The 85 or so it has on metacritic is underselling it a bit imo. This should easily be on the shortlist for game of the year and based on last year I would have put it 2nd to Eldin Ring.

My wife has no interest in video games but loves the Harry Potter books and movies has commented several times on how good it looks and the great job they did creating Higwarts.
The world is really amazing. Sometimes I just stop and just take in how deep the details are. Just a beautiful game. Combat is fun, and yet not over my poor abilities. The story so far is excellent as well.

My only minor quibble, time passes as you go yet you seem to never get tired. At night, Hogwarts just becomes a ghost-town (literally. You only see ghost about) yet the dorms are also empty. I feel like there needs to be some kind of rest mechanic.
