The 15 Best Games Like 'Hogwarts Legacy'

For a cushier take on the Hogwarts Legacy formula, go ahead and seek out this cutesy magical life simulator called Little Witch in the Woods. As the young apprentice witch named Ellie, you'll spend your days and nights perusing through a mystical forest as you gather ingredients for extensive potion-making. Alongside those mandatory duties, you'll also discover hidden parts of the forest overworld, run into fantastical NPCs that you can befriend, and tend to your studies at "Witch School."

Now, what if the highly engrossing farming mechanics featured in Stardew Valley got mashed together with the magical duties attached to players who step into the role of a witch attending magic school? That game is set to exist in the form of Witchbrook, which is actually being developed by the studio behind the aforementioned farming sim. Keep an eye on this one if you're ready for some brand-new games like Hogwarts Legacy - attending classes, mastering the magical arts, and interacting with all the other witches of Mossport should definitely appeal to you!

Another upcoming game that lets you live the life of a powerful sorcerer is Tiny Witch. In this game, you're tasked with managing a minion store and mixing up the right ingredients needed to create fearsome beasts that can aid your clientele. And who is your clientele, you ask? Dungeon masters! Keep them happy by cooking up all sorts of vicious beasts and improve your magical store along the way as you concoct everything you need to be a successful witch.

If you loved all the potion-making classes you take in Hogwarts Legacy, then Potion Permit should certainly appeal to you. In this game, you take on the role of the best chemist in town. And in order to keep the residents of Moonbury in good spirits (and more importantly, alive!), you'll need to gather ingredients and create the potions you need to cure the ailments of the townspeople that have put their trust in you.

Slavic mythology rests at the heart of this dark turn-based RPG. Black Book sees players navigating a world inspired by 19th-century Russia, where a young sorceress named Vasilisa seeks out a totem that can grant her the one wish she desires - to bring back her deceased lover. During your adventure, you'll take on terrifying monsters during tense card-combat battles, solve clever puzzles, and make major decisions that will alter the course of Vasilisa's journey.

We got another life/farming sim here in the form of Wylde Flowers. And just as you expected, you'll live out your day-to-day life as a talented witch. Named Tara, you'll tend to your usual farming jobs in the daytime. But once the sun comes down and the moon rises, you'll focus on your "bewitching" behavior as you fly on your broomstick, brew potions, transform into a cat, and even change the weather at will! You'll most definitely have a ton of fun working in the town of Fairhaven and interacting with its lovable community.

We know, we know - you're shocked to see The Sims 4 on a list of the best games like Hogwarts Legacy. But its placement is quite fitting here thanks to the game's fun Realm of Magic expansion. This magic-infused portion of the most popular life sim lets you become a Spellcaster, engage in wand battles, come into contact with fellow wizards and witches, and do so much more within your new magical surroundings.

Judging by the name of this game, you should already have a clear idea of what you're in store for here. But instead of playing the part of a student, you'll be the headmaster of your own magical institution and develop it instead. Your leadership role entails developing the school's physical properties, managing your overall budget, recruiting worthy faculty members, and making sure your student body is properly trained in the art of magical battle.

It's not every day you get exposed to a chemist simulator. Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator is one of those rare examples of that particular sub-genre and it's a lot more fun than one would expect. The game's olden-times-inspired visual palette looks amazing, plus the main gameplay loop that revolves around inventing new potions for your shop is great all around. Experiment to your heart's content so you can invent the best potions known to man and help your fellow townsfolk get the healing help they need.

Academagia: The Making of Mages may have come out all the way back in 2010, but its quality life sim and RPG elements are still worth taking a chance on. And on this list of the best games like Hogwarts Legacy, it certainly comes the closest to replicating that game's overall experience. As a first-year mage, you'll attend the renowned "Academy of Magic." And as expected, you'll perform all of the everyday duties that are featured in Hogwarts Legacy. Learning spells, meeting students, training mystical beasts, and discovering hidden portions of the map will define much of your experience here.

There aren't any assault rifles or rocket launchers available to you in this VR FPS - you'll blow away the competition here with the assistance of your chosen wands and the debilitating spells that shoot out of them. Wands is a pretty worthwhile 1v1 multiplayer experience that's outfitted with 15 wands, 25 spells, cross-platform play across various VR headsets, and more.

A lot of people thought and truly wished Hogwarts Legacy was an MMORPG. Thankfully, there's actually a game within that sub-genre called Wizard101 that lets you experience the life of a young wizard in the "Ravenwood School of Magical Arts." After choosing your preferred elemental school (Balance, Myth, Storm, Fire, Ice, Life, or Death), you'll participate in card-based battles, journey through 16 expansive worlds, and hang out with millions of other magic users in the hub world known as "The Spiral."

What if Hogwarts Legacy was a "Soulslike?" If that was originally the case, it would definitely play something like Little Witch Nobeta. As Nobeta, you'll make your way through a dangerous castle full of relentless foes and tricky puzzles that will test your patience and will. You'll have to embrace some masterful strafing and dodging as you use your skillset (which includes spells powered by Arcane, Ice, Fire, and Thunder) to stay in the fight.

We got another VR multiplayer pick here that's perfect for folks on the lookout for the best games like Hogwarts Legacy. While Wands is a 1v1 experience, Wands Alliances ups the ante by putting forth a 3v3 FPS multiplayer challenge worth taking the plunge on. You'll wander through different battlefields set within Victorian London and get into some of the fiercest magic duels you'll ever play.

So GrimGrimoire is a gorgeous-looking real-time strategy RPG that follows a witch-in-training named Lillet Blan.
