The LEGO Harry Potter Collection is a remastered compilation of two previously released games: LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7. This collection brings together both titles, which originally came out on older consoles, into a single package, updated for modern systems. Here’s a breakdown of the updates that came with the LEGO Harry Potter Collection:
1. Graphical Enhancements
- Remastered graphics: The biggest change in the collection is the updated visual quality. The game now has enhanced lighting, shadows, and effects, making the environments look more polished and vibrant. The characters and levels have improved textures as well.
- HD resolution: The game runs in high definition (HD) on modern consoles, offering sharper image quality compared to the original releases.
2. All DLC Included
- The collection includes all the downloadable content (DLC) that was previously released for the original games. This includes:
- Additional characters, like Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, and Rowena Ravenclaw.
- Extra spells and outfits, allowing for more customization and gameplay variety.
3. Optimized for Modern Consoles
- The collection was released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, which means it is fully optimized for these platforms. This includes smoother performance, better loading times, and control scheme adjustments for modern hardware.
4. Two Games in One
- The LEGO Harry Potter Collection offers both games as a single package, meaning players can experience all the events from Harry Potter’s first year at Hogwarts all the way to the Battle of Hogwarts in the final year.
5. Same Classic Gameplay
- The core gameplay remains largely unchanged, with the familiar LEGO humor, puzzle-solving, exploration, and spell-casting mechanics from the original games.
These updates make the LEGO Harry Potter Collection a refreshed experience, particularly for players who enjoyed the original games and want to relive the magic on modern consoles.
