 Speaking from a similar position, it's a maybe 😁 Skyrim makes me snooze, I was riveted to L.A. Noire and Heaven's Vault. 
 I’m pretty much a Nintendo girl: Mario, Zelda (if you take out the fucking cooking and tedious bosses), Kirby. Just happily replayed Okami. My suspicion is that Hogwarts is too “collect seventeen herbs then cast exactly the right spell”, with a side order of character development trees, for me. 
 Not really.

 Can you just spam one button to get through a tedious fight*, or do you have to use potions and special combi moves and shite?

*Almost all of them. 
 Don’t ask me about combat, rn. I’m really pissed about an update in my fave game.

You have to push buttons quickly. 
 More than one button, or the same one? 

I’m big on “just press this one button and then the fight ends and you can do something interesting”. 
 If you buy a gaming mouse, one button on your keyboard, usually.

(Bought the game, didn’t go much beyond the intro. Trying to keep my gaming time to a minimum.) 
 Ah, I’d be getting it on Switch if at all. 
 @Flick 🇬🇧 @LostInCalifornia @Calvin Gaines I use a 360 controller, you hold down the right trigger and use the face buttons to cast different spells. Sometimes enemies will put up shields and you have to use a certain type of spell to break them, but I've mostly been sticking to the same two offensive spells. There's plenty of room to experiment. I haven't unlocked any of the unforgivable curses yet so don't know how those are gonna work 
 Aveda ka…. 

Misfire, hit the mirror. 

RIP tangle.
