The graphics, as well as the introduction of new features, are particularly praised. For example, you can participate in fortress battles from home with the Knight Rider, something similar to raids in PoGo.

Critics highlight the instabilities of the game, with many players complaining about bugs and crashes. Additionally, the game is considerably slower than Pokémon GO, making it unsuitable to complete all tasks while walking.

Who is it suitable for? The game mainly targets Harry Potter fans. You will find almost all creatures that appeared in Harry Potter. It also fulfills a major wish for many fans: to finally cast spells like Harry and Co.

Trainers who feel underwhelmed in Pokémon GO might find their fun in Wizards Unite. The game is a bit more complex, and even fans of classic MMOs and MMORPGs might enjoy it, as it has borrowed some elements, such as the skill tree, from this genre.
