I played a few hours of this game and i played the original to death.
Its not bad, its actually “a better video game” by a large way. But its definitely not what i was expecting.
Graphics are childlike and lowres, while i was really hoping for a Hogwarts legacy level of fidelity. The “your heroes” bit in the tutorial had me cringing.
Its more inspired by quidditch and not at all faithful but that is what makes the gameplay better. The snitch may come up 3 times in a match and gives 30 points.
But that means that snitch is actually a proper tie breaker.
In the old game that becomes way to easy past the age of 12 i remember having scores of 300-0 and i had yet to catch the snitch. The new game is more challenging in direct comparison.
Its weird that teams are so small and i have doubts with certain mechanics but if you mostly play chaser/seeker i don’t really notice much of that and its quite fun.
The promise of no in game real purchases has been holding true and its much cheaper then other modern games.
Conclusion, it isn’t what i or many people wanted and expected but it is definitely not bad a game (as i was worried) and will definitely go back to it.
I originally wasn’t going to get it unless it was what i expected but then i had one of them super bad days just as i saw it got released and i needed a distraction.

That lines up with my beta experience, obviously minus the expectations. It feels hectic and rocket league-y, and juggling between roles with their abilities (keeper can give speed rings, beaters knock people out, etc) was fun.
Definitely feels like a game you could dominate with basic team communication though
Nice!

Have only seen one gameplay video on YouTube and those guys seemed not to quite know what they were doing. I don’t think I can convince my friends to play it.
The 2000’s one seems to have a better gameplay, on this one the field seems bigger, so less action

The 2000s version could be overcome completely by spamming pass down the field, scoring point after point before catching the snitch for an easy win. It was pretty laughable
Hey, don’t break my rose-tinted glasses!

Fair enough 😂 I broke my own last year when I set up an emulator
Damn 😂
