Amazing game, it's what the Harry Potter fans desperately needed.

Graphics
Fantastic visual effects, although some improvements were needed, especially in the textures and character modeling.
The world map is huge and it's not limited to Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade, but spreads widely throughout the Highlands. And the best thing is that it is well used.

Story
You arrive as a fifth grader, where you will have to reach the same level as the other fifth graders, while unraveling a mystery involving your abilities beyond normal magic, while being pursued by mysterious dark forces.
I have to be honest, although the story is captivating, I would have liked to be a character with some backstory rather than being a blank canvas. Yes, it's up to everyone's imagination, but it's not such an immersive experience. But you have the Sorting Hat draw to overcome early on, which will shape the game's story. That's interesting.
But you have a lot of characters to talk to, you are not alone.

Gameplay
If you've played Batman: Arkham Series, one of the more recent Assassin's Creed, Horizon Zero Dawn or Forbidden West and even The Witcher, the game is far from innovative. You will find the gameplay that is quite similar but still good.
I understand why, they wouldn't reinvent the wheel for the start of a future saga, they might want to play it safe.
I play a lot of RPGs, so I don't have much else to say.

Soundtrack
It's a pleasure to listen to. It's original, but they also took a lot of inspiration from John Williams' score from the first Harry Potter films.
Let's be honest, otherwise it would suck.

Conclusion
It's a fantastic game. Even though it's not very innovative, it guarantees fun and a lot to do, but not too much.
I completely recommend it.

It's a great game. It has a lot of room for improvement and could offer so much more.

It's not worth the price EA is asking for, so I advise buying this on (huge) sale.

A bit cartoonish for my taste. A downgrade comparing to NFS Heat, with a terrible soundtrack and a career mode with a lousy story.

The true definition of trying too hard.

Great game, amazing story, it's just too straight foward, doesn't have much to explore.

Nice game, with a very unique and kinda confusing story.
The enviroment itself might be a bit boring.

Fantastic game, and that's an understatement.
Like previous titles, LiS: TC manages to grab players with an interesting story while enjoying incredible graphics with eye-popping scenarios, while defining how the story will unfold based on the choices you make.

Thoroughly recommend.

Better graphics comparing to Trackmania Nations/United, but paying an monthly/annual subscriptions to play online?
It's a pay to play. For me, it's all said. Going back to the old one...

I can't say how much I love this game!
Nowadays I only see microtransactions and other useless things in new games, but this is the way to go.
Fun, fantastic story, on point gameplay, not overcomplicated, spectacular graphics and being able to be the most famous and popular character in the Marvel universe of all time.
I liked the detail of the game being full of NPC, it brings more reality to the game.
The gameplay itself is based on the Batman Arkham series, which I also loved.

It's a must buy.

The game is good and it got better with the "remastered" version, which just consists of just having a few more cars and races, instead of improved graphics.
But like the original, it turns out to be very empty and somewhat boring.
