The storyline focuses on two girls, Maddie & Tara, who trip to a mysterious village called Eysenfield as part of a paranormal vlog assignment.  Things take a dangerous turn when they are swept up in a supernatural crisis that will change Maddie & Tara’s forever. 

The game boasts an entirely original soundtrack and incredible character and CG art. 

For those who are 18+, two optional 18+ patches can be downloaded to add additional scenes of a mature nature.

Any Xbox fans who are also lovers of the magical world have been eagerly awaiting the release of the new Xbox One game Hogwarts Legacy. This promising game takes you to Hogwarts as a late-joiner in the 1800’s. Your character soon finds out that they are not a typical student but one that has discovered the ability to use and master the Ancient Magic.

In this magical adventure, you will have to choose to either keep this secret to yourself, ‘for the good of all’ or fall into the temptation of darker magic. The culmination of this game puts the fate of the wizarding world in your hands. This game is not available for those under 16, so it is not going to be like many of the more kid-friendly Harry Potter games you are used to.

Unfortunately, it looks like the release of Hogwarts Legacy has been pushed out to some unknown date in 2022. However, if you are looking for a Hogwarts adventure like no other, keep a look out for this special release.

Every single hardcore gamer already usually has quite a nifty setup, but are there things you can do or buy to improve your gaming experience even more? It goes without saying that to ensure you play the best you can, you need to have the ultimate gaming set up so we have listed our top 5 things that you can do or buy to enhance your gaming experience.

Lighting – this is key. Glare on your screen can be super off-putting ultimately meaning you are distracted so cannot play to the best of your ability. Kitting out your den with special lighting will improve everything. We recommend opting for top-quality LED bulbs.

A decent gaming chair – this is a biggie, if you are spending hours gaming you need to be comfortable. You need proper lumbar support to ensure you don’t damage your back. This tip ultimately will help your health, which will enhance your gaming experience and keep you playing for longer.

A great headset – We have all been there with having issues with poor quality headsets which isn’t fun and can be frustrating. Look on the market and find a decent headset. Although pricey to start – you will save as they last a lot longer.

Monitor – You need to have a fairly good monitor to have the ultimate gaming experience. You need a good size but not too big as this can make it harder to see everything you need to. opt for at least HD but 4k monitors are fairly reasonably priced nowadays too.

General Décor – if your walls are painted a light colour this can cause glare. You want a darker colour – lots of gamers sway towards a black matte colour for this reason. You can also purchase some posters or wall prints to really give your gaming den the right look.
