Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
About the Game
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is based on the movie of the same name. The player takes the role of Harry Potter who has to fight against Lord Voldemort and his minions. The game is not completely linear - between the chapters Harry can explore the school at his own leisure.
Gameplay & Core Systems
If the player does not want to walk and search around, they have two ways to cut a corner: portraits, which are unlocked during the course of the game, can be used to teleport instantly to another place. Exploration has mostly one goal: finding the 150 (more or less) hidden crests which unlock achievements and trophies. Because Harry lost his ability to jump and climb, he has to use spells to reach them. The player will spend most of his time in three mini games: magic duels, brewing potions, and quidditch. The duels are used to learn new spells respectively improve the already known.
Standout Features
- Harry can also call a ghost which shows him the fastest way to the next mission.
