The graphics in the remastered collection have seen some improvements, particularly in textures, shading, and lighting, but many players feel these enhancements are minimal and not worth the full price. While some areas show better visuals, others remain dark or buggy, leading to mixed reviews about the overall graphical quality. Overall, the remaster is seen more as a collection of the original games with slight visual upgrades and added achievements rather than a significant graphical overhaul.
“Improved graphics especially textures, shading and lighting, added achievements.”
“With updated graphics, fun puzzles, and tons of hidden secrets, it brings a fresh take on the Harry Potter universe, all with Lego’s trademark humor.”
“Graphics are polished and the game runs perfectly smooth flawlessly.”
“The fact that WB charges full price for this when the two games by themselves come out incredibly cheaper, the graphics in terms of textures and lighting are slightly prettier in comparison but also weaken in other places (the 5-7 red brick room has all the red bricks in complete shadow) and despite the games being fourteen (years 1-4) and almost thirteen (years 5-7) years old, the bugs in the original versions have gone unfixed for this collection.”
“Returned it in 15 minutes after realizing the graphics looked essentially the same as when I played this game on my Switch.”
“The supposed graphics improvement is not or at most barely noticeable.”
