lore of the «Harry Potter» universe.
